DeepSeek AI

1月

29日

A Chinese AI company called DeepSeek has released a new chatbot, R1, which is free, open source, and highly cost-efficient. The R1 model reportedly performs comparably to OpenAI's latest model at just 3-4% of the cost per output, requiring less than $6 million and only two months to develop, using earlier-generation chips. This breakthrough has influenced major stock indexes, as it signals that AI technology could become significantly more affordable to develop. The R1 model has already become the top free download in the Apple App Store.

While DeepSeek may not disrupt major US AI companies, analysts believe it could reshape the economics of the industry. This raises a strategic opportunity: monitoring the trend of cost-efficient AI could enable PSPINC to enhance hosting services and product development by integrating more affordable AI solutions. It might be worth exploring R1, given that it is both free and open source.

My new computer setup

Instead of having a large 37 inch curb monitor, I decided to use 23 inch monitors for my new Mac mini setup. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to where you started, but I'll try this out for now.

37インチの大型カーブモニターを使う代わりに、新しいMac miniのセットアップでは23インチのモニターを使うことにしました。もしうまくいかなければ、元に戻すつもりですが、とりあえずこれで試してみます。

Mac mini M4 Docking Station with 2TB SSD

1月

23日

It took about one month since I ordered it on Amazon. The docking station has arrived from China. Why is everything like this built in China? Why isn't any manufacturer in the US or Japan make this. I added sun disk to terabyte SSD so I have two more terabytes of memory on my computer plus much needed more USB and USB-C ports plus additional HDMI port.

Amazonで注文してから約1ヶ月かかりましたが、中国からドッキングステーションが届きました。どうしてこういったものは全部中国で作られているのでしょうか？アメリカや日本のメーカーはなぜ作らないのでしょうか？サンディスクの2テラバイトSSDを追加したので、私のコンピュータにはさらに2テラバイトのメモリが増え、必要だったUSBやUSB-Cポートが増設され、さらにHDMIポートも追加されました。

Trading Day #2

1月

23日

On the third day since President Trump assumed office, there was no stock trading on Inauguration Day as it was a public holiday. However, the second day of trading has now come to a close, and for the second consecutive day, stock prices have risen across the board. This suggests that there are high expectations for the new president. It feels a bit unsettling, almost like the market might be climbing too high, too fast.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 321 Preparing for the First Business Trip to Japan in 2025: Business Outlook

Preparing for the First Business Trip to Japan in 2025: Business Outlook

The new year has just begun, and I’m gearing up for my first business trip to Japan for the year. I’ll be departing on February 2 and arriving in Japan on February 3. I’ll be in Tokyo until February 9, after which I will head to the Kansai region. For this trip, I’ll be staying at Super Hotel Premier Tokyo Station Yaesu-Chuoguchi. This hotel features a hot spring bath called Takano Carbonated Spring Yaezakura no Yu, which I’m excited to experience for the first time.

The primary purpose of this business trip is to attend the Otsuka Shokai Solution Fair, starting on February 5. As many of you know, Otsuka Shokai is one of PSPINC’s key business partners in Japan, distributing and supporting our Dreamersi hosting service under the Alpha-Mail 2 brand. During the fair, I’ll be able to observe firsthand how our service is being presented and hold discussions aimed at strengthening our partnership further.

In addition to Dreamersi, PSPINC offers the following SaaS products to the U.S. market:

NewsMail: Email marketing and distribution tool
MegaMail: Advanced email service
Pass-Wizard: Password manager
ClickItAudio: Simple tool for creating and embedding audio content
Denrei: Secure and efficient messaging system

We also provide Virtual Private Server (VPS) solutions and are actively seeking new partner companies in Japan to help expand these services domestically.

This trip will also include meetings with clients and partners in both Tokyo and Kansai, with a focus on discovering new business opportunities. If you know of any companies interested in collaborating, we would greatly appreciate your introductions.

I’m looking forward to many fruitful encounters and experiences in Japan as we finalize our preparations for this journey. Thank you for your continued support!
