> which is effectively what this model is doing.

That isn't what it's doing and it's not what distillation is.

The smaller models are distillations, they use the same architecture they were using before.

The compute required for Llama-3.1-8B and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B are identical.

In general I agree that this is a rapidly advancing space, but specifically:

> the Llama 8B model trained on R1 outputs (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B), according to these benchmarks, is stronger than Claude 3.5 Sonnet

My point is that the words 'according to these benchmarks' is key here, because it's enormously unlikely (and this upheld by the reviews of people testing these distilled models), that:

> the Llama 8B model trained on R1 outputs (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B) is stronger than Claude 3.5 Sonnet

So, if you have two things:

1) Benchmark scores

2) A model that clearly is not actually that enormously better from the distillation process.

Clearly, clearly, one of those two things is wrong.

Either:

1) The benchmarks are meaningless.

2) People are somehow too stupid to be able to evalulate the 8B models and they really are as good as Claude sonnet.

...

Which of those seems more likely?

Perhaps I'm biased, or wrong, because I don't care about the benchmark scores, but my experience playing with these distilled models is that they're good, but they're not as good as sonnet; and that should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone.
They are about as dangerous as Chinese Americans, which is to say, not at all.

Particular people are problematic. But you can only judge that by actions, not by their country of birth.

Which is what makes this foreign manipulation rhetoric and ban rubbish. It refuses to identify what the bad actions it's trying to protect us from are, it's just a lazy, prejudiced rubric that gives the most egregious ones a free pass, because they have the right color stripes on their pin.
Whilst I do detest much of Azure DevOps, one thing I do like about their pipelines is that we can securely use service connections and key vaults in Azure to secure pipeline tasks that require credentials to be managed securely.

That is correct. Tito is very loved and respected even now, and not just by older generations but rather pretty much even younger folks think he was a great guy. He's considered great because he managed to unify the whole balkan slavic block (despite religious differences), and there were even talks to bring Bulgaria into Yugoslavia, however Stalin objected and that never happened. People love him because he wasnt a shitty dictator, he didnt abuse his power, and he fought off both the nazis and the fascists. After Tito died, Yugoslavia went on a downfall, both economically and socially. There was also ofcourse a lot of foreign meddling.

Yes! I do this when doing anything destructive ("rm -rf dir", "drop db", etc.) - i just stop and say out loud what environment I'm in, what the command I'm running is going to do and why I am doing it. This is in a remote-work situation, in an office I would have someone come double check the really destructive things before hitting enter..
If this were about security, it wouldn't matter what piece of software was implementing the well documented security protocol. BambuSlicer, or OrcaSlicer, it would be all the same because the underlying protocol would be the security guarantee. This is rudimentary security tradecraft.

Bambu Lab is introducing something else. Most charitably, it could be described as security through obscurity, which is never secure. More realistically, Bambu Lab is introducing vendor lock-in under the pretext of security. Vendor lock-in is what this change actually achieves.

If you want a more trustworthy review, check out Maker Muse' recent review on current-crop bedslingers. Interestingly, unlike the standard influencer talking points, they came to the conclusion that the Prusa is easiest to set up and operate (while not being negative on Bambu).

One place i have run into confusion is being able to express a given span of time in multiple ways. 1m30s and 90s are the same length, but are they the same thing? Should we always normalise? If we do, do we normalise upwards or downwards? This hasn't actually been a problem with time, but i do similar handling with dates, and it turns out we often want to preserve the distinction between 1y6m and 18m. But also sometimes don't. Fun times.

Moving to mTLS authentication is going to get Bambu on a ban list? That's incredibly hyperbolic.

Though, if you're right, between the Huwaei ban, DJI ban and the TikTok ban, it's becoming clearer the U.S. no longer really believes in a free market if it doesn't own the market. There may be legitimate reasons to enact a ban, but it sure looks convenient that they're banning all the tech that is that is clearly superior to U.S-owned alternatives.
I was part of a group that did something like this. We used a crypto token system where if you joined the group you got X number of tokens and you could use that to get other people in the network to help with various tasks.

Then the network would take a small percentage of equity in the companies of all the members.
Agreed, most of the CI tools don't help in getting feedback early to the developers. I shouldn't have to wait hours for my CI job to complete. Harness is a tool that can reduce build times by caching build artifacts, docker layers and only running a subset of tests that were impacted the by the code change.
I'm merely an outsider to Dagger, but I believe the page you linked to would give one the impression "but why golang[1] around some shell literals?!" because to grok its value one must understand that m.BuildEnv(source) <https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/env#inspect-the-dagger-fun...> is programmatically doing what https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/workflo... would do: define the docker image (if any), the env vars (if any), and other common step parameters

That conceptually allows one to have two different "libraries" in your CI: one in literal golang, as a function which takes in a source and sets up common step configurations, and the other as Dagger Functions via Modules (<https://docs.dagger.io/features/modules> or <https://docs.dagger.io/api/custom-functions#initialize-a-dag...>) which work much closer to GHA uses: blocks from a organization/repo@tag style setup with the grave difference that they can run locally or in CI, which for damn sure is not true of GHA uses: blocks

The closest analogy I have is from GitLab CI (since AFAIK GHA does not allow yaml anchors nor "logical extension"):

.common: &common # <-- use whichever style your team prefers
image: node:21-slim
cache: {} # ...
environment: [] # ...
my-job1:
stage: test
<<: *common
script: [ npm, run, test:unit, run ]
my-job2:
stage: something-else
extends: .common
script: echo "do something else"

I agree in general, but not in this specific case. "He's not a hero. He's just a guy" makes it such that "he's just a guy" is applying specifically to the "he's not a hero" bit. I didn't take it as anything more than that, and I don't think the author intended it to mean they believe Graham is just an average person with an average amount of money, power, or influence.

The time value of money (TVM) surmises that money is worth more now than at a future date based on its earning potential. Because money can grow when invested, any delay is a lost opportunity for growth. The time value of money is a core financial principle known as the present discounted value.

As the issue here came through software update, you should look at it under the same lens for Apple.

For instance did an OS update ever prevent you from doing something that you could before ?

Yes. Countless times. OS updates have breaking changes, older apps lose support etc.

And for iOS these updates are irreversible under supported ways, while the very nature of the "there's an app for this" paradigm means losing a third party app equals losing that functionality for your device when you upgrade (you won't get a translation layer or virtualization to help the transition)

You may like Apple more and feel they communicate better, but fundamentally it's the same situation.

> where does the real virtue start and the performance begin

This reminds me of when people criticize other people for not simply being themselves. Maybe they are being themselves, and that's just not good enough for you?

The argument against "virtue signaling" is a judgement against doing something which the critic doesn't think is beneficial or necessary, and so they conclude it must be performative. But, the person doing it thinks it is beneficial or necessary.

Thus, the critic is failing to allow for a different view. Not that they have to accept the different view, but they should at least be able to recognize that someone else has a different view than their own. But, they can't or won't.

I feel like the way you describe it came from the people who came of age in the 70s and made so much of what we now see as “hacker culture.”

The case for this not being flagged: this is an intellectually curious forum and the mods have a proven ability to adequately moderate other contentious threads and allow politically-charged posts.

If what Pres. Biden said about a growing oligarchy holds true, more posts like this should be expected in the future (especially given the attendees from the tech sector at today’s inauguration), and it’s far better to have a trustworthy place to discuss these types of stories, given HN’s readership, than places like BlueSky or Reddit (read: content optimized for algorithms); the amount of intellect here could lead to positive outcomes. Additionally, given the amount of industrywide impact the actions of CEOs have, and a large percentage of us are founders, it would be more valuable than not to have the discussion.

So to the mods: please consider updating the site’s ToS to allow posts and discussions like this. It’s valuable to have these discussions, and quasi-favoritism like allowing pg’s DEI screed while flagging this, shows clear editorial bias.
Agree. CI should be handled as code.

I didn't know it was well known but that's exactly how I felt when I recently tried to use it.

I won't be going back to it the experience isnt worth it. I'm instead having more fun just beatmatching by ear with the pitch fader :)
Literally no rights agreement covers LLMs. They cover reproduction of the work, but LLMs don't obviously do this i.e. that the model transiently runs an algorithm over the text is superficially no different to the use of any other classifier or scoring system like those already used by law firms looking to sue people for sharing torrents.

It's not distillation from o1 for the reasons that you have cited, but it's also no secret that ChatGPT (and Claude) are used to generate a lot of synthetic data to train other models, so it's reasonable to take this as evidence for the same wrt DeepSeek.

Of course it's also silly to assume that just because they did it that way, they don't have the know-how to do it from scratch if need be. But why would you do it from scratch when there is a readily available shortcut? Their goal is to get the best bang for the buck right now, not appease nerds on HN.
But that's still too simplistic. It's certainly not fair to say that every single Russian (or non-Russian!) soldier who is or has been in Ukraine is a "baddie". Some are trapped by their circumstances to fight in a war they don't believe in and don't agree with.

It's easy to say, "well then they should refuse to fight", but you are not that person, and you don't know their struggles or what they feel they are capable of doing.

I think it's reasonable to say that Putin and his war-mongering crones are baddies, but you just said "Russia" and "they started the war". Lumping all people together like that is how we dehumanize people and fail to find common ground that can improve everyone's situation.
