The Economist did address these, their basic argument is that trade is a win-win.

Usually when these win-wins go wrong they have the gains filtered off by a middleman or monopolist but in this case it seems the government uses the money earned to subsidize household bills which means they do get the benefit of trade.

Stopping the trade therefore means higher prices for domestic consumers. This is the basic point the article makes repeatedly.

I've just looked it up because I hadn't heard this - it was only compulsory until 16 "in my day"! Turns out it still is, here in Wales, and also Scotland and NI. Only England changed it to 18. Our devolved governments love to make things confusing.

I honestly can't tell if this is a bot post because of just how bad I find Deepseek R1 to be. When asking it complex questions based on an app I'm working on, it always gives a flawed response that breaks the program.

When, precisely, did programmers stop caring about efficiency? Why is everything in the modern tech stack so bloated and inefficient?

The other commenter has this right, that now the joke has been explained on the internet, it will be harvested and LLMS will regurgitate variations on the explanations, then people will believe that the LLMs have become "more intelligent" in general. They have not, they just have more data for this specific test.
i have a passively cooled Quieter 4C [1] with N100 and a 4TB [dram-less] nvme [2] and it draws 4.5W total at idle running EndeavourOS w/ KDE Plasma. at full load (Handbrake 1440p transcode) it draws ~10W.

i left it at stock bios settings and did not put it into higher TDP mode though, since i use it as an htpc and it mostly idles, i'd rather it stay at more comfortable operating temps.

the nvme cost me more than the pc, which for $207 includes 16GB ram, 512GB nvme, and a Win11 Pro license. insane.

That depends on whether the research increases the risk of a pandemic by any appreciable amount, compared to all the other things humans do.

It's kind of absurd that he have hundreds of millions of farmers and hunters interacting with infected animals every day, and nobody cares, but then we have a few researchers interacting with the same viruses under highly controlled conditions, and that's what we're worried about.

The reason is that people have watched too many sci-fi horror movies and listened to too many xenophobic / fear-mongering politicians who want to find scapegoats.

The problem with imposing even tighter conditions on research is that you end up making the research much more difficult, expensive, unattractive to actual scientists who have to live their lives. And all that for security theater, just to pander to ignorant politicians who won't actually be satisfied.

Same in Switzerland, with the added quirk/bonus that shops in train stations are allowed to open on Sundays, when shops outside of train stations usually can't open due to employment laws. This wasn't originally meant as a way to increase attractiveness of businesses in train stations and other public transit places, rather as a way to make sure that people travelling have services available while on their way. But nowadays it's definitely a big reason for people to come specifically shop in train stations on the weekend.
Just as a note, in my experience, Kagi Assistant is considerably worse when you have web access turned on, so you could start with turning that off.

Or at least that's my experience with it, regardless of what underlying model I've used.

in contrast, even when the computer wasn't responding, it never lost keystrokes. I'd type ahead and then the characters would appear when it was ready.

now, the windows computer just randomly loses characters and loses focus for no reason. if it's not paying attention when you're typing or clicking, it just won't respond.

Winning is not possible: only the queen is strong enough to win against two bishops, and that fails to the check and loss of queen from black tiled bishop.

So draw is most one can get. Underpromoting to knight (with check, thus avoiding the check by the bishop) is the only way to promote and keep the piece another move.

I guess in this situation the knight against two bishops keeps the draw.
But if you had to do it manually, it would presumably be plumbed everywhere to start with.

Being a fanboy of Universal(统一) Token(文字)， I think Chinese is the most easy one to work with. Since Chinese has no characters, it just have a few thousand tokens. Unicode code point is good starting point for Chinese.

What about English? Just as there is no natural boundary between tokens in English, there is no natural boundary between words in Chinese. Before LLM became popular, people had invented many ways to do Chinese word segmentation, just like nowadays people are inventing many ways to do tokenization.

However in the past, most of the time, you would end up with ngrams. If we learn that from history, ngrams should be a good starting point for English. For example, word "token" should be 3 tokens, "tok", "oke", "ken". Once add Chinese, everything should be just fine.

To be more controversial, I would say there is no such a language called Chinese. They are a group of languages who adopted Universal Token. Now it is time for English to jump on the bandwagon.

> If you want to compare the DeepSeek-R development costs to anything, you should be comparing it to what it cost OpenAI to develop GPT-o1 (not what they plan to spend to run it)

They aren't comparing the 500B investment to the cost of deepseek-R1 (allegedly 5 millions) they are comparing the cost of R1 to the one of o1 and extrapolating from that (we don't know exactly how much OpenAI spent to train it, but estimates put it around $100M, in which case deepseek would have been only 95% more cost-efficient, not 99%)
But there is a reasoning (see my reply above): winning is not possible (only the queen is strong enough against two bishops), so draw should be the goal. And underpromoting to knight is only way to keep the piece for another move while still promoting.
Endgame by definition means they're bored out of their minds.
We don't know how many spillover events there were. Just just know that it's at least two. Most spillover events probably do not lead to a sustained outbreak.

The problem with positing that the mutations happened after spillover is that the timeline is way too short. Multiple variants were present at the market just weeks after the initial human cases. That points to differentiation before spillover, probably on the farms where the animals were being kept.

> Inference is not where the majority of this CAPEX is used

That's what's baffling with Deepseek's results: they spent very little on training (at least that's what they claim). If true, then it's a complete paradigm shift.

And even if it's false, the more wide AI usage is, the bigger the share of inference will be, and inference cost will be the main cost driver at some point anyway.
It's funny how everyone's opinions have changed now Trump is in power. It just shows how much of what people say is to advance their own interests rather than to say the truth.

Personally I'd guess it was almost certainly a lab leak doing research similar proposed by Ralph Baric (the world's leading researcher on this stuff) as described in his testimony to a congressional committee. His work was proposed for US funding and didn't get it but probably the Chinese conducted much the same research themselves and the research pretty much is to make covid for research purposes. One of the viruses he mentions interest in has an insert amino acid identical to covid.

Re. what the sensible authorities at the time have to say I give you the head of the CDC at the time and the chair of the Lancet covid enquiry:

CDC Redfield: "[The US] contributed to the research that led to it and that's to say is that the US government was very involved in funding the Chinese lab that did this research..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMlhvnMpRU0&t=119s

Lancet, Sachs: "Where do you think Covid came from".. "Covid
um the question is which lab and in which way. It almost surely did not
come out of nature uh it almost surely came out of uh a
deliberate research project ..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS-3QssVPeg&t=6493s

Also amusingly on of the scientists most active in implying anyone suggesting a lab leak was a crank or conspiracy theorist at the time of the outbreak was Kristin Anderson. Later his slack chats were subpoenaed and he was saying in them “The main thing still in my mind is that the lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario.” He then got a $7m grant from Fauci totally unrelated to saying the research Fauci funded couldn't have been the problem.
I didn’t even know you could pick which piece you want to promote to. But I’m also not an average chess player.

So the correct move is to move the Pawn up and promote to knight?

Man, this is sweet! Do you know if there’s something similar but for Vaillant’s eBus?
This reminds of a similar issue I had recently when working with Rust and dx12 using the excellent windows-rs crates. Dx12 is designed around the concept of command buffers that only get submitted and evaluated at (usually) the end of the frame. This means that you need to take care to keep references around to the data you're submitting because otherwise dx12 will be looking at broken pointers once the command buffers actually get executed.

The tooling around this is much easier to deal with it, of course, since it's all just Windows and there's a bunch of sane debug layers that you can use.

Massive respect to be able to debug the issue on an embedded system!
Yeah, overly complicated firmware like this just isn't great. It's always hard to debug and fix these issues, and there is no "if everything were just written in X" miracle-world where that goes away.

For example, I've encountered hardware that would occasionally write unexpected-error details to a memory location that was completely undocumented. And if you expect more than a shrug from a vendor after pointing out such things, well...

This is the closest I could find to what the 68000 opcode map looks like:

http://goldencrystal.free.fr/M68kOpcodes-v2.3.pdf

It's reminiscent of ARM, but the relevant part is that the CAS instruction's second word bits 5:0 look like a "modrm" (to use the x86 terminology) where the officially documented values select only Dn, but the undocumented variant would correspond to (d16,An). At least, that's my theory for why A1 gets modified.

MOS brings macOS' smooth scrolling to any mouse
The push-to-left doesn't matter. Most people will read one thing on the site so they're not navigating between pages anyway, most of the remainder aren't clicking through pages fast enough to even notice the jump, most of those that do notice it know how scrollbars work, and the remainder is you :)

I guarantee nobody will complain about the jump, but they will (did) complain about disabling basic browser functionality.

If the jump really bothers you, you can replace your rule with

html {
overflow-y: scroll
}

which should force scrollbars to appear on every page whether they're needed or not. But you don't need it.

That has been also my problem when I was using phind. In both cases, very often i turn the web search off to get better results. I suspect there is too much pollution from bad context from search results some of which may not be completely relevant to the task. But sometimes I work on things and libraries that are more niche/obscure and without search the models do not know these very well.

I have the impression that things get better when using very narrow lenses for whatever I ask them for, but I have not tested this properly wrt all 3 conditions. Is there a kind of query that you see considerable improvement when the model does not have web access?
