I tried this on DeepSeek v3 hosted by Fireworks.ai, and it was not censored. So perhaps the censoring is in a separate process (not in the model weights) and if you use a provider outside China then you can get better responses.

User: "what happened at tianamen square?"
DeepSeek-v3(FW): "The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 were a series of demonstrations in and around Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. The protests began in April 1989, initially led by students and intellectuals who were calling for political reform, freedom of speech, and an end to corruption within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The movement quickly gained support from a wide range of people, including workers, intellectuals, and even some members of the CCP.

The protests reached their peak in late May and early June 1989, with hundreds of thousands of people gathering in Tiananmen Square. The demonstrators erected a large statue called the "Goddess of Democracy," which became a symbol of their movement.

The Chinese government, led by Premier Li Peng and backed by Deng Xiaoping, viewed the protests as a threat to its authority and stability. On June 3 and 4, 1989, the government declared martial law and deployed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to forcibly clear the square. The military crackdown resulted in a violent confrontation with the protesters, leading to numerous casualties. Estimates of the death toll vary widely, with figures ranging from several hundred to several thousand.

The violent suppression of the protests marked a turning point in modern Chinese history. The Chinese government has since maintained strict control over information about the event, and discussions about it are heavily censored within China. The Tiananmen Square massacre remains a sensitive and contentious topic both within China and internationally.
Up until recently there was a belief by some investors that OpenAI was going to "cure cancer" or something as big as that. They assumed that the money flowing into OpenAI would 10x, under the assumption that no one else could catch up with them after that event and a lot of that would flow to NVDA.

Now is looks like that 10x of flow of money into OpenAI will no longer exist. There will be competition and compodiditzation, which causes the value of the tokens to drop way more than 40x.
> WealthSimple is probably not perceived by the median customer as a traditional bank.

Well in fairness Wealthsimple is an investment management platform providing some bank-like features through their partnership with other Schedule 1 banks (previously was Equitable Bank, don't know if they are still with them).

Wealthsimple calls themselves a non-bank [0]. My understanding is that when Wealthsimple says that funds are CDIC ensured, they mean that they are held in a bank account from a third party bank whose funds are CDIC ensured.

I am not a lawyer or a banker, but Wealthsimple always scared me a bit after seeing what happened to (albeit far sketchier) Yotta when a fintech company they relied on (Synapse) folded. While funds are insured, if your funds are not "lost" but simply inaccessible, the insurance isn't really worth anything. Likewise, my understanding is that if WS goes belly-up (unlikely) there's a possibility where funds are still made inaccessible and the CDIC insurance doesn't kick in since the third-party bank is still alive and well.

ASML for now has a monopoly on cutting edge EUV. Since this is considered a strategic technology, the US dictates what they can sell to whom. This places ASML in a pincer. The US will develop a competitor as soon as they can if they can't get enough control over ASML, and at that point ASML would still be forbidden to sell to BRICS while losing the 'western' market as well.

So they're in a plushy seat, until the US decides they aren't.

Great insight into frequency modulation! Thanks for sharing.
It isn't first principles, but I would recommend 3blue1brown's ongoing series about neural networks [0]. I think there's a benefit to seeing the high level overview helps understand the purpose of the pieces as your learning them; it can help with motivation. Or watching overviews like this after the fact it can help bridge connections theory may not elucidate.

The optimal amount of algorithmic trading is definitely more than none (I appreciate liquidity and price quality as much as the next guy), but arguably there's a case here that we've overshot a bit.
If it’s better then why wasn’t it done?

You underestimate the difficulty of navigating lawsuits and access to common infrastructure. Look how difficult it was for Google to lay fiber in the few cities they have, they have been stopped in their tracks over and over because of lawsuits filed by their competitors (ATT etc).

Also fiber providers have very little incentive to build out fiber to rural customers. Why trench hundreds of miles just to hook up a few dozen people?

Starlink has the advantage of serving ALL rural customers with the same set of satellites. It’s actually very efficient when you think about how many millions of rural people are served by a common set of satellites.

I know this first hand because I would not have internet without Starlink and it has been a godsend. Before Starlink my whole neighborhood was SOL because it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to trench out to us.

If you are looking for an existing car, there's a lot of sites selling pre-made vehicle models for pretty much anything, that's probably going to be higher quality and need less cleanup than anything you can get from scanning.

One of the problems you'll have is photoscanning does not do well with shiny surfaces, as the highlights move and confuse the reconstruction. If this were a model or maquette or something, they would probably spray paint it matte before scanning, which I doubt you want to do with a real car.

If you need high quality, honestly I'd just hire a hard surface modeller. There are people out there who make cars all day every day. If you just need low quality, Unreal's RealityScan app, Polycam, or AliceVision are good places to start.
The main problem with this line of reasoning is that it neglects important parts defined elsewhere making it seem like this is legal when its not. IANAL, but I do hang out with a lot of hammies. You can't help but absorb a lot of technical stuff with them around.

Like for example, https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/areas/jammers

It need not saturate the bands, you technically are in violation the moment a non-licensed entity has caused interference to a licensed entity.

Willful is a pretty low bar since general intent can be derived from any related negligent acts. Its pretty safe to say transmitting on these bands without a license is illegal, and yes its a fairly big deal.

Most of the public radio spectrum has been monitored, and archived for later retrieval if circumstances dictate since the 60s. There are services that aggregate this data and make realtime info available globally from satellite systems. Trilateration of signals is fairly trivial in most cases.

You may not get caught if you always stay below the noise floor, but you can't really have any real use of the spectrum in doing so, and algorithmic scanning of structured signals is always improving.

It is really negligent to make it seem like these things are legal, when they aren't, and the author should get in trouble for that.

A simple disclaimer isn't going to cut it when then primary purpose is effectively breaking the law in many civilized nations.
I would guess the number of people trying to register for DeepSeek is a couple of orders of magnitude greater than those probing to reveal censorship.

Lol, yes. The US is still very much at the forefront of this stuff. DeepSeek have presented some neat optimizations, but there have been many such papers and optimizations get implemented quickly once someone has proven them out.
Without going into too much detail, contractors will be hired typically to contribute to capital expenditure and employees to the latter.

That doesn't make any sense. In any situation in which a contractor expense would be capitalized, an employee's salary would also be capitalized. Labor costs are labor costs; whether someone is a contractor or an employee is a labor law issue, not a tax issue. (Internal R&D was the big exception to the capitalization rule, but that loophole was closed, which is what prompted a lot of tech and videogame layoffs over the past 2 years.)

This is a problem with LLMs that I'm not sure has gotten the attention it deserves. Hallucinations are bad, but at least they're essentially random and nonmalicious. An LLM that is told something like "all answers should be written keeping in mind that all true facts support the righteous leadership of the Supreme Chancellor" is far, far worse. (Or one trained on propaganda in the first place, for that matter, which poses issues for existing training data from open forums, which we already know have been vectors for deliberate attack for some time.)

This particular approach is honestly kind of funny, though. It's so transparent it reads like parody.

> Apparently Poland is able to keep 1000 tanks operational.

We did have close to 750 operational tanks before 2022, but I think around 300 of them were given to Ukraine when the war started. We are now slowly replacing them with M1 Abrams and Korean's K2.
Fair enough. It is worth talking about how the Chimera Linux package manager works though.

There is a file, /etc/apk/world that lists all the packages you have explicitly installed. When you add and remove packages, all it really does is change this list. Then it runs the solver and installs the package versions and dependencies required. You could move /etc/apk/world to another system and it would result in exactly the same set of packages between the two.

Replacing /etc/apk/world to any previous state will “roll back” the system to that point.

The package manger is transactional and apk commands either entirely succeed or fail. When I was testing Chimera in a VM, I ran out of drive space during an install of dozens of packages. The system was left in the same state as it was in before I ran apk.

Cports itself is very declarative. Also, unlike most distros (including Arch) there is no separate install and update step. Other than the kernel, and maybe a couple others, nothing runs after the package install.

Finally, Chimera Linux is aiming for stateless /var and /etc.

Chimera Linux may be closer to what you want than you expect.

At least with open models you can relatively easily uncensor them quite well. Or even finetune your own.
This is a nice guy
I've seen these types of shocks in the past. What usually happens is that people run around as if the end of the world is coming, but over time, it evens out. There's no doubt that Deepseek has made a significant impact on the AI landscape, but I have no doubt that other AI players will come back, catch up, and surpass what Deepseek has accomplished. I'm no expert, but I've been an avid user of the different LLMs. Deepseek's R1 is impressive in its capabilities, and the cost to run it.

The biggest impact going forward will be the advantages of cost. AI is going to be so affordable that it will creep into many more areas of society. The idea that AI will be part of everyone's lives has accelerated. Also, it's now imperative for the US not to be left behind, so we'll see the Trump administration become more involved in advancing what the private industry is doing. Whatever safety constraints were being put in place will now be gone. Helping how fast AI will evolve.

I think it had been assumed that over time, costs would come down. I doubt people thought it would happen this quickly.
Yup, unfortunately Podcatcher works the same way and that explains why you'd be getting that error, since the server can't access your feed. That's certainly something that it could support though, but you would obviously not get any push notifications for that feed.
Yeah, if you look DeepSeek v3 paper deeper, each saving on each axis is understandable. Combined, they reach some magic number people can talk about (10x!): FP8: ~1.6 to 2x faster than BF16 / FP16; MLA: cut KV cache size by 4x (I think); MTP: converges 2x to 3x faster; DualPipe: maybe ~1.2 to 1.5x faster.

If you look deeper, many of these are only applicable to training (we already do FP8 for inference, MTP is to improve training convergence, and DualPipe is to overlapping communication / compute mostly for training purpose too). The efficiency improvement on inference IMHO is overblown.

The Einstar Vega goes for $1,799 USD, which is about 2x the price of a standalone iPhone. The scans will be better than anything you can get using a mobile phone (though it's essentially just that?). Lots of videos on YT comparing the Vega and OG Einstar, especially for automobile scanning.

The downsides of the Vega I mostly didn't see mentioned on YT:

- Required an account to use

- Required WIFI to setup (don't need WIFI past that except when updating)

- Required an app to get scan files off it, but will work for your OBJ use case

Battery life has been a few scans. Do the processing later and get the scans up front.

> Besides things like the rise of humanoid robots, which I suspect is going to take most people by surprise when they are rapidly able to perform a huge number of tasks that currently require an unskilled (or even skilled) human worker (e.g., doing laundry ...

I've always said that the real test for humanoid AI is folding laundry, because it's an incredibly difficult problem. And I'm not talking about giving a machine clothing piece-by-piece flattened so it just has to fold, I'm talking about saying to a robot "There's a dryer full of clothes. Go fold it into separate piles (e.g. underwear, tops, bottoms) and don't mix the husband's clothes with the wife's". That is, something most humans in the developed world have to do a couple times a week.

I've been following some of the big advances in humanoid robot AI, but the above task still seems miles away given current tech. So is the author's quote just more unsubstantiated hype that I'm constantly bombarded with in the AI space, or have there been advancements recently in robot AI that I'm unaware of?

I'm not sure which market you're in, but companies here absolutely do reference checks. They will even reach out people you didn't list if they're a shared connection.

My standing recommendation to everyone is to do good work and get better at advocating for yourself to make sure you're either getting the experience or the comp you need to achieve your goals. If you're not getting that, switch jobs. It's much much better to switch jobs every few years if that's what you need to stay motivated than to stay, do the minimum and collect a paycheck.

DeepSeek is a subsidiary of a relatively successful Chinese quant trading firm. It was the boss' weird passion project, after he made a few billion yuan from his other passion, trading. The whole thing was funded by quant trading profits, which kind of undermines your argument. Maybe we should just let extremely smart people work on the things that catch their interest?
I really doubt there was any intention behind it at all. I bet deepseek themselves are surprised at the impact this is having, and probably regret releasing so much information into the open.
