DeepSeek's R1 also blew all the other China LLM teams out of the water, in spite of their larger training budgets and greater hardware resources (e.g. Alibaba). I suspect it's because its creators' background in a trading firm made them more willing to take calculated risks and incorporate all the innovations that made R1 such a success, rather than just copying what other teams are doing with minimal innovation.

Biden's pardoning of his son and pre-emptive pardoning of his family sets a very low bar for corruption.

It's unsatisfying right now because the inflation (or price hike robbery) is so high.
Portland's trams don't move anywhere close to 35mph as the OP mentioned. Portland's trams are quite capacity constrained due to needing to navigate the short blocks and many intersections of downtown Portland. Dedicated travel cooridors where these trams could move at closer to 35mph would allow trips _through_ downtown to become competitive which currently are often not ideal.

Pets - fine; but rejecting generalized plural responses might mean rejecting cases where people genuinely had more emotional support providers.
I don't feel very exceptional in terms of my social network among my peers and I would say probably 20-25.

How likely is this?

Just a cursory probing of deepseek yields all kinds of censoring of topics. Isn't it just as likely Chinese sponsors of this have incentivized and sponsored an undercutting of prices so that a more favorable LLM is preferred on the market?

Think about it, this is something they are willing to do with other industries.

And, if LLMs are going to be engineering accelerators as the world believes, then it wouldn't do to have your software assistants be built with a history book they didn't write. Better to dramatically subsidize your own domestic one then undercut your way to dominance.

It just so happens deepseek is the best one, but whichever was the best Chinese sponsored LLM would be the one we're supposed to use.
almost certainly (see chart) https://www.latent.space/p/reasoning-price-war (disclaimer i made it)
Yes, a minor thing but concur that it is definitely peculiar.
$5.5 million is the cost of training the base model, DeepSeek V3. I haven't seen numbers for how much extra the reinforcement learning that turned it into R1 cost.
A more generous interpretation is that they started writing this a week after the event, while it was still fresh, but didn't finish it until a month had passed. Or perhaps it was a week ago when they realized they had been ghosted. Timelines needn't be linear.

Where has he succeeded, other than enriching and empowering himself? His money seems to come from his parents and then corruption and fraud, though I don't at all know the numbers. How has Trump contributed to society?

Musk, at least, has provided value to society - which does not at all outweigh his spread of violence, hatred, criminality, and taking away freedom.
I interpreted it as the latter being the most common pattern. I'm sure it differs fairly widely though.
You raise an interesting point, and both of your points seem well-founded and have wide cache. However, I strongly believe both points are in error.

- OP elides costs of anything at all outside renting GPUs, and they purchased them, paid GPT-4 to generate training data, etc. etc.

- Non-Qwen models they trained are happy to talk about ex. Tiananmen
With $5.5M, you can buy around 150 H100s. Experts correct me if I’m wrong but it’s practically impossible to train a model like that with that measly amount.

So I doubt that figure includes all the cost of training.
That's an echo chamber.

Q: Is there a thread about DeepSeek's (apparent) progress with lots of points and lots of quality comments?

(Bonus Q: If not, why not?)
But do we know that the same techniques won't scale if trained in the huge clusters?
Incredible findings. Apparently your mom dies sometime when you are between age 30-90.
From what I've read, DeepSeek is a "side project" at a Chinese quant fund. They had the GPU capacity to spare.
CEO of Scale said Deepseek is lying and actually has a 50k GPU cluster. He said they lied in the paper because technically they aren't supposed to have them due to export laws.

I feel like this is very likely. They obvious did some great breakthroughs, but I doubt they were able to train on so much less hardware.
The cost, as expressed in the DeepSeek V3 paper, was expressed in terms of training hours based on the market rate per hour if they'd rented the 2k GPUs they used.

They always say the next generation, being more 'digitally native', will be amazing with computers. That hasn't been my experience. But if what you say is true, they are going to be great at counterintelligence.
> Why not?

I said why not. Because the remuneration system is perverse.

The vast majority of people on YouTube are not going to make any money for what they post. I don't just mean "pocket change they wouldn't have had otherwise". I mean literally 0 dollars versus YouTube easily taking in millions over the long tail.

As an example, I'm one of these such creators. I have a few videos that have been up for a long time and in that time have gathered low 100k+ views.

If those views had all occurred in one month, YouTube would pay me somewhere around $2000. But because this happened over 10 years, YouTube has always said, "eh, you know what, it's not enough to bother."

I'm sorry, but in any other case, if someone wasn't paying me $200 a year that they owed me, I'd be pissed. But I digress, that's not the issue, and that's not why I post videos to YouTube.

The issue is that this is the case for the majority of content creators on YouTube. YouTube makes a massive amount of money by exploiting people's content that they will never pay 1 red cent for. For a lot of those people, they continue on because of a misguided dream that they might one day get to be they anointed few who gets to have their "fair" share of their content.

Through the revenue sharing model, YouTube has created a perverse incentive structure that pushes content creators to do things in ways they wouldn't otherwise have done, on a promise that is likely never to occur. YouTube creator shouldn't be a job not because I think YouTube creators should find "something better to do", but because YouTube is a shit company that shouldn't be allowed to operate the way they do.

It depends a lot on what the query patterns are. If your writes are naturally spread out then yes you can get close because the 32x will be writing to 32 different parts of the database and there won't be cache blocks pingponging around. If all the writes are contending on the same parts of the same tables then you won't get 32x indeed because your queries will be waiting on each other to release locks etc.

At least that's my understanding. I've not tuned an app that runs on such a cluster.

I don't know where you get that I'm not standing by it—the quote isn't about tolerance, it's about engaging with difficult concepts and conflicts rather than dodging them. I didn't even realize your talking about tolerance was supposed to be engaging with the quote until this follow up.

I guess "toleration" and "tolerance" do share a root, but the latter is so watered down at this point that I honestly didn't even connect them, so I misunderstood your comment to be about something very different than it was.

It's even more. You also need to fund power and maintain infrastructure to run the GPUs. You need to build fast networks between the GPUs for RDMA. Ethernet is going to be too slow. Infiniband is unreliable and expensive.
USDS was one of the few orgs that was clearly doing import technology work out in the open [1] inside the federal government. Their mission was to embed into other federal agencies to provide support for making tech decisions. They published design standards, like USWDS [2] (along with 18F), and playbooks for helping orgs that had outdated views on tech. You'd often get a team with a mix of four engineers/designers, typically people that had come out of the SF tech startup world, to help fix outdated practices. Now instead of four engineers/designers you'll get 1 engineer, 1 lawyer, 1 HR professional, and a "DOGE team lead" [3].

As someone that has done work in this space, this seems objectively worse than what was going on for the past 10 or so years. Honestly, it's probably a return to the dysfunctional, lawyer run way of doing tech consulting where their sole purpose is to structure contracts to extract 100s of millions of dollars from the federal government while plopping down a pile of "enterprise" java code that doesn't work.

Ask HN: What Platform Do You Prefer for Monetization as a Developer?
Hey HN,

I’m curious about what platforms or payment systems developers prefer when it comes to monetizing their apps, projects, or digital products. There are so many options out there, and each comes with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Some examples:

AWS Billing: For developers selling SaaS or cloud solutions directly on AWS Marketplace.

PayPal: A trusted name with global reach but sometimes criticized for fees or support issues.

Stripe: A popular choice for handling subscriptions, one-time payments, and more, with lots of developer-friendly APIs.

Paddle: Handles global taxes and compliance but is more tailored for SaaS businesses.

Gumroad: Simple for creators, but maybe too limited for more complex setups.

Others like Braintree, Square, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store for specific ecosystems.

If you’re monetizing your work as a developer, what’s your go-to platform or payment system? What made you choose it over others? Are there any tools you avoid due to fees, complexity, or lack of features?

Would love to hear your experiences, especially for small-scale projects versus larger SaaS.

They do make significant profits from them, especially from poorer people who incur them. They're also a great pretense to charge even more penalty fees, trapping people in a cycle of debt that is, conveniently, very profitable.

This is the same board where people will tell you to charge $10,000 a week for cloud consulting because it's "value-based pricing", and to steadily increase the per-user costs for your dime-a-dozen CRUD web app "because people will pay it". Amazing.

Banks do it because they can, buddy. It's wealth extraction, and if you aren't the one doing the extracting, you're the one being extracted.

Half in jest, but I'd think anybody coding in Rust already has 32GB of RAM...

(Personally, upgrading my laptop to 64GB at the expense of literally everything else was almost a great decision. Almost, because I really should have splurged on RAM and display instead of going all-in on RAM. The only downside is that cleaning up open tabs once a week became a chore, taking up the whole evening.)
I am doing my PhD and occasionally my supervisor and I come across papers that don't have any meaningful results/statistics but you gotta publish somehow.

The US somehow avoids this, likely by putting state capitals and the national capital into smaller cities. Hence NYC, SF, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, etc are all big urban agglomerations, but are not the points that concentrate everything important in their respective areas.
>Isn't it just as likely Chinese sponsors of this have incentivized and sponsored an undercutting of prices so that a more favorable LLM is preferred on the market?

Since the model is open weights, it's easy to estimate the cost of serving it. If the cost was significantly higher than DeepSeek charges on their API, we'd expect other LLM hosting providers to charge significantly more for DeepSeek (since they aren't subsidised, so need to cover their costs), but that isn't the case.

This isn't possible with OpenAI because we don't know the size or architecture of their models.

Regarding censorship, most of it is done at the API level, not the model level, so running locally (or with another hosting provider) is much less expensive.
Not sure. Maybe only if the account is flagged somehow? I just registered - there's a simple form that takes a card in the end. And that was just it. I could order a server.
