They made it completely legal now, my understanding was that it used to be at least nominally against the rules.

Totally agreed that it has always sucked though.
Went looking for the source, but when following a link to podcatcher.net, Cloudflare is saying the podcatcher.net backend is “502 Bad Gateway”ing.

> I am still debating whether or not I want to make the app itself source available, like I've done for Franz and Remember. Maybe if there's interest.
Hype buyers are also Hype sellers - anything Nvidia was last week is exactly what it is this week - DeepSeek doesn't really have any impact on Nvidia sales - Some argument could be made that this can shift compute off of cloud and onto end user devices, but that really seems like a stretch given what I've seen running this locally.
> What are the advantages of this over advocating for more and stronger state rights and lower federal taxes and removal of federal agencies?

The advantage of this is chaos, which is why after backing Trump in 2016 Russia backed an earlier “Calexit” effort that this literally borrowed the label from.
What you're doing is sacrificing learning for speed.

Which is fine, if it's a conscious choice for yourself.
I always think it's a shame that these features end up getting built into ecosystem-specific build tools. Why do we need separate build systems for every language? It seems entirely possible to have build system that can do all this stuff for every language at once.

From my experience at Google I _know_ this is possible in a Megamonorepo. I have briefly fiddled with Bazel and it seems there's quite a barrier to entry, I dunno if that's just lack of experience but it didn't quite seem ready for small projects.

Maybe Nix is the solution but that has barrier to entry more at the human level - it just seems like a Way of Life that you have to dive all the way into.

Nonetheless, maybe I should try diving into one or both of those tools at some point.
More buttons please.
I don't think it is consistent company to company what is an A, B or C.
What exactly is the problem of showing that other AI companies are trying to create advantages where they don't exist? That they can do it and not price gouge nor try to create moats, and instead push forward the innovation without becoming a greedy fuck like Sam Altman?

I actually praise that offensive move, if AI companies can lost so much value from DeepSeek's open research then it's well deserved, they shouldn't be valued as much.
Ask HN: Is there an equivalent of Cursor for Vim?
Cursor now offers access to Sonnet, gemini, GPT, Deepseek for $20/mo. Is there a similar budle plugin for vim?
Earning multiples choose an arbitrary time length of 1 year.

What you're really trying to purchase is a machine that creates more money than it uses.
You need to guess at if that machine will do its job at an arbitrary point in the future, and how well it will do it. Those factors are only loosely correlated with current PE
"even a robot, who is super-good at everything, would still benefit from trading with a bunch of super-dumb humans, who suck at everything."

Yeah, just like humans trade with monkeys, and even with ants.
I don't think Microsoft is at the level of making a meme out of the marketing flagship product yet. Maybe a joke on their Twitter.
Ooh that is interesting. Also noticed this passage:

"When people measure actual end-to-end latency for games on normal computer setups, they usually find latencies in the 100ms range."

That is really surprising to me. 100ms is HUGE. On NetHack, sshing into servers the difference between 50ms and 150ms is enormous. If do my experiment and I'm not too lazy I want to check on that 100ms figure, your link points to more sources which I didn't check on right now.

I don't know if I'm blind but I can't tell when that article was written exactly. But it mentioned MacBook 2014 and Lubuntu 16.04 so maybe it's around mid 2010, 2016 possibly? (I should check properly if I do my experiments)

The author in the Wayland vs X11 used mouse flicks on the video. Just now while writing I kind of had a thought if this needs some more deep thinking: how do I accurately measure "my finger touched this button and X milliseconds later character moved". Wondering what to consider as the "finger touched this button" event in a 240fps video. Maybe I can do what the author did and map a key to a mouse instead, because maybe there's a much-easier-to-see physical movement with a mouse. But then, am I really measuring faithfully my old NetHack-like environment? Or maybe this isn't really an issue and it'll be easy to tell.

Too much for my small brain to think in the moment :) that link gave me at least some validation that iTerm2 maybe really is a bit slow, or at least was at that time. There's also bunch of terminals on that page I've never heard of.

Today iTerm2 is my daily driver, but xterm is still really fast on my Fedora Linux system I have on the side.
Yeas! I moved over to the Garmin 265 since it felt like the most pebble-like watch. But the controls aren't nearly as immediately intuitive. Pebble nailed the OS and nothing has ever matched it.
The observation that the least regulated markets are typically the most competitive ones and that large companies rarely tend to maintain their lead over long periods of time. And at least one Nobel Prize-winning economist agrees with me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdLBzfFGFQU
I think less of that and more of real risks - Nvidia legitimately has the earnings right now. The question is how sustainable that is, when most of it is coming from 5 or so customers that are both motivated and capable of taking back those 90% margins for themselves
I'm not OP, but my brain also quickly noped out of reading that page. I can appreciate the care that went into the formatting of commands and links, but it's a bit much to parse all at once. I think monospaced/preformatted text usually looks best with a different background (like the dedicated code blocks towards the end.) Also on my browser the preformatted text is decently larger than the normal paragraph text. This combined with the blue color is a bit jarring.

We live in such weird times, what the fuck does that even mean
Well, that is how US tech companies themselves regularly operate, so it should be withing the game? Selling at loss or giving out for free, until you kill the companies that are actually operating a business is something US tech is normally proud about doing.
I'm looking for a source of like ~100 UWB-only ones aiming for about 2~3 weeks of battery runtime on a pack of 2~3 AA batteries. Mostly depends on what voltage end the chips handle better: 2V low end, or 4.5V high end.

The aim is to keep track of where shared equipment is during the logistics phases of 39c3.

And, also, using the quite possibly wall-wart-piwered base station network to provide what's essentially rather precise indoor-GPS to users with sufficiently open FiRa hardware.
That's good to know, thanks.

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

That's not quite what rollback means, though.

Say that a new version of a display driver crashes my display server. With NixOS I could reboot into a previous configuration and have a working system in no time. If I have to keep track of /etc/apk/world changes myself, and boot into recovery mode or chroot to fix this manually, it takes time, effort and frustration I'd rather not have to deal with.

Stateless /var is a good idea, but I'm not sure it would address this problem.

In any case, I'll definitely keep an eye on Chimera. We need more distros that are not derivatives, and try to do something different. Wishing the team the best of luck, and hoping the project succeeds!
I'm confidently relaying my experience. But I get that I was extremely terse and overly general in my reply.

I haven't surveyed all the papers, although I have read some. And all the ones that I've seen that work okay -- do so by using a language graph or word association graph in their algorithm. Not just embeddings. Even then the results don't look good to me compared to human performance.

Why does it sound crazy that it wouldn't work well? Have you used word embeddings much? Maybe you have and have good reason to think this - I don't mean to imply otherwise. But it doesn't sound crazy to me that it wouldn't work well.

If I am wrong I would love to know it.
Occam’s razor doesn’t matter for shit when it comes to biology.

The vast majority of GIs would agree with the grandparent post, but it even goes deeper than that. Pathogenicity of common bacteria is heavily mediated through HGT and interspecies microbial signaling - meaning that there’s plenty we don’t know about even the most studied organisms when they’re in a dynamic environment with other neighbors.

In other words, we know there are multiple layers of activity taking place that we’ve barely scratched the surface on research-wise, so we have good reason to believe that simpler explanations are almost certainly reductive and wrong.
Problem is different people want different things. I for one want at least all day battery while using only about 60% of the capacity so realistically two full days battery from a single charge. I then want to be able to set a max charge limit of 80% beyond which the phone won't charge and have the phone die at 20%. Ideally, I also want the phone to be able to work off the wall meaning if the phone is plugged in to the wall, it should use power from the wall and not constantly charge and discharge the battery.
MSFTs business is not speculating on BTC, which is why they did not speculate on BTC.

Good businesses make bets that turn out to be bad all the time.

And it remains to be seen whether this bet will turn out to be bad or not.
I'm on my second and last Fitbit— both have had wretched build quality and ultimately failed on the screens. I had resigned myself to holding my nose and eventually getting an Apple Watch, but maybe I'll instead hang on for the new Pebble, whenever it arrives.

This is great news, Eric.
Scaling One Million Checkboxes to 650M checks (2024)
DeepSeek has humiliated the entire US tech sector. I wonder if they will learn from this, fire their useless middle management and product managers with sociology degrees, and actually pivot to being technology companies?
If you implement it twice, the sequence diagram tends to get burned into the brain. It’s tricky and you’ll be able to anticipate its trickiness.
> But it then talks about how exp is implemented in hardware, in a way that forces it to be a non-SIMD calculation.

The fact that exp is implemented in hardware is not the argument. The argument is that exp is a library function, compiled separately, and thus the compiler cannot inline the function and fuse it with an array-wide loop, to detect later on an opportunity to generate the SIMD instructions.

It is true however that exp is implemented in hardware in the X86 world, and to be fair, perhaps a C compiler only needs to represent that function as an intrinsic instead, to give itself a chance to later replace it either with the function call or some SIMD instruction; but I guess that the standard doesn't provide that possibility?
Inference can be more easily offloaded to other kinds of processing units, which also probably are more efficient, like TPUs.

That makes both NVDA stock and big AI infrastructure spending less compelling, as those needs are scaled down via software efficiency and chip alternatives.
I've had a similar experience, shipping new features at incredible speed, then waste a ton of time going down the wrong track trying to debug something because the LLM gave me a confidently wrong solution.
https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1ib5vf9/deepseek...

They did it by using H800 chips, not H100 or B200 or anything crazy.

This means NVIDIA may not be the only game in town.

E.g. Chinese manufacturers.
Yay. The Pebble was my favorite smart watch by a long shot.
Nah it's much better, Nvidia's toasters are close to 100% efficiency, coal furnaces are well bellow that
I don't like analog watches. I wish there was a watch like the basic casio I use but smart, but not huge and rugged like a G-Shock. If pebble releases a modern version of their watch, I might finally buy a smartwatch.
thanks for this. insightful analysis on deepseek’s costs.
Well that's kind of on you for not noticing that it was the wrong solution, isn't it?
Good exercise of your sequence priority philosophy, but I also think they all have their own right to be posted and discussed - this is exciting, and different angles and POVs can be brought to each thread. One is about Google's affairs with Pebble, one is about the community-grown Rebble, and one is about the founding team of the original Pebble itself.
US AI is only somewhat related though.

The subject is NVIDIA.
I wish you all the best... :(
Being generous, it could be there's NSFW imagery in there? I can't be arsed to dig into a mountain of scientifically named links, but you can find troves of pr0n among other things in Wikimedia if you know where to look.
By “equity” do you mean statistically worthless equity in a private company?

Most companies don’t give equity. But even if you are talking about equity in the form of RSUs in public companies. It’s just comp. I’ll take guaranteed cash comp any day. When I was getting RSUs, I had it set to immediately sell as soon as I was vested and diversified.

Employment is not an “alliance” it is a transaction, they pay me money, I give them labor
If you think so, I'm sorry for wherever you've worked.

A vs B vs C isn't some fixed thing we're assigned at birth: it's a matter of learning, investing in ourselves, having both humility and pride in our work, maintaining our boundaries and building up our coworkers.

People who have fully replaced intrinsic motivation with extrinsic motivation won't ever get to A level, because the incentives are non-linear. Actual A players keep investing and collaborating, whether they get rewarded for it now or later or never, just because it is the right thing to do.
Under deepseek R1 running on 6 Mac mini alone sure Nvidia can feel the pressure
Lol. So glad they let literal lies and propaganda going with community notes but keep something usefull. Garbage as always.
You might want to invest some of that money in anger management classes
Discounted future cashflows. If you buy an asset and every year it produces $100 profit for you it's worth more than $100. You're buying the ability to produce profits in the future not the profits its produced in the past. Those profits belong to the shareholders who have cashed that out already (through dividends or reinvestment).
Please consider making an e-ink bank. I have a Sony FES with that feature,
and it would be a dream to have a watch with a hackable band.
So what? It doesn't mean Nvidia's stock will pump forever and ever
Unlikely. Companies have doubled down on AI so expect the fall to be long and slow (think 2 years).
Right, and we've seen plenty of people who lead the "Rat Park" equivalent of human lives and yet still get addicted to opioids. There's clearly no single cause.
In my town there was a guy who was absolutely obliterating 88.5 as well as 88.3 and 88.9 broadcasting some Hispanic hip-hop with some grossly overpowered local transmitter. He overpowered the stations on the entire east side of town. It took over 6 months before it was shut down. I think the FCC penalties are so harsh because their enforcement arm is so small that they can only go after the most blatant offenders. Not that I would want to risk fate given how harsh those penalties are.
I don't think there is something close to Cursor but I'm using `claude.vim` for almost an year and it's pretty good, imo.

Is there also a copyright issue with search engines?
Will it have a decent heart rate sensor? I have a very expensive Garmin smartwatch, and the heart rate sensor is absolute shite. I mean it's pretty accurate on average during steady-state anything. But if you're doing any kind of interval training or weight lifting, the readings are often utter gibberish and completely inactionable.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.
”Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”
Not my field, but from this[1] blog post which references this[2] paper, it would seem so. Note the optimal approach are a bit different between training and inference. Also note that several of the approaches rely on batching multiple requests (prompts) in order to exploit the parallelism, so won't see the same gains if fed only a single prompt at a time.

to me, just that these lines from DeepSeek founder/CEO Liang Wenfeng gives a clue that China communist party involvement in DeepSeek-R1 is minimal or nothing. If CCP is involved in a big way, we won't see these words from CEO.

> "For many years, Chinese companies are used to others doing technological innovation, while we focused on application monetization..."

> “But in fact, this is something that has been created through the tireless efforts of generations of Western-led tech communities. It’s just because we weren’t previously involved in this process that we’ve ignored its existence.”
I'm not sure I understand. I have had an Instinct, Tactix Delta, and Tactix 7 Pro and have always been able to see the data without a phone or any network present.

I love these watches after moving from an Apple watch, primarily for two reasons:

1) the battery life - I cant stand having to charge my watch every day or so - my (current) Tactix 7 will go ~3-4 weeks depending on how much GPS I use.

2) (this may be out of date) when I would use the Strava or Run app on the Apple watch, it would not signal when it had a GPS fix, which resulted in a number of runs that had a "teleport" at the start, resulting in messed up metrics. Only a small thing, but it really frustrated me.
Counterpoint - generally larger companies should be less susceptible to the type of volatility that leads to the title, so I still think it's newsworthy. Even if you were to change the title to largest percentage single-day loss amount among 3 trillion+ companies it would still be true (might even be true amount 2+ trillion as well)
But Apple was up…indexing at its finest.
I mean you can find porn on Google and you don't have to look that hard
Yes, I think I agree that it seems unlikely that the spending they're doing can be recouped.

But it can still make sense for a state, even if it doesn't make sense for investors though.
(I worked on source control at FB for many years.)

The main argument for not overly genericizing things is that you can deliver a better user experience through domain-specific code.

For Bazel and buck2 specifically, they require a total commitment to it, which implies ongoing maintenance work. I also think the fact that they don't have open governance is a hindrance. Google's and Meta's internal monorepos make certain tradeoffs that don't quite work in a more distributed model.

Bazel is also in Java I believe, which is a bit unfortunate due to process startup times. On my machine, `time bazelisk --help` takes over 0.75 seconds to run, compared to `time go --help` which is 0.003 seconds and `time cargo --help` which is 0.02 seconds. (This doesn't apply to buck2, which is in Rust.)
You can be bullish about US AI but at the same time not believe that the industry is worth $10T+ right now.
I still keep around my pebble time (which I mostly use as a timer because I love the UX experience) and I'm surprised about how well the battery still works. Seeing devices such as the mi band 9 having a battery that lasts around 20 days, I can't help but wonder how much longer could last a new pebble
"Again, just to emphasize this point, all of the decisions DeepSeek made in the design of this model only make sense if you are constrained to the H800; if DeepSeek had access to H100s, they probably would have used a larger training cluster with much fewer optimizations specifically focused on overcoming the lack of bandwidth."

I never had one, but doing some quick googling, it looks like at least some models had an e-ink display. Certainly several commenters seemed to think it did.
I've never shared the text in the first comment, although I have a memory of seeing it done previously but not often. It's also the first time one of my articles hit the front page and I can't help but think that was part of the reason -- people were happy to read but not click. I'll consider it or perhaps do a condensed version of the article as a comment.

Curious, did you downvote because it seemed to violate the norms, or did it have a negative experience for you? Or was the negative experience seeing it violate the norms, or something else.

Thanks for the upvotes (and down votes!) and comments.
I asked it on my local Qwen 32B distilled version, and it duly obliged, very similar to the wikipedia entry.
I don't think it's fair to say NVDA is meme stock, having reported 35B revenue last quarter.
Nice initiative, but I feel the ones who can afford to run R1 locally also have the resource to download it
I'm still disappointed that the pebble core was pulled. A pebble like watch with connectivity might get me interested again.
I got a tiny bit offended by the assumption that I'd rather have an Apple Watch.

I'd think the ideal for me would instead be something in-between a Pebble and a Sensor Watch. Something hackable with more battery life, that is a watch first (and a smartphone notification screen never).
I wonder how far I could go towards that goal with the upcoming Pebble hardware and rewriting the OS kernel to sleep more.
I was laid off twice, about a year apart. Both affected me deeply, and clearly in a traumatic way. The last one was about a year ago.

My spidey-sense has been tingling for the last couple weeks, and there's a vesting cliff coming up, so I've been looking at my manager's calendar for suspicious upcoming meetings. I figure there are 8 potential firing days left (Mondays, Fridays, and regular 1:1 meetings) until that cliff, and then I can relax.

One of the things that has helped me cope is to constantly be interviewing at smaller companies. It's a lot less stressful to be laid off when you already have another offer on the table.
Or you can hire juniors, and after a couple of years have a whole team of A-players.

It's like the story about the coach who watched two runners run the same time, one with perfect form and the other a total mess. He let the total mess onto the team, and the runner with perfect form got mad, "but I ran better than he did!!!" The coach replied, "I can't help you go any faster than you are, but the total mess is going to be incredibly fast with just a little form."
Yes. Plenty of evidence.

The DeepSeek R1 model people are freaking out about, runs better with more compute because it's a chain of thoughts model.
It looks like:

- Chromium browsers (tested in Edge, Chrome, Brave) go to Pixel Watch,

- Android devices go to Pixel Watch,

- Apple devices go to Apple Watch,

- Firefox brings you to Apple Watch.

It might also be randomized, but that's what my tests got me, and only the Firefox one doesn't make humorous sense.

I think the parents post happened to everybody, and if it hasn’t it will.

The edge between being actually more productive or just “pretend productive” using large language models is something that we all haven’t completely figured out yet.
I bought a Pebble watch long after support stopped because I wanted to have something I considered a piece of technology history. Never thought it would come back and I could change the faces, update it, and make it last. This is wonderful news.
