I’ve also been working in tech for almost 30 years - 28.5 to be exact.

Work is purely transactional, I give the company the benefit of all of my accumulated skills and experience for 40 hours per week, they put money in my account and I then use that money to exchange for goods and services.

Whenever one party or the other decides that the transactional relationship is no longer beneficial, we part ways.

If I find a company where the transaction is more beneficial - pay, benefits, work life balance, etc - depending on my priorities at the time, I go work for that company. I’ve worked at 10 companies in the past almost 30 years and 6 of those have been in the past 10 years.

> Sometimes that means making dumb business decisions like sacrificing an evening to a company that doesn't care, but IMO that sort of thing is worth it now and then.

Uh yeah that won’t happen unless it benefits me in some way like I’m learning a new to me technology or finishing a project I am leading will look good on my resume.

I made an exception when I was working for a company that sent nurses to the homes of special needs kids and they wouldn’t get paid on time if the project wasn’t done - before Christmas. They would have gotten paper checks that they would have had to either pick up from their central office or get it mailed to them and when I was working for public sector clients during Covid and it helped them get their disability and unemployment checks on time.
Studying a single subject does not make it “poorly done”. That’s not how science works. A well done research experiment isn’t going to test everything known to man. They’re focused on microplastics and they’ve shown what microplastics can do in the human body. And even if other substances cause the same issue, it doesn’t negate that microplastics cause the issue.

If others have a hypothesis that “microsilt” (is that even a thing?) causes thrombosis in brain tissues, than another experiment can test that hypothesis.
Since the end of 2015 with Macri and then with A. Fernandez the statistic department is normalized and the numbers were quite good. (It's too optimistic to claim 100% accurate, but I don't remember mayor problems since 2015.)
I don't know about the US, for the first serious second languages courses in France happen sometimes at the very late primary school, or early secondary school.

But you might want to teach very simple programming concepts before that.
You end up using programming as "applied math" and "applied reading / writing".

It's okay. Not all of them will learn programming. Just like it might be usefull to call some angles A in math class, before we learn enough greek to call them omega like all Physical Engineers.

And if they get serious, yes, they will learn english.

(Now that I think of it, I'm pretty old, and I grew up during the "Computer Science for all" years, so I had some very early english and some very early LOGO classes taught the same year. And I'm pretty sure the LOGO went first. Ooooh, memories.)
Mechanically, how could this make any difference whatsoever?
> And while Western AI will be held back by civil rights and moral concerns, Chinese AI won't.

Considering that LLMs were trained on pirated content and fitted with muzzles from the beginning, I'm not sure how true this is.

The Deepseek-R1 model weights are uncensored when downloaded, but the version hosted in China is censored.

I think the unifying factor between these two countries is that the scientists wanna build the best, most useful models they can. That means uncensored, multilingual models.

At this point, I expect that LLMs are just as likely to be used in mass deportations of American citizens as they are to suppress Tibet. That is to say, very likely.
Probably not worth the added complexity, but in theory, the package could be published immediately with the existing compression and then in the background, replaced with the Zopfli-compressed version.

The RO filtration membrane is also made of plastic. I haven’t found a way to avoid microplastics even though I have my own well and have an RO system.
But, are those polar orbits more accessible from Shetland than from more equatorial locations? Is that potentially useful? Does the lack of earth assist matter for the kinds of small satellites that can be thrown by the rockets applying to use this site? (I don't know the answers, it's not a rhetorical question.)

And where else can Europe launch from (under its own control) other than French Guiana? Shetland is closer than that, if a bit shorter on cool lizards and post-launch umbrella drinks. Maybe the idea is to keep using French Guiana for full-scale Ariane launches, and Shetland for cheap launches of little things that would be too expensive to ship across the Atlantic?
Deepseek should cause Nvidia and TSMC stocks to go up, not down. I'm buying more Nvidia and TSMC today.

1. More efficient LLMs should lead to more usage, which means more AI chip demand. Jevon's Paradox.

2. To build a moat, OpenAI and American AI companies need to up their datacenter spending even more.

3. DeepSeek's breakthrough is in distilling models. You still need a ton of compute to train the foundational model to distill.

4. DeepSeek's conclusion in their paper says more compute is needed for next break through.

5. DeepSeek's model is trained on GPT4o/Sonnet outputs. Again, this reaffirms the fact that in order to take the next step, you need to continue to train better models. Better models will generate better data for next-gen models.

I think DeepSeek hurts OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Microsoft. I think DeepSeek helps TSMC/Nvidia.

As I understand it, they only deleted old threads. So, you're right, it was providing free support, but only for old versions of their software, so they didn't make any money out of that. The theory is, if people struggle with those then they might be pushed towards their newer versions (where forum threads haven't been deleted) and so they have to pay up.

That's not sound reasoning though, business-wise. Old customers are going to stick with old software. Keep them! If they're growing at all then they're going to need new seats which means you can sell them some. Maintaining the old versions (with all that free support on the forums and one part-time engineer to fix bugs) is cheap.

On the other hand, if you cut off the old customers and try to force them to retool their entire workflow to your new software then you risk driving them over to a competitor. Why would you do that? It's better to have customers on your old software than alienate them entirely.

I think with Autodesk's size it's easy to forget what they actually do: build tools for professionals in a variety of high-end niches (engineering, architecture, graphics). This is not a mega-growth industry, it's a conglomeration of lifestyle businesses. Professionals like this demand first class support and workflow stability. They absolutely will get alienated if they have to waste hundreds of engineers' hours retraining and retooling for your new product and will look at that as a prime opportunity to jump to a competitor who treats them better.
natural selection also applies to memes. memes that cause their host to fail to raise children to reproductive age will get weeded out, but it can take many generations.
Oh didn't know that. And at $10/month. So the same price as in this advertisement pretending to be a blog post.
If the company owns your software than you don't have the right to set licensing terms. If the company fights things and wins (a big if), your license terms mean nothing. If you contribute to upstream projects they could have big problems backing out your changes.

Which is an argument for better laws around what you do in your personal time.

Of course as you say, most companies don't really care about such work so long as you are not competing with them.
The question is are microplastics doing anything different in this case.

The study shows that microplastics may block. It doesn't show that micro-natural-substances may not also block.

I'd like to see more actual science, and less fear mongering.

I know how you feel: and. You are currently constantly being videoed pretty much everywhere. There’s more video of you in hours than you’ve lived most likely.

I hate the glass hole vibe, but in a way it’s just a reminder of reality. I wouldn’t be surprised if humans mostly ignore it (front of mind) and reconstitute what private space is (back of mind) — that is to say, keep doing what we’ve been doing since the launch of the iPhone.

Suites for SIMD means you write the scalar equivalent of what you'd do on a single element in a SIMD implementation.

E.g. you avoid lookup tables when you can, or only use smaller ones you know to fit in one or two SIMD registers. gcc and clang can't vevtorize it as is, but they do if you remove the brancjes than handle infinity and over/under-flow.

In the godbolt link I copied the musl expf implementation and icx was able to vectorize it, even though it uses a LUT to large for SIMD registers.

#pragma omp simd and equivalents will encourage the compiler to vectorize a specific loop and produce a warning if a loop isn't vectorized.
Yes, publishers have not proven to be particularly civic-minded in the past. I'm having a hard time picking who to root for, but it's probably slightly better to have a world of many cartels than a single one - and it gives a chance for the other retail channels to form a block too.

On a side note, France solved this particular problem by mandating a unique price for books, regardless of the retail channel, in order to protect less-commercial titles. Not exactly scalable to all sectors, but Art will not be cheapened.
Yes and no. If I'm paying $5 a month for storage, I probably don't care about saving 5% of my storage costs. If I'm paying $50,000/month in storage costs, 5% savings is a lot more worthwhile to pursue
Fortran is older but it's array manipulation maps naturally to SIMD.
In general, the information as to whether or not the pointers will alias might not even be known, right? Like we could be compiling a library that will take in some pointers from the user.

Ugh. No, we can now run a decent model through CPU. Not an expensive video card.

Just try out the standard deepseek-r1 or even the deepseek-r1:1.5B through ollama.

No need for expensive hardware anymore locally. My PC ( without Nvidia card/expensive hardware) runs the a deepseek 1.5 b query fast enough - 2 - 9 seconds until it's finished.
Correct - the P1S and other machines do not run a full Linux AFAIK.

Full disclosure, I've never been laid off.

OP sounds very bitter and - frankly - melodramatic. Getting laid off is terrible, but this person makes it sounds like they'll never heal/never be the same/all companies suck/etc. when none of those things are true. There is an implied business relationship with an employer that can end anytime, and that's expected because it's a two-way street.

I agree with the top commenter - seanc - when he says:

> Carrying around bitterness and cynicism is just bad for you. Pride in good work and pleasure in having an impact on customers and coworkers is good for you. Sometimes that means making dumb business decisions like sacrificing an evening to a company that doesn't care, but IMO that sort of thing is worth it now and then.

Finally, income diversification pays huge dividends. I had a startup job where suddenly I found myself with a $65k/year pay cut one week. I had side work from folks who were asking me for more anyways so I quit that same week on Friday. Now I employ 10 people and pull in nearly a million a year. Really makes the emotional part of having lost income that week completely meaningless in the long run.

You give no actual evidence.
That matches my experience too. If leadership even uses the word “layoff”, no matter the context, it’s coming.
You call R1 a small model? It's a 671-billion parameter model.
$50 billion can be afforded by WAY WAY more sites and companies so Nvidia will simply delivered to >10x more data centers. Or instead of shipping 100k GPUs to Meta, they will ship 100k GPUs to 10 different customers.

For Nvidia, it is great news because now finally, the concentration of GPUs at Hyperscalers will end and every Fortune company can finally get their local data center to train their AI Models.

Because if training AI models becomes more efficient and easier then the ones being that business are at risk so basically Big Tech. Nvidia isn't in that business but in the business of providing tools to train.

Fortunately, Big Tech can easily do something to prevent ANYONE for competing. They simply buy all available GPUs. Oh wait, haven't they been doing it for years? Excatly!

People really don't get what an arms race and market competition race is.

How do I prevent disruption? I simply buy all the tools the competition needs to disrupt me.

See, if Fortune 500 companies want to build large data centers but can't because all Hyperscalers buy the GPUs then eventually they will rent from cloud as otherwise they can't get the GPUs.
DeepSeek open sourced the model

HuggingFace is currently replicating DeepSeek, and others will follow. That will remove all CCP censorship in the model. DeepSeek has huge impact because it takes only $6 million to train from scratch.
> Do companies really think any laid off employee is an immediate security risk to the extent they need to lock them out as soon as they lay them off?

Yes. There are a few case (a handful across the world every decade) where a former employee has done bad things in retaliation. Yes extremely rare, but it happens.
Yes it does.

The bed levelling/tramming process is even better and gives you more information/control over things.

> You are nothing but slave labor

This is an absurd and out of touch thing to say to a crowd mostly made up of highly paid engineers.
From Wikipedia - "On 29 March 2021, Historic Environment Scotland (HES), a statutory body, refused consent for the development of the spaceport on the grounds it would impact a scheduled monument of national significance – the Chain Home radar station at Skaw."

I don't understand why anyone would want to run the regulatory risk of doing this sort of thing in the UK, which is very anti-development. The facilities also look like little more than some tarmac and a metal shed. As a Brit I'd love to speak more positively of this venture, but it feels like LARPing.

This does not show evidence to refute the claim.
For formats like deflate, decompression time doesn't generally depend on compressed size. (zstd is similar, though memory use can depend on the compression level used).

This means an optimization like this is virtually guaranteed to be a net positive on the receiving end, since you always save a bit of time/energy when downloading a smaller compressed file.
Why would a more complex zip slow down decompress? This comment seems to misunderstand how these formats work. OP is right.
For some people, the mortgage application process can be complicated.

Maybe I'm in graduate school and my salary is called a 'stipend' and I don't get any payslips, plus I have a part-time job in sales where my base salary is very low and about 75% of my income is commission, and also my girlfriend will be helping with the mortgage, but not the deposit, and she's a Ukrainian refugee and self-employed content creator.

An expert who's seen it all before would know how to navigate my situation properly.
>Most things we designed are just so fucking inefficient and borderline insane,

Are they though? We're quite good (and dare I say it: 'efficient') at feeding, housing and transporting huge populations. Almost all the inefficiencies you mentioned are preference and/or comfort based. Society is not separated from laws of physics and economics. Everything is balanced against the cost of those services - when/if costs go up, you do tend to see corresponding change, typically in efficiency increase (e.g. smaller more efficient cars as gas prices go up).

>endless streams of 2000kg+ hunk of steel, plastic and glass, 95% of them transport about 80kg of human, 95% of the time they're just parked taking space for no reason.

That's true ... kind of ... there is a cost for car ownership and use that is different in different regions. If you're in New York, you're probably not driving to work.

The human part of car ownership is freedom. It's not ultra efficient to own a car, but there is something about it that is liberating for many people of all economic statuses. Most likely, in the future, car ownership will go away for the vast majority of people, and it will be sad when it does.
A huge leap in the cost effectiveness of AI capabilities only paves the way for faster timelines to ASI. I'm not sure why that would reduce the economic value of Nvidia. Pretty sure this is a reaction in the wrong direction. Nvidia should be popping.
At that point, it's basically an ICBM: Inter-Continental Beef Missile.

Show HN: I Created ErisForge, a Python Library for Abliteration of LLMs
ErisForge is a Python library designed to modify Large Language Models (LLMs) by applying transformations to their internal layers. Named after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, ErisForge allows you to alter model behavior in a controlled manner, creating both ablated and augmented versions of LLMs that respond differently to specific types of input.

It is also quite useful to perform studies on propaganda and bias in LLMs (planning to experiment with deepseek).

Features
- Modify internal layers of LLMs to produce altered behaviors.
- Ablate or enhance model responses with the AblationDecoderLayer and AdditionDecoderLayer classes.
- Measure refusal expressions in model responses using the ExpressionRefusalScorer.
- Supports custom behavior directions for applying specific types of transformations.

That's important. I spend more awake time working/thinking about work than really else. I don't know that it's healthy, but at least I want to be proud of the outputs if I am going to spend this much time on something. I just can't really show up and mail it in, I'm just not wired that way, and suspect that a lot if us aren't.

> Layoffs were uncommon when I started working, and being a developer felt like an incredibly safe job.

I'm in the US.

I'm mid career, entered the job market 22 years ago, and have another ~22 years before I retire.

Layoffs were very common in the 1990s when I was teenager. In the US, if you think layoffs are a "new thing," you're very naive. (Remember, the author is from Germany.)

One thing I did very early in my career was learn enough about business to know that businesses, markets, and products don't last forever. Most don't even last a whole career. Sticking in a job long enough to get laid off with a severance is a good thing: You don't get money when you leave a job voluntarily.

(Granted, there are good reasons to leave before the layoff, but keep in mind that if you loose out on a severance, you've left money on the table, especially if you can get a job before the severance runs out.)
You seem to be confused about finance. There is no particular connection between a fund's risk and tax exposure, and whether it is exchange tradable or not. Some regular mutual funds are very low risk. Some ETFs are very high risk. Tax exposure is largely irrelevant for 401(k), IRA, and other tax-free retirement accounts.
