This might have some political aspect, as the service and dealership networks have pushed back on the manufacturer on having 'zero-maintenance' vehicles.

Which begs the question of what are you actually saving on with an EV - the expensive part of servicing a car is what you pay for labor and facilities - I'd argue more often than not, the actual parts and consumables are less than half the price you end up paying.

Well, Visual Basic .net is based on the .net framework, can't deny that. It's a very different language from the previous non-.net Visual Basic versions, so much that some people rather argue that "Visual Basic" is the problematic part of the name, not the ".net".

Yeah, I'm baffled this is so bad. Especially in Linux. Surely moving the mouse should take precedence over everything else? Even highlighting the thing you move the mouse over shouldn't slow down the mouse cursor itself.

I recently had a problem with extreme mouse slowdowns on KDE/Plasma 6 on X11 with NVidia. I noticed the slowdown was particularly extreme over the tabs of my browser.

The fix, in case anyone else also has this problem, is to disable OpenGL flipping. I have no idea what OpenGL flipping does, but disabling it (in nvidia-settings and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) fixed the problem.

I'd love it if someone could explain why. Or why this isn't the default.
four GPUs are very convincing indeed! :D
Meta's main use of AI is in their own products, I don't think they should be affected. I would be more worried about companies that want to sell AI models and are not being efficient.
You can be an exporter of energy and at the same time be dependent on energy imports. Trade union deals can also dictate that rather than saving up and keeping capacity in hydroelectric dams, they must export energy, which then later create a shortage.
They are also priced on the idea that nothing will challenge them. If AMD, Intel, or anyone else comes out with a challenger for their top GPUs at competitive prices, that’s a problem.

I’m surprised they haven’t yet.
> Your agenda collapses and you enter reactive mode.

Where has Trump's agenda collapsed? I might have missed the press release.

And why would a curveball on AI throw off an agenda around trade, immigration and military engagement? I don't follow.

China could take the lead on AI and I don't see it would impact any of those things. Isn't DeepSeek open source? The US already has access to it, so what leverage could China possible have?

> A more cynical observer might suggest that _the timing was no coincidence_.

Do you feel the Chinese government closely controls AI research and timed this response?

Any evidence for that?

As already mentioned elsewhere, Jevon's Paradox will increase demand subsequent to improved efficiency. Yes, will not can.

So if the stock market was reflective of the economy (future or the present) then stocks should go up, instead they're going down. Why? Because the stock market is not reflective of the economy.

The stock market is essentially a reflection of societal perception. DJT which was brought up earlier is a great example, because the price of DJT has next to nothing to do with Trump's businesses and almost everything to do with how he is perceived (and remember there is no such thing as bad publicity).

Personally I think the fall will be momentary and followed shortly by a climb to recovery and beyond, but who really knows.

If you don't want to lose your money: Don't let the sensationalist financial journalists and pundits get to you, don't let big red numbers in your portfolio scare you, ignore traders (they all lose their money), don't sell your stocks unless you actually need that money for something right now, re-read your investment manifesto if you have one, and maybe buy the dip for shits and giggles if you have some spare cash laying around.

It's not just the usual herding behavior though. There's a convex response to news like this because people look at higher order effects like the growth of growth for stocks. Basically the DeepSeek story is about needing 40x fewer compute resources to run inference if their benchmarks are true. The dip doesn't mean that NVidia is now doomed, it simply means that if DeepSeek is legit, you need much less NV hardware to run the same amount of inference as before. Will the demand rise to still use up all the built hardware? Probably, but we went from a very stratospheric supply constraint to a slightly less stratospheric one, and this is reflected in the prices. Generally these moves are exaggerated initially, and it takes a bit of time for people to digest the information and the price to settle. It's an oscillating system with many feedback loops.

The economy is broken from the axioms of the monetary system. It is not specific to germany (and not to mention, germany is the economic engine of EU...).

To think, even one second, that with only the rule of supply-and-demand, the money (the real one) will flow to all households in order to provide decent living, is utopia, namely really dangerous. It is much more accute in our current world compared to a few decades ago, where production is globalized.

> doesn't seem invalidate that more compute wouldn't translate to even _higher_ capabilities?

That's how i understand it.

And since their current goal seems to be 'AGI' and their current plan for achieving it seems to be scaling LLMs (network depth wise and at inference time prompt wise), i don't see why it wouldn't hold.
Please try to at least attempt to consider nuance. Do you seriously think that would happen? What is your point here? Do you think people in favor of restricting one thing are in favor of restricting everything?

Much easier to identify the incentives of the people who just lost a lot of money who were betting on the idea that it was their money that was going to make artificial intelligence intelligent.

Everyone’s already begun trying this recipe in-house. Either it works with much less compute, or it doesn’t.

For instance, HKUST just did an experiment where small weak base models trained with DeepSeek’s method beat stronger small base models being trained with much more costly RL methods. Already this seems like it is enough to upend the low end models niche market, things like haiku and 4o-mini.

Be really skeptical why the people who should be making tons of money by realizing actually it was all a mirage and that they can now get the real stuff for even cheaper, would spend so much effort shouting about this, in order to undercut their own profitability..
The excitement isn't the capabilities of the model, it's how efficiently it was created. One of the major lessons in AI in the last couple of years was that scale mattered - you would want to throw more and more compute at a problem and that has turned into incredible share prices for Nvidia and incredible investments in data centre and energy generation. If it turns out that actually we didn't need quite such incredible scale to get these results and actually we were just missing some really quite basic efficiency optimizations then the entire investment cycle into Nvidia, data centres and energy generation is going to whipsaw in an incredible way.
The increased demand (from abroad) causes local prices to increase.

It looks like Norway has about 8.5GW of export capacity, vs about 13GW of production.

Overall, exports significantly outweigh imports, but the times Norway is importing mean lower prices in Norway. The average price for Norwegians will have increased, but the variation in price will have reduced.
> OpenAI and Anthropic, who now suddenly have to compete against a competitor that can produce the same product at (apparently) a fraction of the price.

OpenAI and Anthropic can react by adopting DeepSeek's compute enhancements and using them to build even better models. AI training is still very clearly compute-limited from their POV (they have more data than they know what to do with already, and training "reasoning"/chains-of-thought requires a lot of reinforcement learning which is especially hard) so any improvement in compute efficiency is great news no matter where it comes from.
OP here. Yes, it is, except that the only builtin flag it offers is `deterministic` - if you want to also use "directonly" you probably will need the same OR trick.

I can't imagine weight is a big factor when Tesla vehicles are not much heavier than ICE vehicles of similar size. For example the Mercedes AMG C43 is a similar weight to the Model 3 LR. Slightly lighter dry weight, but a C43 with a full tank would be about the same as a Model 3 with a full battery.

(Remember when making comparisons, curb weight excludes fuel, which is typically around ~40kg (~85lb) for a full tank.)
It was a interesting project though, the attempt to "implant" a democratic state into a culture that has brought us 1.4 billion people unable to form working states and institutions. Still failed.

But why must it fail here, when it worked in germany? Why must it fail in syria, egypt, libya, over and over?
PRC industry chains is just so far ahead. Even if west leads in compute AI, many physical applications still need hard work of transforming atoms that takes decades of capex to build up. By then PRC compute would likely be at parity or ahead. Hard to see how west catches up in the building unless close gap by jumping straight to self replicating grey goo.
I could see arguments be made in both ways here. If GPUs end up being more efficient/powerful (like today) it could induce even more demand, but also if CPU gets within ~20% of how fast you can do something with a GPU, people might start opting for something like Macs with unified memory instead of GPUs.

Today a CPU setup is still nowhere near as fast as a GPU setup (for ML/AI), but who knows how it looks like in the future.

> it is unclear that throwing more compute actually expands what is possible

Wasn't that demonstrated to be true already in the GPT1/2 days? AFAIK, LLMs became a thing very much because OpenAI "discovered" that "throwing more compute (and training data) at the problem/solution expands what is possible"
I do confirm that i explicitly tested this with my super unused facebook account, just stating that i was testing restrictions on talking about Linux, the text was: """I don't often (or ever) post anything on Facebook, but when I do, it's to check if they really, as announced on hckrnews, are restricting discussing Linux.

Moreover, in the age of LLMs every child can have an infinitely patient assistant explain them how to do things in any mainstream language. Even before LLMs, the ability to Google something was proportional to the popularity of the language. When we teach children math, we do not teach obscure boutique notation, we teach what everyone knows, even though there are alternatives that would certainly work better for teaching.
> Why not use UUIDv7 if you want time-ordered UUIDs?

It is our flavour of NIH, that said - Tou has a finer-resolution timestamp. We also didn't do our homework right and assumed the v7 UUIDs won't be accepted by Postgres because of a different "version" value.
Surprisingly many.

If the area has a no drone sign, I won't use it. If it has an active denial in the app, then it can't be used without authorization. I've only run into two of those places while at the south of Taiwan (turns out there were power plants nearby).

Yes, you have to intern enemy soldiers that enter into the neutral country in order to preserve your neutrality. Spies are not soldiers, they are spies, and you can't quite do this (especially not in practice), but you can pretty much shoot them as you like, even if they've surrendered (and since New Zealand and France weren't at war it was simply treated as ordinary criminality). They basically don't have any rights under the laws of war.

The fact that I suppose it was a partially Germany-owned pipeline probably places the attack in the same framework as interdiction of neutral shipping.

I suppose it's really a proportionality thing then. Was the destruction of the pipeline proportionate-- so I suppose there really is a case, with the arrest warrant then, being legitimate. Since there were alternative avenues-- demanding that the pipeline be cut off, proportionality is obviously doubtful.
Then again exposing weaknesses in your development processes.
This. We did discover, however, that Postgres will, in fact, swallow a UUIDv7 just fine. After having written that library :-)
Yes, people born after the fall of the USSR and the Berlin Wall, generally.
It's very lucrative for the Norweigan energy producers, because it allows them them sell electricity at much higher prices on international markets, but voters hate it because they used to be in a small closed market with an abundance of electricity (low prices), but now they're in a large european market bidding for household electricity against Brits (directly) and Germans (indirectly), causing higher prices.
In my experience, what computer scientists (in particular programming language researchers) consider to be "category theory" is very different from what mathematicians (in particular those working in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, homological/homotopical algebra, ...) consider to be the important parts of category theory.

In my very biased and unfair perspective, the "computer science perspective" on category theory is rather applying the first 50 introductory pages of a decent textbook about category theory, while for mathematicians, where category theory actually starts to become somewhat interesting is only, say, from page 150 on, when also a lot of additional mathematical concepts that actually motivate (or even necessitate) these much more complicated category theory topics have additionally become introduced.

> And fiat currency isn't purely about perception of value?

Of course not. I don't know the laws of the country you live in, but in the US, the dollar is always acceptable as the payment of a court judgement and for the payment of taxes. That's not perception of value, that's value.

All money is just IOUs, but getting an IOU from your landlord is different than getting an IOU from a stranger. You will have to pay your landlord in the future, or the landlord will send someone to physically throw you into the streets, and might be given license from the government to just take arbitrary possessions from you. An IOU from the landlord will automatically offset that.

When you get IOUs from entities you don't have a ongoing financial relationship with, you need buyers who either 1) have an ongoing relationship with or are willing and able to transact with that entity, or 2) trust that they can find someone who has a relationship with that entity who will buy the IOU.

1) is value, 2) is the perception of value. Crypto has 3), in which there is no entity issuing or accepting the currency against a real debt (such as taxes or legal liabilities, which if not paid result in men in uniform hitting you with sticks, chaining you up, and locking you in a room), and no place to dump the currency other than other speculators.

You can find people who believe in bitcoin, so bitcoin is liquid. But bitcoin support relies on a constant and enormous amount of marketing and lobbying, in the exact same way as "hawktwa." Crypto (thus far) only has value in that it can aid in criminal transactions (semi-privacy), and that enough wealthy people own it that they're now convincing weak governments to subsidize it. Dodging law enforcement and government handouts to the wealthy on one hand; maintaining preexisting legal obligations and paying taxes already owed on the other. Both fiat and crypto rely on government, but crypto is government subverting itself. Crypto only has value to the degree that governments allow or encourage lawbreaking and corruption. Crypto (as it is, not a hypothetically) is parasitic.

> Zimbabwean dollar isn't remotely like the Swiss frank

The Zim dollar is exactly like the Swiss franc, except it's harder to find people who pay Zim taxes and court judgements than people who pay Swiss taxes and court judgements. Just as hawktwa is exactly like bitcoin, except they lack the lobbyists, and the marketing is focused around a viral youtube clip. The big difference between the two classes is that you don't have to be convinced that government fiat is worth something, you know it is. The reach of crypto, outside of fraud and government graft (which is real value) is simply the reach of crypto marketing.
