We regularly have the same here in the UK - "let's go after £1.7b in benefits fraud" but never "lets go after the £120b in taxes that are evaded". We lost more to COVID fraud than we did to benefits fraud, but seem to have just written that off largely - it even seems to have been committed by people in our House of Lords.

I am all for doing both these things - but let's go after the biggest prize(s) first.
The reason these kind of cliques form is that experts enjoy talking to and working with other experts. I know multiple people who've been able to enter them from outside, they're not closed circles.
Great for generating favicons!
I've always wanted a service that would help you plan out how to move around Europe most efficiently in order to maximize these rules.
Is there a reason for why you wouldn't use something like Outlines or Xgrammar to force a grammar on the output?
Yep. I’ve been harping on this. DeepSeek is bullish for Nvidia.

I'm increasingly believing that the West has turned their dream of free trade for comparative advantage into a massive deindustrialization. The end result is unfolding in front of everyone and the sentiment I see, even on HN, is we can't outcompete China any more. This is sad. Really sad. And this fits exactly what Liu Cixin said in Three Body Problem: Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival, but arrogance is.

We thought we won, and we thought we could "control" what other markets do, and we thought we could focus on only the "high-value add". Now where are we?
Very nice design! Kudos. Looks like something I would use. For me personally, bank/CC sync is a dealbreaker for any personal budgeting/expense app as there is no way I have the time to enter those in manually or even download monthly CSVs and import them. (I presently use Copilot -- not related to MSFT, though I don't know how they'll survive without a rename now that MSFT has gone "all-in" with "Copilot-everything" :/ -- for this feature alone.)
The full model is 7 billion parameters, so I'm sure that's impacting the quality but as also pointed out in a different thread, apparently the maximum resolution is limited to 384x384.
Mattt here, co-creator of emcee.

Thanks! Yeah, having everything just work gives me the same goosebumps that I remember from back in the Web 2.0 days.

One of the next steps for us is to expand emcee beyond just tool use. MCP has concepts [1] for prompts and resources (files, db records, etc.), and it'd be great to support those, too. Right now, emcee creates a 1:1 correspondence between OpenAPI operations and tools, but there should be heuristics or annotations to establish that, say, `GET /prompts/{id}` manages a prompt.

I agree that advancements like DeepSeek, like transformer models before it, is just going to end up increasing demand.

It’s very shortsighted to think we’re going to need fewer chips because the algorithms got better. The system became more efficient, which causes induced demand.
Nvidia would be selling the coal furnaces in this analogy.

One nice thing about global state management (re "our custom C# Redux implementation"), is you can backtrack and replay altered input logs. So inputs with diverse latencies (eg keys with speech or vision or gestures) can be combined (silly example: click item while saying "trash"). You can react promptly to a click action, and then backtrack when 1000 ms later you find out that was instead a click+"trash" action. Or when incremental tts updates from "launch the missiles" to "lunch is mussels, in butter".
As a British millennial, I got it at school, I guess sometime in the 90s. Still have the scar
The only time npm install was on the critical path was hotfixes. It’s definitely worth considering. But I was already deep into doing people giant favors that they didn’t even notice, so I was juggling many other goals. I think the only thank you I got was from the UI lead, who had some soda straw internet connection and this and another thing I did saved him a bunch of hard to recover timeouts.
That's basically what I wrote: "it simply means that if DeepSeek is legit, you need much less NV hardware to run the same amount of inference as before."

So I still don't understand what it is that you are so strongly disagreeing with, and I also don't understand how having owned NVidia stock somehow lends credence to your argument.

We are in agreement that this won't threaten NVidia's immediate bottom line, they'll still sell everything they build, because demand will likely rise to the supply cap even with lower compute requirements. There are probably a multitude of reasons why the very large number of people who own NVidia stock have decided to de-lever on the news, and a lot of it is simple uneducated herding.

But we are fundamentally dealing with a power law here - the forward value expectations for NVidia have exponential growth baked in to the hilt, combined with some good old fashioned tulip mania, and when that exponential growth becomes just slightly less exponential, that results in fairly significant price oscillations today - even though the basic value proposition is still there. This was the gist of my comment - you disagree with this?

I wonder if someday AI can do a better job at pricing things like goods and company shares.
It's kinda refreshing that the "Legality" section is entirely concerned with power and frequencies, and not at all about the IP rights around Swift's music.
I tried runbox before mailbox.org but it didn't work for me.

They didn't support a server-side filter that copied emails from the inbox to another folder. And something was wrong with their DKIM support, but my notes don't say what.

mailbox.org has it's problems though and I'd be happy to find something better.
It probably makes more sense to save more bytes and compressor time and just switch to zstd (a bigger scoped effort, sure).
> If the company owns

That is entirely a matter of initiation. If the work initiates from the employer there is no question the work is owned by the employer. Less clear, but still very clear, is if the work occurs on employer time and/or equipment. If the work initiates from your personal mind far separated from employer guidance then its a personal project.

Yes, I am aware of some Mattel doll lawsuit where a guy created action figures on his own time outside of work and the toy making employer assumed ownership of that personal project. This is an extreme edge case though, because the employer had to prove the personal project was work residual from employment work and had to go to court and sue their employee. The motivation there is that the employer liked the employee's idea enough to want the freedom to pursue that idea as a future business interest.

This never happens in software unless an employee builds something to compete with the business interests of the employer. That is far easier to prove, malicious intent, and not the same thing.

The reason this never happens in software is that it radically opens a liability window that did not exist before. For example, consider Facebook. Facebook is not a software company, which is a company that sells software. Facebook is a media company that provides advertising and happens to write software for internal use. If Facebook were to sue their own employee to gain a new unrelated software product line then they become a software company and then become open to lawsuits, competition, and trust concerns they didn't have to concern themselves with before. If Facebook did want to assume ownership of an employee's pet project it would be far cheaper to just buy it from the employee or pay the employee to work on that idea as a job function. If the employee did not want to give their personal project to Facebook then Facebook could always fire the employee and start the idea from scratch under Facebook branding, which is also cheaper than suing their employee.
This attitude is how in an age with gigabit fiber, 4GB/s hard drive write speed, 8x4 GHz cores with simd instructions it takes 30+ seconds to bundle a handful of files of JavaScript.
It's certainly true that the charismatic have a better go of this, but after 12 years in the industry I've built up a solid list of quietly excellent engineers. Whenever I see an opportunity they could shine, I reach out to them.

Fortunately for them (and unfortunately for me), the industry seems to be fairly market efficient, and they're usually already happy at some other highly compensated position (Empirically, 1 M$/yr seems roughly to be the going rate for "Damn, I really wish I could work with that person again")
> I'm not convinced that I'm operating anywhere close to peak efficiency. There may be some huge DSP-specific shortcut that I'm overlooking - I'm certainly no expert. But the current code works well enough.

Something along the lines of taking the FM at baseband, transform to frequency domain, copy result n times and shift the coefficients to the right indices, much wider ifft to RF should work, right?
This subject has been studied in depth before, hasn't it? E.g. Shirley's mapping, which can be combined with a low-discrepancy sequence such as Hammersley.

Here is an introduction for those curious: https://towardsdatascience.com/unit-disk-uniform-sampling-91...
What if some of us don't use one of google, ms, yahoo, big emails?
As if cheap multi-modal reasoning won't completely change the nature of blue-collar labor. There isn't a single industry that won't be upturned by this stuff long-term. Most you can do is "be water" and hold onto something that won't rot away (faith for me).

Lemire and collaborators often write in C++ intrinsics, or thin platform-specific wrappers on top of them.

I count ~8 different implementations [1], which demonstrates considerable commitment :) Personally, I prefer to write once with portable intrinsics.

Google is still seeing everything, of course, just not the plebs.
Every single download, until the end of time is affected: It speeds up the servers, speeds up the updates, saves disk space on the update servers, and saves on bandwidth costs and usage.

Everyone benefits, the only cost is a ultra microscopic time on the front end, and a tiny cost on the client end, and for a very significant number of users, time and money saved. The examples of compression here...
Comparing o1 vs. R1 on math competition problems
From the reporting, it seems like the large drop has much to do with the idea that DeepSeek has revealed how much can be accomplished without many billions in infrastructure spend, allocated largely to purchasing more NVIDIA chips, due to the perception that DeepSeek has spent relatively small amounts in the training of their models.
Is this different data or different annotation
One of my earliest jobs was supposedly programming but was actually a slow descent into tech support for in house applications under the hood and I glad I took that as a hint to move elsewhere. Since then, it has always been a balance between doing what the company needs but also making sure I'm positioned to learn new technology or otherwise be growing my career in some fashion.
A bit of a strange ad-hoc solution.

First as other pointed out, one can generate the Sobol sequence or similar, but even with a random sample one can generate the random numbers deterministically.
I.e Sample r^2 ~ Uniform(0,r0^2) and angle from U(0,2*pi) and use the fixed seed...

These Janus models are small enough to self-host locally.

You can also self-host a smaller distilled DeepSeek R1 variant locally.
I don't know, I cannot accept in my head that in one part of Europe Nazis were shaving men, women and children to use their hair as industrial filling before throwing them in gas chambers by the thousands, but somewhere else Nazi general was gracious enough to allow British troops to airdrop a prosthetic leg for their pilot - they even remained friends after the war! I'm sorry but it just sounds like.....some kind of joke? Like it happened in a different reality than the one that happened in Europe at the time? Why was that general even allowed to visit the UK and not in prison? Oh that's right - because Churchil has personally advocated against prosecuting nazi generals because it would be "unsporstmanlike".

I'm sorry, I cannot enjoy this article in the spirit it was written in. I grew up next to Auschwitz and the idea of borderline friendly(sorry, "diplomatic") relationship with nazi forces makes me sick.
And there is a shortage of coal.
I guarantee monopoly is fine, but does JK Rowling really need another billion dollars off of book she wrote 30 years ago. She would be just fine if Harry Potter was public domain after a modest 25 years. Keep in mind that would only apply to the original book, if Warner Brothers makes another movie that would be under its own 25-year copyright. What we have now is this weird system where so much of our collective heritage is basically walled off.

Mega Corp doesn't like a movie they made 40 years ago, so now no one can ever watch it again?
We do this for meet and it's done wonders for the quality of products that fall under the USDA.

The FDA is technically in charge of the doing these inspections for stuff that doesn't fall under the USDA, but they are fully captured doing the D in FDA and not the F.

It'd make sense to move that responsibility out of the FDA and into the USDA to form a new food focused agency. It'd also make sense to regulate supplements, but there's a lot of monied interests that don't want more/better oversight so good luck seeing that happen.

At a minimum, consumers should be reasonably confident that what's on the label is in the package. That's not really true for supplements.
It makes sense if you consider the social cost of having children live through their parents' layoff.

Meanwhile businesses enjoy the privilege of operating in a country where contracts are enforced and people are educated. In exchange they're expected to not treat their employees like cattle - that's not a lot to ask IMHO.
MMMU is not particularly high. Janus-Pro-7B is 41.0, which is only 14 points better than random/frequent choice. I'm pretty sure, their base DeepSeek 7B LLM will get around 41.0 MMMU without access to images, this is a normal number for a roughly GPT4-level LLM base with no access to images.
Can it handle feeds that aren't available on the public internet?

I have a personal feed that I can connect to over TailScale. But I've found that most podcast clients have a server-side component, which means their backend server must be able to access the feed.

I tried adding my private feed to Podcatcher and am getting "Server Error (500)".
It feels like a lot of people who joined the workforce after 2008-2010 are experiencing their first "tough times". It's natural to respond in this manner. But there is an important caveat: one must seek out good work and deliver in order to stay employable, and have access to good opportunities. Or, they must develop a good network and essentially hop from one job to another with the exact same set of people (this is much more common than you'd think). For the former, you still need to show up and go above and beyond every once in a while, so getting excited about work is still a prerequisite.
> 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.

Checksum matters aside, wouldn't that turn the 5% bandwidth savings into an almost double bandwidth increase though?
IMHO, considering the complexity to even make it a build time option, the author made the right call.
It's still wild to me that toasters have always been $20 but extremely expensive lasers, digital chips, amps, motors, LCD screens worked their way down to $20 CD players.
Polycam outputs mesh if you want it, iirc
This is the wise, pragmatic answer indeed!

Find the Middle Path.

Neither extreme is correct.

Doing the absolute bare minimum to not get PIP'ed is corrosive to your own soul.

Going "above and beyond" when you might get laid off tomorrow, is naive and opening yourself up for exploitation.
You would need an actual 3d scanner. I've used iPhone 12 Pro and scaniverse to scan some things outside my home but it wasn't as accurate as I would like.

The more accurate you want to get the more money you will generally have to spend.
Scandinavians have small language bases, speak a Germanic language, and don’t have to learn a second non-English language, c.f. the Swiss for example.[1] Both the lack of material in their own languages plus the shared English lexicon and I guess grammar helps motivate them to become at least bilingual (in my experience not more than that for the most part).

Similar tendencies can be seen in other European areas. But it seems to be less pronounced as you move outside of the Germanic-speaking parts of Northern Europe.

You don’t have to move far away from the Germanic-speaking Northern Europe to find adults who struggle with English. Including young adults.

Now this is apparently for kids. Certainly kids younger than teenagers have amazing language acquisition abilities. But they also might have less motivation and exposure to English. Now maybe Northern Europe kids have such exposure these days that the current English-dominated programming as we all know it is a mere triviality for them. So scratch those. Not for them. I would still be surprised if there aren’t a large number of kids worldwide that localized programming would help.

I think it's worth double clicking here. Why did Google have significantly better search results for a long time?

1) There was a data flywheel effect, wherein Google was able to improve search results by analyzing the vast amount of user activity on its site.

2) There were real economies of scale in managing the cost of data centers and servers

3) Their advertising business model benefited from network effects, wherein advertisers don't want to bother giving money to a search engine with a much smaller user base. This profitability funded R&D that competitors couldn't match.

There are probably more that I'm missing, but I think the primary takeaway is that Google's scale, in and of itself, led to a better product.

Can the same be said for OpenAI? I can't think of any strong economies of scale or network effects for them, but maybe I'm missing something. Put another way, how does OpenAI's product or business model get significantly better as more people use their service?
Wouldn't a fixed seed mean you're repeating values a bunch, which would be inefficient? And how would you know when to stop generating values?
And the prediction that there is enough power to run all of those GPUs.

I've spent quite some time building my own trading systems and i came up with this tool that make it easy to create complex setups using price actions concepts.

Instead of spending hours writing hundreds of lines of pinescript, you can do more with 10x less code.

I've recorded a few demo videos to showcase some features: https://edgefound.xyz/examples
All this is Russian hybrid-warfare.[1] The previous cable-cutting ship that was seized by Finland had so much radio equipment that it generators couldn't keep up. "RUSSIA-LINKED dark fleet tanker Eagle S (IMO: 9329760), seized by Finland on December 25 for damaging an undersea cable, had transmitting and receiving devices installed that effectively allowed it to become a “spy ship” for Russia, Lloyd’s List has learnt.

The hi-tech equipment on board was abnormal for a merchant ship and consumed more power from the ship’s generator, leading to repeated blackouts, a source familiar with the vessel who provided commercial maritime services to it as recently as seven months ago."[2]

TSMC 7nm is 91MTr/mm2 and 10nm is 53MTr/mm2. That's a 1.72x increase in density while SiFive is claiming a 2x density advantage which still puts it pretty far ahead if the claim is accurate and that's without discussing the 30% IPC advantage (though final clockspeed equivalence from their claims would still put it 35% slower than the S845 at 2.8GHz). The real question is about how much more dense could A75 be if they lowered target clockspeeds.

Dylan's complaint about comparing to the S845 is mystifying ignorance as he should know better.

What other A75 SoCs are there? Exynos used it for their mid cores, but the SoC sucked. MediaTek had the Helio P65, but it was announced in late 2019 which was basically 2 years after S845 was announced at the end of 2017. There were some other smaller suppliers from China, but I have no idea who they are. S850 existed, but as I recall, it was just a better binning of the S845 announced months after the original.

S845 is the ONLY A75 design worth comparing.
I’m pretty sure the IP/experience transfer to arch64 was massive compared to starting for scratch.
Baling wire is also not as thick. 12 gauge, 10 gauge at the very most. Baling wire can be cut with those snippers you keep in your toolbox. Fence wire? Eh, better get bigger wire cutters.
Not that I know of, but they did this time - IIRC, the Biden administration feds raided one of their dairy farms & that was their motivation to vote en masse for Trump.
Yeah, they should! Not that the missile then makes a 180° turn to "return to sender" because it noticed that the target is a Chinese military base.
I see your points, but Alpine already checks most of these boxes, so for me the cost of switching outweighs any expected benefits. (I don't believe in "just trying it out" in a VM, because the real issues crop up only when daily driving.)
> next job often comes from contacts that you built up from the current job, or jobs before

I've been in this field for ~7 years and have never found this to be true, yet people parrot it all the same. I have never once received a job via reference, and only once was able to get someone else a job by reference. I feel this is only true when you're at the very senior level.
Yeah, but if you need C versions of low-level SIMD algorithms from there, copy-paste the implementation and it will probably compile as C code. That’s why I mentioned the MIT license: copy-pasting from GPL libraries may or may not work depending on the project, but the MIT license is copy-paste friendly.
Imagine if in the infancy of the NBA someone figures out how to dunk. Like woah, game is over, someone will just take the ball and dump it in the basket. Game over.
