Seems like a cool attempt at organizing notes, snippets, etc.
You're right, it's not clever at all, the attacker just happened to find a completely zero authentication internal service. They might have even done so via an automated tool like some kind of script kiddie network scanning program.

This is the kind of dumb stuff we were doing 30 years ago: making the assumption that being physically on the network implies authentication.

There's zero excuse to have a no-auth SMTP server, or anything else for that matter.
NVDA is too invested in training and underinvested in edge inference.

Even more hilarious given their own charter:

> We will attempt to directly build safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome.

> Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity. We anticipate needing to marshal substantial resources to fulfill our mission, but will always diligently act to minimize conflicts of interest among our employees and stakeholders that could compromise broad benefit.

> We will actively cooperate with other research and policy institutions; we seek to create a global community working together to address AGI’s global challenges.
>I'm entirely against privacy violations in any way, shape or form.

>Our privacy should be respected.

Characterizing device information and IP addresses as "privacy violations" is a stretch. If you showed a history railing against this sort of stuff, agnostic of geopolitical alignment, then you get a pass, but I think it's fair to assume the converse until proven otherwise.

>In the meantime: strong encryption at every corner, please!

Irrelevant. The data collection is done by first parties. Encryption doesn't do anything.

>I admit I am concerned when I see blatant algorithmic manipulation of social platforms to favor any narrative that aligns with geopolitical objectives.

>I cannot stand when dissenting voices or opinions are shadow-banned.

What does this have to do with privacy? Again, it's fine to be against "blatant algorithmic manipulation of social platforms" or whatever, but dragging seemingly unrelated topics in an attempt to amass as big pile of greviances as possible is disingenuous.

>I also wrote about the TikTok algo a few days ago. You'll see what I think of user privacy violations (closed ecosystem + basically a keylogger in this case):

>https://semking.com/likes-lies-untold-story-tiktok-algorithm...

Where's the keylogging? I skimmed the article and the only thing I could find was a passing mention about an article that you "was advised not to publish it and I didn’t". How much keylogging could possibly going on in a short video app? Is the "keylogging" just a way to make "we measure how engaged someone is with a video" as sinister as possible?
DEEPSEEK IS NOT OPEN SOURCE, THEY JUST PUBLISHED THE WEIGHTS
Right. I think many here are enjoying the Schadenfreude against OpenAI, but that hardly makes it right. It just makes it a race to the bottom.
Not the case I’m observing.

My sister just did a home remodeling and she added must have been 50 LED recessed lights in the ceiling. There are automated LED lights in the outdoor pathways, lights hanging on the balcony rails, lights under kitchen cabinets, lights inside closets, lights inside pantries, solar powered LEDs in backyard, etc.

Her appliances also have more indicator lights than ever before.

I’m not even counting the countless LED screens such as phones, iPads, TVs.

In total, she may every well have 10x more lights than before the LED boom.

Time Square in NYC was famous for having many lights and screens. Walk around any large Asian city in 2025 and they all look like time square with countless lights and screens.

Thats said, there is a limit to lighting demand because we still need darkness to sleep. I think the upper bound for intelligence is far higher than LED lights.
"You just lack willpower". Yeah sure, like you demonstrate having any.

My adult, reasonably fit weight was about 175 - 180. I got up to 215 back in 2018. I'm now back down to 185 and getting leaner. You know what I noticed? My hunger pangs were far stronger when I was fatter.

When people ask about losing weight, I say "make friends with hunger". I'm hungry for a significant portion of the day these days. For a few years there, I wasn't hungry because I was always proactively eating, and when hunger did hit, it was intense.
See you all on lobsters...

So long HN and thanks for all the fish?
Google 4a user here. They pushed an update while I was on a ski trip in Korea - I updated an hour before getting on my bus and.. the application launcher started crashing on unlock. I couldn't open any apps.

Thankfully, I was able to get into the settings and switch to Lawnchair without a working "desktop UI", but without a second application launcher I would have been totally screwed. I checked the Play Store afterwards and saw hundreds of people with the same issue.

On Linux I can choose which "security" updates to install, and only install those. Why can't Windows and Android provide such a feature?
As users, we would have more choices, more competition, and access to cheaper AI, more freedom (if DeepSeek stays open), higher quality models.

The same with chips, if no sanctions on exports to NVIDIA, we would have access to Huawei Ascend chips (used by DeepSeek to have lower runtime costs)
I resolved this problem on my Pixel 4a by installing graphene OS. YMMV.
Publishing a white paper doesn't qualify as open source in any other context.

Google Spanner has a nice white paper but you wouldn't consider it open source, for example.
> Use AI to foster or advance deception. For example, the creation of deepfakes, chatbots, and voice clones
that appear to represent people, events, and utterances that never existed or occurred would likely be
deceptive.4

> Likewise, in many contexts it would likely be deceptive to fail to disclose that AI has been used to
create a piece of media.

Under this logic a company making pencils is illegal.
I don't think dang can do anything about it, I'm sure HN gets scraped all the time. I routinely get spam from cryptocurrency startups to (obfuscated) email addresses I have posted on HN years ago on "Who Wants to be Hired" threads, and from my commit messages on github.
I didn't say it wasn't reported, I said outlets did not mention that it is ethnic cleansing. At best they'll cite someone who they qualify as biased as suggesting it could be.
Legal writing brings in a lot of context. In this case the disproportionate is meant to denote situations where the action itself isn't adverse, e.g., giving someone money, but that its not applied evenly. Whereas adverse is an intended negative consequence. Its trying to say both are problematic. Although, I understand your interpretation -- its just not what's meant in this case. Unfortunately even arguably our most important legal document, the Constitution, isn't nearly as clear as it could be.
FYI, the 14b model fits and runs fine on a 12GB NVIDIA 3060, and is pretty capable, but still frustrating to use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42863228
I'm kind of tired of the entire narrative that "US good, everyone else bad", as if only US deserves to hold powerful technology because it will be used for "the greater good", rather than employ it in military applications, as if Anthropic didn't partner with Palantir.

And it amazes me how many people can't seem to see past the "US is good, everyone else are bad" smoke mirror.
tf are you talking about, share the data
I inferred that from the other statement:

> Since DeepSeek-V3 is worse than those US frontier models — let’s say by ~2x on the scaling curve, which I think is quite generous to DeepSeek-V3

He says that it's 2x worse. So if it has the ~same quality [1], it would imply it's 2x larger. Unless I misunderstood what he meant there, of course.

[1]: "DeepSeek produced a model close to the performance of US models" -- in his own words.

I don’t think a lot of billionaires ride the metro.
Notepad++ is the way.
Clippy (and his predecessors, he wasn't one of the first avatars for the feature) might not have been so bad, but marketing got hold of it and decided it didn't pop up often enough for them to really make a big thing of, so it was tuned up to an irritating level.

> It is unclear what the industry thinks has changed

The demographics of computer (and other device) use have changed massively since the late 90s, and the suggestion engines are much more powerful.

I still want it all to take a long walk off a short peer, but a lot of people seem happy with it bothering them.
I'm not clear what you are asking? The point seems to be that that is exactly what is happening?
See http://danluu.com/filesystem-errors/ you are damned if you do and damned if you don't
This is the same I get from a Core i5-9400 for smaller models. Is there no prosumer board that can take that much RAM? There must be a ThreadRipper that can do it, right? Why did he need EPYC?
Not to defend Seagate, but also:

> Although it’s not entirely clear if actual fraud is happening here, something has definitely gone very wrong.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the 14B, 32B, and 70B variants! I'm curious, what hardware setup are you using to run these models on your Ollama instance?
There is a tiny handful of people that developed adverse reactions to just the vaccine and it's dishonest to pretend those cases didn't happen just because dumbfucks are going to hear that story and use that as an excuse to not get the vaccine
> If all the transactions are voluntary, there is no way to punish anyone.

This is obviously untrue at face value. See: Cancel Culture, Bud Light, and Freedom Fries for examples.

Did you mean something more than what you stated here?
From my perspective it’s very convenient that all the new information and competition supports his existing priors that:

1) we need to do various forms of regulation to entrench US closed source market leaders, which happens to increase his company’s value

2) the best way towards improvement in models is not efficiency but continuing to burn ever increasing piles of money, which happens to increase his company’s value
Hi there, I'm the author. Happy to answer questions if you have any :)
Having to install a backport of a version released one and half years ago is wild.
> Windows 7
I use notepad++ in the same way without guilt, I also have a paper notebook where I write things in the same random chaos. In the past I had at a time a LG monitor that had really large bezels and I used to glue post its to it all the time as my "temporary" notes.

Most of note taking applications I tried attempt to convince all my text is important and must be stored and if possible classified and that's just not how my relationship with physical notes is.
The way the market reacted is completely illogical.

If Nvidia announced a new chip that was 10x more effective at the same price, the market would be like WOW they're going to sell so many of those!

But a software advance that achieves the same effect somehow causes the opposite reaction.
> Models from American companies at least aren’t surprising us with government driven misinformation

Is corporate misinformation so much better? Recall about Tienanmen Square might be more honest but if LLMs had been available over the past 50 years, I would expect many popular models would have cheerfully told us company towns are a great place to live, cigarettes are healthy, industrial pollution has no impact on your health, and anthropogenic climate change isn't real.

Especially after the recent behaviour of Meta, Twitter, and Amazon in open support of Trump and Republican interests, I'll be shocked if we don't start seeing that reflected in their LLMs over the next few years.
Heh.

Visit Oman instead.
Great, let us know what you think - feel free to join the Discord at our website. (I'm Sam, one of the co-founders)
Still it does not use as much electricity as the previous generation of light bulbs and she won’t be replacing them often. So from a perspective of the industry it’s not so good. The tech is better but there’s less sales / margins/ profits altogether.
Their getting started guide tells you to manually add the header to the file. How do you get it to automatically add the header like hawkeye does?
Sublime user since 2014.

I tried vim and nvim. Its just more overall effort and I'm never as productive as with Sublime. I tried zed and it doesn't work with Linux. I briefly opened vscode but haven't tried it out earnestly yet.

I think its mostly muscle memory. I'm just too used to the shortcuts, workflow etc. You can teach new tricks to an old dog; I can learn and get used to another editor, but ultimately I always ask myself -- why? I have to get shit done and unless the new thing has some other benefit that compensates for the productivity decline in the first weeks/months/years, it will always be a hard sell.
The DeepSeek revelation: The market doesn't understand AI
> By default, this downloads the main DeepSeek R1 model (which is large). If you’re interested in a specific distilled variant (e.g., 1.5B, 7B, 14B), just specify its tag

No… it downloads the 7B model by default. If you think that is large, then you better hold on to your seat when you try to download the 671B model.
It mashed the header and C++ file together, which is egregiously bad in the context of QT. This isn’t a new library, it’s been around for almost thirty years. Max token sizes have nothing to do with that.

I invite anyone to post a chat transcript showing a successful run of R1 against this prompt (and please tell me which API/service it came from so I can go use it too!)
The sensors are physically very different in the latest Sony α7, α7R (high resolution) and α7S (high sensitivity) cameras.
I liked Matt Levine’s newsletter few days ago where he hypothesized scenarios where it’s much more profitable to short your competitors, then release a much better version of some widget completely free, and then profit $$$.
Which is plausible here too, considering DeepSeek is made by a hedge fund.
Scalability but at What Cost?
I think about this article (and others that came before it) a lot, at least the guidelines given at the end

- If you are going to use a big data system for yourself, see if it is faster than your laptop.

- If you are going to build a big data system for others, see that it is faster than my laptop.

"Faster than your laptop" requires well-written implementation for the laptop, which I wonder - will that be more accessible now with LLMs available to write code, like the SIMD optimization done by DeepSeek the other day (https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/27/llamacpp-pr/).
I blame the shallow state machines and repetitive action cycles of NPCs in video games.
Sorry, not answering your question but asking one: Couldn't you add libs to Go to cover what active record and active job do ? Genuine question, as a Django guy lurking around Go for web apps.
For reasons (work is paying for it, sets me up for several positions I'm interested in) I'm knocking out a masters degree. I've had this same discussion with other students who are, like me, juggling a full-time job, house, and family with school. They don't understand how I fit in everything and take more classes than them every semester (still part time, 2 this semester and TA'ing a 3rd).

The time is there, if you're willing to use it. You have 16-18 hours every week day (depending on how much you sleep).

I wake at 6am, work out until 6:30 or 7 (depending on the day) then cleanup and head to work, where I arrive around 8am. I leave around 4:30pm and get home no later than 5:30pm (if there's an accident on the route home). So this is the largest portion of my day and eats up 11.5 hours on a bad day, but 11 normally.

That leaves me with 4.5-6.5 more hours in the evening for everything else. That's actually a lot of time if you're not wasting it. 2-3 hours with my family every night and 1-2 hours doing school work or TA'ing. And since I go to bed at midnight, that leaves me with 1.5-3.5 hours to do whatever else (more time with the family or wife most likely, or housework).

And weekends there's a glut of time. In 18 hours of waking time, I can do a 2 hour ride, 2 hours of yard and house work, and say 4 hours (max) of school work. I still have 10 hours for family, friends, or myself.
> $40K is a small investment, not a gamble. If it would fail, worst case you would only lose $3000-$6500 or so.

As someone not familiar with investment sourcing or SME financing. Could you break down the maths/accounting? How do you go from sinking 40k in a business to losing 6.5k if you turn the lights off at the end?
Don't sell your soul, is all.

But survive. This too will pass.
Of course. How else would Americans justify their superiority (and therefore valuations) if a load of foreigners for Christ's sake could just out innovate them?

They had to be cheating.
> This only looks stupid in hindsight.

If you're a tech leader and confuse Linux boxes for mainframes then I don't think it's hindsight that makes you look foolish. It's that you do not, in fact, understand what you're talking about or how to talk about it - which is your job as a tech leader.
Document about malware and additional software information
i know about malware, but not alot about malware and want to add it to my document. I wrote a document about types of malware that are computer specific but now i'm writing another one, what topics should i add? It can be any topic as long as it's related to malware/ and or software that helps with removal and protection against it. Complex topics will take longer to research though since i still have school!:)
I suspect being able to afford a large personal library is a stronger signal than the books themselves.
So do I. Thank you devs.
"Induced Demand" is often, incorrectly, talked about as a shift in the demand curve in response to increase in supply.

There is no shift. I am addressing this common misunderstanding, not debating the wording in the Wikipedia article.

"Induced Demand" is a misnomer, as the demand was always there at the given price. It is not induced, just realized. If I offer you a gold bar for $0, did I induce your demand to accept it?

Most people will always have demand for goods offered below their perceived intrinsic value.

Ultimately it's semantics around definitions, but the thinking of lay people around this concept is typically more of the shifting demand curve, not realization along the existing curve
> but ultimately has a mind of its own

Kind of. Ask a Chinese AI about Tianament Square historical military events.
I really hope that apple realizes soon there is a market for Mac Pro/Mac Studio with a RAM in the TBs for AI Workloads under $10k and a bunch of GPU cores.
Yes. Especially them.
If you didn't sexually assault your sister you're already off to a good start.
Even if she has 10 times as many (well possible if compared, say, to the 1960s), they aren't likely switched on most of the time.

People generally don't like if it is "too bright" in the room, and the extra lights in closets, pantries etc. will only be used marginally, for a few minutes a day.

It helps that LED lifetime isn't degraded by frequent on-and-off cycling.
Yes the irony is so thick in the air that it can be cut through using a swiss knife lol

I had literally come to this post to say the same. You beat me to it.

USA is going crazy over deepseek and to me , it just shows that the world is a black swan , an AI bubble.

I am not saying AI has no use. I regularly use it to create something , but its just not recommended. I am going to stop using AI , to grow my mind.

And its definitely way overpriced. People are investing so much money without seeing the returns? , and I think people are also using AI because of a sense of FOMO , I don't know , to me its funny .

I really really want to create a index fund with strictly no AI companies. Since this doesn't feel diversified enough. Like sure nvidia gave a quarter of return the last year , but I mean , at this point , it almost feels the same as that of bitcoin. The reason I don't / won't invest in bitcoin is I don't want "that" risk.

This has been a boggling year.

I have realized that the world is crazy. Truly. Trump winning from going to the point of getting shot to deepseek causing nvidia / american stock market to go down , heck even bitcoin! , its so crazy , trump launching his meme coin.
If the world is crazy. Just be the sane person around. You will stick around , that's my philosophy. I won't jump on AI wandwagon . But its still absolutely wild & horror seeing how a "sideproject" (deepseek) absolutely put american stock market in shambles.

I want more diversifaction. I am not satisfied with the current system. This feels like a bubble and I want no part in it.
i'm "likening gays and Nazis" only in the sense that they're both adjectives. i chose the example of homosexuality because

- tim cook is gay, and we're talking about Apple

- it nicely politically parallels criticizing association with SpaceX based on the alleged proclivities of Elon Musk

but the post could just as easily have been about his favorite shirt color, to reduced rhetorical but identical logical effect.

your stance only makes sense if you think "SpaceX is getting into bed with the gays" /isn't/ a ridiculous thing to say, and is acceptable because being gay is good and being a nazi isn't.
As long as entrenched Google, Meta and the Chinese Communist Party can use Open Source LLMs to kneecap upstart rivals, I agree. Once the upstarts are neutralized, the open LLMs will stop.
I went back to Sublime Text after trying VS Code for a few months.

VS Code is very nice, when it works. My main problems had to do with the extension ecosystem. It felt very chaotic: it was hard to figure out which ones to install to get the functionality I wanted. Updates to Python extensions sometimes caused instability, crashing the editor. And I found it difficult to set extension preferences: the UI tries to be slick but in practice it ends up being clunky and awkward. On top of that, there was an annoying bug on Linux, related to Electron, that prevented the Save dialog box from appearing properly, which... kind of sucks. https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/32857

Sublime is the perfect programmer's editor for dynamic languages like Python, and for general text editing. It's lightning fast. LSP is just enough to be helpful without getting in the way. Workspaces work the way I would expect. I prefer editing JSON files for preferences over navigating a complex GUI.

Best money I've ever spent on a license, and I'll happily renew just for maintenance updates, to be honest.
Similar workload for high energy physics, think CMS or ATLAS detectors at the LHC.
I think security updates are mostly BS designed to make users voluntarily give up control. Almost nobody would ever be affected by these CVEs but the ceding of control affects everyone.
PageRoast Club for instantly imrpoving your landing pager
Thibault did an excellent walkthrough of my landing page and found some points that were confusing with my game.

They actually posted on reddit and i got a review for free but I'd actually pay for it.
I remember when software would ask you on first start what your level of experience was. "Novice, Intermediate, Expert" and would tune the UI to respect that.
