Neat, I love projects like these.

The next level down is to do it directly in numpy.

And then from there, write a minimal numpy work-a-like to support the model above.

You start with a working system using the most powerful abstractions. Then you iteratively remove abstractions, lowering your solution, then when you get low enough but still riding on an external abstraction, you rewrite that, but ONLY to support the layers above you.

Following the above pattern, you can bootstrap yourself to have full system understanding. This is not unlike RL+distillation that human persons do learn complex topics.
Beyond the irony of their stance, this reflects a failure of OpenAI's technical leadership—either in oversight or in designing a system that enables such behavior.

But in capitalism, we, the customers aren't going to focus on how models are trained or products are made; we only care about favourable pricing.

A key takeaway for me from this news is the clause in OpenAI's terms and conditions. I mistakenly believed that paying for OpenAI’s API granted full rights to the output, but it turns out we’re only buying specific rights (which is now another reason we're going to start exploring alternatives to OpenAI)

I assumed it was a joke.

But yeah, absurdity:10 does not mean insincere!
I'm pretty sure Middle-Eastern investors are having second thoughts on sending more money to OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, etc. And plenty of AI companies are priced out of the market. And a week ago Google priced their new models along the lines of Deepseek.

Sure, in a while demand will get back up. But by then maybe Nvidia will not be the only game in town anymore.
Just be careful that you do not get anything sold by Verizon, as these unfortunates do not allow bootloader unlocking.

Very true, but people pretend LLMs are the "google replacement". For google (or rather duckduckgo) I know exactly which keywords to type to find my answer within seconds.
If I type only keywords into the LLM (like "X algorithm in C") it often gives me a long and wide explanation first and takes super long until it reaches the code.

Granted, a lot of website have an explanation, too, but most of the time I am just not interested in it and scroll past it. I just want to see the code, I know the theory, otherwise I'd ask about it
Is it going to be like mypy or pyright? Will it include an LSP server? Pyright seems more focused on the LSP server side and doesn't seem as complete as mypy as a type checker.

Does/will GrapheneOS ship this new firmware? My Pixel 4a needed a new battery. I ordered the kit from ifixit, but was worried about possibly breaking the screen during replacement and being without a phone. So I bought a used iPhone XS to try out Apple-land. My plan was to put GrapheneOS on the Pixel 4a and decide eventually if my next phone would be a new Pixel with GrapheneOS or a new iPhone.

Since then this whole debacle has unfolded. GrapheneOS's installation instructions say that it updates the phone's firmware to the latest early in the installation process. GrapheneOS's releases page has a "2025012701" release for Pixel 4a. But the release notes don't have any mention of Pixel 4a since version 2023100300. I'm trying to figure out if GrapheneOS has actually updated their Pixel 4a image since then, and whether it would install the battery breaking firmware.
This assumes that the companies gathering the data don’t have silent ways of detecting bad actors and discarding their responses. If you’re trying to poison an AI, are you making all of your queries from the same IP? Via a VPN whose IP block is known? Are you using a tool to generate this bad data, which might have detectable word frequency patterns that can be detected with something cheap like tf-idf?

There’s a lot of incentive to figure this out. And they have so much data coming in that they can likely afford to toss out some good data to ensure that they’re tossing out all of the bad.

I feel like you confuse this with their distill models (i.e. 1.5/7/8/32/70B) being build on top of Llama & Qwen models. But those aren't really remarkable models.

Truly remarkable model is DeepSeek-R1, and it's their model, with very particular DeepSeek architecture. Of course they build on the knowledge of other labs, just like other labs build on the top of their/others knowledge. They are miles ahead of Meta in terms of the base architecture at the moment, and you can watch them iterating throughout last year to come to where they are now.
> Because that would be jumping to conclusions based purely on racial prejudices.

Not purely. There may be some prejucide but look at Nortel[1] as a famous example of a situation where technological espionage from Chinese firms wreaked havoc on a company's fortunes and technology.

I too would want to see the evidence and forensics of such a breach to believe this is more than sour grapes from OpenAI.

Brazil's technological environment is stagnant and apathetic. And it has been that way since the tragic explosion that claimed the country's space program. It seems that all of the country's technological activities have suffered the blow. It is possible that now it will finally be able to manufacture its national tier 3 AI, using the outputs of DeepSeek.

Apologies, a bad executed joke
Less of a technical reason than the fact that TSMC was willing to go farther in accommodating Apple's demand (which is right). Also, this is Morris Chang relaying, so not totally unbiased.

The implication was that Intel lacked the customer-centric mindset required for a foundry business. Unlike TSMC, which tailors its process technologies to meet customer needs, Intel was used to designing and producing its own chips and struggled to adapt to servicing external clients. By contrast, Apple valued TSMC's ability to listen and respond to specific demands, something Intel historically did not do.

Well, they did have bootstrap ROM chips that had enough firmware in them to get the Kickstart off the floppy and install it in the WCS. But I believe you're right that Kickstart in ROM wasn't until the A500/A2000 in 1987.
Show HN: Emmo - AI for Smarter Health Insights and Blood Test Analysis
Hey HN, we just launched Emmo!

Emmo is an AI-powered tool that helps you understand your blood test results and track health trends over time. We built it because most lab reports are too complex for the average person, and current tools don’t provide enough personalized, AI-driven insights.

What Emmo Does:

- Upload your bloodwork, and Emmo analyzes key biomarkers.

- Get personalized insights based on your health history.

- Track health trends over time with an interactive dashboard.

- Ask Emmo questions about your results using RAG-powered AI.

Tech Behind It:

- Next.js + TypeScript for the frontend.

- LangChain + AI-powered RAG for dynamic health analysis.

- Dockerized deployment on Coolify (self-hosted infra).

- Shadcn/UI + Tailwind CSS for a clean and fast UI.

We're still iterating and would love feedback from the HN community—especially around UX, accuracy, and AI-powered recommendations.

Would you use an AI for decoding your health? What would make this more useful for you?

Where can I learn about modern Java like you describe? I only remember Java from the days of "enterprise factoryClassFactoryFactoryClassFizzBuzz architectural cancer" and I hate the language due to that old memory, but I'm willing to try again.

We can only guess why users flag things, but in those cases I'd guess it was because they were follow-up indignation pieces with lots of inflammatory energy but little intellectually interesting information. It could also have to do with the titles being flamebait (which of course is related).

You guys do get that HN is not a site for arguing angrily about the hottest political controversies and/or divisive personalities? If so, it shouldn't be a puzzle why community members flagged those posts: that kind of thing is not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

even given that hypothetical being true; (it's misleading in it's most charitable interpretation)

A model that makes a prediction based on applying data it wasn't presented with isn't smarter. It's overfit.

Is a model smarter if it's more prone to hallucinating? Given if you point enough examples at it eventually it'll guess right?

edit: bonus point, even if you refuse to agree, it'd be an overfit example. A smarter AI would understand the societal implications to both individuals, and trust in the legal system as a whole, and refuse to profile, and make assumptions based on racial identity. You might want to claim, you're asking about probabilities, and using historical data is valid. But then you'd have to explain why data points like "the defendant is black, and black people commit more crimes" would be inadmissible in any reasonable court?

>Note that the game only had auto-save, no manual save states

Not that it fixes anything, but I am really curious when this was? At least as far back as Nov 2016 there has been manual saves via save points. And I'm pretty sure beacons have been in since pre-release.

This definitely speaks to a UI failure (as well as the quest item stuff). The UI has been completely overhauled since. But, I certainly do not blame you for having your opinion soured and not wanting to try again.

This is more a reflection of the state of online gaming discourse and youtube rambling clickbait these days. People believe what the culture tells them cool people believe, and perpetuate it to others. No Man's Sky didn't have multiplayer at launch. Now it does. That's pretty much the only indisputable improvement to the game. They've certainly managed to improve the NARRATIVE about the game, though.

EDIT: I also want to call out one particularly user-hostile thing they have done: pump up the visual quality and complexity so high that the game performs very poorly on the console generation on which it was released: the PS4/Xbox One generation. This is true even on performance mode. So if you bought the game at release, you will now suffer degraded performance if you are still using your original hardware. You don't hear too much about this because when it's mentioned the person usually gets console-shamed, e.g. "get with the times, time to upgrade you cheapskate!" It's not only low framerates and ambient pop-in; it's also extremely bad pop-in of hazardous plants and structures. And you often can't land your ship on the ground until the terrain has fully generated. This can take a minute or two sometimes. Or you could try to go harvest from one of your resource collectors and have to wait something like 10 seconds for it to finally appear in front of you. And once it did, the chances of it bugging out and having no resources inside of it are way too high.
Cook knows how to kiss up to Trump. There is a reason Apple wasn’t affected by China tariffs the first time .
Already happening within tech company policy. Mostly as a security concern. Local or controlled hosting of the model is okay in theory based on this concern, but it taints everything regarding deepseek in effect.
My question is if deepseek r1 is just a distilled o1, i wonder if you can build a fine tuned r1 through distillation without having to fine tune o1.
The fake testimonials are nearly as bad as the “music”.

What was this trained on?
Have people on HN never heard of public ChatGPT conversations data sets? They've been mentioned multiple times in past HN conversations and I thought it'd be common knowledge here by now. Pretty much all open source models have been training on them for the past 2 years, it's common practice by now. And haven't people been having conversations about "synthetic data" for a pretty long time by now? Why is all of this suddenly an issue in the context of DeepSeek? Nobody made a fuss about this before.

And just because a model trains on some ChatGPT data, doesn't mean that that data is the majority. It's just another dataset.

If we install LineageOS, should we worry about Google's firmware update? Then why bother with all these steps?
I do consulting for multiple GPU hosting companies. DeepSeek means more things can be done with less and the demand for access to GPU has only increased.

The analysts, analysts who do not code, analysts who don't run GPU clouds, are wrong.

The anals are wrong.

If we just talk about the people who voted, and who they voted for, then almost half of them voted for Trump, almost half of them voted for Harris (although a slightly lesser "half" than Trump).

If you want talk about people who didn't vote and how they would vote, young people (over 18 but under 30) are less likely to vote and participate in polling services like KnowledgePanel. But they didn't vote so whatever.

Distillation is a term of art in AI and it is fundamentally incorrect to talk about distilling human-created data. Only an AI model can be distilled.

No they aren't. Every arc problem is novel - that's why it resisted deep learning for so long (and still does to a degree).

>Something about paying for licensing and the support that comes with it makes them feel warm and fuzzy.

SRE here, the warm and fuzzy is lets them dodge any accountability. Their teams push out bad code, blame it on Java Runtime, engage Oracle and in chaos of an outage, push out real fix and claim "Oracle fixed their mistakes". When I was Windows Ops type, I had a manager that wanted to call Microsoft for every outage just so management would think we are on it, even if the problem was not Microsoft at all.

Backslaps all around for management, bonuses intact and everyone happy.

Installing Lineage by itself will drastically reduce power consumption on many devices, as vendor bloat is wiped. A net gain is possible, even with ACC 80% in place.

With a Pixel, there is less bloat, so it is less of a factor with this particular device. However, you don't get the full suite of Chrome/Maps/Gmail/Drive/Photos/etc. installed by default, and what you have not installed will not drain your battery.

In any case, one would hope that Google's safeguards are equaled by ACC.
