Anyone who wants freedom and to control the excesses and abuses of the people in power would support the ideals of the Constitution. Just because white people created it does not mean that non-white people may not want to also be free and protected from abuses of the powerful.

Considering how non-white people keep streaming into white countries that have benefited from these white created Constitutional limitations on power, it seems they too desire freedom and liberty even if they are being used and manipulated by the powerful in the white world to essentially break those shackles on the powerful by a kind of civilization fracking, pumping so many people into a system until it collapses and those shackles on the powerful can be removed and the powerful can once again act just like the powerful act in all the non-white countries that have not implemented the white created constitutional limitations on power.

People may not realize they are a tool of the rich and powerful to destroy the very freedoms you currently enjoy, but this has never been a white vs non-white issue even though the jealousy has been used to further the aims of the rich and powerful. It has always been a rich and powerful vs the middle class and poor, with the rich and powerful manipulating the middle and lower classes to act against their own interests and in the interests of the rich and powerful. The saddest thing is that people on the “left” and often the poor, are just useful idiots for the rich and powerful, no different than some gang leader uses and abuses people to commit more abuse and crimes to get richer and more powerful.

I’m not sure what people imagine will happen when white people, who essentially created everything we all enjoy, including freedoms from tyrannical violence and oppression, have been eradicated, but there is no indication that it will end well.

And no, I’m not white since that seems very important to you.
Go launched without any dependency management. Go people believe that anything non-trivial is either a useless abstraction, or too difficult for the average developer. So their solution is to simply not add it, and tell anyone claiming to need it that their mind has been poisoned by other languages...

Until that time when they realize everyone else was right, and they add an over simplified, bad solution to their "great" language.
You don't hear much about laptop thefts these days because phones are more valuable, more numerous, and much easier to steal.

Obviously, nobody steals things while the train is in motion. They wait until the train is about to leave the station, snatch a phone or handbag and jump out just as the door is closing. The train leaves, the thief blends in with other passenger leaving the station, and by the time news of the theft has made it from the passengers to the driver to the station staff the thief is long gone.

Of course people drive around $6,000+ cars all the time, so....
Someone with standing needs to sue, which is then moved through the court system. We would need a US v Trump.

DeepSeek proved knowledge distillation works very well and cheaply https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_distillation

But they didn’t show how to build a new frontier model cheaply.

So, you still need massive investments to build new frontier models. But the bad part, is they can be replicated cheaply

You could disagree by saying how or why you disagree, for example maybe you feel a dictatorship must have a singular dictator and not be a group of elected officials.
Using ai to generate digital artifacts is creative?

To me it seems the opposite. It requires no skill, no intuition, no mastery, and contributes nothing to the human condition.

Worse: it parasitically inserts itself where real creativity should alight in a person’s life and lead them to mastery of some domain in the real. (And inevitably, to a more profound philosophical relationship with their existence, and the loosening from what entraps them)

Not saying it is all bad, but it is certainly not on the same footing as putting time and effort into understanding poetics or painting or music and the internal rewards practices like those build into a person’a life.

Churning out digital images and generative music is not equivalent.

And it takes so much more energy and resources to get to it! My god.

Its the most joint physically and existentially wasteful thing we’ve ever involved ourselves with as a species! It is an extension of the same mind that churns out endless plastic crap for human “consumption” (read: garbage piles).

Instead of fighting so hard for something so empty why don’t you pick up a book you haven’t read? There are worlds of understanding that are lying just beyond the arrogance of “tech people” everywhere.

If I sound hostile, its because the tech bros fired the first shot. And, a famous line from a hard-learned poet (not an industrial rhyme machine): I will not go quietly into to that good night.

Not when there is a new black magic priestclass spewing blasphemy against the human spirit.

From a purely technical standpoint: what exactly productive has this thing done for us? I hear lots of fortune telling about it, but I haven’t seen results. Just more stupid memes. If its all the drug research and protein folding then millions of people probably don’t need access in order to skimp on their studies.

In theory every board is solvable if you know where everything is.
You can also build the datacenters somewhere where there is plenty of carbon free energy available. Google has just recently bought two plots in Northern Finland, near some serious grid connections, and they're not the only one with plans.

Finland can build and has been building a lot of wind power lately since it's flat and quite sparsely populated but with relatively good infrastructure. There are lot of projects in the planning pipelines just waiting for demand. Electricity prices are among the lowest in Europe already.

Not only is the amount of debt you have much lower the interest rate is typically lower than inflation, so its much easier to pay off, many don't even make extra payments as its not worth it. None in my class worked while studying, I only took the extra loan part for 1 year as I had savings (if you study you get a grant and the loan is optional if needed). And didn't have to worry about debt from medical problems either.

Military spend is less than 20% (combination of “Defense” and “Veterans Benefits and Services”). Some of the Vererans benefits and services are old age healthcare and defined benefit pension, so that can get subtracted from military spend and moved over to social security and Medicare (since it would happen anyway regardless of military spend).

Social security, Medicare, Medicaid m, and other healthcare subsidies are 21% + 14% + 13% = 47%.

Income security is another 9%, like food stamps, social security supplemental income, earned income tax credits, all stuff for lower income/wealth households.

So 60% of US federal government spend is welfare. Less than 20% is military. 13% is interest costs. And the remaining ~7% is for everything else.
super cool to see an open initiative like this—love the idea of replicating DeepSeek-R1 in a transparent way.

I do like the idea of making these reasoning techniques accessible to everyone. If they really manage to replicate the results of DeepSeek-R1, especially on a smaller budget, that’s a huge win for open-source AI.

I’m all for projects that push innovation and share the process with others, even if it’s messy.

But yeah—lots of hurdles. They might hit a wall because they don’t have DeepSeek’s original datasets.

First of all, we need to just stop talking about AGI and Superintelligence. It's a total distraction from the actual value that has already been created by AI/ML over the years and will continue to be created.

That said, you have to distinguish between "good for the field of AI, the AI industry overall, and users of AI" from "good for a couple of companies that want to be the sole provider of SOTA models and extract maximum value from everyone else to drive their own equity valuations to the moon". Deepseek is positive for the former and negative for the latter.

Nice exercise in bureaucracy.

- I don't see the problem with adding a C dependency to a node project, native modules are one of the nicest things about node.js

- Longer publishing time for huge packages (eg. typescript) is a bigger problem but I don't think it should impact a default. Just give the option to use gzip for the few outliers.

Who? anyone who is on a slow internet connection or who has a slow device can tell you they don't care. Or maybe they do but features are far more important. I guess if things are slow on a top of the line device withia fast connection they would care.

Yes and 16 years of work later we're worst off than we were 16 years ago.

They are still social-media company. And make most money from there. AI is like metaverse bets. And AI being cheaper to create might even be positive for them, if they can figure out a use case.

Could someone explain as to why DeepSeek is bad for Nvidia?

The demand for Nvidia GPUs should now go up. Now anyone can run a GPT-like model by themselves. It's a prime time for businesses to start investing and setting up on-prem infra for that. I know some have been avoiding ChatGPT due to legal concerns and sensitive data.
Have you read it, it's downright insane. "Marxist", "woke", etc. it carves out an exception for Medicare and Social Security, but that's literally it. Even things like Pell grants, food stamps, and Medicaid are up in the other because the wording here is that bad.

So, as of this order, the US just had an ~$3 the trillion drop in GDP. Much of it to research and nonprofits.

I think parents point is that NVLink no longer ships with consumer cards. Before you could buy two cards + a cable between them, and software can treat them as one card. Today you need software support for splitting between the cards, unless you go for "professional" cards or whatever they call them.

Enough for them to accumulate the work of an incredible amount of persons-hours of graphic design. Is this not ok, and instead to have a 500 watts/h TV on all day is fine?

Or having no public transportation whatsoever and move every day a 2000 kilogram vehicle with yourself inside back and forth from point A to point B? With incredible amounts of wasted energy?
>> While 192GB of ram is appealing, it's also quite expensive at $6000.

That's because it's Apple. It time to start moving to AMD systems with shared memory. My Zen 3 APU system has 64GB these days and its a mini ITX board.
Given some demand, D - more efficiency means less supply is needed to meet demand D, thus, bad for Nvidia.
Ah, that explains a lot! We actually visited Sweden last summer (with a camper van), and the first few days were still in the summer vacation. The first night was no problem, because we had reserved a place, but for the second night we only found a place at the third campground we tried. Then, once the vacation was over, the campgrounds were much less crowded (except for an influx of pensioners) - but some attractions (e.g. a historical railway) were already closed.

If that analogy is remotely accurate, it strikes me as a strictly negative value proposition for the tool.
In civil law countries verdicts should not depend on an individual judge's feefees.
Ask HN: Anyone running AI locally? Mind to share your experience?
It's pretty clear that AI is here to stay. However, as more models are being released, we can very well assume that they will collect every bit of information about us as possible. This is why I'm avoiding using AI for very sensitive information like analyzing financial statements or medical records, and I try to be mindful to never open `.env` file in an AI enabled neovim buffer in order to avoid leaking credentials.

Having said that, it would be nice to run local AI models in order to be able to use them for sensitive information, or fine tune them for my use cases without worrying of data leak.

Is anyone here on HN running models locally? What hardware do you recommend getting (I prefer to get a dedicated machine, as it can also be used as a homelab/home server, so no macbook/mac mini recommendations please)? Is it worth it in terms of costs? Would you recommend owning the hardware/renting it/or colocating your hardware in a datacenter?
Try putting it in a different context because I think you are weighing both “AI” and “household operation” the same. For the use case you mentioned (image generation) what do you think has a bigger impact on someone’s quality of life: 1) operating a home or 2) generating AI images?

I would argue most people would weigh the convenience of a house a lot higher. That doesn’t mean AI is a net negative, just that it’s important to frame the problem that focuses on what matters most to people (quality of life).

Paranoid delusions related to obsessive compulsive disorders or personality disorders stemming from post traumatic stress rarely seem to qualify insanity pleas except in episodes of law and order even though they can motivate highly irrational and self destructive behaviour.
Yeah, Discord for coding related things is far superior than anything else I've tried in the space (Slack, Teams, Skype, Mattermost, etc).

I've not actually used it in a professional setting but there are a large number of very active/thriving coding related communities (mostly open source, but not exclusively) and Discord seems to handle them well.

As a Plex and Plexamp user, I'm curious about a few features: mobile support doesn't seem to be mentioned. Is there a mobile app? Are smart playlists a feature? What about gapless playback? Can you elaborate on the 5 star system for rating tracks, albums and artists?

Overall the feature set really speaks to me, as I have a bunch of CD rips tagged using MusicBrainz Picard with a couple of deluxe and non-deluxe versions thrown in of the same album. I think I'll have to give it a try either way because you're touching on a niche Plex just doesn't seem to care about.
I guess that’s where I see a difference. If you look at a problem and say, “I definitely care about this, I’m just failing to take action,” I’ll say, “Can’t be that big a problem then…”

One question (and apologies if it was on the documentation), but is it possible to automate to download and archive series for later watching without internet? This is my number #1 usage scenario, mostly getting the fresh chapters and have them locally because they disappear from the URL after some time or I might want to just watch while travelling without internet somewhere.

Thank you.
If I can write an email from my small and cheap phone why would I buy that big mainframe? The chips to do the job become cheap. The high end chips will become a niche again for research and mil. stuff.
The author seems to assume that each daily user is running a new prompt every hour. I suspect the actual median number of images per DAU is lower than that. A user doing 20Wh roughly corresponds to heating a single meal in the microwave, it probably is not a leading cause of their carbon footprint.
i believe the article is making the case that the market has already priced in the expectation that training (but especially training which is what NVIDIA is useful for) and inference will be continually more expensive and deepseek implies that the hardware required to train and infer really good models has a lower ceiling.
Not exactly related to the article but the title.

I mean, the revealed preferences of the voters of Washington State seem to suggest it's a much higher than top 1000 issue to them. About 2% of the state's budget comes from selling CO2 emissions rights in a cap and trade scheme, approved by voters directly as an initiative, all of the revenue from which is earmarked for environmental projects. And that's ignoring the existing gas tax and revenue from other sources invested in CO2 reduction.

Obviously YMMV by jurisdiction but I think it's well above the 1000th priority for many people in the developed world. Though you're right to point out that it falls far below things like education, or health, or even recreation, all of which AI could potentially have a hand in improving.
Because the big mainframe will write a much better email?

That is the problem we have. Saying you are "concerned" is one thing - acting on it is quite another. It would mean leaving one's standard and comfort zone and facing some unpopular realities that are incompatible with the more comfortable devil-may-care attitude:

- Not flying around the world for vacations and events
- Buying and consuming less of almost everything that is not essential to life.
- No more fancy AI-generated images just for fun and useless show-offs.
- ...

The list goes on, but even acknowledging some of it does not mean acting on it.

It really isn't, unless something really majorly changed recently. Neither of those you can query for something you don't know about. Lets say you want to find the meaning of a joke related to cars, Spain, politicians and a fascist, how you'd use Wikipedia and Google to find the specific joke I'm thinking about?

If a person was displaced in 2024 due to climate induced disaster, do they care about the climate or do they care about being displaced by the disaster?

If those people hadn’t been displaced in 2024 due to climate induced disasters, what would they be doing today to prevent climate induced disasters?

> I’m pretty sure there are quite a few people concerned about climate change.

I never said there weren’t. There’s like 8 billion people on Earth. I said for most of them, climate change is not in their top 1000 concerns.
Question really is does the demand go up at current prices of units? Thus do current profit levels keep.

If the training was too expensive previously is it now cheap enough or does it need to be even cheaper? As if it weren't too expensive everyone who were going to invest did. And if it is still too expensive, well prices have to go lower or more efficiency has to be found.

I am not entirely sure if there is huge amount of unmet demand for training.
Different regions of the world would see different degrees of responsibilities regarding theft. I would consider absurd to leave unattended in a public space something valuable, considering the effort required to avoid that (that is: taking it with you).

So, yes, theft on trains for people that think they are 100% safe are a thing, but applying the same idea (to assume something is 100% safe and not be cautious) I wonder how do such people use the internet...
I'm not sure if I understood your question, so here's a quick brief on how I handle this:

If the tag (from the path or the embedded metadata) is 'Compilation' or any other string specified in the settings, the album will have no main artist. Such albums cannot be grouped by series or sth (although that would be a great idea for version 4.0).

As of today, on the web app, there is no page that lists all 'compilation' albums.

Does it answer your question?
