Paul Krugman is an establishment hack who is always wrong, especially about inflation. The odds are that nothing will stop this inflation but at least cutting spending is a step in the right direction. It is overwhelmingly caused by government spending outrunning actual economic production.

It'd be really convenient for me, well not me but others, if we could tell our customers this. However, those of us running DBaaS do have to offer an actual no-downtime upgrade.

OK but not writing your own Cron expressions is just sad.
lol, I imagine everyone in a relationship that posts here might have run into the "listen vs problem solve" scenario...

I definitely have tried to problem solve and things would escalate because the other person wanted me to listen.

But yeah, this is HN :)
Regarding "detected in a configure script", one could use m4conf[1] which is lightweight and does the job without messy configure scripts.

“We engage in countermeasures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which frontier capabilities to include in released models, and believe . . . it is critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take US technology.”

The above OpenAI quote from the article leans heavily towards #1 and IMO not at all towards #2. The later would be an extremely charitable reading of their statement.
How far in advance would we know exactly _where_ on the Earth it will hit? If, say, New York is going to be destroyed, it makes a big difference if we know that a year in advance vs. a day.
Do you access to a computer? Maybe at a public library? Or on a university campus? You can recover your files with ADB.

There are many in the software engineering field which could not satisfy a request of this nature, for any reasonable form of "asked them to".

ClickHouse does not allow external connections by default.

If someone wants to configure an unauthenticated access from the Internet, they have to do the following extra steps:

- enable listening to the wildcard address;

- remove IP filtering for the default user;

- set up a no-password authentication;

It is possible to ignore and turn off all guardrails that the system has by default, but it needs extra efforts. However, it's possible that someone copy-pasted a wrong configuration file from somewhere without knowing what is inside, or do something like - listen to localhost, but expose ports from Docker.

A use case for direct database access exists, and is acceptable, assuming you set up a readonly user, grant access to specific tables, limit queries by complexity, and limit total usage by quotas. This is demonstrated by the following public services:

https://play.clickhouse.com/

https://adsb.exposed/

https://reversedns.space/

In this way, ClickHouse can be used to implement public data APIs (which is probably not what DeepSeek wanted).

ClickHouse has a wide range of security and access control restrictions: authentication methods with SSL certificates; SSH keys; even simple password-based auth allows bcrypt and short-living credentials; integration with LDAP and Kerberos; every authentication method can be limited on a network level; full Role-Based Access Control; fine-grained restrictions on query complexity and resource consumption, user quotas.

But still, according to Shodan, there are 33,000 misconfigured ClickHouse servers on the Internet: https://www.shodan.io/search?query=clickhouse This can be attributed to a high popularity of ClickHouse (it is the most widely used analytic DBMS).

When you use ClickHouse Cloud, which is a commercial cloud service based on the open-source ClickHouse database (https://clickhouse.com/cloud), it ensures the needed security measures, improving strong defaults even more: TLS, stong credentials, IP filtering; plus it allows private link, data encryption with customer keys, etc.
Hey dude. This is probably the most vile thing I've read in a while. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I was doing a big job for some hippies, and they fed me lunch every day. And even though I thought it was bullshit, I was polite and ate their gluten free, sugar free, organic, free range, etc, etc food. My entire life I hated eating, but I quickly realized that I really enjoyed eating with them, and I felt really good afterwards.

And since then I've done a lot of experimenting and reading other peoples thoughts, and reached the conclusion that simple carbohydrates are fucking terrible for you, for multiple reasons. The biggest is that it causes an insulin spike. If you're then physically active, you'll burn off the sugar you just ate, but your insulin levels stay high, so you'll never start burning your body fat. You just get hungry and eat more sugar.
VR has always sorta been a hedge against missing the next platform the way many companies missed out on the smart phone or social networking - it was never obvious it was going anywhere really.

You are 100% right of course. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. The money comes from our government spending on credit. There are lots of people on here drinking the Kool-Aid on this topic. There's no easy solution to the problem, and it is very hard to get the indoctrinated to understand where the problem truly lies.
Wow those are pretty chunky improvements over vanilla
This seems like an opportunity to plug the good work https://www.clojuriststogether.org/ do. They do good work. Plug concludes.

Clojure - like many languages - seems to be benefiting a lot from the work the IDE people have been putting in to good infrastructure. A lot of the magic is being moved out of Emacs towards tools like Treesitter and the LSP server which are more platform independent. Not a huge amount to do with Clojure per say, but the Clojure ecosystem is benefiting a lot from it. The Emacs specific stuff is becoming very Emacs-specific (like paraedit, bless its socks).

As a Canadian, I don't particularly care what the Chinese government knows about me. They represent zero threat to me, and honestly I'm rational enough to know that they don't particularly care what I'm up to.

US companies, on the other hand...did you miss where all of the tech oligarchs lined up in an obsequious little row to proselytize before the newly anointed king? When they all went on a spree in advance to show their deference to his "vision", including simply pathetic podcast appearances?

China has a lot of problems, but compared to what the United States has become, it looks positively harmless in comparison. Anyone who doesn't think the cabal of criminal administrative officials aren't going to completely annihilate your rights -- always with some "emergency" reason -- is blissfully detached from reality. It is currently the most dangerous nation on this planet.
boy that is hard to read

twitter really has gone downhill
A lot of people think off-topic puns and jokes are annoying, and HN has a much higher concentration of such people than most of the internet.

That's part of why discussion on HN tends to be much higher-signal than Facebook or Reddit.
Parent is (I assume) talking about the entire budget to get to DeepSpeek V3, not the cost of the final training run.

This includes salary for ~130 ML people + rest of the staff, company is 2 years old.
They have trained DeepSpeek V1, V2, R1, R1-Zero before finally training V3, as well as a bunch of other less known models.

The final run of V3 is ~6M$ (at least officially...[1]), but that does not factor the cost of all the other failed runs, ablations etc. that always happen when developing a new model.

You also can't get clusters of this size with a 3 weeks commitment just to do your training and then stop paying for it, there is always a multi-month (if not 1 year) commitment because of demand/supply. Or, if it's a private cluster they own it's already a $200M-300M+ investment just for the advertised 2000 GPUs for that run.

I don't know if it really is $1B, but it certainly isn't below $100M.

[1] I personally believe they used more GPUs than stated, but simply can't be forthcoming about this for obvious reason. I have of course not proof of that, my belief is just based on scaling laws we have seen so far + where the incentives are for stating the # of GPUs. But even if the 2k GPUs figure is accurate, it's still $100M+
That's awesome. I'd like to follow up on your progress. Is there a Twitter account, mailing list, or wishlist I can follow/join?
How much of Meta's revenue does Apple have control over? This is just the price of insurance to make sure it doesn't happen again.
It's a bit of both, observing has uncertainty in a lot of places, if you are on the ground you get atmospheric effects, imprecision of timing, imprecision of optics, etc etc. You are also observing an object where you dont know how far away it is. That distance has to be solved by basically doing a sort of triangulation, which requires either the observer or the object to move enough.
So if you observe over a short time (hours for example), you can see it is moving, but it is hard to tell distance.

Once you have an estimated orbit, if it has any interactions with planets (IE: flyby of Earth), small differences in positions during the close encounter make LARGE differences decades later. Add to this the effects of photons from the sun pushing on the smaller asteroids or dust, or out-gassing /dust from comets cause these objects to slightly drift from just the basic gravitational forces. Generally inner solar system asteroids (inside mars) are very chaotic over hundreds of years, though typically predictable less than a century.

Note that I am not an expert on impact calculations, I just know a bit about and and can do back of the envelope ones.
There are a number of ways to get to the ~1%, the orbit fits have uncertainties on them and those can be propagated forward in time. However there are all sorts of complexities with doing that, and often the easiest method is to sample the uncertainty region a few hundred thousand times (Monte-carlo), and propagate those and see what hits.
Not everyone knows how to use Cron, the comment is a good tip for those that don't. The target audience for a solution like this might be less technical than the average Github user.
Can someone help me understand what I’m looking at here? This repository allows me to train a specific model on a specific data set, and finally test the result? Is that correct?

I am interested in how large and small language models are trained, but as someone who has little knowledge in this world I find it hard to cut through the noise to find useful information.

Really I’m looking for an open source project that helps a person gain this knowledge. Something like a docker container that encapsulates all the dependencies. When training it will use any available gpu or tell me why my gpu can’t be used and then fall back to cpu. Then had a simple interface to test the training results. Finally you can easily pull back the curtain to understand the process in better detail and maybe even adapt it to different model to experiment.

Does something like that exist?
There's a sliding scale. On one end is "Include the CEO's paycheck"; on the other is "include nothing except the price tag on the final, successful training run".

Neither end is terribly useful. Unfortunately, the $5.5M number is for the latter.
That link should be a bit more prominent, until the community has upgraded. Right now I think it's only at the very end of https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/legacy-overview and I for sure was not aware of it, cursing the new docs layout when maintaining existing code.
Actually, most "most popular software libraries" have either translated docs, or guides in a non-English language.
Furthermore, modern browsers can translate text on the fly. Some (like Yandex.Browser [1] not_an_ad) can even translate videos on the fly.

> These benchmark numbers are an indication that the base model already had a large number of reasoning/LLM tokens in the pre-training set.

But we already know that is the case: the Deepseek v3 paper says it was posttrained partly with an internal version of R1:

> Reasoning Data. For reasoning-related datasets, including those focused on mathematics,
code competition problems, and logic puzzles, we generate the data by leveraging an internal
DeepSeek-R1 model. Specifically, while the R1-generated data demonstrates strong accuracy, it
suffers from issues such as overthinking, poor formatting, and excessive length. Our objective is
to balance the high accuracy of R1-generated reasoning data and the clarity and conciseness of
regularly formatted reasoning data.

And deepseekmath did a repeated cycle of this kind of thing mixing in 10% of old previously seen data with new generated data from last gen in a continuous bootstrap.

Sorry for not making it clear, you need to go to the web store https://store.loshadki.app and use the discount code to get a free license, so you will get a software license for free that will allow you to use it forever with your account/email.

Could also be that open-sourcing something is probably lots of work.

I've seen internal projects that were open-sourced and there was a ton of time and effort involved to get across the finish line.

Probably anything involving more than one person make exponentially more work, let alone licensing/etc

It sorta sounds like their AI would've done it better, yeah...
This sounds like a really good story. Is there a postmortem written up somewhere?
Mercedes dealers in particular are thieves. Mercedes-Benz of Boston tried to bait and switch me replacing an AC compressor on my 1999 E300D Turbo. Initial quote was $1750, after they had the car a couple days they made up some bullshit about the condenser being bad and said therefore it would be $5000. I told them to go fuck themselves, bought the necessary refrigerant handling equipment, and did it myself. This was 5 years ago. Still nothing wrong with the condenser.

IME it's 100% of the time better to buy whatever tools you need and do the necessary research to DIY than to take a car to a mechanic. And certainly never a dealership.

EDIT: Almost forgot. When I checked the pressure in the AC system after getting it home before working on it, it was super high. What I suspect they did (because I told them I wasn't going to pay their usurious rate) was just cram a bunch of refrigerant into the system from their recovery tank in the hopes it would blow seals and screw me over. So, yeah, avoid MB of Boston in particular.

Nah. Theranos was a fraud that survived for 15 years (fewer if you count their active period). "Capitalism" killed it off when the fraud became public and investors stopped giving them money.

Capitalism isn't magic, humans can still be fooled. The nice thing about capitalism is that I personally didn't have to give them money. Caveat investor.
Just to throw my anecdote in: I used to work at the mypy shop - our client code base was on the order of millions of lines of very thorny Python code. This was several years ago, but to the best of my recollection, even at that scale, mypy was nowhere near that slow.

Like I said, this was many years ago - mypy might've gotten slower, but computers have also gotten faster, so who knows. My hunch is still that you have an issue with misconfiguration, or perhaps you're hitting a bug.
I would consider it table stakes for an intermediate level engineer at a big company (which would have well defined processes for doing this safely) or a senior at any other company (on the assumption some of that infra has to be set up from scratch). If 10 years of experience hadn’t taught me this yet, I would personally be concerned how I’m spending my energy. I am roughly at the 10y mark, and I would estimate I have been competent enough to build a public facing application without embarrassing public access issues on my own for at least 4 years. Even before that, I would have known what to be scared of / seek help on for at least 7 years. I guess I could be more unusual than I think, but the idea that at 10 years anyone would be ok not knowing how to approach such a routine task is baffling to me.
Gotcha. I think the PS4/Xbox One performance is partially a result of them not caring about Gen 8 customers anymore. Maybe their procedural generation tech doesn't easily allow configurable quality, or they won't/can't maintain separate asset libraries between the generations. So they favor Gen 9 even when it makes Gen 8 suffer.
AGI is a very different level of problem to solve than ray tracing.

Photorealism is basically a straight shot, the algorithms for light are well understood, we just haven't had the hardware to do it in realtime, but the hardware was relatively easy to iterate on.

AGI is not the same. No, LLMs are not going to turn into an "Artificial General Intelligence" just because we keep improving them - LLMs inherently don't have the capability of thought, interest, reason, motivation, or anything we ascribe to human intelligence. And throwing faster hardware at the problem isn't going to solve that.

Sure, people are going to keep trying but I doubt anyone alive today will be seeing a true artificial general intelligence. In 1000 years? That's quite the goalpost.
I wish there were a stock ticker for OpenAI just to see what wall street’s take on all this is. One can imagine based on Nvidia, but I imagine OpenAI private valuation is hit much harder. Still, I think they’ll be able to justify it by building amazing products. Just interesting to watch what bankers think.
Reliably serving planet-scale inference is a whole different ballgame.
Though I also think it’s extremely bad for OpenAI’s valuation.

If you give me $500B to train the best model in the world, and then a couple people at a hedge fund in China can use my API to train a model that’s almost equal for a tiny fraction of what I paid, then it appears to be outrageously foolish to build new frontier models.

The only financial move that makes sense is to wait for someone else to burn hundreds of billions building a better model, and then clone it. OpenAI primarily exists to do one of the most foolish things you can possibly do with money. Seems like a really bad deal for investors.
62 billion dollars a year in profit with revenue still growing....just nuts.

Sure, but is competition an ideological construct? Even the Soviet Union had competition between companies and institutions – without any free market.
I’m not sure about a reference, other than their docs [0]. Basically, you’d modify the config to point to the new servers, issue PAUSE to PgBouncer to gracefully drain connections, then RELOAD to pick up the new config, then RESUME to accept new traffic.

This would result in client errors while paused, though, so perhaps not quite the same. To me, a few seconds of downtime is fine, but everyone has their own opinions. EDIT: you could of course also modify your client code (if it doesn’t already) to gracefully retry connections, which would effectively make this zero downtime.

ProxySQL (which I think now supports Postgres) has a global delay option where you can effectively make clients think that the query is just taking a long time; meanwhile, you can do the same sequence as outlined.

If you had HA Bouncers (which hopefully you would), you could cheat a little as you eluded to in the post, and have one still allow read queries to hit the old DB while cutting over writes on the other one, so the impact wouldn’t be as large.

As I see it, what most big players are hunting is new data. Gaining trust is important, being the new thing big thing is also good. Being seen as "open" (not open source) makes other think you have nothing to hide and good intentions.

Not old and not yelling at anything. I don’t have any qualms about installing tools that depend on Node, as I use VSCode and therefore Pyright all the time.

That said, Node is awful as a backend language, and speed has nothing to do with it. I will write Go, Python, Rust, or anything else because of how those languages have been designed. JS doesn’t belong in my backend—YMMV.
