Well I think DeepSeek releasing it open source and on an MIT license will rally the big talent. The open sourcing of a new technology has always driven progress in the past.

The last paragraph too is where OpenAi seems to be focusing their efforts..

> we engage in countermeasures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which frontier capabilities to include in released models ..

> ... 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.

So they'll go for getting DeepSeek banned like TikTok was now that a precedent has been set ?

The brief summary is that inflation is down, but "most Argentines are not yet better off than they were a year ago". This is in perfect accordance with my on-the-ground observations. Things aren't better, but at least they're not worse, or if they're worse, it's by very little.

This may not sound very important (after all, only 0.5% of people live in Argentina, and we don't export much) but Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have expressed admiration for Milei's efforts, and they're being put in charge of reforming the US Federal Government, so it may be very important information about what's about to happen in the world's second-biggest economy.
It’s insane bc I don’t like it :)

Like I said, it’s all personal preference.

I mainly code in neovim, I do a lot of work ssh-ing into other machines (sometimes with multiple hops.)

I live in the terminal and sometimes cat very very large log files and would like an experience that is terminal centric.

It very much surprised me to learn how many devs there are nowadays who aren’t terminal centric (outside of windows land)

Also I use my text editor to edit database records (via a plugin) as well. Editing DB rows in vim is the kind of crazy I like.
I am simply pointing out a risk. Everything you do to make things better can be corrupted, and you need to take enormous steps in advance to counteract that.

I know that we like to circle jerk about "written in blood" around here but your take is asinine.

We don't regulate freight barges and personal watercraft the same way we regulate cruise ships and ferries. There's a pretty clear demarcation line between commercial passenger service and noncommercial non-passenger in every industry,

Why is aviation not similar? Oh, that's right, because decades ago the FAA and Congress brought the entire industry (with a tiny carve-out for experimental) under the same regulatory scheme and damn near killed the GA industry.

Furthermore, the whole Boeing fiasco is a great illustration of how futile the approach that you people peddle is. Boeing and their army of lawyers and carousel of lobbyists get to skirt or play right up to the letter of the the regulation while the little guy has to bend over and take it full force. So what even is the point of having the same set of rules if the big guys are the ones subject to less rules in practice?

I'm not saying repeal it all or exempt GA but the current approach is clearly the worst of both worlds and ought to be changed.
Doesn't really seem like a Paradox.

There may only be 10 people willing to pay $100 for something, but 1000 willing to pay $10 for it, so lower price results in more revenue.
Not only do OpenAI and other steal data, they also spam the web with requests and crawl websites over and over.

I think this is mainly a problem with dating apps - I have seen what you're talking about myself when the pair meets "naturally" or are set up by mutual friends.

People are far more forgiving in real life than they are online.

But part of the problem here is that the dating apps are like junk food: easy, satisfying, but ultimately unhealthy. And unfortunately because of this ease a lot of people reach for them instead of doing the more difficult leg work.

But I can also see it from the female perspective: If almost everyone I swipe right on matches with me - I'd start becoming WAY more selective about who I swipe right on. This leads to less matches but now the guys are also getting even less matches but they can't so easily fix it. The only remedy for the males is to start swiping right on anything that you're not put off by. And again, the men doing this exacerbates the problem - a copulatory ouroboros if you will.
That is an early candidate for Freudian Slip of the Year.
> 1. AI Spam. I categorized the inbound we got the other day from a job post. Out of 172 daily applicants, we got 22 that looked reasonably like a person, and 150 that were primarily AI generated messages. Which are pretty easy to spot because they're 500 words of tech jargon and rehashing the job description.

This is what it takes to get through the filters/recruiter search. In majority of the organizations the first line of defense is the recruiter who has a limited knowledge of the job responsibilities, technologies involved, etc. They employ various search techniques in their ATS (lately enhanced by the various LLM tools) and whatever resumes come up in the keyword search will end up in the pile presented to the hiring manager. This is especially true now when volume of resumes is in hundreds, you can't just go through all of them manually. So the only way to get through the first stage is to create resumes to fit the LLM/keyword search...

EDIT: I've been seeing more and more of these disclaimers when I submit an application:
"We use Machine Learning for an initial comparison of resumes against the education, experience, and skills requirements of the job description." Check here to out out of this analysis.

So candidates tweak resumes to match the requirements (likely) with the same LLM that will be checking the resume match to the same requirements. Why is this surprising?
"Kernel vs. User-Level Networking: Don't Throw Out the Stack with the Interrupts" (2022)
https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3626780 :

> Abstract: This paper reviews the performance characteristics of network stack processing for communication-heavy server applications. Recent literature often describes kernel-bypass and user-level networking as a silver bullet to attain substantial performance improvements, but without providing a comprehensive understanding of how exactly these improvements come about. We identify and quantify the direct and indirect costs of asynchronous hardware interrupt requests (IRQ) as a major source of overhead. While IRQs and their handling have a substantial impact on the effectiveness of the processor pipeline and thereby the overall processing efficiency, their overhead is difficult to measure directly when serving demanding workloads. This paper presents an indirect methodology to assess IRQ overhead by constructing preliminary approaches to reduce the impact of IRQs. While these approaches are not suitable for general deployment, their corresponding performance observations indirectly confirm the conjecture. Based on these findings, a small modification of a vanilla Linux system is devised that improves the efficiency and performance of traditional kernel-based networking significantly, resulting in up to 45% increased throughput without compromising tail latency. In case of server applications, such as web servers or Memcached, the resulting performance is comparable to using kernel-bypass and user-level networking when using stacks with similar functionality and flexibility.
Objective-C has plenty of dynamism, basically you can do almost everything as in Smalltalk.

Apple was after nothing, they got NeXT in a reverse acquisition, thus Objective-C.

Had they kept their Copland plan, or acquired Be, C++ would be the lucky one.

They only introduced Java in OS X, because initially they were afraid Mac OS community, raised in Object Pascal and C++, weren't that keen into adopting Objective-C.

Once they saw otherwise, Java support was killed, and the Apple specific extensions given to Sun/Oracle.

do you think Trump is playing this by ear? this term is unique because he has an experienced team that has already served one term, they are aware of what comes after leaving office, they had 4 years to plan ahead, and they can blame the previous administration for a lot of stuff.

if Trump was going to serve two terms anyway, this is the worst-case scenario for democrats.
The Apple macOS model of implementing useful features from apps (in ST's case: plugins) stands out as long as there are reasonable trade offs.

Without it, you have to use so much glue for a good experience. So, look at the very popular extensions and see if they can become native.
Thanks for saying this, I thought I was insane, DeepSeek is kinda bad. I guess it’s impressive all things considered but in absolute terms it’s not great.
At this point I’d call vscode an IDE.

Or at least an IDE platform where plugins provide the language integration.

> Am I putting up a fake identity then?

When you did it manually you were putting up a fake identify. ofc using an AI to fake you being fake for work would be fake.

Microsoft used to let you get 500 free emails under any domain you added, for years. I miss those years. Had the nice benefit of putting you into Microsoft's ecosystem. I was able to make emails for different sites too.

So if, for the sake of argument, the findings here are correct and causal and should be acted upon, what exactly is one supposed to do about it? We've got the technology to detect gut bacteria but we don't seem to have good targeted ways to affect it.
There was an executive order passed by the previous administration that make using anything with more than 10 billion parameters illegal and punishable by government force if done without authorization. Of course like most government regulations (even though this is not a regulation, it is an executive action) the point is not to stop the behavior but instead to create a system where everyone breaks the regulation constantly so that if anyone rocks the boat they can be indicted/charged and dealt with.

Folks think I'm saying "I didn't expect this" when what I'm saying is "Donald Trump didn't campaign on it." That's relevant and people need to be reminded of it every single day.
no, no, it's completely different. "open"AI stole from poor people. DeepSeek stole from a $1T company. that's illegal!
Aye, this should be obvious even to non-technical folks. Much has been written about how LLMs regurgitate the data they were trained on. So if you're looking for data to train on, you can certainly extract it there.

Plus of course for people within the tech bubble, plenty of research results on the value of synthetically augmented and expanded training data that put the impact past just regurgitating source data.

This whole episode is a failure of reporting what to expect next and projecting running costs etc. most of all.

I clicked through because that $6000 price tag seemed insane, achievable even.

Now it makes sense.

Still undecided how I feel about having the ability to use all that quality in the full size model if one could only retrieve it at 6-8 tokens per second.
I don't agree. Walls are physical items so your example is true, but models are data. Anyone can train off of these models, that's the current environment we exist in. Just like OpenAI trained on data that has since been locked up in a lot of cases. In 2025 training models like Deepseek is indeed 27x cheaper, that includes both their innovations and the existence of new "raw material" to do such a thing.
That is kind of why so many software companies switched to subscription models.

When others started scraping "our content" there were a couple of urgent all hands on deck meetings scheduled, with a high level of disbelief.

When it comes to the executive branch's role in banning something. I'm not convinced they're even honest about it / what the context even is.

Trump wanted to ban Tiktok before... and then simply chose not to / forgot about it.

Next round congress acted, and Trump delayed it and has said that he is interested in his friends buying it.

Is there really a competitive plan here or is it just fishing for payouts / grifting for allies?

The context is always about competition, but I'm not even sure that's their plan.
OpenAI's models were trained on ebooks from a private ebook torrent tracker leeched en-mass during a free leech event by people who hated private torrent trackers and wanted to destroy their "economy."

The books were all in epub format, converted, cleaned to plain text, and hosted on a public data hoarder site.
That’s a good point. I think if you really like the editor it might be something your employer could pay for. At least ST only offers a one-time fee for each major version. Of course that depends on where you work and their policies. So I see how it’s not so easy and my comment definitely missed that part.
Free that runs locally on consumer hardware sounds substantially better.

The US Government dropped 190bil (with a B) on education to cope with learning loss from the pandemic, and we still slid. That's like a 20% increase in funding, and we still didn't get shit from it. Let this be a lesson to people who think the problem with our education system is a lack of funding: we throw good money after bad on a bloated administrative system instead of actually spending money on kids.
It's just shitty prompt design
> NTN standards are a long way off being set.

NTN phones have been available since the early 2010s, some even using geostationary satellites (which are 100 times farther away).

If you mean 5G NTN, I believe the newer Pixel models already use that already, and I've been using it using a dedicated device since Summer 2023. They actually use at least some of the same satellites of the 2010s voice service, which I believe is no longer being offered.
Thanks, I was not aware of this distinction.

But I think my argument still stands though? Users can run Deepseek locally, so unless the US Gov't wants to reach for book burning levels or idiocy, there is not really a feasible way to ban the American public of running DeepSeek, no?

Anybody who was fooled about this was not paying attention. Trump's daughter is a convert, and is rather religious (the Kushners have deep ties with Israel and were envoys to Saudi Arabia to improve Israeli-Saudi relations. That's right. Kushner, an American citizen, was a representative for Israel in those talks). It always sucks the deephold that country has over us, given they share none of our morals (look no further than their videos maiming children). I do not expect this to change anytime soon, given both parties have fanatically religious Jewish donors with deep ties to Israel. I think this is a direct call from the Adelsons (Vegas gambling moguls), who made a significant gift to the Trump campaign on grounds of expanding Israeli territory (DC gossip, no references for this unfortunately, but I have heard it from a reliable source). Curious to see where the line is drawn here (Freedom of Speech, or some Vandalism loophole will be exploited for the purpose of punishing college students opposing American taxpayers footing the bill of a genocide). The party of Freedom of Speech, ladies and gentleman, comes knocking once again
I had the same initially confusing experience as the author, confusing "polish" for the language "Polish". The product manager should have used AI to get feedback on this feature...

I put the following into chatGPT: "I am a developer for an email client. I want to incorporate some AI features to help users write more polished emails. I'm thinking I will have an option that appears under the email body where a user can click "Polish". Can you see any issues with this UX?"

ChatGPT: There are a few potential issues or points of confusion with a button labeled “Polish”:

Ambiguity:

Some users might confuse “Polish” (as in “to make shiny or more refined”) with “Polish” (the language). If your product is used internationally or by non-native English speakers, that label can be unintentionally confusing.
Even among English speakers, “Polish” may not be immediately clear as a writing enhancement feature—people might wonder, “What exactly does it do?”
Lack of Context:

If users don’t already know what the feature does, they won’t know what to expect when they click “Polish.”
You may need a tooltip, hover text, or short description like “Improve your text with AI suggestions” so users understand it’s about refinement, grammar, tone, etc.
User Control:

How much will it change their text? Will it rewrite in a new style or just fix grammar?
If it makes heavier changes, users might worry about losing their personal style or voice. Be clear about the scope of the changes.
Trust & Consent:

Users may have privacy concerns if their email content is being sent to an AI for processing. Even if that’s already in your privacy policy, the feature’s label (just “Polish”) doesn’t convey what happens behind the scenes.
You might consider adding a “What will happen to my text?” link or a discreet explanation about how data is handled.
Alternative Wording:

Using a label like “Improve,” “Refine,” “Enhance,” or “Polish Text” might provide clearer expectations.
You might also consider dynamic or contextual labeling like “Improve Grammar & Clarity.”
How to address these concerns:

Add clarity in the UI: A short descriptive text or tooltip under the “Polish” button can briefly explain what the feature does: “AI-powered text improvements.”
Offer user choice: Present a preview of the changes before they commit. Let them accept or reject individual suggestions so they feel in control.
Signal the feature’s AI: Some users will want to know that an AI is involved, especially if they’re concerned about style changes or privacy. Labeling it as “Polish with AI” or something similar can help set expectations.
Overall, the idea of a quick “one-click to refine” feature is appealing, but make sure the button’s purpose and functionality are crystal clear—both to avoid confusion and to build user trust.

> illegal numbers in the USA land of the "free"

This is a silly take for anyone in tech. Any binary sequence is a number. Any information can be, for practical purposes, rendered in binary [1].

Getting worked up about restrictions on numbers works as a meme, for the masses, because it sounds silly, but is tantamount to technically arguing against privacy, confidentiality, the concept of national secrets, IP as a whole, et cetera.

It isn't on Package Control yet as I just submitted the PR.

I made this as I love Sublime Text as a text editor and do not want to pollute it with AI garbage. However, there are times where I want to quickly open the same file in Cursor to hash out some their agents. Workflow is:

- lovely text editing in Sublime

- encounter something I would like AI assistance for

- quickly pop open the thing in Cursor and do the AI stuff

- hop back to Sublime to continue my lovely editing
