> Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity, and all that.

that only applies when you have a flat prior. stupidity should be random - one action moves the needle one way, another action moves it back and you have an average of zero. when every action moves the needle the same way and somebody benefits from it, there's something going on.
That is called a hotspot. The us government has easier and cheaper methods to hide what nobody should know. fake agencies, secrecy laws, combining budgets with harmless ones, ...

I don't think police really care what happens after the arrest most of the time, unless it was someone they feel wronged them. I could be wrong.

Point being, letting the guy get off, the police will just blame the lawyers and not themselves a lot of the time.

You always hear, "they got off on a technicality," which means the police were sloppy and didn't do their job the right (constitutional) way, but it infers someone did something wrong in the courtroom and not the police.
I sincerely do not understand this comment so please clarify: are you saying I'm spamming? Is there an issue with the source?
This is my thought. I have no attachment to the idea, I've been comfortably and happily married for years. But dismissing the idea of "an alpha" among animals seems stupid based on one study. Isn't this the case among gorillas, lions, etc? And it apparently is the truth even among wolves in certain circumstances as the study points out. The OP should apply the same logic to interrogate his own motivated reasoning.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted because you're right: they have the technology, they don't have an engine, and this just looks like a civilian version of a fighter jet pretty much (except it has 3 turbojets).

And what people always fail to mention when it comes to supersonic flights is one of the main issue is neither a technological nor an economical one nor a supersonic boom one.

Traveling west bound is great: you leave in the morning and you arrive, local time, before the local time of your origin point. But traveling east bound isn't that great: you still have to leave in the morning and you land in the evening, so the only thing you gained is a shorter flight time but not a full day of work or shopping or what not.

So on regular flights (because Concorde was profitable, at least on the French side, thanks to charter flights), people would fly Concorde to go to NYC and fly back on a red eye...

As someone who worked for and flew on Concorde, I think what they're doing is amazingly cool though and I hope they succeed. But I'm still unsure what the long term plan is...

So far I've found the bugs that it writes to be indistinguishable from the bugs that I'd write. Like, you look at it and think:

Open models are not censored.
You're making the mistake of treating an LLM like a search engine, and expecting it to be able to answer questions directly from its training data.

Sometimes this works! But it's not guaranteed - this isn't their core strength, especially once you get into really deep knowledge of complex APIs.

They are MUCH more useful when you use them for transformation tasks: feed in examples of the APIs you need to work with, then have them write new code based on that.

Working effectively with LLMs for writing code is an extremely deep topic. Most people who think they aren't useful for code have been mislead into believing that the LLMs will just work - and that they don't first need to learn a whole bunch of unintuitive stuff in order to take advantage of the technology.
R1 is available on both together.ai and fireworks.ai, it should be a drop in replacement using the OpenAI API.

This particular strain is so virulent and deadly to chickens that it kills the entire flock before you can even cull them sometimes. Usually the first sign that farmers get is that 90% of the flock is already dead and the rest are dying. The few chickens that survive are also carriers and eventually die anyways. It's just that bad.

I noped out of Fusion360 due to the intrusive (and dark-pattern) onboarding. Having to create an account is going to be a deal-killer for me for what should be standalone software. It feels like they may well pull the rug out from under the community at some point.

I never could "get" SketchUp. (Didn't they also kind of become more of a walled-garden after Google or whoever sold them off?)

Went with FreeCAD instead. I'm pretty sure it is grossly inferior to Fusion (the Mac version crashes on me periodically) but is free as in Blender. It has worked for the simple things I have been sending to the 3D printer.
Because everyone has their own opinion about it, like most other standards.

Personally, I think the way PHP handles dependencies is vastly preferable to every other ecosystem I've developed in, for most types of development - but I know its somewhat inflexible approach would be a headache for some small percentage of developers too.
The whole point of a password manager is that you can use it to log into things like email.

I have a single password I only use for Bitwarden and nothing else. All of my other passwords are randomly generated. How am I gaining security by enabling MFA? If I lose my phone on holiday now, I’m in a position where I can’t log into anything because I won’t be able to log into my email.
The comparison with the original minesweeper is a little bit unfavorable. That's a game that you can win more consistently with skill rather than luck until you crank up the number of mines to an excessive level. This game is punishingly difficult without near perfect play and extreme luck, while containing almost no instructions.
There's a fairly low ceiling for max context tokens no matter the size of the model. Your hobby/small codebase may work, but for large codebases, you will need to do RAG and currently it's not perfect at absorbing the codebase and being able to answer questions on it.
Well, we don't accept it in the sense of "we can't blame someone", which is what I'm saying. Soon it'll be like a forest fire or a conspiracy theory.

You can find even more affordable + reliable cloud GPU options on Shadeform (YC S23).

It's a GPU marketplace that lets you compare and deploy on-demand instances from big names like Lambda, Scaleway, Crusoe, etc. with a single account.

Super useful for finding the best pricing per GPU type and deploying.

There's H100s for under $2 an hour, and H200s for under $3 an hour. Lots of lighter GPU options too (ex: A5000 for $0.25/hr)

I've been meaning to look into uv. However, since I make pretty heavy use of conda for my pythons scripts, I'll usually add a bash function that handles conda activation / code execution to my .zshrc file.

function transcribe() {
# get the active conda environment
active_env=$(conda info | grep "active environment" | awk '{print $4}')

if [[ "$active_env" != "speechrec-env" ]]; then
conda activate speechrec-env
fi

}

It's handy because if it'll always point to the most current version of my script.
Why Social Media Has Captured Our Attention
How can a car brand famed for its reliability have such awful styling (this is subjective, but it seems to be sentiment that many share with me) and now such poor software etc? Such as shame.
They're really not? Both subjectively and in benchmarks there is no world in which the delta between the models deserves a "much much".
Strange definition of 'civil'. I think I'd use 'built by a private company' instead.

Great achievement though.

Edit: apparently it was unclear to many readers - Concorde was a supersonic civilian aircraft. And, though partly built by private companies, it was certainly a state project.

I thought for sure this was just a bad headline, but no, the article makes the same mistake. Maybe someone can find a better source, this is still a good story.
> Not many uninterested laypeople are going to be browsing the IAC website for astrophysics news.

But they will get linked to it, or read articles by reporters using it as a source without enough domain knowledge to make the distinction. I, after all, didn't seek this out - it just popped up on the HN home page.

> What seems weird to me is to be interested in a discipline, seek out news and conversation about it (from university press releases!) but then reject and/or argue about any terms of art that are established within that discipline.

I think science communication, post-COVID, needs to take a serious look at how to better explain things to the public. "Habitable zone" is simply one example of it.
I think customers feel, rightly or wrongly, there's no alternative to CrowdStrike.

There are so many alternatives to what GoDaddy provides, it is quite commoditized.

But also... true, their customers don't seem to care anyway? Or it's "cost of switch", even just mentally? If you were starting fresh it really wouldn't be any harder at all to go with any of numerous alternatives, but if you already have godaddy...

That's a broad statement. If the IDE checks types and feeds errors back to the LLM, then that loop is very well able to fix an issue or implement a feature all on its own (see aider, cline etc )

I am mixed on this point.

I 100% agree with you our trade is changed forever.

On the other hand, I am writing like 1000+ LOC daily, without much compromise on quality and my mental health, and thought of writing some code that is necessary but feels like a chore is not longer the case. The boost in output is incredible.
Wow, this is super obvious (so obvious that it wouldn't occur to me to write a post to brag about it), yet it somehow didn't occur to me. Very cool.

Not so long ago I started pip-installing my scripts to keep things tidy. It seems now I can regress back to chaos again...
So what’s your point, everyone developing a model should be forced to spend the same as what the first movers did?
It's called the 60 day registrant change lock. Most changes to administrative or technical contact information will trigger it.

Although it's a real ICANN rule, the registrar is allowed to override it if they want. Of course very few registrars offer that kind of customer service, so that escape hatch might as well not exist...
This kind of thing is a perfect candidate for GPU acceleration. It would easily run 10x faster even on a low end graphics card.
Yea. This article needs to be updated if that is the case. There isn't even a hint that this is possible. And there are very valid reasons to not turn it on as these comments have shown.
Privately built, not civil; there's a huge difference. "Civil" in the meaning they seem to be using means "neither military nor religious" (e.g. civil servant). The Concorde was decidedly unaffiliated with the military, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't affiliated with any religious organization, though I can't find a source for the latter.
Civilian, as opposed to military
From the article:

> The Concorde, which was retired in 2003, was built jointly by the British and French governments.

This is the technicality TechCrunch is using to make this claim.
I just added the links here since the substack failed to do it. And I left them a note on the sub to add the credits!

Thank you for pointing this out!
I was mostly curious about it from the linguistic perspective, not the causal perspective. They're definitely doing some strange things with sentence structure.
Reminder: Concorde 1st flight was 2nd March 1969. Civilian supersonic flight was completely routine until 2003. You could book pure "pleasure cruises" doing a lap of the Bay Of Biscay, eating lunch, and returning to the same airport. IT was not "built by the government" either. It was built by Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), both private companies. It was funded by government.
The dev jobs won‘t go away, but they will change. Devs will be more and more like requirements engineers who need to understand the problem to then write prompts with the peoper context so that the llm can produce valuable and working code. And the next level will be to prompt llms to generate prompts for llms to produce code and solutions.

But already I hire less and less developers for smaller tasks. The things that I‘d assign to a dev in Ukraine to explore an idea, do a data transformation, make a UI for the internal company tool. I can do these things quicker with llm than trying to find a dev and explain the task.
So far. And there might be orders of magnitude left to improve! Deepseek R1 is a training architecture improvement -- cool stuff! [0]

I edited part of that out, because I actually do broadly agree with you regarding science communication, and realized my comment was a bit stronger than I intended. Looks like you were quick on the quote!

However, I think there's some serious slack to cut when you're viewing an article on the Institute of Astrophysics website, compared to reading Fox/CBS/whatever.

Edit: In my re-reading of the article, I see they define it! I'm no longer sure what all this back and forth is even about. "This orbit places it within the habitable zone of the system, _meaning it is at the right distance from its star to sustain liquid water on its surface_" Do you want them to not use the term even when they define the term?

How do you know that these are different things? They could be, I genuinely don’t know, but I’m not sure where people are getting these kind of confident assertions about what modern architectures could never do.

This has been done, and doesn't work especially well. See, for example, GANs, which are difficult to train and vulnerable to mode collapse.

Not saying that it's impossible, but reinforcement learning of the form shown by DeepSeek was particularly well-established and robust. It's sort of ironic, actually...IIRC, OpenAI started in the world of this kind of reinforcement learning.
No weights, no proof.
seems there are reports of different sorts of delays in the comments.

w.r.t. a small, split-second one in initial rendering, i'd take it ten times out of ten over what it was for me all these years: immediate ability to key in input, but if you typed at the precisely (im)perfect moment, which was an extremely common occurrence, the extension would bug out and not perform the actual search.

so i'm sitting there for about a whole second wasted for having waited out the threshold to realize that it bugged out yet again and didn't perform my search. then, i would have to either backspace or type in the next character in the query in order to trigger the search; this was often an unpleasant added mental overhead when backspacing would repopulate results that you were trying to filter out.

i'd rather have the split-second delay for every initial render.
If my irritation with BW had come later I might well have settled on Apple's solution, but I'm already entrenched at Enpass and, like you, don't really want to further enmesh.

I mean, I'm pretty tied to Apple in both hardware and service use, but it strikes me as unlikely that Apple's first swing at password management could really rival a purpose-built tool right out of the gate. I do think I'm going to push my thus-far-vault-avoidant wife to use the Apple tool, though.

One issue is that a lot of techniques proposed (especially from academic research) are hard to validate at scale given the resources required. At least DeepSeek helps a little in that regard.

The thing with programming, to do it well, you need to fully understand the problem and then you implement the solution expressing it in code. AI will be used to create code based on a deficit of clear understanding and we will end up with a hell of a lot of garbage code. I foresee the industry demand for programmers sky rocketing in the future, as companies scramble to unfuck the mountains of shit code they lash up over the coming years. It's just a new age of copy paste coders.
Is there any good quick summary of what's special about DeepSeek? I know it's OSS and incredibly efficient, but news laymen are saying it's trained purely on AI info instead of using a corpus of tagged data... which, I assume, means it's somehow extracting weights or metadata or something from other AIs. Is that it?
