OT, but whoa... Digg. There is a name from the past.
Out of curiosity, what is it about an IDE that you find useful...? I'm probably just a heathen, but I've always done the build/run steps on the command line, and Sublime has LSP for all the syntax & semantics goodies other than that -- like for Python, I've got Ruff (syntax), Jedi (semantics), and CoPilot (autocomplete) running happily, with what I feel is an impressive amount of configurability.

Are people just working on more complex software than I am so you need the build steps hidden behind a UX, or am I missing some killer IDE feature that I don't even know about?

EDIT: It probably helps that I'm a vim die-hard and couldn't imagine clicking on something to rebuild the program! And Sublime's Vim support is better than any real vim program I've ever used, much less the half-hearted versions available in the IDEs I've tried. Maybe that's the main disconnect, and y'all just prefer having dropdown menus?
This is probably a massive overreaction. No one is cancelling orders and the future of AI is still going to heavily involve GPUs. If not for LLMs, then for image and video generation.

Of course, if the stock was overly inflated from false expectations, this could certainly be a resetting to the normal.

Also, I can't help but feel like DeepSeek is a red herring for the market overall. The stock market's overall dip didn't happen until after the slew of Executive Orders hit. The federal spending cuts are certainly going to affect the bottom line of businesses, and they add to the seriousness of some of the other anti-economic threats like tariffs.

What's it called when you describe an app with sufficient detail that a computer can carry out the processes you want? Where will the record of those clarifying questions and updates be kept? What if one developer asks the AI to surreptitiously round off pennies and put those pennies into their bank account? Where will that change be recorded, will humans be able to recognize it? What if two developers give it conflicting instructions? Who's reviewing this stream of instructions to the LLM?

"AI" driven programming has a long way to go before it is just a better code completion.

This doesn't really jive with reality as Windows is plenty buggy in the presence or absence of the latest updates. Microsoft has slowly eliminated end user controls over updates because it would interfere with their ability to monetize their customer base. You can't really push a telemetry update, if updates aren't being applied.
Humans are pretty much the same as they were in the 1910s, or the entire history before.

If there is anything that keeps us from tearing each other's throats out, it is a) democracy, which in most countries makes going into a war of aggression somewhat harder (I know, the US is a huge exception, but Trump I. was partially elected on the basis of Clinton being perceived as a war hawk), and b) the intuition that weapons are now so destructive that there is nothing to win, except scorched earth.

Still that didn't stop Putin from launching his war; miscalculation such as his ("the enemy is a paper tiger and will fold immediately") is very possible even today.

IIRC the same delusion led Saddam to invade Iran in 1980.
Ok so throw chaff in the air don't engage with question. Standard response.
I think the prevailing narrative ATM is that DeepSeek's own innovation was done in isolation and they surpassed OpenAI. Even though in the paper they give a lot of credit to Llama for their techniques. The idea that they used o1's outputs for their distillation further shows that models like o1 are necessary.

All of this should have been clear anyway from the start, but that's the Internet for you.

The comparison becomes meaningless when we count the milliwatt, sub-Lumen LED in an outlet wirh incandescents. "I had 8 incandescent lightbulbs, but now have 1000s of LEDs- including outlets, TV backlights, DVR status" isn't comparing like with like.
You're focusing on tools and not on outcomes in your previous post. The purpose of a computer is not to use a certain tool, but to achieve a result. The purpose of a car is not to burn a certain kind of fuel, but to transport people. What matters is if it can do that and with what comfort and what cost.

Macs are lacking compared to other platforms when it comes to games, which everybody admits. You can say that it is lacking as a server, but I would doubt that. More expensive yes, but you could serve anything you'd like from it if you want to.

When it comes to very industry specific software, which is used by maybe 3 companies worldwide, those applications do not have any importance for comparing platforms.

TL;DR: hookworm eradication in the American South substantially improved school attendance and educational outcomes in children, and may have had a nontrivial positive effect on the overall economy of the region.

(In case you don't see the connection, some children had such severe hookworm infestations that they were too anemic to focus in school, or even to attend at all. Teachers' accounts specifically remark on their students' newly "rosy cheeks" - because they're no longer anemic.)

They've started already, I've seen posts on LinkedIn implying or outright stating that DeepSeek is a national security risk (IMHO, LinkedIn being the social media outlet most corporate-sycophantic). I went ahead and just picked this one at random from my feed.

Otzi was carrying birch polypore, which is used in traditional medicine. The surface "skin" can be used as a basic sticking plaster and it is chemically poisonous to whipworm. Based on this article though I wonder if it was being used for antibacterial properties.

I love Sublime and am probably the only one at work still using it. LSP support is nice but there doesn't seem to be great support for a TypeScript LSP server that works reliably with large projects. VSCode is slow here, too, but there are some specific optimizations they do I think that help a bit.
>WD mixed both CMR and SMR

I was a fan of WD HDDs before and I was in the market for some drives for my new NAS a few years ago. When I checked what drives were on the market, I saw WD doing that while Seagate still clearly marked which drives were which.

I swore off WD that day because my time is too valuable for their bullshit. I have no clue if they have amended their marketing, but I don't care since as far as I'm aware Seagate still clearly marks them and the drives I bought from them have all been fine. I'll likely buy Seagate again next time I'm in the market.
> The amount of compute required for R1 to determine that strawberry has 3 Rs is hilarious..

How about the amount of compute to take a buggy hextree implementation I've been poking at for a few years and completely rewrite it into a fully functioning implementation (with test cases) without me having to write a single line of code? Well...other than me having to break out the printf debugger to help with tracking down some deep bugs that is.

I've been trying to get the original implementation to work correctly for so long I don't even remember what I wanted to use it for in the first place, I just mess with it a bit here and there when I have nothing better to do.

And that's just me, a half-assed self-taught junior woodchuck coder, playing around to see what all the hype is about.

I can only imagine that I'm giving them valuable training data as some of the bugs were very deep and took a whole lot of 'thinking' to track down the root cause. It does take a bit of prodding to get it to look in the right place but so far it has found and fixed them all. The last bug was an overflow in the tree iterator's stack it uses to track state across iterations that I was concerned would time out as it was thinking for a long, long time.

I'm not really one to defend the robots but this one is actually uesful.

Oh... I guess that's a meme now. Nothing to see here, move along...
Hardware requirements? I think I can hit the memory bandwidth building from parts I have in my house. Maybe even 2x. Asking for fun not profit.
Reminds me of the Bill Gates quote when Steve Jobs accused him of stealing the ideas of Windows from Mac:

Well, Steve... I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.

Xerox could be seen as Google, whose researchers produced the landmark Attention Is All You Need paper, and the general public, who provided all of the training data to make these models possible.

They did the exact same thing with public information. Their model just synthesizes and puts out the same information in a slightly different form.

I've been eagerly awaiting this for a couple of months now. And I've long wondered why there hasn't been such an implementation/extension for Flight especially as there are extensions for mysql, postgres, sqlite...

Looking forward to watching your talk.
That would require stealing the model weights and the code as OpenAI has been hiding what they are doing. Running models properly is still quite artistic.

Meanwhile, they have access to Meta models and Qwen. And Meta models are very easy to run and there's plenty of published work on them. Occam's Razor.

I just read _The Great River_ by Boyce Upholt, a history of the Mississippi river and human management thereof. It was funny how the railroads were used as a bogeyman to justify continued building of locks, dams, and other control structures on the Mississippi and its tributaries, long after shipping commodities down river had been supplanted by the railroads.

TCES is extremely cheap (megajoules per dollar of rechargeable capacity, compared to tens of kilojoules per dollar for batteries) and will likely be critical to the energy transition, but it won't run your servers overnight or your airplanes over the Atlantic. Things like cycle life are still an issue for TCES. And you need electric power to run your TCES system, so efficiency is still a concern.

I feel like oxidizing methane to methanol shouldn't be rocket science, especially if you have an unlimited amount of energy to use. NADPH does it at scale already. A few more cheap process steps would give you nontoxic ethanol instead.
Family members that worked in a hospital.

2020 COVID and 2022 COVID were very different things. Few people got COVID in 2020, but a high fraction of those who did got hospitalized. Pretty much everybody got it in 2022, and a low fraction of those who did got hospitalized. But a small fraction of "pretty much everybody" is still a large number.

And yes, the hospitals are full right now. Flu, RSV, COVID & norovirus all going around. One is bad, 2 at the same time can be really bad. Good thing lock downs prevented that scenario from happening in 2022.
The reason you’re not seeing that being discussed is it’s totally unsupported by any evidence that’s in the public domain. Unless you have some actual evidence of such a breach, you may as well introduce the possibility that DeepSeek was reverse engineered from data found at an alien crash site.
I wish I was so confident about future events.
This would be a stronger point for me if the main developer had already apologized for promising things they couldn't deliver on as main tenants for bringing players to the game, but I can see looking online that this isn't the case even as of 2025. Rather than engage the community continually dismissing intentful lies as 'drama around launch', I'd rather spend my time and energy on supporting platforms that value honesty and transparency.

But, I don't dismiss it as a fun videogame. I don't think cyberpunk 2077 is a bad game still either, but the reframing by these communities of legitimate problems as petty grudges turns me away from wanting to support them entirely. I don't value that type of conduct from a game company.
There isn't a lot of easily accessible examples outside of the corporate world.

Open source authors typically shy away from Nvidia closed source APIs, and PTX is tied to how Nvidia hardware works, so you won't see it implemented for other hardware.

To do what Deepseek did, but didn't want to waste your time and money with Nvidia, you'd use Vulkan. Theres more Vulkan in the world than CUDA.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren suggested alternative plans for savings:

I think once we get some good LSPs that can do AI work then you can come back to Sublime! There are some out there. I have tried about 3. But they haven't really worked well for me yet. I think the best option for me right now is just a simple build system that calls Ollama or a remote API. I don't want code completion. I usually want some type of "enhanced google"
It would be well-deserved and helpful towards culling many AI services, which are essentially snake oil. For example, the science and research on lie detection using image and audio analysis is tenuous at best, but there companies purporting to offer services such as these. On the other hand, such services are perhaps useful for milking money and resources from unscrupulous actors whose primary goal is “cover your ass”. So, essentially the McKinsey business model.
" Once a person grew beyond that age, it‘s life expectancy was just a few years below of where we are today."

I strongly disagree. Every single archeological study that I read and that examined ages of skeletons excavated from normal European cemeteries (= not kingly burials etc.) indicated that people over 60 used to be fairly rare (less than one in 10), even in the Early Modern Era, much less so in the Middle Ages. In the Early Middle Ages, with their hunger and frequent raids, even 50 was untypical.

Even the most important people of the past, for whom we actually know their ages at death, died way earlier than we do today.

Try enumerating the English or the French kings who lived to be 70. Not many, a few individuals over a span of a millennium. It only started getting better post 1750, and really better since 1900.
If Deepseek trained off OpenAI, then it wasn't trained from scratch for "pennies on the dollar"

If OpenAI trained on the intellectual property of others, maybe it wasn't the creativity breakthrough people claim?

Oppositely

If you say ChatGPT was trained on "whatever data was available", and you say Deepseek was trained "whatever data was available", then they sound pretty equivalent.

All the rough consensus language output of humanity is now roughly on the Internet. The various LLMs have roughly distilled that and the results are naturally going to be tighter and tighter. It's not surprising that companies are going to get better and better at solving the same problem. The situation of DeepSeek isn't so much that promises future achievements but that it shows that OpenAI's string of announcements are incremental progress that aren't going to be reaching the AGI that Altman now often harps on.
You stretched the analogy too far, to the point it doesn’t work at all. The advice to sell shovels works because shovels are cheap, already invented, simple, proven to work for their purpose, and can be bought in bulk. None of that is true in your analogy.

If anything you have it backwards and the LLMs (or eventually AGI) are the “gold” everyone is chasing. The low-effort crummy products that shove AI for the sake of hype and parting fools (mainly greedy investors afflicted by FOMO) from their money are the “pyrite”. A shovel in this sense would be something OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, etc would want.
You're not getting new high-quality textual data for pre-training from your chat service. But you are potentially getting a lot of RL feedback on ambiguous problems.

If I could buy a lifetime license I would. I hope it doesn't go away for as long as I want to write code
Called it from day 0, impossible to reach that performance with 5M, they had to distill OpenAI (or some other leading foundational model).

Got downvoted to oblivion by people who haven't been told what to think by MSM yet. Now it's on FT and everywhere, good, what matters is that truth comes out eventually.

I don't take any sides and think what DeepSeek did is fair play, however, what I do find harmful about this is, what incentive would company A have to spend billions training a new frontier model if all of that could be then reproduced by company B at a fraction of the cost?

Depending on how they do it, and how many people they need working on it, it might only need to keep a relatively small trickle of new sales going.

It also now marks it as a "great value" so people are more likely to pick it up even if they don't end up playing.

Depending on pricing, you can even just sell to people upgrading or changing consoles (this is one area that really helps Stardew Valley, albeit with a low cost).

After all, even if you've sold millions of copies, there's way more people who have NOT bought it.
Asteroid Bennu samples have 14/20 amino acids found in life on Earth
Hopefully the Deepseek news hasn't obscured the discoveries from this space mission. 14/20 amino acids found in life on Earth were recovered from the samples from that mission. 33 amino acids overall. Unlike with terrestrial amino acids found in living things, there are equal number of left and right handed amino acids.

This has big implications for understanding the rise of life in our solar system, and perhaps the potential rise of life in the cosmos.
> With Worlds Part II, we added billions of new star systems and trillions of new planets to the universe

I played the game at launch for a few days and coincidentally just last week again. So assume basic knowledge of the gameplay. Can someone explain how trillions of planets in the game (I mean the number specifically) changes the experience in game?

I get improving the level of variety on a planet and between planets can improve the gameplay. But trillions of anything makes me think most of the content will never be touched by any human. Am I missing something?
