Yeah I always wondered about that too. How do you stop it from sending too much and cluttering the entire area (media access control is another issue because the satellite will 'see' a much wider area than the phone).

I imagine though that Starlink DTC will only be visible to phones in really remote areas, as it uses the same frequenties as terrestrial network it will be easily overwhelmed by traffic from nearby towers.
R1 stands out not just because of efficient training, but because it created its own training data. Works similar to AlphaGo - it tries to solve problems, and has a way to check when the result is correct. The trick is to let it run more, to make better training data. I bet those datacenters will work more on problem solving than training.

True, but at this point we're leaving the realm of cryptography and theoretical infosec, and enter the realm of real-world security. In this realm, permissions are established by armies of lawyers across organizations and governments defining who can or cannot do things, and what happens when transgressions occur; here, "defense in depth" carries all the way to the threat of men with guns escorting you to jail.

So it's true that you can't encrypt compute tasks of this type end-to-end, so you can't know if unauthorized parties mine your data. However, Microsoft is very unlikely to mine your data (for "you" being e.g. any of the many multinational corporations that already run all their office work through Azure-hosted Outlook, Office, SharePoint, etc.), or to let others mine it, because if it ever came out, your customers' lawyers would be after you, your lawyers would be after Microsoft, and the whole thing would explode into a multiple-billion-dollars shitshow and might even get a government or two involved.

That's the working assumption that makes Microsoft well-positioned to eat any fledgling self-hosted DeepSeek market in the business space. They already have things set up at a level that is trusted by governments as well as corporations in critical industrial sectors, with huge financial and legal exposure.

(Presumably Google and Amazon are in a similar position here, though I've only seen this personally with Microsoft/Azure, so that's what I can comment on.)

People talk about Groq and Cerberus as competitors but it seems to me their manufacturing process makes the availability of those chips extremely limited. You can call up Nvidia and order $10B worth of GPUs and have them delivered the next week. Can't say the same for these specialty competitors.

In some sense, this is how computers were always supposed to work!
Businesses can’t freely use the information. There are terms of service freely agreed upon by the user which explicitly deny many use cases—training other models is just one. DeepSeek is not an American company nor is their leader in deep with the new administration. It seems far more likely that this will play out like tiktok—they’ll be attacked publicly and banned for national security reasons.
The clearly expressed will of Congress is that federal employees are not typically to be classed as at-will employees. This current Supreme Court majority explicitly said Congress has the authority to constrain executive branch HR policy. I'm not sure I've read an opinion before where Congress made a black-letter declaration of some policy, and the court overturned it because of the perceived will of the narrow majority of voters for the President, but hey, you do you.

I really don't much care about the underlying principles here. I'm a fan of at-will employment. I generally (though with nothing resembling the fervor of this administration) think that the federal employment rolls are bloated and inefficient. But I also believe what I learned in St. Barnabus Elementary about the separation of powers: Congress makes the laws, the President executes them.
It's not splitting hairs at all. If I ask you to do something illegal and you do it, who do you think is liable?
Well according to the unitary executive theory the US president has complete authority over all government actions and congress is only able to give legitimacy to the president's actions. Under this regime the president would be allowed to stop the execution of any law passed by congress.

I think this is insane and a complete destruction of the balance of power written in the constitution that congress can't enact enforceable laws but only "suggestions" for the president

Analyzing the Dub.co Analytics Playbook
People fundamentally misunderstand how "AI's" work. They merely regurgitate statistically what is fed to them, and that includes vast corpus of data, and they are a black box. Hence of course they will disseminate false and misleading information.

They don't actually have "intelligence" or agency. There's also not much we can do about the hallucination problem.
> "Complete hardware + software setup for running Deepseek-R1 locally. The actual model, no distillations, and Q8 quantization for full quality. Total cost, $6,000."

These guys say they got really good results with 2.51-bit quantization of the original R1. The original has 671B params weighing in at 720GB - that's what they're running on this $6000 setup. According to these guys[0] they get really good results at 2.51bit quantization which would be this model[1] which is still 671B params, but weighs in at 212GB.

From a politician's perspective, scientists are like gold prospectors digging holes seemingly at random. $100 billion startups are what you get when the prospectors strike gold.

Why would you discuss gold with the wild-haired eccentric at the bottom of a hole, who has not yet found any gold, when you could talk to a gold mine owner who has - and who employs 1500 voters, and who like you wears a suit and tie?

Burger King continued to use iodized salt consistently, while McDonalds, Wendys etc have switched to flakier salts for their fries which cuts total sodium overall by being flatter instead of grainy, but without any iodine added to it.

The downward trend in fast food began in the 70s, once sodium was seen as bad, so more salty tasting thin crystals were preferred.

_Examination…put his likely age to be around 45. This was a good age considering the short life expectancy 5300 years ago.

I think this is an urban myth.

Edit: Seems like I was thinking wrong, see below.

The average life expectancy 200 years ago (ie the time we did comprehensive and complete records of births and deaths of a population) was indeed much lower than today. But a huge part of that was a high child mortality rate of around 50% until adolescence was reached. Once a person grew beyond that age, it‘s life expectancy was just a few years below of where we are today. There is no reason to believe that this was different a few millenias ago. The reason that child mortality dropped substantially around the end of the 19th century was 1. the discovery of the importance of hygiene and 2. antibiotics.

> The local LLM on iPhones are literally 1% as powerful as the server based models like 4o.

Currently, yes. That's why this is a compelling advance - it makes local LLMs much more feasible, especially if this is just the first of many breakthroughs.

A lot of the hype around OpenAI has been due to the fact that buying enough capacity to run these things wasn't all that feasible for competitors. Now, it is, potentially even at the local level.
Ok, we've changed the title above to be that of the article.

(Submitted title was "DeepSeek proves the future of LLMs is open-source".)
They're using Llama.cpp which is an amazing tool for local inference but doesn't match fast inference frameworks like TensorRT-LLM/SGLang for production speeds and throughputs on Hopper GPUs.

The Unsloth quantizations are really cool, but if you want to experiment with the R1 models in a smaller form factor the R1 Distills like Llama 70B are great and should run a lot faster as they take advantage of existing optimizations around inferencing llama-architecture models.
But it’s actually correct from a usability perspective
> I had to go through a phone tree with the chatbot, say “no” 3 times until it let me type a free response.

I’m not excusing this design (it could probably be improved), but it may have been intentional.

See below.

> And I am a reasonably competent person on a computer.

Most people are not. It’s generally unwise to design an automated system that assumes computer/tech competence.

> For someone who isn’t maybe this is enough to make them turn away from whatever action they were attempting to do in frustration.

I imagine it’s the other way around. This type of system saves folks with less tech savvy from themselves.

I’m not sure if you’ve designed systems like this before. I have, and I was very surprised at what people thought was reasonable interaction and/or reasonable input.

Confirming choices, perhaps multiple times, before moving forward can save a lot of headache later for everyone involved. The collateral damage is guaranteed “wasted” time for everyone using the chatbot, but the company largely doesn’t care about that — that is, they are more than willing to pass on the cost of their money (e.g., if they hired a human agent) for your time.
I don’t use a mac. As I said — people do not try to run mac-exclusive software elsewhere, even though that’s the norm for most other platforms. That means that there is not enough software, or it’s not sufficiently desirable.

This myth has several things that well-designed misinformation needs in order to supplant good information:

1) it fits into existing worldviews - the myth of the alpha validates people continuing to do what they want to do and what they've always done. it's a lot easier to accept information that tells you that you and the systems with which you're already familiar and comfortable are correct

2) it's intuitive to understand - "the big guy kicks the crap out of the little guys and takes all their stuff" is not something that has any sharp edges to snag unwary intellects. We've all seen this system at work. Also the popular understanding of evolution at the time was that competition happened at the level of the organism, which dovetails nicely with this theory of competition and dominance where our more current understanding of competition at the level of the gene complex introduces the possibility of cooperation and even self-sacrifice as valid survival strategies.

3) it trended in the same direction as society at the time - the book came out in 1970, about the same time that we started trending toward neoliberalism which is a hyperindividualistic, hypercompetitive worldview. If you like neoliberalism then this is why you like it, and if you don't this is why you don't. This means that as this idea was becoming more and more well-known there was a lot of room for it in the emerging zeitgeist. It's the political and sociological equivalent to 1, but with significance added by people who were already dedicated to engineering our culture in that direction in the first place latching onto this idea because it indicates that they're so correct that the whole world is already designed around principles of individualism and competition.
nah YT music is cappy too. just crappy in a different way.
>His first act was eliminating institutionalized racial practices with employment, aka "DEI" initiatives.

The purpose of the narrative that DEI is "institutional racism" and the goal of its elimination is to normalize the belief that non white straight male and able-bodied people are inherently less qualified for any position, and to allow legal systemic discrimination against such people.

Which is racist, yes. And sexist, and homophobic and transphobic and ableist.
An appliance with the primary role of storage, and the ability to share files over the network are the distinguishing features for a NAS. Network support for iSCSI, SMB, NFS makes a NAS; sharing data exclusively over the media protocols (http, rtsp, etc) makes it a media server
>Once you have Magisk stabilized, install the Advanced Charging Controller, and configure it to halt charging at 80%.

That will reduce future wear, but won't suddenly make the battery better. If anything it'll make the battery even worse, at least in the short term.
It takes away the ability to know what it does though, which is also often considered an important aspect. By not publishing details on how to train the model, there's no way to know if they have included intentional misbehavior in the training. If they'd provide everything needed to train your own model, you could ensure that it's not by choosing your own data using the same methodology.

IMO it should be considered freeware, and only partially open. It's like releasing an open source program with a part of it delivered as a binary.
Looks like for the most part it's words, but some longer words get broken at prefix/suffix boundaries.
So even the LLMs want to keep doing just easy stuff given a choice?
Ah Ladakh, a magical place. If you want to experience Tibet and its culture as it was before chinese came and raped that land and its people in many ways, look no further. In fact many of them there are Tibetan refugees.

Flying over Zanskar valley is magical experience for those with a bit of adventure spark. Almost did the 3 week long traverse from Manali/Keylong area to Zanskar valley over often frozen rivers, but that year (2010) winter was stronger than usually, and there were still 4-5m of snow even on lower passes in early summer, (there is also Taglang La pass, which is 5328m high and quite an experience to cross during mega long journey between Manali and Leh). This was before strategic tunnels were finished (although saw massive construction work north of Manali back then, used few trucks as hitchhikers) so strength of winter fully dictated when the road is opened.

Good times, go there while it still has some original magic since mass tourism ruins it all without exception. Especially the people and mountains, salty yak butter tea... not so much.

Yeah. I personally think we should just sink the middle east into the ocean because not a single problem there will ever be resolved in a meaningful way.
I have no sympathy for OpenAI here. They are (allegedly) a non-profit with open in the title that refuse to open-source their models.

They are now upset at a startup who is more loyal to OpenAI's original mission that OpenAI is today.

I assume you are referring to this section:

> Create or sell an AI system or product that has “an adverse or disproportionate impact on members of a protected class, or create, reinforce, or perpetuate discrimination or segregation of members of a protected class.“

It's a straw man to characterize that as saying disparate outcomes ALONE are why AI systems might be discriminatory. They may well can be, and likely are, actually embedding biases in the models.

The simple examples of how many systems often prefer "he" for doctors and "her" for nurses shows that bias in datasets results in bias in the models. Yes, that is a result of the dataset and reflects the dataset (and maybe even real world statistics on doctors and nurses!) but it does mean the system may treat women and men differently when there is no legal justification to do so.
Actually that post is very much a mistake. Everything in it is wrong.

OOP is great for big applications which is where Java is still a leader. If you have statics all over then you have a problem.

Heap was the right decision when Java was made. Newer JVMs are fantastic at allocating and releasing it in a way that beats C performance for some cases. There are edge cases where it can't do that which is why we're getting Valhalla which will solve that edge case.

The file API you're referring to is out of date. NIO access has been around for ages.

I agree that generics have a lot of issues, but Java has some of the cleanest error messages around. You dug up a single problem there which plagues pretty much any language that has a complex type system. The alternative is untyped languages that have their own problems.

Bytecode is fantastic. You're confusing historic VM implementation (the Pascal VM) which were inspirational but unrelated. The value Java provides there is amazing, first modern JVMs provide a level of performance that rivals native code. But the biggest benefit isn't in performance: it's observability and extensibility. Thanks to the stability of bytecode developers have built debugging and observability tools for Java that are both performant and powerful. Having worked in this industry I can tell you that no other language comes close to that power. This isn't even a contest, it's Java then everything else. It also opened the gate for many other languages that run on the JVM and interoperate with Java fantastically well.

Modern Java uses UTF-8 for Strings and for internal representation of Strings when applicable.

I suggest reading a bit about modern GCs. Xms/Xmx are important but modern heap allocation and the things done by the newer GCs is at a completely different level.

Misuse of checked exceptions in some cases is a pain point for me too. I'd also add that when Lambdas were added the designers didn't do the work required to solve the issue with checked exceptions there. Which is indeed a shame. Having said that, this is a wide problem in pretty much every language. Exceptions make a lot of sense in terms of performance/flow.

I disagree about finally though. It's a powerful control flow tool that allows us to remove code duplication. No, it doesn't look great. But the alternatives (e.g. Go) look worse.

I don't have prolactinoma but I got tested for it. I had low libido as a man with ED problems, I went to a Urologist and he prescribed a whole bunch of tests which includes checking your Prolactin levels as well as SHBG, FSH, LH,Testosterone, E2 etc.

I suppose an Endocrinologist would run the same tests.. in my case I had Secondary Hypogonadism and was put on HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which resolved my Testostrone issues and libido and improved my sperm count as a nice bonus.

But I digress, the point is that if you suspect any issues, go see a doctor!

Thank you for your detailed comment.

I was hoping that maybe there is some book covering things like the one you described in the longest paragraph of your reply. I'm personally of opinion that such literature would benefit humanity greatly or at least that part that is doing design and programming around parts where networking meets kernels (in general, I'm also interested in non-UNIX kernels) and their internals.

Of course doing research on codebase itself is a potential way to go but I know too well from my experience years ago that it often leads to scratching your head about some parts for weeks without clear or any answer. Good literature that presents practical problems and presents different attempts on solving them has IMHO a good track record of at least decreasing amount of confusion while analyzing such systems. It also "somewhat offloads" community (developers included) from "consulting burden". As sometimes it takes even years to get answer to some technical questions.
