The nature of this PR looks like it’s very LLM-friendly - it’s essentially translating existing code into SIMD.

LLMs seem to do well at any kind of mapping / translating task, but they seem to have a harder time when you give them either a broader or less deterministic task, or when they don’t have the knowledge to complete the task and start hallucinating.

It’s not a great metric to benchmark their ability to write typical code.
Is there another that they're not thinking of? The Concorde was a joint government project.
Different languages speak to different people. I feel the same way about Scala and most other functional languages. To me, they’re fun and all, but I wouldn’t build anything large-scale with them. My problem space is interesting enough that I don’t have to worry about Go being boring.
It does that for all ocean.
No, just that what DeepSeek did is not as valuable as what the first movers did, because it did not advance the state of the art nearly as much. It's a new cheaper way to go from Base LM -> CoT "reasoning" LM. We already had CoT "reasoning" LMs, so while the new cheaper path to get to them is interesting, it's not necessarily groundbreaking either. Also, R1 only works with the "cold start" data that they distilled from o1, so it's not quite clear that it'll ever be able to exceed o1's capabilities. We already know it's much cheaper to distill new, smaller models from large already pretained and well-performing models—in fact, $5M sounds like a very expensive way to do so. So while these new techniques are probably going to have some impact, OpenAI is far from quaking in their boots
> Do you want them to not use the term even when they define the term?

Yes, I do. I think it's a needlessly confusing term to use in stuff intended for public consumption.

For a similar example of the issue, I often get radiology reports in my healthcare provider's portal. My dad is a radiologist and they're still quite scary/bewildering to read - they frequently use various terms of art for "looks fine and normal" that sound terrifying.

That was all fine when the intended audience was other doctors, but these days I can pull them up myself. I at least know enough to not freak out and ask my dad; many don't.

I don't want to see NBC/BBC/NYT articles using the term, and that means being careful with the sources from which they receive their info.

I'm not expecting anywhere near that level of trouble, but man, when the F-16 went supersonic over DC in 2023, my rowhouse seriously rocked. It was a vibration so wildly different than anything I'd felt in a house before, feeling like it was coming from everywhere.

Even if you can muffle that sonic boom somewhat, I'm highly skeptical it's going to be anything but very noticeable & intrusive.

The author obviously wants to critique the machismo culture built into capitalism (which is totally fine!) but he seems to inherently subscribe to the naturalistic fallacy without being aware of it. Thus he feels the need to dismiss the idea of "alpha male" hierarchies in nature as non-existent as a way to dismiss them within our own society. You really don't need to do this and IMO, the flimsy premise of the start of his argument undermines his conclusion for society (which I actually agree with). Just because a certain type of sociological system exists within nature doesn't mean it's one we, as humans, should want for ourselves.
Yes; the scope of censorship over discussing Linux at all vs the scope of censorship of linking to Distro Watch is vastly different.

If Facebook was removing links to an Pro-Catholic website for some reason but still allowed the discussion of Catholicism, Catholic Church groups, etc. You would be daft to claim that FaceBook is banning all Catholics and discussion of thereof.

Well, I cited a canonical paper making the argument you're advancing, so if it's not that, then...

As for the rest of your comment -- oy, talk about a straw man fallacy. There's absolutely nothing I said that requires the false dichotomy you've presented between H0 and H1 (i.e. there are other plausible hypotheses that aren't as extreme as the ones you've presented). Also, I don't "accept" H0. I just can't rule it out.

> H0 should be the most easy explanation, which is a zoonosis that has happened before thousands of times, and for which we have also evidence

Neither hypothesis is easy (i.e. likely). Natural, human-optimized zoonosis is incredibly rare in viruses. Making humanized viruses in a lab, starting from natural viruses, is actually straightforward. But when one of the world centers for doing that kind of work, on very similar coronaviruses, was right there in Wuhan...

You can also do the same thing with the nix package manager and pretty much any language or dependency. Like if you wanted a portable bash-script with imagemagick

#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i bash -p bash imagemagick

Handy for passing quick scripts around. Nothing is quite as portable as a single file like this.
That may be the current hubub,

But how they built on other open concepts like Cold Start + RL + Rejection Sampling etc... is the big thing.

I am not at all connected to whomever this is, but as I am on a "confidential project for a confidential client" it seems to simplify what I would overcomplicate anyway.

Some of us need to improve domain specificity, and are more interested in targeted capabilities.

DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B itself is pretty good to be honest, but it is more aspirational how easy it is to add reasoning to any base model IMHO.

Those of us who remember Simon’s satisficing principle, realize that often complex problems sub-optimal solutions.

We don't need, want or expect some central omniscient and omnipotent AGI, we want tools that are sufficient to solve real world problems.

Obviously having good reliable domain specific CoT for cold start etc... is hard.

But not nearly as hard as hitching the companies success to MS/OpenAI.

While there is a lot of noise...I think some people are missing the forrest for the trees here. Deepseek is more about moving the decision to use OpenAI for some needs from a single source vendor to one of convenience for us.

For those of us who are in the camp that OpenAI was never going to reach their "AGI" claims because of fundamental issues like the frame problem, this is huge.

Ya...we won't be training our own models for some silly budget of ~$5M like the press is claiming.

But we won't have to for some use cases...

I think it will take time and someone on a project with not such a strict NDA to demonstrate just how much this 'completes' things in ways that RAG, functions etc... didn't.

Or I just possibly got lucky with my needs? who knows.

More likely, just not-military, which is the well-established meaning of “civil” in the specific context of aviation.

If you know you're smart enough to start a decent business - don't listen to anyone. Key secret here is that nobody knows what is the right way to business success (not your friends, not warren buffet, not elon musk, nobody).

And also "everyone" is more often than not are dumb and wrong. (few examples: support for hitler, popularity of gaming chairs etc.)

Next thing is that getting make million from 0 is magnitudes harder than make same million from another million (for example your ancestors left you any capital) - it is not a fair game. Being smart is just one of many variables.

Good news is that in the long run, smart usually wins. If you live in free and advanced enough, democratic enough economy - your chances of success grow with time if you're persistent. It's more about endurance, marathon, not how sharp you are at the moment or what cool skills you have.
They mean civil as in "courteous and polite"
I don’t understand the benefit of adding this intermediate component vs just writing frontend code to interact with the APIs you’d otherwise already be calling. An HTTP server with sessions placed between clients and internal systems makes sense and is standard, but the weird callback-style “remote control” system seems completely unnecessary and inefficient to me. I don’t think client logic being married to some backend vs the client itself makes any real guarantees about functionality being maintained either, it just adds a new location where code needs to be changed when something upstream changes.

> something I would have rather not thought about

I mean, you're explicitly choosing to self-host an alternative backend server which isn't affiliated with Bitwarden. You could have used their SaaS, or self-hosted their official backend they provide on GitHub, for free, and which is almost entirely open source (AGPL, they have some small enterprise specific bits such as SSO which are under a commercial license which is still free, just not open source).

But you choose to self-host a random person's project that tries to keep track with Bitwarden APIs and various frontends, on a best effort basis. That's a ton of risk I really wouldn't take with something as sensitive as passwords to everything.
Agreed.

Another example is Microsoft charging extra for enhanced logging. This came to light during the SolarWinds debacle.
What Happens When There Are Fewer Spaces to Park?
Absolutely agree on this.
1. DeepSeek just inspired a LOT of startups to develop their own as you no longer need to be a tech-giant to compete on training.
2. Companies with sensitive info will now buy their own GPUs to run their models locally as the range of application increased (as it did with Llama3)
3. As with 2, new services that were prohibitive with ChatGPT API will spring up. It’s difficult to reliably rent GPUs for services even with enough money, so people will buy more GPUs to host it themselves.

I understand if new CPU/GPU can outperform Nvidia and DeepSeek was developed using another GPU, but this is not the case. Lower requirement for higher performance historically never reduced the need for computational capacity. There is very poor reasoning for this move other than purely “technical” (trading-wise) reasons.
Interesting. In my dealings with younger (and older) kids, thinking of them as little people seems to work well. Little, fully complete people, with many parts dramatically simpler (and more straightforward) than adults.

But then, I also think of adults as glorified chimps. Many parts are somewhat more complex -- though if you look closely enough, you'll see that much of the complexity is more of a veneer than anything deep.

Basic human nature shows through more with kids. Much of human nature is animal nature. Growing up seems to be mostly about setting those impulses against each other and delaying, suppressing, and avoiding the manifestations. In the process, we convince ourselves that we've had earth-shaking fundamental realizations about Truth and Beauty and Morality that lesser beings like children could never comprehend, as we go about our day with a sippy cup of caffeine in one hand, capturing the value that others have created as we lie and deceive to advance our supposedly noble goals, shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the herd.
> The models dwell and draw almost entirely self-referentially from their own reasoning through the entire exchange.

What if, for example, a piece of software is logging your key presses without your knowledge? You could have the best, most secure password but you're typing it into a complex machine which could be doing any number of things. Don't forget that you're human and make mistakes too so it doesn't necessarily have to be malicious; a bad copy paste into a public forum post could hose you.
