There is a lot of discussion here about IP theft. Honest question, from deepseek's point of view as a company under a different set of laws than US/Western -- was there IP theft?

A company like OpenAI can put whatever licensing they want in place. But that only matters if they can enforce it. The question is, can they enforce it against deepseek? Did deepseek do something illegal under the laws of their originating country?

I've had some limited exposure to media related licensing when releasing content in China and what is allowed is very different than what is permitted in the US.

The interesting part which points to innovation moving outside of the US is US companies are beholden to strict IP laws while many places in the world don't have such restrictions and will be able to utilize more data more easily.

I haven't tried Zed. I looked into it, but there was some reason I decided it wasn't for me. I want to say it was that they seemed focused on LLMs, but it's been a while so I forget exactly what it was that I didn't like about it when I researched.
The JVM itself is incredible, all the advantages of a fully native language with nearly none of the downsides, while being basically "third place" in speed behind C/CPP, and maintaining a gap in performance between the next closest competitors. The JVM also can do party tricks that no other language can with instrumentation and runtime class definitions.

I certainly appreciate the amount of R&D Oracle is investing into the Java Virtual Machine. While I use the open source version of the JVMs, I also wouldn't mind also kicking some cash into the back into the devpool. Business with Oracle does seem to be a bit of a poison pill unfortunately. Leaves us "small budget" firms in a pickle. We know the ecosystem needs funding, but the option to engage Big Red is not enticing.
Passing data through an AI filter for "training" is a different thing (legally and ethically) from publishing the output.
Presumably Oracle is playing the VMware playbook - less customers paying more for a suite of enterprise tools.
If the distributor is dealing with new and refurb stock, I wouldn't be surprised if the refurb stock is being sourced from a more questionable supply chain.

Just speculation on my part, but I'm going to guess that something like this happened: old HDDs were removed from a DC, sent to a recycler, and the recycler sold the HDDs to a sketchy refurbisher that wipes SMART data. A supplier buys from the refurbisher, and the distributor buys the refurbished HDDs (without doing proper due diligence on the supplier or verifying the stock they were receiving). There's a mix-up between new and refurbished stock in the distributor's warehouse, which then results in various retailers receiving these bad refurbished HDDs.

Alternatively, the distributor went through unofficial/grey market channels to source these "new" HDDs. IMO, this veers into malice. No reputable distributor would gamble their reputation on sourcing new components via unofficial channels, as the risk of getting burned with counterfeits is high these days.

The interesting thing is that the death of individual responsibility didn't make people (in aggregate) any happier.

It could have, or you could imagine a world where it could have, but the kids and teens are (apparently) reporting that they're more miserable than ever.

I think the goal was to remove shame, which seems like noble enough a goal. But it hasn't helped. Can we come up with a way to say, as a society, "whatever it is may not be your fault, but you're still the only one who can do anything about it and you might be better off if you view it through that lens"?
If it's impossible to do it legally, then they shouldn't be able to do it. Violating one person's rights is illegal, but violating a billion's rights for profit is fine?

I'm in support of them being able to do it, but the right avenue is by working and lobbying hard to change antiquated copyright laws. Being able to disregard copyright only if you have enough billions of dollars on hand is the worst outcome. It's literally laws that only apply to the poor.

I was one of those that really felt like Runes was going to ruin svelte. But after working with it on a small team for a month now, I can see the benefits. We previously had a lot of devs confused with `$:` and other reactive issues. It had always made perfect sense to me but I have to admit, it was a bit magical which was apparently too much for some. With the runes stuff I've seen it click with people in ways it didn't previously. I did like the elegance of the old syntax but I'll take the explicitness of runes if it gets my team on board and causes fewer issues.

Maybe even video conferences will use "Polish" to portray a recreated lifelike sophisticated avatar with real time grammar correction. When folks finally do meet in real life, they discover a socially awkward, an illiterate or tactless boor instead of the suave intellect portrayed by the AI.

Please forgive my comment, I didn't have any polish for it. LOL

My experience leans more to the Sold a Story line. Schools were quite active in not teaching phonics. To the point that I am meeting people with the absurd notion that "English is not a phonetic language."

It was frustrating to see the rubric used in some schools. My kids with amazing memory could ace some readings, but only because they memorized the story. To the point that some of the teachers were confused that my kid could fully read back some books to them with perfect recall, but seemed lost if given a new book.

I've been seeing this extend to math. We seem to not be teaching how to read equations. They are things to be computed. With the best many can do is to point to it and say "that is the equation."
I interviewed for a consulting role circa 2019 where the company audited models of finanical companies that used their models to make lending decisions.

A large portion of the interview touched statistical inference as it related to ML, specifically how it related to simple neural nets up to deep learning vs classical modeling. The answer I gave aligned with their expectations, which was that models used in lending should not be black box and should be able to quantify which features led to the prediction/output and how much weight they contributed. This was specifically done to address potential discrimination lawsuits.

I have a hard time believing any company that rents, lends, etc. would employ a black box for decisioning. Both private and public lawyers would sue them into oblivion immediately.
Such a perfect article title, but wasted on clickbait.

If the point of this metric is to gauge how well US schools are teaching literacy, we should only include people who went through the US school system. Which means we should exclude immigrants, both literate and illiterate, from the reporting.

They scraped literally all the content of the internet without permissions. And I won't even be surprised if they scraped the output of other LLMs as well.
I, for one, abhor the idea of megacorps running models and AI as a service as they do now. If nothing else, the internet proved to us that an absolute gold mine of technological value can and will be enshittified to the point of unusability when it is cornered by Big Tech. I shudder to think of models trained specifically to convince people to buy things--and I am looking directly at Big Tech's advertising model as one of the worst possible incubators for this technology.

An unbelievably bad faith take. The original story uses CDC as their source of information. If you're willing to accept that and blame it on the jab, then you have to accept that stats showing no significant change using the same data source.
It is OpenAI that discredits themselves when they say that each new model is the result of hundreds of USD millions in training. They throw this around as it is a big advantage of their models.

Hmm, let’s see—it looks like an easy legal defense.

DeepSeek could simply admit, "Yep, oops, we did it," but argue that they only used the data to train Model X. So, if you want compensation, you can have all the revenue from Model X (which, conveniently, amounts to nothing).

Sure, they then used Model X to train Model Y, but would you really argue that the original copyright holders are entitled to all financial benefits derived from their work—especially when that benefit comes in the form of a model trained on their data without permission?
I have yet to see the finger pointed at the growing anti-education policies being pushed by the right but that seems like a worthy area of study. States that are now leaning on vouchers are starving public schools in favor of privates.
Yes he's getting more unpopular by the day. Polls show his popularity among the American population is plummeting, according to CNN analyst Harry Enten.

Enten said Tuesday on Erin Burnett OutFront that Musk's net favorability rating in January had dropped to -13 points. This was down from -3 points before the election and a sharp fall from his +29 rating in 2016.

An Associated Press-NORC poll published last week found that 52 percent of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of him, compared with 36 percent with a favorable opinion. This marks a decline from a 10-point negative rating the previous month.

Of course like everything else it is very partisan... , a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that Musk still enjoys widespread support among Republicans, with 75 percent of Republican respondents saying they viewed him favorably compared to 90 percent of Democrats viewing him unfavorably.

Friendly reminder that China publishes twice as many AI papers as the US[1], and twice as many science and engineering papers as the US.

China leads the world in the most cited papers[2]. The US's share of the top 1% highly cited articles (HCA) has declined significantly since 2016 (1.91 to 1.66%), and the same has doubled in China since 2011 (0.66 to 1.28%)[3].

China also leads the world in the number of generative AI patents[4].

Teacher here working in public institutions. ESSER I, II, and III (the funding you speak of) remains a large chip on my shoulder.

The problem with education is a lack of funding. Many of the funds you speak of expired without use, and another 13-20 billion is set to expire this year.

What happened? Schools cut staff hard during the pandemic. At my particular school, faculty and staff were laid off in droves or accepted furloughs (20-60%) to keep their role at severely reduced pay. Among the fired were grant managers, the people who figure out how to use ESSER funds. When these huge windfalls (ESSER) came in, it also came with restrictions on how to use the funding. Unfortunately nobody at my school knew how to navigate the process anymore. The school tried to hire people back, but nobody applied because who wants to be underpaid working at a failing school that runs more rounds of layoffs than a major tech company?

It is now the end of ESSER. My school is $2 million in the hole, they are about to cut another 25% of staff (including me), and they spent only a tiny amount of the allocated funds because they fired their grant manager in 2021. My salary has already been cut $5,000. What little they figured out how to spend was used trying (and largely failing) to renovate our decaying and crumbling buildings. Those buildings have broken HVAC, networks, outdated teaching equipment, and burnt out projectors. Not exactly an inspiring teaching environment.

Around this time I was also involved in a startup providing online language and reading tools (Bamboo Learning). During ESSER we secured contracts with major school districts (Los Angeles, Rochester NY, Arizona, Texas). Something to the tune of 50,000-150,000 licenses. All of them trying to burn the ESSER funds. They couldn't figure out how to access the money and asked us to grant the licenses now and they'd pay us later. We couldn't afford that, and our investors wanted to see income before moving us into a Series B. We starved out in 2023 and closed before any of the districts figured out ESSER.

Admin is a common finger to point at, "we pay them too much money!", and yes I do not have positive opinions of any admin beyond my immediate dean. However the problem with ESSER isn't bloated admin, it's educators leaving enmass to work for literally anyone else.

Extremely bleak, yes, and it isn't set to get any better. However while the broad public argues over some nebulous problem, our schools will fail and close.

Either way, Im looking forward to February's "Who's Hiring" thread.
You're right. Pre-signed URLs can’t be revoked once issued, but one way to mitigate the risk is by setting a short expiration time when generating them. For example, if the URL is only valid for 5-10 minutes, it remains secure, and the risk of misuse is minimal.

The thesis at the time was that through engagement and free trade we could gradually (over decades) transform China into something closer to a free-market multiparty liberal democracy. That policy obviously didn't work — in fact it has been a complete and utter failure — but even in retrospect it wasn't completely crazy or stupid. It could have at least partially worked if someone other than Xi Jinping had replaced Hu Jintao. Unfortunately a lot of major geopolitical trends come down to random luck and unpredictable individual personalities.

Now we have to pivot and focus on containment in Cold War II.

Just the whole virus.

Let's imagine for a moment that the antigen produced by the vaccine was the exact one that does cause all of these symptoms. Even in this hypothetical world, only the whole virus can cause long term symptoms, because only it can replicate itself and persist.

The vaccine expresses itself once, and is gone. All that's left after a few days is the immune system's memory, no different than any other antigen.

There is no mechanism for the body to chronically begin to create vaccine spike proteins after receiving the vaccine.

There is however a mechanism for the body to attribute any random real or imagined symptom to something they heard about and think sounds right.
