I don't really get the comparison.

With 10% of battery I can code for 3 hours. If I compare the result of this activity with the 10% of battery wasted on a single question whose answer probably won't be completely correct, I consider the latter to be excessive, in relative terms, even if I take into account my time cost. Theoretically, if I would need to ask 100 questions to complete one task, I would need to recharge my computer 10 times. This is why I offload the burden of energy usage to a third party such as OpenAI.

BTW I don't drive if I don't have to either, which might make me more sensitive than you to this, comparatively low, energy usage diff.
Essentially 3-4 major improvements.

"DeepSeek-R1 has 670 billion parameters, or variables it learns from during training, making it the largest open-source LLM yet, Ananthaswamy explains. But the model uses an architecture called “mixture of experts” so that only a relevant fraction of these parameters—tens of billions instead of hundreds of billions—are activated for any given query. This cuts down on computing costs. The DeepSeek LLM also uses a method called multihead latent attention to boost the efficiency of its inferences. And instead of predicting an answer word by word, it generates multiple words at once.

The model further differs from others such as o1 in how it reinforces learning during training. While many LLMs have an external “critic” model that runs alongside them, correcting errors and nudging the LLM toward verified answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses a set of rules that are internal to the model to teach it which of the possible answers it generates is best. “DeepSeek has streamlined that process,” Ananthaswamy says.

Another important aspect of DeepSeek-R1 is that the company has made the code behind the product open-source, Ananthaswamy says. (The training data remain proprietary.) This means that the company’s claims can be checked. If the model is as computationally efficient as DeepSeek claims, he says, it will probably open up new avenues for researchers who use AI in their work to do so more quickly and cheaply. It will also enable more research into the inner workings of LLMs themselves."
Sure, that judge is a problem, but I think your metaphor is a bit mal-formed.

In your example you should probably drop the judge, but you should also make a rule saying astrology books aren't a legitimate source of sentence guidance. That's what people are annoyed about re:LLMs. People keep insisting they are a legit source in different situations.

You wouldn't ban them overall, but you do want some kind of society-level taboo against relying on them. You can't just deal with it on the level of people who get fooled into using them.
You can’t buy the gpus individually, and even if you can on a secondary market, you can’t use them without the baseboard, and you can’t use the baseboard without a compatible chassis, and a compatible chassis is full of CPUs, system memory etc. on top of that, you need a fabric. Even if you cheap out and go RoCE over IB it’s still 400gbs hcas, optics and switches

Yea, a node in a cluster costs as much as an American house. Maybe not on its own, but to make it useful for large scale training, even under the new math of deepseek, it costs as much as a house.
It depends on the problem type. If your problem requires math reasoning, deepSeek response is quite impressive and surpasses what most people can do in a single session.
It's worked for Palantir.
Outside the US, third party payment apps are popular, since they often don't require a credit card. But since Apple refuses third parties access to the NFT hardware, those apps almost universally have to use QR payments. It works OK, because most payment terminals have a display with sufficient resolution for a QR code anyway.

We already have tagged template literals in JS (used in Lit web components, for example) which I much prefer. We don't need JSX at all because you can write html`<yourElements/>` and stick regular HTML or custom web components in there and it all just works.

Squarespace advertises a lot too, probably more than GoDaddy nowadays, and they are also a domain registrar.

I am writing some python code to do Order Flow Imbalance analysis from L2 orderbook updates. The language is unimportant: the logic is pretty subtle, so that the main difficulties are not in the language details, but in the logic and handling edge cases.

Initially I was using Claude 3.5 sonnet, then writing unit tests and manually correcting sonnet's code. Sonnet's code mostly worked, except for failing certain complicated combined book updates.

Then I fed the code and the tests into DeepSeek. It turned out pretty bad.
At first it tried to make the results of the tests conform to the erroneous results of the code. When I pointed that out, it fixed the immediate logical problem in the code, introducing two more nested problems that we're not there before by corrupting the existing code. After prompted that, it fixed the first error it introduced but left the second one. Then I fixed it myself, uploaded the fix and asked it to summarize what it has done. It started basically gaslighting me, saying that the initial code had the problem that it introduced.

In summary, I lost two days, reverted everything and went back to Sonnet.

This early behaviour made LinkedIn utterly toxic amongst the tech community in the early days. Nobody using them would be offered a job, as any applicant using LinkedIn would be demonstrating they are clueless (or worse, endorsed this behaviour).

Quite how LinkedIn managed to overcome this and have people trust them (!) I will never be able to understand.

> which may avoid tearing (though I don't see why)

What I meant here is that I didn't see why asynchronous updates may introduce tearing; but my tired brain couldn't quite formulate it properly. And to answer that, it's clear to me know that an update of the pointer position while the pointer sprite is being drawn would introduce a shift somewhere within that sprite, which is, I suppose, the tearing discussed (and not a whole frame tearing).

> I don't know however if the mouse pointer picture is still handled the VESA way, or if GPUs video cards nowadays have a more generic API, or what.

Also, the VESA interface doesn't seem to handle mouse pointers, it's something that was available in the VGA BIOS, to provide a uniform support for this feature, as each vendor most likely did it their own way.

> In a world today, where your a LinkedIn profile is literally essential to your means of livelihood

Several years ago I removed nearly all content from my LinkedIn profile and set it to private. Lo and behold my career has been doing just fine. The rate at which recruiters are reaching out to me hasn't changed one bit. I've also interviewed and gotten offers.

I've always resisted normalizing having any kind of social media account. Whenever there was something going on that "required" a Facebook account, I simply wouldn't participate, and I'd let whoever needs to hear it know that I'm not participating because I don't use Facebook. Whenever I'm at a conference and people ask me for my LinkedIn info, I simply reply that I'm not on LinkedIn, and if they want to get in touch with me they can try sending me an email. Sometimes they stare at me like I just walked out of a space ship, which is fine. If you can't grok that I'm not on LinkedIn, I probably don't have any interest in whoever you are or whatever you're selling.
There are a bunch of theories floating round.

Personally this looks to me like an ego thing: the DeepSeek team are really, really good and their CEO is enjoying the enormous attention they are getting, plus the pride of proving that Chinese AI labs can take the lead in a field that everyone thought the USA was unassailable in.

Maybe they are true believers in building and sharing "AGI" with the world?

Lots of people see this as a Chinese government backed conspiracy to undermine the US AI industry. I'm not sure how credible that idea is.

I saw somewhere (though I've not confirmed it with a second source) that none of the people listed on the DeepSeek papers got educated at US universities - they all went to school in China, which further emphasizes how good China's home-grown talent pool has got.

That's all well and good except that we look out and see all of the actively bad uses being hyped as the way of the future, at untold expense in both dollars and energy. The LLM is just a model that is what it is, bashing it doesn't make sense. People are bashing how it is used, both currently and in prospect.

I feel like error handling in Go is divided between people who have been using the language for a long time, and those who are new to it. If you're used to exceptions, and languages with some kind of '?' operator, typing `if err != nil` all the time is probably excruciating. They seem to be the most vocal in the survey about wanting beloved error handling features from their favorite languages.

Once you've been using the language for awhile, you begin to dislike the elaborate system of rugs other languages have to sweep errors under. Errors in Go are right there, in your face, and undeniable that the operation you are doing can be faulty somehow. With good error wrapping, you can trace down exactly which of these `if err != nil` blocks generated the error without a stack trace. If it bothers you that much, you can always make a snippet / macro for it in your editor.
You want to lose those that break the law.

The Privilege Gap in Justice: A Tale of Two Systems
How do we address the glaring inequities in the justice and carceral system?

This article about Maury Blackman, a tech CEO suing to erase his arrest from Google search results, highlights the stark privilege gap in our system. Imagine if Blackman weren’t a wealthy CEO with access to high-powered lawyers, but instead a Black man—navigating a system often designed to trap people without resources rather than liberate them.

I’m sharing this because I’ve seen firsthand the barriers faced by returning citizens. It’s clear that the same ingenuity, innovation, and problem-solving that have generated billions in revenue across industries could be directed toward fixing these systemic issues.

Can we, as a community, apply our creativity and determination to support returning citizens and others impacted by the justice system? I believe we can, and I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and solutions.

What actionable steps can we take to close the privilege gap and create meaningful systemic change? Let’s discuss.

Supremacy of the military: his recently confirmed SecDef has publicly supported carpet bombing and explicitly endorsed the killing of innocent civilians on multiple occasions.

Sexism: Seriously? Not even going to comment on this one. If you don't see it, nothing will make you change your mind.

Controlled mass media: Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, and TikTok are now all now definitively controlled by party loyalists. This is where most of the non-seniors in the country get their news these days.

Obsession with national security: immigration should absolutely be part of this and it's one of the defining topics of the administration thus far.

Obsession with crime and punishment: Trump has himself repeatedly stated that he is the "LAW AND ORDER" candidate (oftentimes via tweet, in all caps). This would be funny given his conviction on 34 felony counts, but I don't really consider anything about the administration to be funny anymore. Also, "The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism": Republicans do this all the time, especially if it involves white officers and Black victims. "Blue lives matter", etc.
No, I'm sorry that's not true. That's absolutely illegal. Everyone who works in the federal government knows this. If just one person was confronted by their manager and asked who they voted for, that person would already be on the news screaming, and the union would be having a meltdown.

AIUI the connection to Google here is that Google acquired the rights to Pebble OS (when Google acquired FitBit (after FitBit had previously purchased the rights to Pebble OS from Pebble Technology before it closed)).

As Google has now released the code under an Open Source license, Eric (with no connection to Google) is now seemingly planning to build something utilizing the newly opened source.

(Further context is that some other people who formerly worked for Pebble do now work for Google and were involved in the process of getting Google to release the Pebble OS source under an Open Source license.)

This situation has improved over the last 9+ years or so. I agree that's where things started and I felt much the same way at the time.

That said, I still strongly dislike that the Go ecosystem conflates a library's repo URL with it's in-language URI. Having `github.com` everywhere in your sourcecode just ignores other use-cases for dependency management, like running an artifactory in an enterprise setting. My point being: there's still room for improvement.

This essay is decent workplace leadership advice.

The connection to wolf pack social dynamics is very thin.
I think in part it is that the flawed study might actually be relevant to them because of the flaw. It studied captive wolves in an unnaturally constrained (and therefore competitive) environment, and that is how some people feel a lot of the time.

Trying to be the alpha in such a situation, so they can look down at the others and feel better, instead of doing anything to try actually improve the world, is an unhealthy reaction, but one I can at least understand.

Trying to be an “alpha” irrespective and create that sort of situation for others, on the other hand, is rather despicable.

Another factor in the longevity of alpha/beta/other designations is that they don't only come from that study (and those that followed it, or it referenced). The terms were used elsewhere both in science and fiction (and, specifically, in well known science fiction such as Huxley's “Brave New World” which pre-dates the publication of Schenkel's infamous wolf study by a decade and a half).

For US bidders, I've heard people say that it's good to have a bunch of colleges nearby, because they can be built-in Reuters. You can see this in the list of Atlanta venues, and I've heard it pointed out in potential bids by Boston and Philadelphia. I'm not sure if this holds elsewhere since the connection between sports and education is stronger in the US than other places.

And it's not obvious from the venue list for Atlanta, but Centennial Olympic Stadium is now on its second round of reuse - it was reconfigured for the Atlanta Braves baseball team after the Olympics, and now Georgia State uses it for football after the Braves moved out to the suburbs.
