One example from today: I had a coding bug which I asked R1 about. The final answer wasn't correct, but adapting an idea from the CoT trace helped me fix the bug. o1's answer was also incorrect.

Interestingly though, R1 struggled in part because it needed the value of some parameters I didn't provide, and instead it made an incorrect assumption about its value. This was apparent in the CoT trace, but the model didn't mention this in its final answer. If I wasn't able to see the trace, I'd not know what was lacking in my prompt, and how to make the model do better.

I presume OpenAI kept their traces a secret to prevent their competitors from training models with it, but IMO they strategically err'd in doing so. If o1's traces were public, I think the hype around DS-R1 would be relatively less (and maybe more limited to the lower training costs and the MIT license, and not so much its performance and usefulness.)
They got their product out.

Who else is there that the average person would know about?
>It feels like we've been tip-toeing in the direction of multi-host Olympics.

I wish they would just pick one place to hold their shenanigans and stay there.

Yes, I hated the bullshit that occured behind the scenes in 2020 Tokyo and hope one of the most cancerous and corrupt organizations ever never shits up Japan again.

My sympathies to any athletes who sincerely just want to play and compete, but the event itself is trash.
This may mean that $3k/task on some benchmarks published by OpenAI are now at slightly lower price tag.

It is possible however that OpenAI was using similar level acceleration in the first place, they’ve just not published the details. And a few engineers left and replicated (or even bested it) in a new lab.

Overall, it’s a good boost, modern software is getting a better fit into new generation of hardware and is performing faster. Maybe we should pay more attention when NVIDIA is publishing their N-times faster ToPS numbers, and not completely dismissing it as marketing.

>> Fewer and fewer cities want to splash hundreds of millions on building stadiums that go to rust in a few years

To me, this is the most important reform the IOC needs -- ensuring that any infrastructure built for a games has an ironclad post-games plan.

If that requires multiple cities, then multiple cities it is.

Atlanta 1996 is a solid example of it done right. Don't budget, spread facilities around, and have a reuse plan. Most of the infrastructure is still in use today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Summer_Olympics#Venues_...

Typically, this goes off the rails when governments bid for games (Sochi, Beijing) and then drastically (10x norms!) the budget for minimal gains.

The president is taking this issue as a power grab. He does not have rights to name things. There is a geological naming board appointed by cabinet heads. The executive order instructs his newly appointed department heads to purge their geological naming boards of any members who may not agree to these names. This is not something that has happened before, and not by design.
The OP misunderstands (perhaps deliberately or for humorous effect) what a co-pilot is. This is telling:

"I learned that I need to stay firmly in the driver’s seat when tackling new tech."

Er, that's pretty much what a pilot is supposed to do! You can't (as yet) just give an AI free reign over your codebase and expect to come back later that day to discover a fully finished implementation. Maybe unless your prompt was "Make a snake game in Python". A pilot would be supervising their co-pilot at all times.

Comparing AIs to junior devs is getting tiresome. AIs like Claude and newer versions of ChatGPT have incredible knowledge bases. Yes, they do slip up, especially with esoteric matters where there are few authoritative (or several conflicting) sources, but the breadth of knowledge in and of itself is very valuable. As an anecdote, neither Claude nor ChatGPT were able to accurately answer a question I had about file operation flags yesterday, but when I said to ChatGPT that its answer wasn't correct, it apologised and said the Raymond Chen article it had sourced wasn't super clear about the particular combination I'd asked about. That's like having your own research assistant, not a headstrong overconfident junior dev. Yes, they make mistakes, but at least now they'll admit to them. This is a long way from a year or two ago.

In conclusion: don't use an AI as one of your primary sources of information for technology you're new to, especially if you're not double-checking its answers like a good pilot.
Elections have consequences
DeepSeek R1 is o1 but free to use, open source, and also distilled on different models, even the ones that could run on your phone so yeah.

> Reader died because people were switching to social media.

Which especially sucks, because its friend-of-a-friend model for making comments visible on shared items was better for discovering interesting people, constructively limiting the social impact of popular posts, reducing the dangers of unintentionally poor posts, and disincentivizing trolling than any social network has implemented since.

For the few people who even knew Reader had a social network—a group which certainly didn't include Google—it was a better social network than any of the ones credited with killing it.
Zero impact is an exaggeration, but what others have pointed out is that there aren't a lot of companies primarily based on AI which are making a profit. Personally I can't think of any.
I’ve seen examples of this being less of an issue when running DeepSeek locally.
The first time I heard about LinkedIn was when I was in university. A lot of students made profiles and would all “endorse” each other, even when they barely knew the other person. The whole thing seemed super silly to me and I didn’t bother to make a LinkedIn profile. Even after university I’ve stayed away from LinkedIn. The only time I see LinkedIn in my life is when people on Reddit are criticizing it. Of course, Reddit is an echo chamber of its own, so I’m not saying that this alone is reason to disregard LinkedIn.

I know that to some LinkedIn is very important. But to me, I’ve managed completely fine. Been able to get work and have jobs without ever having a LinkedIn profile.

When I apply for a job, I provide CV, cover letter and a link to my GitHub profile.

Maybe some of the places I’ve applied to in the past have passed on me for not having a LinkedIn profile included. I wouldn’t know. No one ever said anything about it to me. But they may have filtered out my application for it. Regardless, I have been able to get work and get jobs.
I believe there's a substantive difference between digital art tools like photoshop or illustrator and LLMs. LLMs do not create "art", they create images. Previously, you had to PAY an artist to create art. Now, you pay for an API to create an image loosely based on the specifications you give it. As a result, there is less art in the world.
This makes a lot of sense. It’s just following the model of how cloud services have a separate government focused infrastructure for government use, with appropriate certifications and regulatory requirements met. I don’t understand the comments calling this desperate - it’s what we want American providers to do, to bring the power of AI to government agencies.
While yes the US could be better about freedom of speech and ideas in some areas, it's a pretty wild assertion to say that China of all places has a comparative advantage here.

I've never encountered that, but that sounds like a venue that doesn't want my money anyway.
This is from Ian Lance Taylor,

Why did DeepSeek not kept this for themselves? Is this a Meta style scorched earth strategy?
The problem with email for me is that 99% is of no interest. At least with messages I only need to monitor channels relevant to me and dms.
> You don’t care at all what data the model was trained on? The motivations of the people who trained it?

Working for a news org whose data was used without our consent to give ChatGPT a leg up, yeah I'd care a lot about it. The bottom line though is that nobody is innocent in that regard.

Would a self-respecting organization go all in on Deepskeek R1 without a security audit and a ton of competitive testing against other models? I doubt it. Same way they shouldn't just give all their employees OnePlus or Huwei phones.

I like how the Meta guy put it. This isn't China beating the US in AI, it's "open source" (however these guys define it) beating closed models.

OpenAI broke its promise with the world, which anybody who compares their name with their product can tell you. If open models put a dent in their hegemony it's only good for the rest of the industry.
Yup they dominate mindshare.

And their UI for choosing a domain name is excellent.
This was also visible in earlier versions of Claude and ChatGPT, when the supervisor kicks in after the answer begins generating. Censoring different content, naturally.
No reason to not trust deepseek, once you run it locally.

You can't use it for DoD purposes through...
Hello again, I built Skyhunt because I was tired of wasting hours planning international trips trying to find the best price. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the project or any suggestions for improvement.

Thanks for your time!
> what do you think has a bigger impact on someone’s quality of life: 1) operating a home or 2) generating AI images? [...] I would argue most people would weigh the convenience of a house a lot higher.

To meaningfully compare directly like this, you'd need to choose two things with similar energy usage/carbon footprint. Sure "the convenience of a house" is greater, but a person's usage of an image-generation model also consumes many orders of magnitude less energy.

For a balanced comparison:

* A full year of LLM usage (5 joules per token[0] * 200 tokens per query * 10 queries per day * 365 days per year = 1.014kWh, which by the US's energy mix[1] is about 0.4kg of CO2)

* A single cup of coffee (about 0.4kg of CO2 according to [2])

With that, I think most pepole would gain considerably more utility from the former.

At least in the west, the PAC-12 imploded because it wasn’t a source of income because they bet on their conference specific networks instead of working with the major TV networks. Schools knew they were leaving money on the table and PAC-12 couldn’t do for them what the other conferences could.

The Big 10 hasn’t had 10 schools since 1990, only 3 years after they officially adopted the name.
> Any reason Xcode 2 was chosen? Wouldn't have Xcode 3.2.6 on Snow Leopard but targeting OS X 10.4 and including ppc as an architecture also worked?

I forget exactly why I used Xcode 2.5, but I wanted to do it on Tiger since that OS was the one around the time Xbins started. It probably would've been a bit nicer working in Snow Leopard, but I just chose Tiger.

If you broaden your definition of self-paid adult education, you'll probably find ballroom dance classes, yoga classes, MMA classes, sculpture classes, and things like that.

For the same reason that businesses offload it to OpenAI and the rest: it's not a "core competency".

That, and imagine trying to explain the funding request for that to the residents of the crypt... I mean, the current US Congress.
An artifact depends on the tools used to build it.

This is why we pin versions. Go tool is common sense, allowing for any old tool version in the build chain invites failure.
>in the spirit of celebrating peaceful achievement. Maybe a much smaller take on it would go back to those roots.

It is blasphemous that countries actively waging war or passively engaging in proxy wars or other conflicts (eg: trade wars) get to play in the Olympics.

The first requirement to participating should be that the country is at peace with others, in the literal sense. Yes, this is going to evict like 90% of the world including countries like the US, but this is a philosophical hill worth dying on.
4. Supremacy of the military. Trump has been big on wanting to be supreme over the military, but I don't think he's been as big on making the military the supreme thing in the country.

5. Rampant sexism. Sure, he's sexist, and he says sexist things. The person responsible for keeping all the people around him pulling in the same direction is a woman, though. So are some of his cabinet nominees. So while he's in this direction, I don't think he's there yet.

6. Controlled mass media. Again, he's trying (the lawsuit against the pollster in Iowa is a really bad sign), but he's not there yet, not by a long shot. He arguably is trying for this one, more than the previous two.

7. Obsession with national security. Do you really think most Americans are living in fear of "them out there"? I don't. Migrants who are here, maybe. Crime, maybe. National security? Not really, no. (Unless you lump immigration with national security, which I suppose is defensible.)

12. Obsession with crime and punishment. The police haven't been given virtually unlimited power... at least not yet.

Look, I won't deny that he's trending in the wrong direction on many of these. It's worrying. (The ones I'm not arguing are even more worrying.) But I don't think he's as close as you're making it sound.

Federal employees are being asked who they voted for.

Not sure what this prediction is based on. Sure a further crash is possible. It could also go the other way. We might see OpenAI applying some of the optimization that DeepSeek used and coming out with something amazing.
First graph, okay. Second graph, the wheels come off in spectacular fashion (unless you're from Florida).

Banning books does not ban knowledge. It just makes it a bit more inconvenient. Banning drugs has not stopped people from getting access.
When OpenAI does this, it's for "AI safety."

Show HN: Organize tech debt, team and product feedback on a catalog map
Hey HN! Working on organizing feedback and data that product teams use.

How it works:
-> Components in the catalog have teams assigned as owners;
-> Feedback is mapped into appropriate catalog components;
-> Instead of a messy backlog, everything is organized by product area and feedback type (ideas, tech debt, user feedback);

Right now it accepts manual sources - notes from retrospective + direct catalog entries.

Look into the changes wrought by Henry Maudslay. He changed the world from one where a single threaded screw took a week's work by an apprentice, to one where you could make them with a lathe. He changed the best tolerance from a 10th of an inch to a 10,000th of an inch. He's best known for the first practical screw cutting lathe.

Also see the 3 plate method of Whitworth, who made it possible to make accurate flat surfaces.

Also see the work of Carl Edvard Johansson, the Gage Block system. Without it, Ford couldn't have mass produced the Model T, and life would be completely different.
That was always a risk for justice in calling witnesses.

That has a great overview - this is a new model, but also a distillation. They used new techniques to make it really cheap (comparatively).
If you don't make the fines or whatever substantially more than the profit of the illicit or negligent conduct, it isn't a consequence. It's a budget line-item.

Every regulatory agency in America has been stripped to the bones by decades of budget cuts and never ending accusations of "stifling innovation" and we're shocked now that companies get away with both metaphorical and actual murder.

I don't think "predict doom and gloom" is a fair characterisation. He cations us against assuming the optimistic scenario will unfold ("it's not flawless" to quote the article), and asks us to hedge our bets -- something he has made significant money doing.

Being prudent is appropriate every hour, not twice a day, even if someone who is reckless can be lucky 11 hours of the day.

This was the choice my grandfather made. Luckily, he was still competent enough to be allowed to make his own decision. He was 93 and couldn't see anymore, everything he loved was slowly being taken from him. He stopped all treatments and left the world on his terms.
Secure AWS instances are one thing, having the government use unreliable LLMs for their work is another. I do not want the government using LLMs to make decisions.

It's probably because TUIs are inferior and limited in their abilities compared to GUI or WebUI, so the creators are putting more work into polishing them in what they can deliver, ending in an overall better user experience in their specific area.

Same anecdotal experience. Its definitely an improvement and they have made operational improvements at runtime but I am still concerned they are have over fit for the tests.
(I'm not a Go programmer)

I find this a bit odd. Isn't the idea of the primitive error handling that it is obvious and easy, as in "functions can return multiple results, a popular pattern is to return the good result and the error as two separate nullable values of which exactly one will be not null, so you can check if err == nil."?

If you go with fancy error handling anyway, how is this '?' better than returning a Result and do something like foo().getOr { return fmt.Errorf("Tja: %v", err) }

Lately I discovered that going to basketball games at my Uni is a great time and a great deal (I can buy $6 tickets for my whole party as a staff member, it is $8 for everyone else) I can sit in the front if I want, it's more fun with the band and the cheer squad and the dance team doing entertainment. The facility is great and has accommodation for families with children, who cheer as hard as anybody and add to the atmosphere. It's just great. [1]

Almost all the games they play (Ivy League in the second half of the season) are with teams that are a reasonable bus ride away.

In comparison I'm indifferent to watching NBA or college ball on TV.

[1] I sometimes go to do photography, other times I bring friends and family. I am going to shoot a double header at the school on the other hill next Friday which is unticketed and a smaller facility, I gotta get a spare memory card because I filled my card just the moment the final buzzer rang in the last game.
Yeah I was wondering about that. I assume that local models generate that first version and whatever "rectifies" it on the app doesn't kick in there? (Haven't tried yet myself.)
