You've just given me the heuristic, and told me the graph -- you haven't said A* is a bad model, you've said it's exactly the correct one.

However, transformers do not sit on a "knowledge graph", since the space is not composed of discrete propositions set in discrete relationships. If it were, then P(PrevState|NextState) = 0 would obtain for many pairs of states -- this would destroy the transformers ability to make progress.

So rather than 'deviation from the truth' being an accidental symptom, it is essential to its operation: there can be no distinction-making between true/false propositions for the model to even operate.

> making fatal logical errors such as saying "P" and "!P"

Since it doesn't employ propositions directly, how you interpret its output in propositional terms will determine if you think it's saying P&!P. This "interprerting-away" effect is common in religious interpretations of texts where the text is divorced from its meaning, a new one substituted, to achieve apparent coherence.

Nevertheless, if you're asking (Question, Answer)-style prompts where there is a cannonical answer to a common question, then you're not really asking it to "search very far away" from its inlined historical data (the ersatz knowledge-graph that it does not possess).

These errors become more common when the questions require posing several counterfactual scenarios derived from the prompt or otherwise have non-cannonical answers which require integrating disparate propositions given in a prompt.

The prompt's propositions each compete to drag the search in various directions, and there is no constraint on where it can be dragged.
What kind of standard is disproportionate impact?

Do not build an AI system that discovers the best way to target men to get a prostate exam, or the elderly to enroll in a program that may benefit them?

Sounds a lot like ECN (RFC 3168) which was specified in 2001.
Because Americans glorified meat consumption back when the industrial revolution happened. Meat was traditionally was a rich person food. Once meat prices plummeted, if you were "someone" you ate meat. It became a status symbol.

You can see it in TV advertisements too. Once meat consumption took off in the US there was a proliferation of antidiarrheals, antacids, and other medications to deal with the symptoms of a high meat diet. You can see it on TV advertisements. Kind of interesting.

Even today, a high meat diet is a status symbol in the US.

It’s because prominent people with large followings are confusing the terms on purpose. Yann LeCun of Meta and Clem Delangue of Hugging Face constantly use the wrong terms for models that only release weights, and market them to their huge audiences as “open source”.

Because hard drives have a limited lifespan. If you buy the drive expecting it to last 5 years, and it's already been used for 1 year, that means you aren't getting what you paid for.

Furthermore, for the customer, "the food might cost more than the freezer." Meaning, the work of changing the drive, restoring from backup, ect, ect, might cost more than the drive. Thus, it's "worth it" to expect a new drive.

"The food might cost more than the freezer." IE, a few years ago I bought a chest freezer for $150, and put $500 worth of food in the freezer. If the freezer died prematurely, I'm out more than the value of the freezer due to lost food. It doesn't matter if the manufacturer will ship me a new freezer for free.

Edit 2: I have a NAS in my basement, with drives paired in RAID. If a drive dies under warranty, will it be replaced with an identical drive? If the replacement is "equal or better," I'll have to pay to replace the other drive, because RAID drives should be identical. Likewise, replacing the drive is "time" to me: The time to contact the company, the time to open up the NAS, the time to wait for the new drive to be restored, the time to replace the other drive...

Sure, I don't disagree. I fully understand the open-weights folks looking for a word to communicate their approach and its benefits, and I support them in doing so. It's just a shame they picked this one in - and that's giving folks a lot of benefit of the doubt - a snap judgement.

> Maybe we can have FOSS LLMs vs open-source ones, like we do with software licenses.

Why not just call them freeware LLMs, which would be much more accurate?

There's nothing "hardcore" or "zealot" about not calling these open source LLMs because there's just ... absolutely nothing there that you call open source in any way. We don't call any other freeware "open source" for being a free download with a limited use license.

This is just "we chose a word to communicate we are different from the other guys". In games, they chose to call it "free to play (f2p)" when addressing a similar issue (but it's also not a great fit since f2p games usually have a server dependency).
I don't ever use it for fire and forget, but I've been wondering how well that might work in small side projects where hidden bugs aren't a big concern. Like using a fire and forget to spin up a small javascript game. But never in production code that I might get a 2am Saturday incident call on.

Thanks for your perspective! I completely agree AI shouldn’t replace human creativity. My focus is on AI assisting founders by understanding their brand and tone, providing structured drafts with trend insights, and handling scheduling so they can focus on strategy.

How do you see a tool like this automating the process so solo founders can stay present online while focusing on strategy and other priorities?

It is basically describing a wishlist where you can pass arbitrary sql as source for your "main" sql via valid sql itself without resolving to dynamic sql generation - presumably with support for type checks etc. Basically a level above a custom sql generator.

Notwithstanding the fact that no database supports the described approach, this combined with flexibility of sql itself could give rise to many convoluted setups. Someone builds arbitrary nesting on top of this or does complex conditional constructs - suddenly you have doubts about what is the actual sql that will be produced/executed. It is not like you can write a unit test and attach a debugger to the sql to see whats going on within the nested levels. Redirecting to temporary tables and print based debugging is only available for procedural sql which is not the target here.

What I meant by "mainly a view to view, filter and aggregate data" is that we should keep those core actions as simple as possible. Move the complexity to the application logic written in whatever language - then atleast you'll be able to test/troubleshoot it much better and gain from the existing mature approaches/tooling to do such things. Support for such things is grossly underdeveloped for sql and it gets hairy real fast when it comes to building layers with sql.
It probably counts pretty much anyone on a newer iPhone/Mac (https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/iphone/iph00fd3c8c2/io...) and Windows/Bing. Plus all the smaller integrations out there. All of which can be migrated to a new LLM vendor... pretty quickly.

I wonder what the direct user counts are.
Would adding a single GPU help with prompt processing here? When I run a llama.cpp GPU build with no layers offloaded prompt processing is still way faster as all the matrix multiplies are done on the accelerator. The actual memory bound inference continues to run on the CPU.

Since tensor cores are so fast you still come out ahead when you send the weights over PCIE to the GPU and return the completed products back to main memory.
What would the hypothesis even be? "If we stop providing aid, will people die?" That's outrageous and generously gives them the benefit of the doubt that they're being ignorant rather than greedy.

This "paradox" is being cited everywhere, and while it might apply to AI, people are wrongly using it to justify why nvidia should have a $3.6T or greater valuation.

People are arguing that DeepSeek is a bull case for Nvidia, not bear.

Nvidia being worth $3.6T is a different topic. People think DeepSeek should have reinforced that valuation or even increased it, not lower it.

Imagining that nothing is your fault is a nice way to avoid any uncomfortable feelings of accountability.

Unfortunately, your family, friends, and bosses aren’t going to be convinced when you try to explain that nothing is actually your fault.
If using data violating some ToS taints the model trained on that data, then all of OpenAI's models are tainted by the millions of ToS'es they broke.
But whats the remedy in that case? Being banned from the service maybe, but no court is going to force a "return" of the data, so DeepSeek can't use it. It's uncopyrightable.
And in 2025 and onwards, they're getting both?

Click bait headline. Nothing was proven about open source as the future. "To gain a foothold in Western markets, DeepSeek had to open-source its models." This is an opinion, not the only solution. DeepSeek could have remained proprietary just as easily. The bias of the author becomes clear at the end when he starts to promote his own open source company. Everyone has an agenda.
CPU-only is, very unfortunately, infeasible for reasoning models. This setup would be great for deepseek v3 or (more fittingly) the 405B llama 3.1 model, but 6-7 tokens per second on a reasoning model is 100% getting (well) into seconds-per-token territory if you consider only the final answer.

(You don’t have to take it from me: if CPU were good enough, AMD’s valuation would be 100x its current value.)
If free will doesn't exist then why are we talking about changing the environment? It's not like we can _choose_ to do so, after all.

As a company I’d be terrified to be tied to his brand in any way. I also suspect the primary use of this may end up being scams, which seems like a really bad market to get into.

Now not only can you fake having cancer or whatever, you can ask for donations in-app! Or let people help you in your fight against $EVIL_THING by donating to your cause (no matter how real or not) without leaving the site. Or you can just peddle your new sponsor $WONDERFUL_THING.

If it’s not primarily used for scams, seems likely to turn the platform into a big begging space. Before you had to convince people to go to IndieGoGo or your site or whatever.

I know this has always been his dream. I just don’t see a likelihood of it making anything better. And I’d say that for any social network. Maybe Meta hasn’t done it because they realized that would likely be the case?

Yes and no. Intelligence scaling with compute makes sense so I doubt the advantage of closed models on large compute clusters will ever truly go away.

But that doesn’t mean smaller models aren’t useful.

China isn't meaningfully communist. In general them stealing our jobs is probably a good thing on the whole.

It's common for terms to have a more specific meaning when combined with other terms. "Open source" has had a specific meaning now for decades, which goes beyond "you can see the source" to, among other things, "you're allowed to it without restriction".

Totally agree. But prompting debate or even further thought isn’t the point of the meme.
David Sedaris: people who take selfies, I'd sooner masturbate in public
"Run fewer tests!", as the article mentions, is a great idea, but the existing ways of doing this are suboptimal.

Failing fast usually stops at the first failed test, and provides a quick binary pass/fail signal (especially if tests are ordered based on historical failure rates). The downside is losing information if there would have been multiple failures. If you have multiple cycles of failure->fix bug->push PR->different failure->fix new bug->push PR, that can wipe out any time savings.

Running specific suites that are subsets of all tests cuts down on the number of tests run, at the cost of both under- and over-testing, as well as setting up and maintaining the suites. E.g., under-testing is when a relevant test wasn't in the suite you ran, over-testing is when you run a test that cannot be affected by your recent code changes.

----

Much better is to use "Test Impact Analysis" (TIA). In short, statically analyze the code (using file dependencies, program dependency graph, coverage, etc) and skip all tests that you can prove are irrelevant. The savings depends on the dependency layout of your code, and the size and nature of your PR, but it can be really high, as much as 90% for a small PR with a well-structured code base.

MS pioneered TIA a couple decades ago, but outside MS/Azure, it's surprisingly not that common, despite some major advantages. I know of the occasional test plugin doing it, and one dead startup (YourBase), but that's it.

If anyone's interested in such a thing for Python, I'm launching a tool soon for it: https://getspdr.dev.

His character is relevant to the discussion. He cheats. He lies. He steals. He rapes. He shirks responsibility. But he has made a lot of money. Like the $30 billion in bribes he took 2 weeks ago. He is a great buinessman but that is not relevant to the discussion. Reread what the origanal poster wrote to see this. It was about his character and how we can judge the future by his past deeds.

I've done this (not thoroughly by any means) with OpenSnitch on the Ubuntu machine I have ollama installed on running the 32b R1 weights. No network traffic.

I don't know if that compares to an AI model, where the most significant portions are the data preparation and training. The code DeepSeek released only demonstrates how to use the given weights for inferencing with Torch/Triton. I wouldn't consider that an open-source model, just wrapper code for publicly available weights.

I think a closer comparison would be Android and GApps, where if you remove the latter, most would deem the phone unusable.
I have for many years helped set up some elderly folks for web access. Since they had less powerful PCs and were familiar with Windows, I used IceWM because it was light and I could make it look like Win98. That took a good deal of configuring, though. As their computers got better, I shifted to Xfce for several years, and have now moved to LXQt. I don't try very hard to make it look like Windows anymore, partly because Windows has become such a mess and partly because I have less energy. If I really wanted a system to look like Classic Windows, I would probably still use Xfce with the XFE tools.
As an actual FOSS developer: they didn’t open source it.

But I was merely adding the missing context using the (sorry) lingua Franca of AI.
I guess one way to avoid this would be only to buy drives that were released recently; a drive that first shipped in Dec 2024 can't be five and a half years old!
