I really appreciate your empathy here. Nobody has the same biological factors nor the same hormones, so expecting everyone to have the same drive to consume a vice is just wrong. But at the same time, there is nuance here. Calorie restriction is hard work, sometimes there's not an easy way to do something and knuckling down is the only way to achieve it.

But I don't know where that balance is, between empathy and tough love, but it's definitely a spectrum. Me personally, I'd prefer to fall on the side of too much empathy.

On your orthogonal subject, I had post-SSRI libido side effects (still highly recommend SSRIs, I'd rather have a low libido and alive than the alternative), without symptoms of ED, which is really hard to treat in men. I had good luck finding a doctor willing to write me a script for PT-141, and it was fantastic for me.
It’s a mystery to me why Meta / Facebook failed to integrate native payments into their products. They had 10 years and carte blanche to do it, but nothing happened. And what happened to Libra ?
i think it's insider trading, but not about deepseek, deepseek is never the main cause

deepseek v2 showed effeciency months ago, and nothing happened, there's also nothing happened after v3 and r1 release

the insider info is about when will Wall Street stop pushing and squeezing the market and start harvesting, and, IMO, this will happen anytime after rotation of ruling parties

i don't know if the similar scene happened before in the US, but this happened elsewhere, the rulling party with connected market makers and puppet central bank, push the market to highest and let it freely fall after rotation

nancy definetly know what the timing is

Just some nonsense, but if I’m right, it won’t take too long to witness it happen.
People have a right to know, in advance of an action, whether the AG or DOJ will wish to prosecute it. If the AG or DOJ haven't made their position clear, you should be able to ask, and they will give a clear answer.

That is an extremely basic rule of civilized governance. You can't wordplay around it.

This is not the entire legal system, but it is a critical part of it.
I think they had the advantage of being ahead of the law in this regard. To my knowledge, reading copywritten material isn't (or wasn't illegal) and remains a legal grey area.

Distilling weights from prompts and responses is even more of a legal grey area. The legal system cannot respond quickly to such technological advancements so things necessarily remain a wild west until technology reaches the asymptotic portion of the curve.

In my view the most interesting thing is, do we really need vast data centers and innumerable GPUs for AGI? In other words, if intelligence is ultimately a function of power input, what is the shape of the curve?
The odd thing is that SMR may actually improve performance for many mainstream workloads because it turns random access writes to sequential writes. Similar techniques are used in software for write-heavy workloads (e.g. cache helps with reads more than writes, only helps with writes if they are battery backed and it can help a lot of if writes are sequentialized)

This is why WD figured they could get away with it, but it's a shame what it does if you're rebuilding your ZFS array (if they'd actually talked to customers they might have find a lot of people who buy big drives are ZFS heads!)

Myself I had a security camera set up to monitor my "cat room" last summer when I was trying to gentle a feral cat, I am thinking of pointing it at the driveway and monitoring it with ZoneMinder. ZoneMinder wants its own volume to write to, I am thinking of putting in a spare Intel SSD (superior, though review sites never told you) for that purpose, it's not like I need to store terabytes worth of video from it.
To be honest, no. This is the natural evolution of a project that needs a huge amount of data and so on.

For me it's more suspicious the "project Stargate" than this one feature.
Yeah blame the crowds of newbies calling llama open source bc it was free after being leaked.
So a 14 km blast radius it seems.
The future of LLMs is shared research and that's the part I really like.
It's ok, in my opinion, if not everything is shared, but this is too important to be in one company.
A gay Treasury secretary is not much surprising and even less substantial.

Bush before 2004 with little controversy appointed several gay people. By 2014 moderate Republicans accepted gay soldiers and civil unions. Trump's 1st administration argued gay people could be fired for being gay. And failed to persuade 2 of 5 Republicans on the Supreme Court

there seems to be an error in the headline – Cali is a city in Colombia, but the article is about California?
The last thing we need is for California to keep adding more regulations, as CA’s incredibly bloated government has for a couple decades, and irresponsibly killing American prospects in the race for technology superiority. Rob Bonta is already a bad AG for his repeated blatant violation of constitutional rights. If this headline is truly his stance, he needs to go, and immediately. We have no time as a nation to tolerate people like him at this critical time.
You can revert this if you unlock your bootloader:

Of course, I would just advise to switch to LineageOS directly, since Google has stopped providing security updates for the Pixel 4a already in August 2023. I've run LineageOS for years on the Pixel 4a and it has worked pretty much perfectly for me:

I've been already using that exact service in Summer 2023 in both the US and Europe (Bullit, via Sklyo and using Echostar/Terrestar satellites, I believe). It's possible that that was using pre-release specifications, though.
Not here, here we lick the boot of sama to get crumbs for our startups ;-)
Sorry, what I mean is: why would I use my rocket and nuke to divert an asteroid years in advance, when I can drop an 8MT nuke on you directly in 30 minutes with much more accurate targeting?

One possible reason is plausible deniability, but that goes away if we have a good asteroid defense system with an emphasis on early detection.
Why does everything needs to be pro EU or anti EU. Yes, consumer privacy is more protected in EU. And yes it has directly caused EU R&D budget to become significantly smaller. And yes it has led to ad revenue decrease and created more problem for small companies who can't use non targeted ad.

If you are arguing against any of these, for which there are lot of data I think you are not up for discussion.
The fact that you want to know what I think it says about you says a lot about you.
Probably because companies buy Nvidia GPUs training and then use them for inference. Dual use.

Not to mention there’s little real world evidence that AMD is better at inference speed not cost/inference over Nvidia.
Not sure I agree with your premise, but what exactly are they going to ban?

They can stop DeepSeek doing various things commercially I guess, but stopping Americans using their ideas is simply impossible and stopping use of their source or weights would be (likely successfully) challenged under the first amendment.

There is no law against simply destroying trillions of dollars of shareholder value.
It's not even "can". You have to use your own software to run it. DeepSeek hasn't published anything other than the model weights.
How does the enclosure kill reliability?
That’s totally reasonable. And I know that’s a goofy hill to die on, when it’s otherwise architecturally beautiful.

If you haven’t baked bread before and want a great starting recipe, try Jim Laney’s no-knead bread.

Some tips:

1. You can halve the amount of salt. (1 bakers’ percent of salt is plenty. I don’t know why most recipes call for 2%.)

2. Active dry yeast is obsolete, but that doesn’t stop it from being prominently sold in grocery stores. Get instant yeast instead. SAF Red or SAF Gold are excellent choices. Instant yeast will work in a recipe written for active dry yeast, but active dry yeast may not work in a recipe written for instant yeast.

3. Get a scale and use it.

4. You don’t actually need King Arthur Bread Flour, but you should use a high quality bread flour. I experimented once (quite a while ago), and IIRC Gold Medal worked well and Pillsbury was okay. King Arthur does make a consistent product, which is nice.
Agreed, but the "connotations don't match" is mostly because the folks who chose to call it open source wanted the marketing benefits of doing so. Otherwise it'd match pretty well.
Survival comes first, while evidence-based, official, one-size-fits-all approvals do not come into existence until a large enough statistical samples are collected. Chicken and egg dilemma of its own.

P.S. People are preparing for WW III with a far greater enthusiasm now, imho. Which is sad.
IIRC the main difference for WD was how it reacts to errors. Consumer drives will spend minutes to retry rw operations. Surveillance drives will mostly ignore errors as it's more important to have some footage than none. And NAS drives will immediately report the errors.
Isn't DeepSeek simple/small enough you can run it locally?
CL is not particularly functionally oriented. Many things like this are absent (or present, in some cases).
No, this is obviously an illegal scam.
I especially like how he quoted Napoleon or something framing himself as the heart of revolution and Deep Seek as a child of the revolution only to get a response from some random guy "It's not that deep bro. Just release a better model."

Do you have any long studies you can point to? Let’s go very short. 5 years or more?

The “The Science” crowd is so perplexing. You can’t believe in the upside in just faith. That’s exactly what you’re pretending not to do.
For what it’s worth I had bad nerve pain from Covid and only thing that helped was weight lifting and a carnivore diet. I’d put more stock in the weight lifting though. I believe an increase in testosterone helped regulate my immune system. From what I understand women suffer more from auto immune diseases than men (at least it’s the case with MS) so maybe weight lifting is part of it.. good luck.
I was thinking about the authenticity of my writing earlier this week and wondering why I have no problem accepting code from an AI and committing it, but I find the idea of passing off an AI's writing as my own feels not just wrong, but immoral on the level of purposeful plagiarism. I feel a distinct difference, but I'm not particular clear why. I'm okay with sharing AI writing, but only when I've clearly communicated it was written by AI.

Probably related to why I can copy a piece of code from elsewhere (with sufficient work to verify it does what I expect and only what I expect) but I don't copy a quote and use it as my own. My words are my words. My code doesn't have the same guarantee.
No distaste for Europe, I just feel mildly sorry for what you are inflicting on yourself.

The US has and will come to your defense, but we can’t defend you all from self-inflicted wealth-destroying policies.
On Mastodon, it is.
Is there any reason they wouldn't rule the same way on DeepSeek training on OpenAI data? After all, one of the big selling points of GPT has been that businesses can freely use the information provided. They're paying for the service, after all. I'd very be interested to know how DeepSeek's usage (very reasonably assuming that they paid for their OpenAI subscription) is any different.
I wonder if they'd be eyed by regulators for doing so, but yes, it does seem odd they didn't at least integrate Paypal or similar.
Your weak mindedness shouldn’t affect what others learn/read. Go for walk, get a hobby offline etc.

Paxos isn’t open source just because you can read the paxos paper.

A fair point. Amidst the nationalistic preening over DeepSeek, the question of what the unintended consequences of an all-out AI arms race are lies fallow. Apart from everything else, it is tantamount to an information war, with competitions versions of the human past vying for supremacy.
Yes. You should have a system for tracking every single dataset containing personal data: that data does not belong to you. You are just its steward.

You should have had such a system even before GDPR came into existence, but after it did? Your organization's lack of organization is not the legislator's problem.
> What stops a malicious actor from calling those APIs and feeding them garbage?

Isn't that true for any service or API that collects data? If a bad actor wants to spam it with useless info, they can always find a way to do it.

You can filter out a lot of bad data with UA bot detection and maybe rate limits per IP, but if someone really wants to spam your service, they can always do it.

GA already has a lot keyword/referrer spam, where you saw as referrers some dodgy websites.
What kind of power supply are you imagining these Starlink cell satellites to have? You'll absolutely not see "several watts of power being dumped" on anyone, even assuming extremely small spot beam sizes.

This is an extremely power limited application. We're talking signals just above the noise floor here.

Incredibly poor understanding of how addiction works and how society functions. If ever your solution to a societal problem is "if everyone just..." you can be safely ignored as it will never happen that everyone "just ...".
I haven’t had the chance to try it out with R1 yet but if you implement a debugger class that screenshots the widget/QML element, dumps its metadata like GammaRay, and includes the source, you can feed that context into Sonnet and o1. They are scarily good at identifying bugs and making modifications if you include all that context (although you have to be selective with what metadata you include. I usually just dump a few things like properties, bindings, signals, etc).
I mean, to be fair, given the way tokenization works, this isn't that surprising.

I do agree that it's very funny though.
> It is easy to tell people "just eat less" when you are never really hungry yourself.

This is another strawman argument. Good meal planning and dieting advice starts with your grocery list and the contents of your refrigerator. It’s not “just eat less”, it’s “stop buying those foods you know are terrible and replace them with something else”

> It requires empathy to try and imagine a world where after eating a whole pizza

Again, this is setting up a strawman argument. There are more foods available to us than an entire pizza. You have to make a series of decisions that leads to buying a whole pizza. If you think that pizza is full of engineered, addictive chemicals and you also know that you’re going to be hungry after eating it, why is it what you choose to eat?

This is the problem I was trying to describe: It’s really convenient to blame addictive food chemicals and other external factors for everything, but in the process people are wiping away any sense of choice and accountability for their actions.

For what it’s worth, I am hungry virtually all of the time. It was a running joke with everyone since I was a kid. I learned early on that I need to modulate my diet at the source, otherwise my weight goes up before I know it. Changing my shopping list and planning where to eat before I’m hungry makes all the difference.
That was my impression too. He is considered the inventor of CNN back in 1998. Is there anything more recent that's meaningful?
The model is. How it is packaged is a different matter entirely. There is a good reason we saw a shift towards the safetensors format.

Considering EU is so far behind on AI and tech as a whole, I hope they see this an opportunity to develop something of their own with better data privacy or whatever suits their boat(I don't know how though). I am really rooting for EU and their economy to bounce back. The world desperately needs a balance from all sides.
Yeah I have accessibility/distraction issues with all the flair and animations and small text in vs code.

I know all text editors need some degree of config to be comfortable but sublime is nearly immediately usable. Vs code is the only thing I need to configure to remove flair and features vs extend them.
And the bigger risk is the big companies making deals - like Apple including ChatGPT access in iOS - canceling those to do it on-device or in-house.

1B MAUs doesn't look great if half of them come from one source that can easily change to a competitor.
That is particularly gross, but that really feels like the norm among all the tech elite these days - Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. all doing the most laughable flip flops.

The reason the flip flops are so laughable to me is because they attempt to couch them in some noble, moralistic viewpoint, instead of the obvious reason "We own big companies, the government has extreme power to make or break these companies, and everyone knows kissing up to Trump is what is required to be on his good side."

Profiles in Cowardice, every last one of them.
In some cases we don't really know if your kid has autism. Under the DSM-5 criteria there are three levels of autism spectrum disorder: 1, 2, 3. Down at the less severe end of the spectrum, clinicians often assign different diagnoses. One psychiatrist might diagnose a patient with ASD Level 1, and then the next day a different psychiatrist might say that the same patient doesn't have ASD at all and actually suffers from ADHD or something else. It's highly subjective and reproducibility is low.

At the more severe end of the spectrum, diagnoses tend to be more objective and consistent.

> it's pretty lame if we lose a whole bunch of time and effort to re-learn some lessons yet again

We need to relearn because we need a different definition for LLMs. One that works in practice, not just at the peripheries.

Maybe we can have FOSS LLMs vs open-source ones, like we do with software licenses. The former refers to the hardcore definition. The latter the practical (and widely used) one.
All the top level comments are basking in the irony of it, which is fair enough. But I think this changes the Deepseek narrative a bit. If they just benefited from repurposing OpenAI data, that's different than having achieved an engineering breakthrough, which may suggest OpenAI's results were hard earned after all.
This is what the Nostr people have been saying, and it's also why I've avoided Nostr even as a fairly strong Bitcoin advocate. I don't go to social media to transfer money; I go to social media to freely exchange information with my social peers.

HN's title character limit is 80 (and the title is exactly 80 characters), so it was abbreviated to fit.
Stock price is a heavy swallow here, especially if someone had a bad timing and not much patience, but stock price is a tool to get funding which AST has successfully done, a year ago with very bad conditions, a week ago with excellent conditions. Not sure what that tells, but to me it tells that at least someone has trusted them with a 1B in cash, and some others with billions in spectrum to achieve their idea which would be transformational.

What is fact is that where Starlink has gotten approval from FCC to test only text messages, AST has gotten approval to test full 5G broadband in Europe, Turkey and USA for now. Not sure how can I interpret it differently then that they have technical advantage and that they might be first to really provide useful commercial service, which they will start providing very soon.
Of any company, Google has the largest moat:
1) Google AI datacenters built around TPUs are much more efficient than anything Nvidia based
2) Google has the crawl infrastructure and experience to continually get the freshest data
3) Google has lots of paid and voluntary training data from users
