Ah, yes, this is delightfully useless! Well, maybe good for stress-testing language tooling (that single huge type expressing the Mandelbrot generator is... something to behold), but mostly just cool-that-this-can-be-done.

Another cool thing that I learned about via this post (as I was wondering about the .scene files in the GitHub repo) is this whole ecosystem:

> S&box is coded in C#. Under the hood, it uses the Source 2 engine (CS2, HL:Alyx, DOTA2) and some of its systems: rendering, resources, physics, and audio

And people say there is no more Good Stuff on the Internet...
Isn't it illegal to force people to tell who they voted for? That seems like one of the most basic democratic freedoms to protect.

It can 10x writing code and debugging, but neither of these are a software engineer's day to day.

You still need to do code reviews, especially on the AI. It's quite bug free, more than human code, but you still need to explain the product. v0 doesn't quite replace a good product designer.

It's not yet at the level it can do architectural work and it doesn't understand the scope or goal of products. It doesn't understand roadmaps. It can't plan the code around where it needs to be in 1 year. You need a proper architect to do this better.

The average code it's trained on is from 2019 or so. New models has people write new data for it, but most of this data is not production data. So you're likely using an old design too and it tends to recommend these until encouraged otherwise.

Also if you're not using the newer tools like Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, a lot of the contribution of AI is better test coverage. The value that comes with the "agent" tools is they will write and edit code across multiple files, and they save you the trouble of explaining context when you can just share the source code.
It is going to be truly fucking revolutionary if open-source models are and continue to be able to challenge the state of the art. My big philosophical concern is that AI locks Capital into an absolutely supreme and insurmountable lead over Labour, and into the hands of oligarchs, and the possibility of a future where that's not case feels amazing. It pleases me greatly that this has Trump riled up too, because I think it means he's much less likely to allow existing US model-makers to build moats, as I think he's -- even as a man who I don't think believes in very much -- absolutely unwilling to let the Chinese get the drop on him over this.
Actually reading the post would have quickly cleared up any confusion...
Not everyone needs the largest model. There are variations or R1 with fewer parameters that can easily run on consumer hardware. With 80% size reduction you could run 70B on 8-bit on an RTX 3090.

Other than that, if you really need the big one you can get six 3090s and you're good to go. It's not cheap, but you're running a ChatGPT equivalent model from your basement. A year ago this was a wetdream for most enthusiasts.
Except lots of applications need to be able to forget things, similar to how things can be destroyed in the real world
I wonder how long it takes to reproduce it and would having access to latest GPUs speed it up?
This is quite something. I suspect this person has a C++ background, because the thing where they're abusing the generic type system to do arithmetic is very much more like C++ template libraries than something you normally see in C#. The advantage seems to be that you can use MakeGenericType() in situations where the normal bytecode Emit() isn't available?
Thanks! Good idea to add the return button.
It is probably more about the difference between women and men experience growing up. Women usually do not face violence directly. They face other problems though.

Don't believe for a second that growing up in an upper class environment does not have social dynamics. I grew up in one in Europe. In an upper class school there are bullies as bad as you could find in a lower class one, probably worse, because they have resources and connections to create harm. And sometimes their parents are worse than them.

Do not idealise what you have not live. You could go skiing and they can choke with the ski poles. This happened to one of my friends because he criticised one guy.

This is actually not true: just under 50% of votes went to GOP. Additionally, only 64% of the voting-eligible population voted, so it was more like 32% of the adult population voting GOP. "Everybody else" represents a larger population.

> Fluorinert was absolutely something the USSR could produce

May be. But in fact - not produced. And Soviet Elbrus computers used water cooling with extreme problems.

- I'm 100% sure, if it was possible for Elbrus designers to use Fluorinert, it would be used, but it was impossible, so not used.
what i think is irrelevant, I'm not at the industry which is challenging the west, at least for now

i just say that mindset (like what deepseek ceo said) is super common in China, not something hard to say or forbiddened
Were you running a local model?
And yeea, planning to support multiplayer, have country cards so you can select e.g., US cities, Europe etc, and and move controls (move, no move, no move or zoom), and better leaderboards, so you can see the score per country card and per mode + the time per guess.
Strongly disagree. For operating system components backwards compatibility should always be a primary and non-negotiable goal. If the backwards compatibility isn't 100% transparent that's a quality issue.

Basically any scientific calculator will do proper infix with correct operator precedence, no need for a graphing one (or even one that displays the entered formula, the original Casio fx-82 for example only shows the number currently being entered, yet still does proper infix with correct operator precedence).
it probably doesn't, and good vulnerability scanners like govulncheck from the go team won't complain about them, because they're unreachable from your source code.

now, do you care about some development tool you're running locally has a security issue? if yes, you needed to update anyway, if not, nothing changes.

The Gulf is getting more attention, but the McKinley one is pretty dumb too, considering McKinley never set foot in Alaska. Although, of course, it had that name before.

Trump seems to have a thing for McKinley - he has talked about him, which is interesting because I don't consider Trump much of history buff.

McKinley was big on tariffs and territorial expansion. It was the Gilded Age of concentration of wealth and corruption. And he was assassinated in the first year of his second term.
I would say below 50 employees is small, not quite mom&pop but small enough that you know everyone and there aren’t different separate “departments” in the company.
Indeed. One of the most important freedoms you grant to others by using an Open Source license is the freedom to do something you might not like.
> If you're not paying for something from a US tech company, unless it's explicitly a non-profit, it's fairly safe to assume that you, dear reader, are the product. You pay with your data.

They extract the very same data from paying users. And even with data factors in, they give products away at loss explicitly to undercut the competition.
Let me add that this change compounds over time. More efficient studying results in more competent people. I believe it's very hard to measure the impact, but there is a very positive long term impact from how much these tools help with learning.

There are thousands of gamblers whose job is to literally predict the tumbling random number generators in the slot machines they play, and will be rewarded with thousands of dollars if they do a good job.

They are not experts. As said above, some things are too complicated to have expertise in.

It's plausible that geopolitics may work the same way, with the ones who get lucky mistaken for actual experts.

Also how does Slack still have an error where trying to move the cursor in/out of syntax highlighting can "trap" you so you no longer see the message that will actually get submitted.

You can desync the WYSWIG nature of it to the point where you submit text that was "invisible" to you while also potentially deleting text in the submission that you can still see.

A more simple to reproduce bug is that you can't edit before the first character of a syntax block. The cursor skips from outside the syntax block to after the first character inside the block.
People are living longer after retirement (over 10 years longer since the 1970s) and birth rates have fallen. Expenditure surpasses income eventually. There are other factors but that seems to be the main issue.
I thought your basic argument was sound, but having read through the conversation twice, you might not be putting it in the best light. Your point seems to be that value can be extracted from capital and that is a substitute for value from labour. Seems good to me. But you then went with a gold-based example. Gold is money which is not really a productive form of capital because there is almost literally no way to extract value from gold. It is inert.

The value of gold is it makes the holder indistinguishable from someone who had enough resources to procure yea much gold. A useful signal in a healthy economy. But it was asking for the literal on-an-island example where there was no otherwise healthy economy. Since your argument depends on productive investment of capital IMO you should have hammered on that a bit more rather than trying to bring gold into the picture.

I'm seeing a lot of misconceptions about debt in this thread. It isn't possible to "burden" "unborn generations" with debt, they can always just renege on paying. The problem is what we see in the US, where the debt in financial markets is reflected in the real world by ... massive capital formation overseas in China. So the damage has already been done, unborn generations won't have access to the capital needed to live the lifestyle of their debtor parents. This is because the parents never built the capital to sustain their own lifestyle and eventually the capitalists will stop donating free stuff to debtors. IE, debt isn't a future problem to be paid back. The problem is always in the capital formation of the present and past. It is the future consequence of what capital got invested in, where & why. In that sense high debt can be good or bad depending on how much went in to capital formation and whether the capital is productive. But typically high debt matches to poor choices deploying capital.
2) Seems the most plausible, but how to value the moat, or, how long / how many dollars will it cost to overcome the moat? The lead that CUDA currently has suggests that it's probably a lot of money, and it's not clear what the landscape will look like afterwards.

It seems likely that the technology / moat won't just melt away into nothing, it'll at least continue to be a major player 10 years from now. The question is if the market share will be 70%, 10% or 30% but still holding a lead over a market that becomes completely fractured....

Meta scrambling 'war rooms' of engineers to figure out DeepSeek's AI
In the long run (which in the AI world is probably ~1 year) this is very good for Nvidia, very good for the hyperscalers, and very good for anyone building AI applications.

The only thing it's not good for is the idea that OpenAI and/or Anthropic will eventually become profitable companies with market caps that exceed Apple's by orders of magnitude. Oh no, anyway.
Opposite anecdata point: posted a link to DistroWatch and mentioned Linux without issue.

Relative to the 1999 Dot.com bubble?

I'm fairly sure the customer support agents I've been talking to recently were using an LLM to draft their emails. No idea if they were supposed to be doing so or not, but the style of sentences in their emails…

And I'm seeing GenAI images on packaging, and in advertising.

AI is definitely having more than "zero impact", even if AI has gone from being a signal saying "we're futuristic" (when it was expensive, even though it was worse) to "we cut every cost we can" (now it's cheap).
It is still unconfirmed since no one outside of deepseek reproduced it.

If confirmed, Nvidia could go down even more
> If your domain links to content that AVs flag as malware, it gets blocked on FB. This is probably not shocking?

Getting banned for linking to a tarball that is falsely flagged as malware is shocking, in particular if there is no easy way to appeal.
But if it's specifically trained to react to a date in its context, it seems very doable. Or to a combination of otherwise seemingly innocent words or even a statement or topic. E.g. a malicious actor could make some certain notion go viral and agentic LLMs integrated with news headlines might react to that.

It seems like it would be very arbitrary to train it to behave like this.

Most agentic systems would provide a date in the prompt context.

For simplicity sake imagine a scenario like:

1. China develops LLM that is by far ahead of its competitors. Decides to attribute it to a small start up, lets them open source it. The LLM is specifically designed to be very efficient as being an agent.

2. Agentic usage starts to get more and more popular. It's very standard to have current todays' date and major news headlines given to the context.

3. The LLM was trained to given a certain range of date and certain headlines being provided in its context to execute a pre-trained snippet of code. For example China imposing a certain type of tariff (maybe I lack imagination here, and there can be something much more subtle).

4. At that point the agentic system will attempt to fish all data it can from all sources it's being ran within.

Now maybe it's not very practical, and it's extremely risky with current state of the LLMs. I don't think it's happening right now. And China has a lot of other tech available to it already that they could do much more harm (phones, robot vacuums), but I think there's still at least potential attack vectors like this and especially if the LLM became very reliable.
Especially for phishing content, the requirement isn’t so much a legal one (though that’s important to watch for) as it is a practical one. People flagging phishing content on your domain can get your domain wiped from the internet. Trust me, we had a terrifying 8 hours at my day job a couple of years ago because of this.
There is no chaos there. When you label something on a map, you never translate any of the names. What you do, is use the exonyms which already exist. That is, local names which may have been literally translated at some point, or might simply have changed to align with local orthography and pronunciation, and which have become common place and accepted.

Like encyclopaedia, most reliable real-world maps document what it is, not what the author thinks it should be (obviously this is a possible use of maps; see China's nine-dash-line bullshit). So you wouldn't be making your own translations. At most, you would transliterate names in scripts not readily understood by your target audience.
People in Latin America rarely call the US "America", although often call people born in the USA "Americano".

Brazilians, Mexicans, Argentinans etc are all "Americans" technically. I think the name change was silly but "Gulf of America" is a better name.
I'm very glad to hear that the goal this time isn't growth and not to try to expand/pivot into other avenues at any cost. As a triple backer it was gutwrenching to see a company producing such a great device desperately chase investor money by trying to move into oversaturated mass markets instead of sticking to its strengths. I still have a Pebble Time (actually I inherited my uncle's after he learned that I had lost mine because it had fallen apart after I took it for a swim) and although it's been degrading visibly over the years (and the limitations like poor integration with Outlook for Android and other non-stock apps for e-mail, calendars, etc), I still find myself refusing to get a different smartwatch because none of them serve this exact niche.
I was pleasantly surprised by 140 tokens/s as well! I literally thought I did something wrong but it was real!
The primary use for a smartwatch for myself (and many of my family, friends) is fitness and health tracking. Card payments, notifications, WatchFaces etc. are all secondary.

Basically what Whoop is doing with their strap - but minus the subscription model. I know a ton of people who tried the whoop but felt it was extremely pricey and didn't have the accuracy of an apple watch.

I would be happy to pay ~$400-500 up front for hardware that integrates with Apple Health and provides solid, reliable health tracking without a need for a subscription.

And by health/fitness - features expected would be sleep tracking, activity (gps), heart rate, Sp02, skin temperature sensors, fall detection. Then secondarily - additional things like ECG/EKG, apnea, AFib detection

The in-accuracy of some of the devices in the market is why I still choose to remain with my Apple Watch.

Can We Retain the Benefits of Transitive Dependencies Without Undermining Secur
> if you explicitly model time as a dimension it can instead be seen as a sequence of transitions from immutable state to immutable state, an accumulation of events over time, which fits the log abstraction perfectly

I worked with a feature that used this approach once. It even made sense for the feature (an immutable history log of patient chart data). It was absolute hell to work with. Querying current state, which was 99% of the usecases, was cumbersome and extremely slow.

Turns out doctors rarely care about any of that immutable history. They just wanna know what’s up right now. In their ideal world, you’d re-answer all the same questions 30 seconds before walking in the door.

Turns out a combination mutable table of current state + derived immutable log/snapshot/audit table works much better for most things.
No tearing on my X.Org-based desktop for literally a decade.
I have not said that. I simply said that you now know that you can get more juice for the amount you spend. If you’ve just learnt this you would now first ask your engineers to improve your model to scale it rather than place any further orders with nvidia to scale it. Only once you think you have got the most out of the existing GPUs you would buy more. DeepSeek have made people wonder if their engineers have missed some more stuff and maybe they should just pause spending to make sure before sinking in more billions. It breaks the hegemony of the spend more to dominate attitude that was gripping the industry e.g $500 billion planned spend by openAI consortium etc
Interesting, this seems to be designed for end user protection but if I’m understanding it correctly it could be used by us for proactive detection.

Since it’s a group so wonder if a group mental illness would make sense. I guess it could work for the court “look how out of touch with reality my client is, sith vegans, clearly they didn’t know what they were doing!”
I believe one of the real insights of the widespread adoption of LLMs across problem domains is that the general knowledge insight of such models actually maps to increased performance on specific domain tasks. Hence finetuning is a better approach than training from scratch, unless you have insane compute (at which point, why restrict yourself to a narrow domain?)
Definitely considering LLMs. At the day job, we had a team fine tune a model built to detect phishing content and it worked surprisingly well.
