Interesting to note:

- Dev infra, observability database (open telemetry spans)

- Logs of course contain chat data, because that's what happens with logging inevitably

The startling rocket building prompt screenshot that was shared is meant to be shocking of course, but most probably was training data to prevent deepseek from completing such prompts, evidenced by the `"finish_reason":"stop"` included in the span attributes.

Still pretty bad obviously and could have easily led to further compromise but I'm guessing Wiz wanted to ride the current media wave with this post instead of seeing how far they could take it. Glad to see it was disclosed and patched quickly.
> Maintaining an autonomous vehicle comes with a significantly higher maintenance burden than a regular car right now.

Sure, and the cost would be really high too, but for a very wealthy person it might be worth it.

> would you be willing to check the air pressure regularly

I have to do that on my regular car, but it only needs air once every six months or so. New tires are pretty good about holding air. Also, no different than a regular car.

> take the vehicle in for calibration

I already have sensors on my car that require calibration, and I do that when it goes in for maintenance, about once a year. I wonder if these sensors need calibration more often.

> clean the sensors

You mean, wash the car? :)

> do software updates, implement the legal reporting responsibilities, etc?

I assume that would all be automatic over the air. And again, we're talking about someone who could afford a $150K car. There is a good chance they could hire someone to do that stuff too.
True, the lens is usually more important than the sensor, remember that the hubble space telescope is only one megapixel.

You can't copyright AI generated works. OpenAI are barking up the wrong tree.
Even for the latter point (If true, I'd call this assertion highly questionable), so what?

That's honestly such a academic point, who really cares?

They've been outcompeted and the argument is 'well if we didn't let people access our models, they would of taken longer to get here' so what??

The only thing this gets them is an explanation as to why training o1 cost them more than 5 million or whatever, but that is in the past the datacentre has consumed the energy.. the money has gone up in fairly literal steam.

I'm very excited for Jank, I wish the creator well.

If I could make one tiny plea, it would be to focus on tooling too, and ensuring the experience for someone trying Jank out is as smooth as possible. Don't assume everyone is already set up with paredit and can fire off emacs chords without a thought. I suspect that Jank will be of particular interest to C++ programmers, many of whom are used to a very different dev paradigm.

The Clojure community has done a great job at trying to smooth out the rough edges of Lisp tooling, and ensure there are on-ramps for newcomers (e.g. things like Calva for VS Code). I hope Jank keeps this up, because those first impressions really do matter. I'd hate to watch people bounce off Jank because they get stuck on trying to figure emacs out, or because they get frustrated trying to keep parentheses matched in Notepad.
"Sends other UNIX boxes to /dev/null" is one of the best Apple ads from that era: https://brainmapping.org/MarkCohen/UNIXad.pdf
I suspect there are exactly zero customers (of Apple or anyone else) who care to nitpick like this over strict adherence—out of the box—to any version of a UNIX specification. Anyone who really needs to guarantee that their application will be immediately compatible with a new system is simply going to stick with whatever vendor they're already running it on and demand that vendor maintain bug-compatibility with their older versions.

Same in Australia. Xiaomi phones less so.
I think your confusing my post. You can feel however you want about the game itself, it isn't for everyone. Your suggestion that they work on something else for 9 years is also strange. Why would they listen to someone who doesn't like the games they make instead of listening to the literal thousands of players who play the game each day? [1] It makes a lot more sense for a game company to focus on the lovers and not the haters, IMO.

You don't like the game, and may not like the style of games that Hello Games chooses to make. But 9 years after launch, and before this new update, they were still pulling 5-10k players per day just on Steam, so probably more overall if PlayStation, etc. are included. That seems like evidence enough for me that a decent audience believes it is something worth playing.

My actual comment, however, is addressing people who still hate on the developers. You can dislike the game while still respecting the effort the developers have put into serving their fans.

The very idea that OAI scrapes the entire internet and ignore individual rights and thats ok, but if another company takes the output data from their model, thats a gross violation of the law / TOS - that very idea is evil.

This is probably an incredibly stupid, off-topic question, but why are their database schemas and logs in English?

Like, when a DeepSeek dev uses these systems as intended, would they also be seeing the columns, keys, etc. in English? Is there usually a translation step involved? Or do devs around the world just have to bite the bullet and learn enough English to be able to use the majority of tools?

I'm realizing now that I'm very ignorant when it comes to non English-based software engineering.
> It feels more like I’m able to Matrix-upload docs into my brain like Trinity learning to fly a helicopter

Did you puzzle about this sentence specifically? Imagine you don't know jack about flying helicopters, then Tank uploads the Helicopter Pilot Program (TM) directly to your brain; it would feel like magic.

Conversely, if you know a lot about helicopters, just not enough to fly a B-212, and the program includes instructions like "Press (Y) and Left Stick to hover", you'd know it's confabulating real world piloting with videogames.

That's the same with LLMs, you need to know a lot of the field to ask the right questions, and recognize/correct slop or confabulation, otherwise they seem much more powerful and smart than they really are.
I lol'd, from the DeepSeek news release[1]: "Pushing the boundaries of open AI!"

[1]: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/news/news250120
Enforcing copyright on training data to this extent would actually create a temporary moat for the biggest players - they can afford to hire a lot of cheap labor to supplement the training dataset with human-authored original works that skirt IP protections by interpreting, parodying, commenting on or otherwise describing the protected works without actually infringing on them. As long as they keep those datasets private, everyone else is shit out of luck.

(I'm reiterating my prediction wrt. AI and moats - the only mid-term moat there can be is in human labor. Hardware vendors benefit from selling better hardware to more people for less; software and research are cheap to scale, datasets eventually leak or get reproduced. Human labor is the one thing that doesn't scale, and except for an economic crisis, only ever gets more expensive with time. Whatever edge one can get by applying human labor that cannot be substituted by AI - like RLHF and its evolutions - is the one that will last all the way to AGI; past that, moats won't matter anymore.)

One of the many reasons I'm firmly on the side of making the training of large neural models exempt of copyright considerations for everyone.
> To build DeepSeek probably requires at least a $1B+ budget. Between their alleged 50,000 H100 GPUs, expensive (and talented) staff, and the sheer cost of iterating across numerous training runs - it all adds up to far, far more than their highly dubious claim of $5.5M.

This is not fair. Is OpenAI, for example, including the CEO paycheck for the model training costs?

It's much much more complicated than that. Sun refused to add many language features that Microsoft (then a cautious but also genuine user of Java) wanted. Such as refusal to add delegates/closures:

https://benhutchison.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/suns-rejection...
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1973579/why-doesnt-java-...

J++, which was Microsoft's Java implementation in the 90's added a few language extensions that were clearly not Sun-approved, but driven by internal engineering feedback at MS. C# having struct and class keywords, allowing you to define your own value types, is clearly a result of that missing in Java, which still in 2025 has no such equivalent yet.

Also Java's then native code interop solution, JNI, was and still remains complete garbage, and it's flaws were a huge guide for Microsoft when they deveoped .NET and it's native interop equivalent, PI (platform invoke).

Thankfully, Java now have FFM [foreign function and memory APIs](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/core/foreign-funct...) APIs (and also JNA which is community driven), which are much better than JNI.

> Anyone spending that amount of money isn’t just doing a side project.

You're reciting a bunch of absolute numbers, without any sort of context at all. $5M isn't the same for every company. For example, in 2020, it seems High Flyer spent a casual $27M on a supercomputer. They later replaced that with a $138M new computer. $5.5M sounds like something that could be like a side-project for a company like that, whose blood and sweat is literally money.

> But this degree of failure raises lots of questions whether such companies can ever be trusted.

This, I agree with though. I wouldn't trust sending my data over to them. Using their LLMs though, on my own hardware? Don't mind if I do, as long as it's better, I don't really mind what country it is imported from.
Someone who worked on a non-English environment years ago here: sometimes you do use the local language in some contexts, but, more often than not, you end up using English for the majority of stuff since it's a bit off-putting to mix another language with the English of programming languages and APIs.

I'm suspecting Toshiba might just be "a well-kept open secret" and people want to keep them for themselves. That's my only explanation for their absence in recommendations. Perhaps combined with that probably the other manufacturers actively market in ways that Toshiba doesn't care for.

Gone through a bunch of their MG/MN series drives over 5+y, and the 3/5y warranty was honored without BS on the one RMA case. You can also see them track well in Backblaze rankings.

Their N series are supposedly also great but never saw the point in paying the premium.

I have no idea why you would pay more or the same for same-sized drives from either Seagate or WD if you have the option.
Those 200 MP sensors are 200 MP in name only. They're so small the individual pixels are smaller than the wavelength of light they're trying to capture. That's why when you use them, the max image size is usually around 50MP because binning is required physically

That is precisely what happens. It is not unusual for code and databases to be written in English, even when the developers are from a non-English speaking country. Think about it: the toolchain, programming language and libraries are all based on English anyway.
He writes with the assumption that the reader understands the danger in China developing a lead in military technology. Hence his very explicit wording:

Because implementing them is tedious, and you can always simulate them with simpler aggregation methods, or possibly lexical closures.

When the language implementors start making larger programs, it will soon become apparent how the program organization is hampered without named, defined data structures.

I didn't add structs to TXR Lisp until August 2015, a full six years from the start of the project. I don't remember it being all that much fun, except when I changed my mind about single inheritance and went multiple. The first commit for that was in December 2019.

Another fun thing was inventing a macro system for defstruct, allowing new kinds of clauses to be written that can be used inside defstruct. Then using them to write a delegation mechanism in the form of :delegate and :mass-delegate clauses, whereby you can declare individual methods, or a swath of them, to delegate through another object.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but this whole thread reeks of someone refusing to help themselves. Several people have given you legitimately helpful advice and you have just come back with excuses as to why it won't work for you. This includes:

- Using a wireless power bank. Android phones will work with a completely dead/useless battery if they are plugged into a power bank. If your power bank doesn't work that way, then you need a new power bank.

- Using a different device. Of course your important files are on this phone. Do you think this phone will last forever? Backup those files to the cloud so you can access them from any device. You get free cloud storage with your Google account.

Instead of blaming all your problems on an external entity like Google, if you take accountability for solving your problem, you will find it is not nearly so intractable. Others here can offer advice, but it is ultimately up to you to decide on a course of action and pursue it. I wish you the best of luck.

And hope the docs aren't too large. LLMs tend to confabulate more with longer contexts.
This is one of the reasons ML benchmarks are most useful soon after their creation. Once they become a target, they cease to meaningfully measure quality.

The corollary for the Soviet shoe factory is you need incentives that propagate to guide production. You need the market to guide you in all the little details and you have to discover little by little what it is actually demanding.

For ML, we need something similar if not the same.
I quite agree. The NY Times must be feeling a lot of schadenfreude right now.
Ollama makes it kind of cumbersome to download straight from Huggingface, unless something changed lately. It doesn't help that they felt the need to store files differently on disk either (inspired by docker, seemingly), making it even harder to share stuff between applications.

LM Studio though allows you to browse and download straight from Huggingface (assuming GGUF), so people could spend more time looking for models, but I don't think many have the interest to do what many of us do, download 10s of models and compare them against each other to find the best one for our use case.
