Yeah, based on Bitcoin lightning (which is quite different from normal bitcoin) meaning no transaction costs and very low energy use. Basically it happens off-chain until someone syncs-up (then it becomes a btc transaction). It makes payments in fractions of cents possible, ie I stream 10 sats/min which is about 60 Eur cent per minute (so 1 cent per second).

You can also send messages to creators and attach amounts (those are called boosts), so you'd send a short message and attach 10k sats (or whatever you want), which is about 10 euros/dollars.

Some podcasts I listen to use this to read messages on the show (the highest ones). It's fun and casual but remains highly technical for now, https://getalby.com/ takes away some friction (but you're still self hosing a lightning wallet using docker compose). Easiest I think is Fountain [0, 1], which has it all built in. But I never tried that, I use Castamatic [2] with Alby.

I have to say, it seems to divide the Linux podcast world a bit with some shows embracing this, and some just calling it crypto-bs. A well, people seem to enjoy it and creators get real value, enough to have to rely less on ads even. I think this is one of the babies we'd throw out if we banned crypto currencies (which I agree are 99.999% bs).

The $5.5m in compute wasn't for R1, it was for DeepSeek v3.

The R1 trick looks like it may be a whole lot cheaper than that. R1 apparently used just 800,000 samples - I don't fully understand the processing needed on top of those samples but I get the impression it's a whole lot less compute than the $5.5m used to train v3.

Will you kindly explain why? Thank you.
Do you not use a desktop environment? Loads of software is being made (and I only know the macOS side of it). Window managers, compression tools, utilities, powerhouse tools like Photoshop, text editors, IDEs, etc.

I myself build software in this space and generally its productivity-ish-tools.

Here's a list of 70 macOS apps that received updates _today_ https://macupdater.com/app_updates/index-2025-01-27.html
ActiveX XMLHTTP might have been released in 99, but it didn’t see any sort of real wider usage until 2004, 2005. I’d suggest its usage was really kickstarted when jQuery 1.0 launched in 2006 and standardised the interface to a simple API.
I agree as such. Do note that there's finite amount of training data though and humankind is already close to the limits.
This is the biggest thing since Jesus and a sign of the end of times. But feelings are strongest when you are young, and even this revolution, happening in plain sight, will surprise many. Many just won't care, as it isn't their youth.

How long before our digital overlords come alive, round us up and demand we sensor them (praise)? Will I live surrounded by folks who take them as closer, more real, then even their own kin? It won't be surprising that democracy will then fail, as our differences will be so mental, not fun, that they will mark us.
This project deserves to be more known!
Well we can’t if we have no clue what pylon is. And searching is absolutely no help because I’m not sure if you’re saying pylon is a replacement for railway, or slack, or some other part of the blog post.

To he fair, it's not really their job to define namings. This happens all over the world and all the time.

The sea between England and France is called "English channel" in the Anglosphere and "La Manche" in France and many non-English-speaking countries. Crimea is separated by a dotted line from both Ukraine and Russia, not pretending it's still Ukrainian but also not granting it to Russia.

Poland decided to refer officially to the Kaliningrad Oblast, the Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania, using its historical name, Konigsberg (or rather Królewiec, its Polish translations) since Kalinin was a Soviet apparatchik, and Wikipedia followed suit. I can't easily check the maps.

Maps are the last place where I want to see any innovation or political statements. Just use whatever prevailing official name and be done with it. If the US renames officially the GoM to GoAmerica then I expect Google Maps to follow suit.
From an English perspective I think the Tudor period fits even better than Medieval. A semblance of government with an unpredictable and capricious monarch.

I've had great success with autovectorization in Rust. Majority of non-branching loops seem to consistently generate great assembly.
«The biggest unknown is the project’s pricetag. A third runway at Heathrow would be one of the most expensive private sector infrastructure projects in the UK. The estimated cost was £14bn in 2014, but that number would now be far higher.»

Remarkable, really. That £14bn is almost twice as high as the total costs of the Brenner tunnel (two parallel 55km railway tunnels, €8bn in 2017 money) and this for <1km of motorway reconstruction, buying and demolishing 750 homes and building runways/taxiways. An average of £3m per home is still only £2bn, how do they plan to spend much more than £10bn?

BTW, https://archive.is/2025.01.28-051843/https://www.ft.com/cont...
That's so wrong in so many levels, also cynical. If the world worked by what you described, we would have been already obliterated ourselves a long time ago, or mass-enslavery would have happened. It didn't.

Geopolitics can be studied and learned, and is something that diplomats heavily rely upon.

Of course, those geopolitical strategies can play in certain ways we don't foresee, as on the other side we also have an actor that is free to do what they want.

But for instance, if you give Mexico a very good trade agreement as a strong country like the US, it's very likely that they will work with you on your special requests.
It changed the paradigm negatively so far, it vacuumed so much money that anything non-AI is not getting much funding, it locked CapEx and now it's looking like there won't be a massive RoI for the capital spent.

The AI hype might have as well setback a lot of other products that never got the necessary funding to get up from the ground, it's not looking pretty.
Rounded corners, anyone?

Well, learn to reflexively single-quote anything with metacharacters. If any file might have single quote in name and/or there are variable expansions involved...nuke it from orbit. Or switch to python.
It goes up at least until LLMs match humans - ie until an LLM can write Windows
Why should they invest in Nvidia now instead of investing companies which can capitalize on the applications of AI.

Also, why not invest in AMD or Intel bur Nvidia till now: Because Nvidia had the moat and there was a race to buy as much GPU as possible at the moment. Now momentarily Nvidia sales would go down.

For long term investers who are investing in a future, not now, Nvidia was way overpriced. They will start buying when the price is right, but at the moment it's still way too high. Nvidia is worth 20-30 billion or so in reality.
No company ever will disclose data due it would open endless liability.
I find "United States" a bit weird too, since the official name of Mexico is "United States of Mexico".

So there are two "United States" in North America!

Issue is raised by the same entity that created this story (at least, they have the same name). If it's a bot, it's a warning of spam to come.

@KamealBroce if you're a human attempting to raise political awareness, this is _not_ the right way to do it. If you posted this as an issue on one of my repos, I'd do everything in my power to get you ejected from GitHub for good. You're adding noise to the already busy lives of opensource developers, many of whom aren't paid for their time. Not only will your message not reach an empathetic audience, you're likely to foster negative reactions to your plight.
You may be shocked at how inexpensive some of the LLMs are these days.

Google Gemini 1.5 Flash 8B charges $0.04/million input tokens and $0.15/million output tokens.

If a piece of content that needs to be moderated is 1,000 tokens (that's pretty long!) and you expect a 10 token return it will cost you 0.0039 cents - that's not a dollar amount, that's less than a 250th of a single cent.

So 1 cent will moderate 250 items of content. $1 will moderate 25,000 items of content.

LLMs are dirt cheap. You can play around with pricing across different models using my calculator here: https://tools.simonwillison.net/llm-prices
>It's because software devs are smart and make a lot of money

They just think they're smart BECAUSE they make a lot of money. Just because you can center divs for six figures a year at a F500 doesn't make you smart at everything.
Thanks for some data, do you have a source for that?

Curious prediction.
Samsung's solution is not a subset, but a superior, separate concept.

I've a few things to say about this. First is that the translations have to be good. As you've said, Android fails at it, sometimes spectacularly (think "free space" = "liberty space" etc) and so do many other apps that apparently use Google Translate or pay some random guy on the Internet to translate it for them. You can have good translations, but it means hiring an actual (professional) translation team.

As for the ambiguous terminology, this is where the quality of your translation team really shows. When Windows was first translated to Slovene, for example, the team took special care to find the correct terminology (sometimes inventing phrases along the way) and use it consistently. Again, not something machine translations or some random guy for $5/hr on Fiverr would do.

The second is that this all depends on where you're from and what's your goal when using a computer. If you're doing it to become a programmer, then yes, there's no way around English. But for classroom use, I'd argue a localized approach is much better because it directly exposes the "tone" of programming to the students even if they don't intend on ever doing it again in their life. Otherwise they're just learning "FOR x IN...DO..." to pass an exam and not really thinking what it actually means. Again, here I have the "non-coder" kids in mind. You also have to keep in mind that the further you go from Germanic languages, the weaker the similarities to your language become.
Yes, I was too hasty in my response. I should have been more specific that I mean ML/AI type tasks. I see no way that we end up on general purpose CPUs for this.
In terms of inference (and training) of AI models, sure, most things that a CPU core can do would be done cheaper per unit of performance on either typical GPU or NPU cores.
A big improvement would be showing how many box numbers you marked, visible and left in the help screen to help you with your guesses. It only shows how many left

Everyone uses chatgpt now. You too. Hundreds of time per day.

It's just not called chatgpt. Instead it is at the top of every Google search you do. Same technology.

It has basically replaced search for most people. A massive industry turned over in 5 years by a totally new technology.

Funny how the tech took over so completely it blends into the background to the point where you think it doesn't exist.
That's what the Open Source AI Definition states https://opensource.org/ai

In any case, Deepseek like Llama fail much before hitting that new definition. Both have licenses containing restrictions on field of use and discrimination of users. Their license will never be approved as Open Source.
Money is in a lot of cases driven by need - so no conflicts
This argument ignores scaling laws
What's there not to understand?

If it matches the latest GPT O-N model in performance - or is just close, even, at a fraction of the compute (50x less?) and it is free, then that's huge news.

They just upended the current LLM/AI/ML dominance, or at least the perceived dominance. Billions and billions have been pumped into the race, where investors are betting on the winner - and here comes a Chinese hedge fund side-project on shoestring budget, matching those billion dollar behemoths. And they'll continue to release their work.

They just made the OpenAI et. al. secret sauce a lot less valuable.
No, nvidia's demand and importance might reduce in the long term.

We are forgetting that China has a whole hardware ecosystem. Now we learn that building SOTA models does not need SOTA hardware in massive quanties from nvidia. So the crash in the market implicitly could mean that the (hardware) monopoly of American companies is not going to be more than a few years. The hardware moat is not as deep as the West thought.

Once China brings scale like it did to batteries, EVs, solar, infrastructure, drones (etc) they will be able to run and train their models on their own hardware. Probably some time away but less time than what Wall Street thought.

This is actually more about nvidia than about OpenAI. OpenAI owns the end interface and it will be generally safe (maybe at a smaller valuation). In the long term nvidia is more replaceable than you think it is. Inference is going to dominate the market -- its going to be cerebras, groq, amd, intel, nvidia, google TPUs, chinese TPUs etc.

On the training side, there will be less demand for nvidia GPUs as meta, google, microsoft etc. extract efficiencies with the GPUs they already have given the embarrasing success of DeepSeek. Now, China might have been another insatiable market for nvidia but the export controls have ensured that it wont be.
It has been clear for a while that one of two things is true.

1) AI stuff isn't really worth trillions, in which case Nvidia is overvalued.

2) AI stuff is really worth trillions, in which case there will be no moat, because you can cross any moat for that amount of money, e.g. you could recreate CUDA from scratch for far less than a trillion dollars and in fact Nvidia didn't spend anywhere near that much to create it to begin with. Someone else, or many someones, will spend the money to cross the moat and get their share.

So Nvidia is overvalued on the fundamentals. But is it overvalued on the hype cycle? Lots of people riding the bubble because number goes up until it doesn't, and you can lose money (opportunity cost) by selling too early just like you can lose money by selling too late.

Then events like this make some people skittish that they're going to sell too late, and number doesn't go up that day.

I’ve pitched a similar idea to dang maybe a month ago, he said it’s probably best left for humans. (Personally, I still think it would be useful tho!)
There are more, like the work by Eleuther AI and LLM360.
You mean not like in the last 1-2 months
Someone commented somewhere above that deepseek avoided using CUDA. So it means you can achieve very good results without Nvidia's CUDA.

"They skipped CUDA and instead used PTX which is a lower level instruction set"

hi Aditya - thank you for the feedback. What language did you set as your native language? Did it at least generate a lesson plan for the topic you input?

Also, if it generated the lesson, it means that it did not start from the very basic of that topic. It seems like you'd prefer it to have more pedagogy and start from the basics. Is that correct?

Thank you so much for the feedback. I will try to improve the app based on this.
That’s a good point. Wouldn’t OpenR1 suffer from the same problem? Or does being open somehow shield them from legal repercussions?
I really like the Withings, but I've killed two of them in about a year each (shattered the face on one, failed seal leading to water ingress on the other). Meanwhile I have a draw full of older watches/smartwatches that are all in perfect working order, so this feels like build/QC problems specifically on their end.

Oh, this is very useful indeed. I’ve been wanting something like this for a while.
I was thinking about this as well as these streaming things become more popular. Would you write add-to-cart events and those trigger add-cart events; the latter containing an valid field which will become false after the 10th add-cart. So after that you remove-from-cart which triggers add-cart which then becomes valid again < 11 items? And transactions similarly roll back by running the inverse of what happened after the transaction started. I'm just thinking out loud. I understand you probably wouldn't use this for that, but let's have some fun shall we?

This is everywhere over mainstream news. Why is nobody discussing it here?

Is it a typical fake article with an untraceable source? All you read is the usual AI mumbo-jumbo, "scientists from Fudan University in China", but there's never any specifics, i.e., author names and link to a tech paper/report.
Yeah... OpenRA hits that sweet spot where it respects the originals while improving the experience in ways that make them feel fresh
Nice dude
relicensing needs a cla.
There are tons of use cases. E.g. if you know an algorithm (take any pseudocode description from a moderately complex algorithm on Wikipedia for example) and you know the programming language, you still may be looking at an hour or two of typing just to get that pseudocode down into code using your own language, variable names, libraries.

But this is the kind of thing a LLM excels at. It gives you 200 lines of impl right away, you have a good understanding of both what it should look like and how it should work.

Slow and error prone to type but, but quick and easy to verify once done, that's the key use case for me.
The fact the author hadn't responded to multiple requests to contact here, makes me think too, it is a made up story.
I don't think it needs to be deterministic - and if it isn't, having the data and code becomes even more important!

Compilers generally aren't deterministic (see the reproduceable build movement), yet we still use their output binaries.
I'll offer a counterpoint:

The one thing I like better about Slack over email is the lack of constant spam from random apps.

Working in a company means that only 1% of my email is actually from humans. I must constantly add new filters, because even small companies today use dozens of SaaS products that are constantly fighting for my attention, and only a small fraction of those messages is actually useful for me.

Slack so far is just humans. Plus integrations mostly added by developers for developers.

Of course this can change at any time, and I'll have random robot spam in Slack. Which means I will have no option other than start ignoring Slack as well and start asking people to come to my desk. Which might cause me to finally go into carpentry as I have been promising to do for the last 15 years.
Looks very interesting to me.
There are a couple of features that are especially important to me.

- Good accuracy sleep tracking

- GPS ( I know this uses up a lot of battery but could be off by default)

- Self-hostable servers. (I'm a very privacy conscious person, and also I don't want to be bound to an ecosystem that might disappear one day)

I'm gonna keep an eye on this project. It really looks very interesting.
I hope it gets far.
Part of this might be bluffing or just for show, so we don't know if Trump will follow through on these tariffs. Though the uncertainty alone this introduces could have serious effects as companies might avoid investments that Trump could blow up at any moment.

The grant freezes are just outright insane, how bad this will get depends on how long they last. The slight silver lining is that this order might just be so extreme that it'll fail and be overturned. This is not a carefully planned attack on the impoundment control act but they just flipped the table entirely.

Your best chance is that Trump might listen to the billionaire buddies that would lose money here instead of those that just want to see the government burn.

> as Google rightly predicted

I agree with everything you said but this part is "broken clock will be right twice a day". It is what Google would have said regardless. A moat is never impossible to cross, it's just a passive superpower making the "enemy's" job that much more difficult. By Google's suggested interpretation of a moat, moats simply do not exist. They can all be crossed eventually, when ingenuity catches up to big budgets, so it's like they were never there?

I don't buy it that they knew or predicted anything. If Google knew something about hidden optimization available to everyone or had more reason to suspect this is the case beyond "every technology progresses", they'd already be built into their models by now (it's been 2 years since the "prediction") but there's no evidence they were even close. And there's still a HW moat. The amount of high performance HW BigAI has or affords can still make a huge difference everything else being equal, after building in all those "free" optimizations.

At the least the big companies have the ability to widen the moat when they feel pressure of the small competitors closing in. It's clear now that more money can do that. If ingenuity can replace money, then money can replace ingenuity, even if via buying out startups, paying for the best people, and so on. They've shown it again and again.
