Tangentially, I'd also suggest that you consider your own career-sector as something to be hedged/diversified against. This is especially true for people getting stock-thingies as compensation, but it might also apply for some index funds.

The worst-case scenario that comes to mind are all the Enron employees who focused their 401ks onto their own employer's hot stock, and then the implosion wiped out both their regular earnings and their reserves.
why is that? why couldn't the private approach (withholding x amount per paycheck, adding to a pension fund) work at scale?

This is the kind of inconsequential nitpicking diatribe I'm referring to. When has "open data" ever meant Open Source?

> They deliberately chose to misuse a well established term instead.

Their model weights as well as their repositories containing their technical papers and any source code are published under an OSS MIT license, which is the reason why initiatives like this looking to reproduce R1 are even possible.

But no, we have to waste space in every open model release complaining that they must be condemned for continuing to use the same label the rest of the industry uses to describe their open models which are released under an OSS License as Open Source - instead of using whatever preferred unused label you want them to use.

Looks super clean.
Talk to R1 for a while, and you'll notice that it's both censored and aligned.

I think the most free-minded large models might be the Groks, but just slightly, as they have different biases. In sum, there's strength in diversity.
you don't need to take ai training quite so literally (:
So I'm thinking, inference seems mostly memory bound. With a fast CPU (for example 7950x with 16 cores), and 256GB of RAM (seems to be the max), shouldn't that give you plenty of ability to run the largest models (albeit a bit slowly).

It seems that AMD Epyc CPUs support terabytes of ram, some are as cheap as 1000 EUR. why not just run the full R1 model on that - seems that it would be much cheaper than multiple of those insane NVidia-Karten.
Now that things are really getting wild in the LLM space and people are just running anything that come it seems I did a quick search on the thead model of hosting you own LLM.

I didn't find much, starting with llama.ccp which is just reminding you to sandbox and isolate everything if running untrusted models.

I feel we are back in the Windows 95 / early Internet era when people would just run anything without caring about security.
agree it has to be deterministic. my major concern was whether tools dependencies are mixed with actual software they are used to build. hopefully they are not mixed, so that you can have guarantees that everything you see in dependency tree is actually used. because otherwise, there is not much point in the tree (since you can't say if it is used or not).

again, v1.24 seems to be okay here. go mod pruning should keep nodes in tree clear from polluting each other.

They aren't, you use your allocated vacation time but are able to take the 4 weeks without question or needing to schedule around other coworkers (it's auto-approved).

Usually around June/July there's very few people working at most places, some restaurants are closed, etc. At one employer it'd be around 10-15% of us around during summer.

I actually prefer to work during this time, much slower pace, time to get into projects that couldn't be planned for. At max I like taking a week off and saving the rest of my vacation days for end of September when the weather starts to get cold.

I don't really understand why some prefer to travel outside of Sweden in June/July/August since those are the best months to be around (and it's high tourism season anywhere else in Europe).

It is a good feeling reading this. The mentality that is (apparently) so rare today with the many ego pushing disrupters disrupting (obstructing actually, obstructers is the correct term here) life for everyone else. The providing service for others - shortly: creating actual, real value instead of appearances -, is not a typical and mainstream behaviour nowadays, the stability over fame, no, but the pushing spectacular sounding (made up for the purpose of sounding spectacular) elusive agenda on others for heaping up wealth is.

Manipulation instead of serving others is the norm.

Based on what hits the broad audience. Under the radar fair services like this are hidden from the public eye.
This presents a great opportunity for alternative npm clients (such as bun, yarn). An almost free advantage over the mainline npm CLI.
That makes sense. Do you keep the in-memory data in Racket data structures? I imagine keeping the data fed to Swift UI in sync with data maintained by GC'd Racket would involve some work.

Have you used https://github.com/Bogdanp/Noise? I assume serde would take up memory on both sides (Racket and Swift).

Sorry for a barrage of questions. I am quite curious about how all of this works. I am mulling over using OCaml for what you've used Racket for.

If you're a (non-wealthy) student from the US, it's easy to see how you'd get that impression based on what its like to be that person in both countries.

In Sweden, you study full time, live decently and optionally have one job that you do spare time to reduce your future debt that most likely won't be a problem given that it's a (compared the US) small amount of money and you're able to pay it back relatively easily.

What I've heard from a total of 3 students from different parts of that states are some variation of: "Outside of my (full time) studies I juggle 2-3 part time jobs, barely making rent and the mountain of debt that awaits me is giving me crippling anxiety".

Of course living here is not without its struggles. We, just like the rest of the world, struggle with insane housing costs, stagnant wages for working class people, our food prices are several times higher than in the US despite us making way less etc.

That means that it's going to be driven by financial wealth accumulation instead of power accumulation.

Seeing the world as mutable is a matter of perspective, 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 tried Heddy with my children. It worked great at first. It's really easy to get started with. Every level, the language changes slightly to introduce more concepts. That worked great for my younger son, but it confused his brother. Code that was correct in one level, suddenly gives errors in the next. In the end, we stopped using Hedy. I now teach them Python instead. It's harder at first, but at leastthe things they learn, won't change.
I have, and I generally prefer it to Slack, unlike Slack, it (off the top of my head):

- Has much richer message formatting and doesn't regularly do weird things to mess up the formatting as I'm composing a message. (Just this morning I was fighting Slack to try have nested bullet points not disappearing or de-indenting as I was composing a message).

- Consistently marks messages as read without me having to click chats multiple times for the unread indicator to disappear. With Slack I somewhat regularly have this problem, more than once a week.

- Like every other application on Windows, Ctrl+K works for adding a hyperlink. Slack is in fact so aware that people are used to using the Ctrl+K shortcut it even catches you trying to do it and then tells you how to add hyperlinks in their own special snowflake way.

- Doesn't clutter my Windows notification centre. Unless I clicked the notification center message it doesn't ever disappear. WhatsApp by comparison which also uses the Windows notification center does this perfectly. Slack is the same on iOS, it doesn't clear messages from the notification center once a message is read unless you clicked the notification.

Teams has its warts for sure, but I find it's considerably more polished than Slack in general.

You’ll want to use something trusted like Ollama to run the model. The model itself is just data though, like a video file. That doesn’t mean it can’t be crafted to use a bug in Ollama to launch an exploit but it’s a lot safer than you make it sound.
Wow, an 80% reduction in size for DeepSeek-R1 is just amazing! It's fantastic to see such large models becoming more accessible to those of us who don't have access to top-tier hardware. This kind of optimization opens up so many possibilities for experimenting at home.

I'm impressed by the 140 tokens per second speed with the 1.58-bit quantization running on dual H100s. That kind of performance makes the model practical for small or mid sized shops to use it for local applications. This is a huge win for people working on agents that require low latency that only local models could support.

Doctors are actually known for this phenomenon. Flight schools particularly watch out for them because their overconfidence gets them in trouble.

And, though humans everywhere do this, Americans are particularly known for it. There are many compilation videos where Americans are asked their opinion on whether Elbonia needs to be bombed or not, followed by enthusiastic agreement. That's highly abnormal in most other countries, where "I don't know" is seen as an acceptable response.

Similar system in Finland. But generally there is implicit negotiations in tech that someone will be around to look after things. And if no one is willing the employer can order the placement of vacations. But there is generally enough people willing to move things around a bit for most to get what they want.

With most office jobs it is pretty free. But when it comes to factories or mandatory services the employer can absolutely ensure that there is enough workers.
> Is the claim that it only took $5M to train generally accepted?

Based on Nvidia being down 18% yesterday I would say the claim is generally accepted.
I feel any AI can fix those problems when they can finally act. The problem AIs cannot run or debug code, or even book a hotel for me. When that is solved and an AI can interact with the code like a human does, it can fix its problems like a human does.
Related to your #2. I mentioned this elsewhere yesterday, but NVDA's margins (55% last quarter!) are a gift and a curse. They look great for the stock in the short term, but they also encourage its customers to aggressively go after them. Second, their best customers are huge tech companies who have the capital and expertise (or can buy it) to go after NVDA. DeepSeek just laid out a path to put NVDAs margins under pressure, hence the pullback.
For personal usage, does it matter though? In most places residential electricity is cheap compared to everything else. In a DC context I feel it matters a lot more compared to the capex.

The difference sounds to be in the intents and focus. This sounds like focusing on making product for the people. Others may not. This may not be in the focus for others.

I was interviewing for a position at a startup in the alley of my profession a few years ago where my opening question was when my turn came: where do you see the company in 5 years?

- Sold!

Came the answer without a moment of hesitation. And that was it, the full answer.

Well, they got sold recently, I nod to that. But I did not want to become a salesman, so we wouldn't have get to an agreement even if the position was offered to me.

Getting to be stuck in a long running small organization that has the main purpose of getting big and be sold sounds a terrible life.
