I’m not saying learning to read is like learning to speak. I’m saying that people have learned to read with far fewer resources than we have available today. If anything, we likely have _too_ many resources today. For instance, what is the impact of screen time on reading ability? That’s just one of many examples.
That would be a great way to give Non-American companies an advantage in the market. Imagine if Apple has to constantly worry about complying with US export controls while Samsung, a Korean company, can just ship whatever they want with zero additional paperwork as long as they avoid US suppliers. Multiply that over all consumer goods that might include AI.

Wait timeout. I thought DeepSeek's stuff was all MIT licensed too no?
What limitations are you thinking of that DeepSeek still has?
Yeah what happens when we remove all financial incentive to fund groundbreaking science?

It’s the same problem with pharmaceuticals and generics. It’s great when the price of drugs is low, but without perverse financial incentives no company is going to burn billions of dollars in a risky search for new medicines.
"DeepSeek-R1 is the latest resounding beat in the steady drumroll of AI progress. " IBM's Intellect, from 1983 cost $47,000 dollars a month. Let me know when DeepSleep-Rx exceeds Windows (tm) version numbers or makes a jump like AutoCADs version numbers.

This. There are a few theories of geopolitics, one of the most successful being ones we be bunch under an umbrella called realism [1]. (The others are idealism [2] and liberalism [3]. Historia Civilis made a great three-part video series on these [4]. Note that Realpolitik [5], which relates to realism as its praxis, is not the same thing.)

One of the consequences of realism is balance of power theory, which “suggests that states may secure their survival by preventing any one state from gaining enough military power to dominate all others” [6].

What is to be won? Not being dominated; ideally: less war, since war is irrational. (See: Ukraine.) Does preventing others from dominating you prevent you from dominating others? No. Is it necessary to win? No. But that means ceding sovereignty and increasing the chances of violent conflict as geopolitical fault lines reälign.

A note on liberalism: it works. But it requires great power at its centre. America was that benevolent great power. Now it seems we don’t want to be. The power America has to hurt its allies, and the incentives to reap that advantage, is the consistent failure mode of liberal foreign-relation structures, since the days of the Delian League.

It's probably less about viewing Trump as a fascist and more being afraid of being grouped in with Trump supporters by your in-group. It's a really divided country and there are circles where you could be outed even for expressing neutrality.

Again, I am not American, and would rather avoid the mess that is their politics
Maybe if US wasn't led by a bully that care's not about democratic ideals, but only on the rule of power it'll be easier to support the notion of US the leader of the free world.
But just take a look at how he handled Denmark-Greenland issue, Pure bullying.
In the Trumpian world, US has no allies, only vassals.
> In the end, AI companies in the US and other democracies must have better models than those in China if we want to prevail.

How about everyone has access to the best model because it's Open Source and openly developed?
That's interesting. I use BBEdit for that purpose and VSCode for code editing. I really don't like BBEdit's layout except for log viewing and unsaved snipets/notes. I might have to try Sublime now...
This feature is available for no extra cost from panix.com with the "+" (dcoder+anytext@panix.com) technique, and I can use filters on the address.

Since many sites can't believe that an email address can have a "+", I can also use "anytext@dcoder.users.panix.com" at most sites instead of dcoder@panix.com. ("anytext" typically, for me, being the name of the company or organization that I'm dealing with. Also, my Panix account is not really "dcoder".)

Absolutely. Chinese companies shouldn't have chips because their government has "committed human rights violations, has behaved aggressively on the world stage". And the US government hasn't?

If you read enough history books (and have a passable grasp of German, and tolerate the weird lead types used in the press for those days) you will be able to find _a lot_ of opinion pieces from our recent history that play along the same lines, but for earlier industries (like automotive).

People _really_ ought to study more of our past.
It's an addiction. There's no amount of money that will be enough, there's no amount of power that will be enough. They'll burn the world for another hit, and we know that because we've been watching them do it for 50 years now.
I get a ton of emails from people on HN and I dunno, it's really my fault for putting my email in my profile. I don't blame HN for this; I don't think it's particularly supportive of this kind of "abuse".
OK, well, turns out you can't upgrade the RAM in the M2 Mac Pros and they top out at 192GB spec from factory, so that's that.
Ah, I read that as him saying the quality isn't as good-equivalent to a model with 50% less compute. But you might be right.
Beeing fat is the same like your experience. Beeing fat means you are ill but very few people treat it as an illness. What illness? Your gut stopped working. Because it doesn't absorb any vitamins and minerals you get these crazy cravings. Your brain is making you eat more to compensate. Of course, not more crap, but that it's your choice.
I'm not saying the regulatory environment is wrong. I'm saying the market it creates (aside from avionics) is not a good fit for innovation stemming from venture capital due to venture capital's expected return magnitudes and timelines.

I cited three technologies (ICE engine redesign, low-lead gasoline, and lithium batteries) where those timelines for market adoption (outside of GA) were orders of magnitude (decades) shorter.

My comments were solely targeted at GA. Commercial aviation is an entirely different ball game.
Wow, you really pulled out all the tricks for this one! Commands, key bindings, completions, snippets, and a syntax! Nicely done!
It is a remarkable achievement. But if “some training data from OpenAI” turns out to essentially be a wholesale distillation of their entire model (along with Llama etc) I do think that somewhat dampens the spirit of it.

We don’t know that of course. OpenAI claim to have some evidence and I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out.

There’s also a substantial difference between training of the entire internet and one that very specifically targets your competitor's products (or any specific work directly).
Yes! I'm also curious what specific changes you made related to your IBD protocols backed up by your genetic predispositions.
The watches are terrible replacements for the dedicated unit for activities like cycling, hiking, even golfing imo (don't like anything like that on my wrist).
We are not alternative to anything. We are so hopelessly behind USA, and it doesn't seem it can be changed.

You just restated the context for my question. Your idealism is getting in the way of this discussion, I think.
I get where you're coming from and generally agree. The trouble is that the integrated tools are all pretty bad, in my experience. If I can use DataGrip instead of some VS Code extension called "Database Client", I'm going to use DataGrip. I will often even prefer pgsql for many tasks. A mediocre tool might save time here and there because it's convenient, but I find their broader impact is poorer work done in worse ways.

Of course, this is all opinion in a very subjective context. Some people do best-in-class work with terrible tools.
Just wait. By year 2 of Trump 2.0, China is going to be the global good guy that Europe and Latin America make their new best friend.

WD mixed both CMR and SMR for the WD Purple, an a few other models too. The CMR wouldn't see any write amplification. But the SMR will suffer from all of the usual SMR limitations. Most importantly that it's only really useful with sequential writes, on top of the write amplification.

Actually the Purple only has one distinguishing characteristic. An ATA command to skip bad sectors instead of trying to read/write repeatedly. This is great for an NVR but it's not mandatory to use.
Github is definitely quite the source of spam. I ended up realizing that when I was tired of having two .gitconfigs with two email addresses (work/personal) and switched to just putting my @users.noreply.github.com in there. No more spam.

A better setup on paper would be this CPU and motherboard combination with 12x64GB DIMMs:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16819113866

https://www.newegg.com/supermicro-h13ssl-nt-amd-epyc-9004-se...

As for memory, these two kits should work (both are needed for the full 12 DIMMs):

https://www.newegg.com/owc-256gb/p/1X5-005D-001G0

https://www.newegg.com/owc-512gb/p/1X5-005D-001G4

Since it would be a 2DPC configuration, the memory would be limited to 4400MT/sec unless you overclock it. That would give 422.4GB/sec, which should be enough to run the full model at 11 tokens per second according to a simple napkin math calculation. In practice, it might not run that fast. If the memory is overclocked, getting to 16 tokens per second might be possible (according to napkin math).

The subtotal for the linked parts alone is $5,139.98. It should stay below $6000 even after adding the other things needed, although perhaps it would be more after tax.

Note that I have not actually built this to know how it works in practice. My description here is purely hypothetical.

Nah they're just trying to police other people's behavior with nostalgia-bait. The fact that you think there is a group of people who are actually mad at reading this and are trying to minimize any criticism as gender bias is...something.
DeepSeek V3 and even Janus has all software open sourced and R1 should be fully open sourced as well soon. More importantly, they explicitly spelled out their methodology in a published paper for DeepSeek R1. Implementation is not as important imo but we'll get that soon as well

Watches, not gps units. Why is the garmin approach unit and garmin bike gps different products? why cant I get a unit that can do both of these things and also abrogate hiking trail maps? Storage is dirt cheap in 2025 is it not? So I don't think its a matter of cramming a limited number of functions on a few kb internal storage like the old days.
Thank you for sharing! A year or two after you got your 1000, my dad bought the family an Amiga 500. It began my love of computing, gave me a scrappy hacker mind set (owning an Amiga in the US a rarity), and ultimately sowed the seeds of my career.
> It seems he was virtue signaling before.

Yes, the first mistake was a business leader in tech taking a public political position. It was popular and accepted (if not expected) in the valley in 2016.

Doing that then (and banking the social and reputational proceeds) created the problem of dissonance now. If he'd just stayed neutral in public in 2016, he could do what he's doing now and we could assume he's just being a pragmatic business person lobbying the government to further his company's interests.
He co-authored Senate Bill 239, which lowered the penalty of exposing someone to HIV without their knowledge and consent from a felony to a misdemeanor

That Scott Wiener? How does he still have a job?
I would say any large corporation should meet higher standards of public benefit.
With respect this is a fairly daft comment
The "good" news is that neither Anthropic nor OpenAI are based in Europe, so I don't have to feel like they're burning my taxpayer money.

The "bad" news is that so far I've yet to see a serious contender emerging from that part of the world (although the Middle East has invested heavily in LLMs due to obvious cultural differences).

>Characterizing device information and IP addresses as "privacy violations" is a stretch.

I agree: this is a characterization I never made. FYI, I also collect this type of data about you when you visit my website. That said, telemetry + totalitarianism = bad combo.

>Irrelevant. The data collection is done by first parties. Encryption doesn't do anything.

Even if data is collected by first parties, encryption is still highly relevant because it ensures that the data remains secure in transit and at rest. It does a lot.

>What does this have to do with privacy? Again, it's fine to be against "blatant algorithmic manipulation of social platforms" or whatever, but dragging seemingly unrelated topics in an attempt to amass as big pile of greviances as possible is disingenuous.

You are aggressive for no reason whatsoever. There's nothing disingenuous: when users are shadow-banned by platforms under dictatorships, they end up flagged, and their private data is often analyzed for nefarious reasons. There's a link with privacy but I'll stop at this stage if we cannot have a civilized discussion.

>Where's the keylogging? I skimmed the article and the only thing I could find was a passing mention about an article that you "was advised not to publish it and I didn’t". How much keylogging could possibly going on in a short video app? Is the "keylogging" just a way to make "we measure how engaged someone is with a video" as sinister as possible?

“TikTok iOS subscribes to every keystroke (text inputs) happening on third party websites rendered inside the TikTok app. This can include passwords, credit card information and other sensitive user data. (keypress and keydown). We can’t know what TikTok uses the subscription for, but from a technical perspective, this is the equivalent of installing a keylogger on third party websites.”

https://krausefx.com/blog/announcing-inappbrowsercom-see-wha...

Please note that this article is outdated (August 2022). Importantly, the article does not claim that any data logging or transmission is actively occurring. Instead, it highlights the potential technical capabilities of in-app browsers to inject JavaScript code, which could theoretically be used to monitor user interactions.

I ended up downloading it in case it ever gets removed off the internet for whatever reason. Who knows, if VRAM becomes much cheaper in 10 years I might be able to run it locally without spending a fortune on GPUs!

> Google Search doesn't have a network effect. Everyone on HN has been saying Google Search is complete garbage for a decade. It still has the same market share (roughly) as it did a decade ago.

It absolutely does. People use Google for search -> Websites optimise for Google -> People get “better” results when searching with Google.

The fact that it’s market share is sticky and not responding quickly to change in quality is sort of indicative of the network effect.
Links and book recs are great - sounds like a helpful perspective
I agree it would be nice to have the training specifics. Nevertheless everything DeepSeek released is under the MIT license right? So you can go set up a cloud LLM, fine tune it, and, do whatever else you wish with it right? That is pretty significant no?
Ironic. The "right to express discontent against the government" seems to be being curtailed in the UK, and all of London is under CCTV surveillance, so maybe the EU should label its exports "unfair" as well?

https://x.com/thelouperez/status/1852126581872881711?s=46&t=...

And in any case, if your citizens fought for rights for themselves, and won those rights in their own country from their own government, why does that mean it is "unfair" that others in other countries leverage their lack of such rights or privileges for an advantage? Perhaps it is much MORE "unfair" that you are trying to impose your own framework and guarantees on others, who may not have the same per-capita wealth, or the same cultural values!

For example, the "third world" is complaining that you "first world people" cut down all your trees over centuries, used a lot of fossil fuels and built up your economies, and now you've put in place standards that you expect them to follow, so they can't build up their own economies. You want Brazil to preserve its rainforest, but you didn't preserve your own forests. This concept of "unfair" that you're espousing is quite dubious and hypocritical!

The JVM does not have ‘all the advantages of a fully native language’: fully native code does not need a runtime, or a garbage collector.
You must be extraordinarily polite to say something that mild after that many failed tries. I mutter expletives at chatGPT much sooner. AIR (AI induced rage) is going to be a thing. I just hope it doesn't start to reverse affect how I behave with people.
I hope they learn from the terrible job of stewardship of tech the west has done and don't repeat our mistakes.
Hah. I just don't want it in public schools. Attract people to your church and beliefs, don't use state power to force them on everyone. Thanks.
model weights != binaries
I was playing with a self-hosted model a while back and instructed it to only give answers that were unhelpful, vague, and borderline rude.

It worked surprisingly well a lot of the time! But most of the time it also kinda broke the model in terms of coherent answers because it was obviously trained for the exact opposite thing.
This does not look correct. For example [1]:

DEA (diethanolamine) and DEA compounds are used to
make cosmetics creamy or sudsy. DEA also acts as a
pH adjuster, counteracting the acidity of other
ingredients. DEA is mainly found in moisturizers
and sunscreens, while cocamide and lauramide DEA
are found in soaps, cleansers, and shampoos.

China subsidizes supply, the US subsidizes demand. Communism in China and Russia was always about out-capitalizing the capitalists.
If you want money to provide a social good without the expectation that the money will be paid back, you're asking for a donation. You can also ask for money as a loan, fee for service, etc.

But an actual investment isn’t “investing in our community” it’s asking for money in exchange for to potential to gain more money etc.
In a zero sum game kinda way, the game that America understands.
I don't know. Living in a country where being able to shoot people is an absolute, immutable, inalienable right granted by God himself (more so than anything else in the Bill of Rights) but where access to food, shelter, healthcare and education are all expensive privileges subject to the whims of the free market, and where half of the population doesn't even believe viruses are real, and where you don't even need the popular vote to elect a President (it's just nice to have) because the electoral system is a series of 18th century compromises to keep slavers happy... doesn't seem like the best of all possible worlds to me.
> I have no idea what this foreign policy is meant to accomplish. Even if you were the most patriot of US patriots, I have no idea why you'd support this policy.

Because the vast majority of Republicans in this country have no fucking idea how e̶c̶o̶n̶o̶m̶i̶c̶s̶ anything works, and no desire to learn. The entire platform now is fuck liberals.

And they still won't learn even after they lose their pensions, their federal funding, jobs, whatever else. They're married to the dumbass now. The best we can hope for is the rest of us riding out their finding out phase of their fuck around journey.
These mini models are NOT the DeepSeek R1.

> DeepSeek-R1-Distill models are fine-tuned based on open-source models, using samples generated by DeepSeek-R1.

The amount of confusion on the internet because of this seems surprisingly high. DeepSeek R1 has 670B parameters, and it's not easy to run it on local hardware.

There are some ways to run it locally, like https://unsloth.ai/blog/deepseekr1-dynamic which should let you fit the dynamic quant into 160GBs of VRAM, but the quality will suffer.
