I think one good thing to come out of all this tech elite flip flopping is that I now see these tech leaders for exactly who they are. It makes me kind of sad, because as someone who came of age early in the Web era I really wanted to believe that there was a bigger moral good to all we were doing.

I now view any moralistic statement by any of these big tech companies as complete and total bullshit, which is probably for the best, because that is what it is. These companies now exist solely to amass power and wealth. They will still use moralistic language to try to motivate their employees, but I hope folks still see it for the complete nonsense that it is.
> Although to be honest all this aggressive scraping is noticeable but for people who understand that which is not majority of people.

When you say noticeable, do you mean in like, traffic statistics? Or in what the model knows that it clearly shouldn't if it wasn't trained in legally dubious ways?
Also, though it's not "new information": "Making AI that is smarter than almost all humans at almost all things [...] is most likely to happen in 2026-2027." continues to sail over everybody's head, not a single comment about it, even to shit on it. People will continue to act as though they are literally blind to this, as though they literally don't see it.
I'd love to see the training data open sourced for all models so we can be sure no copyright material has been used. Just kidding, we all know it's stolen.

You do not have a right to other people's work. I should not be forced to give you food because you are too lazy to do it yourself. If you do not work, you do not eat, just like Jamestown.
Yes, the Chinese didn't like colonizing. They actually preferred complete extermination. The West has been much too kind in this regard.
Also slavery is a European thing? Cute! I think indeed we have been much too kind with foreigners, they somehow managed to thing that the laws, ethics and technology we gave them are just innate things found in nature, when in fact they are just European culture. Just like exploring the entire planet, cataloging its history and animals. We in fact had an extremely small amount of slaves compared to Arabs or Asians and to your lament we ended slavery. Somehow you still found ways to do it to this day though. Additionally the society with the most slaves in history has been Korea. And the time of us accepting millions of immigrants desperate to either live with us or copy us and then tell us how much greater their own societies are, will end soon. You are free to go and live there with your own people.

A tiny bit of this (excellent!) interview led to the story we're all commenting on.

The 2 DeepSeek R1 distilled models available through Ollama are actually very low quality Qwen and Llama models frankensteinged with DeepSeek R1. They cannot be used to judge capabilities of the original DeepSeek R1 in any way, shape, or form.

Ollama and LM Studio cause so much confusion because people simply use their pre-packaged models and not exploring and comparing to what else is available on the market (HuggingFace).
You have four Amiga 1000 or Amigas in general?
Have you looked at the map of China in the past? Much of the West and North was only recently conquered in the same time period as Colonialism, and the South prior to that. Xinjiang literally means "New Frontier", and the ongoing tensions can be viewed as the continuation of such colonialism in modern times.
Most comments are empty generalizations.
In 2011. Seems like that should be in the title.
I think you're missing the point being made here, IMHO: using an advanced model to build high quality training data (whatever that means for a given training paradigm) absolutely would increase the efficiency of the process. Remember that they're not fighting over sounding human, they're fighting over deliberative reasoning capabilities, something that's relatively rare in online discourse.

No Mans Sky is a pretty fun game nowadays. If you're less interested in the Eve Online ideals of corporate bureaucracy in space and you just want to explore some neat looking empty planets, it's the premier game of it's kind. I pre-ordered it after watching the infamous IGN trailer[0] and was disappointed like everyone else, but today I'm very happy with where the game is and can easily recommend it at the $30 price point where it goes on sale.

Game is availible natively for Windows and MacOS, supports Linux and supports multiplayer across consoles and PC clients.

Usual blood work panel tends to be excellent for post covid suffers. So no widely available diagnostic abilities so far, except looking for hallmark symptoms and trying to get slightest hints from the blood work variations.

Potentially, for mild and heavy forms of post-covid, measuring blood lactate and bicarbonate levels may be helpful [0]. But nobody seems to care enough to follow up with organized evaluations to introduce it into general practice.

You don’t even need to visit china, just read the latest research papers and look at the authors. China has more researchers in AI than the West and that’s a proven way to build an advantage.
To be sure, DeepSeek did great work, and this is a bit aside from TFA. But the PTX thing is a bit of meme? What do we think torch.compile and triton and llvm's nvptx backend are doing under the hood? The warp-specialization thing quoted in [1] cites to a _2014_ paper[2] out of Stanford ...

Sure. Anything is possible.

But this is a case of a person with no positive Covid tests or symptoms suddenly developing heart failure mere days after getting the booster.

There is this absurd idea that unlike every other vaccine, the Covid vaccines have absolutely no harmful side effects for anyone, ever.
> "When the customer asks a lot of things, we have learned to respond to every request," Chang said. "Some of them were crazy, some of them were irrational, [but] we respond to each request courteously. […] Intel has never done that, I knew a lot of customers of Intel's here in Taiwan and all [of them] wished that there were another supplier."

Companies just don't get it, that customer service is almost always the most important aspect of the company. The customer will put up with a lot of bullshit if communication is rock solid.

Handing off your customer service to agents that don't have reading comprehension, who don't have any authority, or who are completely non-understanding is going to hurt business.

And I'm not talking about customer service that can write flully emails thanking and apologizing and butt kissing, I'm talking about good customer service is when the agent understands the request, takes it seriously, runs it up the flag pole if needed, and can act on it.

My understanding is that this is a (somewhat) open-source project that does music generation. I haven't read the license to see how permissive it truly is, but being someone who has been involved in this space for a while, I can say that we definitely need more open-source projects. Suno is great but completely walled off.

So yeah YueAI team... if you're really going to keep this project open... don't listen to the haters and keep going.
It makes more sense for a defense contractor like Boeing to have a substantial office (if not their HQ) in DC given the Pentagon and all the program offices in the area. Especially since lobbying is the only way they can get business, not by the quality of their work. For non defense/intelligence contractors it makes much less sense to be in that area other than a small office at most.

Reminds me of the "running on cars!" video that went over some of the teaching tricks in older video games. How it would show a new enemy or mechanic in a way that is safe, but then drop you in on it with changes such that they feel different. The final "climb" of Super Mario Brothers is a great example. Just taking out the lower parts of the tower adds to the tension, when it should have no impact.
Does EU block websites that don't comply with their laws?

If DeepSeek becomes popular in America I predict it will be blocked, national firewall style. Will EU do the same?
I feel like this is a damning statement this about the current political environment. Someone like Zuck thinks it is a useful to his company if he spends a significant amount of time away from it in DC dealing with political things. I'd imagine most people would agree that CEOs should be focused on the act of running their businesses rather than managing political situations.
If Europe and Latin America want to buddy up with the concentration camp gang, I really don't care. We do not need fascists and communists as our partners.
> They just don't have any capacity for producing the chip density that Apple demands.

TFA says that the "Intel just does not know how to be a foundry" quote is from 2011 (14 years ago), and referred to Intel's lack of a "customer-centric mindset" rather than specific manufacturing capabilities.
The training techniques are a breakthrough no matter what data is used. It's not up for debate, it's an empirical question with a concrete answer. They can and did train orders of magnitude faster.
> training off of data generated by another AI is generally a bad idea

Ah. So if I understand this... once the internet becomes completely overrun with AI-generated articles of no particular substance or importance, we should not bulk-scrape that internet again to train the subsequent generation of models.

I look forward to that day.
I don't think this theory holds any water. You can be a fossil nerd without ever finding any interesting fossils yourself, there is no instant gratification and no on demand availability. There are countless other counterexamples.
(2011). And Cook was right. I worked at Intel for a few years during that decade and the foundry efforts were just not set up for success; in my area, they hired a bunch of new people, put up a firewall between us internal folks and the foundry folks, then without any guidance turned them loose. I was not even allowed to talk to them to troubleshoot equipment issues. They also got all of the equipment that we’d rejected for various reasons like poor process control, so they were newbies with worse equipment trying to start up a new group without help beyond what vendors would provide (for $$$)

I have no insight into the customer facing side
That's how I understand it too.

If your own API can leak your secret sauce without any malicious penetration, well, that's on you.
The compiler is allowed to assume the results of malloc and certain other allocation functions do not alias.

Restrict does too.
That's just inference code.
I've been waiting for this to happen, very excited to start using it.

This is a great lead up to my talk at DuckCon 6 on Friday in Amsterdam.

It’s title is: “Airport for DuckDB: Letting DuckDB take Apache Arrow Flights”

You can stream it at: https://duckdb.org/events/2025/01/31/duckcon6/

You’ll see how DuckDB can integrate with Arrow Flight for reading/writing/creating tables, scalar user defined functions, table returning functions, table in/out streaming functions, row/column filtering and anything else I can breeze through in 15 minutes.

It all starts with a single call to ATTACH with the URL of the Arrow Flight server.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42861210 provides more context:

"Employees who accept deferred resignation should promptly have their duties re-assigned or eliminated and be placed on paid administrative leave until the end of the deferred resignation period (generally, September 30, 2025, unless the employee has elected another earlier resignation date), unless the agency head determines that it is necessary for the employee to be actively engaged in transitioning job duties, in which case employees should be placed on administrative leave as soon as those duties are transitioned."
Actually no! If we take their paper at face value, the crucial innovation to get a strong model with efficiency is their much reduced KV cache and their MoE approach:
- where a standard model needs to store two large vectors for each token at inference time (and load/store those over and over from memory) deepseek v3/R1 only stores one smaller vector C that is a „compression“ from which the large k,v vectors can be decoded on the fly.
- They use a fairly standard Mixture of Expert (MoE) approach, which works well in training with their tricks, but whose inference time advantages are immediate and equal to all other MoE techniques, which is to say that from ~85% of the 600B+ params that are inside the MoE layers, the model at each token inference step will only pick a small fraction to use. This reduces FLOPs and memory io by a large factor in comparison to a so-called dense model where all weights are used for every token (cf Llama 3 405B)
It doesn't need to write tests: it can just use the application and figure out if it works.
> 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)...

2A provides access to weapons. It doesn't allow people to murder one another.

> but where access to food, shelter, healthcare and education are all expensive privileges subject to the whims of the free market,...

Article 1 Section 8 doesn't enumerate Congress the power to provide any of those things.

What's more, I beieve the Federal government shouldn't. Rights should only ever be negative unless being a counterparty to positive action taken by the government (e.g., it makes sense to provide public defenders since it is reactionary to the government trying to take away your rights).

Healthcare, education, etc. are better served by the private sector with charity as the supplement for the less fortunate.

> 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...

The electorial system is designed to prevent tyranny of the majority and is biased towards inaction. This seems better than a pure democracy to me because most government action is bad: inefficient, introduces moral hazard, etc.

In a system of pure democracy, the bottom 51% can vote to tax the top 49%'s income away. Then the next iteration the new bottom 51% can vote the same. Eventually this could lead to purely even distributions. That seems wildly worse for society: all incentive to produce would be void.
> Proofs about reality are not self contradicting.

Absolutely they are! Proofs are a deductive concept with no basis in reality. This is basic Hume. All we can work with is inductive and abductive reasoning, neither of which is sufficient for a proof.
It’s not a good look when your technology is replicated for a fraction of the cost, and your response is to smear your competition with (probably) false accusations and cozy up to the US government to tighten already shortsighted export controls. Hubris & xenophobia are not going to serve American companies well. Personally I welcome the Chinese - or anyone else for that matter - developing advanced technologies as long as they are used for good. Humanity loses if we allow this stuff to be “owned” by a handful of companies or a single country.
The earlier machines had much higher quality capacitors that are mostly still OK afaik. Consensus (if I may be so bold as to try to represent it) in the Amiga community today is: definitely recap the later Amigas (A600, A1200, A4000, CD32) with their cheaper SMT caps that usually leak and slowly destroy the motherboard, but A1000* and A500 usually don’t need it.

*The caps on the motherboard, anyway. I am not sure about the durability of the internal PSUs. I haven’t bothered to replace anything in either of the A1000s I acquired recently.
What's the Steve Jobs mouse story?
does it matter if the company gets banned? other non-chinese companies can pick up the open source model and run it as a service with relatively low investment, isn't that the point?
Yes, all the poor are simply lazy, and you yourself have never ever benefited from the collective labor of society.
The article is talking about Intel's capabilities almost 15 years ago. EUVL is not part of the conversation. This was when Intel was bringing up their first FinFET process.

It's pretty widely known and documented that Intel at that time was in a horrible position to be a foundry for outside designers, especially ones that wanted to be able to design for more than one foundry.
>"Induced Demand" is a misnomer, as the demand was always there at the given price.

That's not necessarily true. Suppose you're the government and you produce food for free, and every year people eat everything you make, and everyone is well-fed. You decide you want to prepare for a famine, so this year you start more farms such that next year you make 20% more food. The first two months you're able to save, but when people see that there's more food available, they change their habits and start doing even more exercise than before, and so they eat more until they eat all the food every month again.
What part of the results of the last election make you think that the majority of the American public would care if Israel dropped poison on the Palestinians and killed them all?

A large minority of the US literally thinks that Israel needs to be protected at all costs to make sure that when the rapture comes, Jesus will need some place to come back to.

https://www.arkdiscovery.com/rapture_israel.htm
True, providing complete military support, with special deliveries of bombs and ordinance to Israel, knowing full well that it will go towards obliterating a city and killing tens of thousands of civilians is more humane. It's not genocide if an ally is doing it!
The parkinson brain surgeries work. They have proven to have worked. They wouldn't do them if they didn't work. They work almost miraculously. The problem is that Parkinson gets worse, you can't stop it. So the surgeries will work for a specific complaint but new symptoms will eventually arise.
R1 is--as far as we know from good ol' ClosedAI--far more efficient. Even if it were a "clone", A) that would be a terribly impressive achievement on its own that Anthropic and Google would be mighty jealous of, and B) it's at the very least a distillation of O1's reasoning capabilities into a more svelte form.
Yeah, well, it's not _just_ PTX. Think about what you would do if you had to work in a resource-constrained system (that's a mindset I closely relate to since I still do C++ for MCUs, and it makes you dig _under_ the libraries to save resources).
My parents are poor boomers that could have been rich boomers if they had any self control at all. Instead they pissed away opportunities and money and now they sit and complain they don't have enough. If they had to live as I do, they'd be wealthy due to how high their earning power was in the 70s and 80s.
The house has actually introduced legislation to remove the "hot food" part. It's been referred to a subcommittee of the Agriculture committee, but I can't find any hint that they've even discussed it. I've actually struggled to find any evidence that the subcommittee has discussed anything.

I agree with you that it seems likely that some legislators would fight to keep it with some bad arguments, but right now they haven't even had to make those bad arguments because nobody is pushing it.

The conclusion I can draw is that nobody cares about it. It was included for free market reasons and kept around because nobody gave a shit.

Well said. I work in networking, and I use Sublime for editing router configurations before updating them/applying them etc.
I love that it's fast and performant and isn't chock-full of IDE features.
I've been a vim user for almost all my life, but a workmate showed me him editing configs using Sublime and he was so fast and quick (especially multiple pointers) - plus we use git a lot (sublime merge) so I tried it and was very impressed.
I still use vim a lot, but I simply love Sublime Text (and Merge) as well.
Cerebras already does this.
Yet another anecdote, but my wife and I both got COVID. I was quite a bit sicker than she was.

I later found out that I'm a type II diabetic, and almost certainly was at the time I had COVID given the timing. I had fairly severe fatigue symptoms preceding that diagnosis, and the diet/exercise changes I made to bring that under control look a lot like what your wife did, and also seem to have alleviated the fatigue.

There was about a 12 month separation between recovering from COVID and my own fatigue symptoms. Had the timing been a bit different I likely would have assumed I was suffering from long COVID, and would probably have been less inclined to see a doctor as a result.

None of this is to suggest that any given person is suffering from diabetes, that long COVID should be treated the same way, or that any given person with long COVID is self diagnosing. For anyone that is though, definitely consider talking to a doctor. Coincidences happen and you could have something that is both unrelated and treatable going on.
Everyone qualified to speak on such things was pretty universally in agreement that the previous law was increasing the spread of HIV rather than decreasing it, as the primary effect it had was that sex workers would refuse to get tested.
Why are people so willing to believe false proofs/headlines? Clickbait has existed for decades yet I still believe people are as gullible as the first day. Articles like this and from sites like phys.org are great examples of the case in point they regularly get hundreds of upvotes based on completely ridiculous and false promises.

No, and this isn't the concept of Zero Trusts fault. This is inexperience and/or a lack of competency from your security people and your support people. Although, more likely given that two "silos" are impacted, systemic organizational issues that aren't going to go away.
