This may make sense if there is a centralized force to dictate how much these Chinese foundational model companies charge for their models. I know in the west people just blanketly believes that the state controls everything in China. However it can't be further from the truth. Most of the Chinese foundational model companies like moonshot, 01.ai, minimax, etc used to try to make money on those models. The VC money raised by those companies are in them to make money, not to voluntarily advance state competativeness. Deepseek is just an outlier backed by a billionaire. This billionaire has long been given money to various charities by hundered of millions per year before deepseek. Open-source SOTA models are not out-of-character move for him given his track record.

The thing is, model is in effect a piece of software that has almost 0 marginal cost. You just need a few, maybe even one company to release SOTA models consistently to really crash the valuation of every model companies because every one can acquire that single piece of software without cost to leave other model companies by themselves. The foundational model scene is basically in an extremely unstable state readily to return to a stable state of the model cost goes to 0. You really don't need the state competition assumption to explain the current state of affairs.

Because that one-liner will result in the model instantly running on your machine, which is much more useful than trying to figure out all the dependencies, invariably failing, and deciding that technology is horrible and that all you ever wanted was to be a carpenter.
Generally, when someone reaches 80, they tend to live another 7 or 8 years.

Whether he declines before then, to a point of uselessness for the republicans, is a different question. Also I'm assuming someone is pumping him full of every drug available to prevent his decline as much as possible.

vance seems to think he's next in line, having been anointed by the billionaire class, but he's all hatred and no charisma. Although saying that, he may just shuffle into the top spot when it's impossible to dislodge him. Or he may just get accepted by whichever bot farms drive the rightwing social media frenzy.

I'm personally hoping that their general fascist incompetence will fuck their chances of an everlasting reich.
> I doubt Norway and Sweden are the easiest to reach from Berlin, for instance.

Do you mean for delivering cars? A quick search suggests they used to be moved by road, but are now moved by rail.

I don't see why Norway and Sweden are any more difficult to deliver to than anywhere else. Over 150 freight trains cross the bridge from Denmark to Sweden every day.

You can't extrapolate from the last 6 months, especially with technologies this new. There's no Moore's Law of LLMs. Context windows are still tiny and the codebases that actually run our world are still huge.

Let me rephrase that. This time next year I expect that I will be disappointed but you will still be predicting a completely different universe... next year.
History shows us that things actually go pretty well for the money man you just gotta remember to bring extra water rations when you march into Asia. I always liked to imagine him rallying his troops by telling them that Parthia meant virgin in greek or something like that Παρθία/παρθένος

Lots of examples from American history too though where things turn out better like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Girard
An idea I had (not sure if correct) is that many people have a similar amount of "work ethic", but distribute it differently. So, for example, person A can invest nearly 100% into their job and will be perceived to be "extremely hardcore", while person B might have the exact same absolute amount, but only allocate a fraction to their job, distributing the rest to other activities. This person will be "normal". Most people should limit the allocation to their job because they have very limited upside. Most entrepreneurs should allocate much more than employees because of less limited upside.

I feel like many bosses want people to allocate more to a job, but don't offer the corresponding upside.

Hey, person with ADHD here. It is not impossible and you are victimizing all of us by stating it is.

There are extreme methods you can take that legitimately solve for the "defective wiring", such as meditating 10 hours a day. It's not permanent once you go off it, but you, yes you, can read a novel straight through.

But you don't actually need to go that far to reap 80 percent of the benefits. Real, effective protocols lower the threshold for stimulation. Constant novelty (seeking escape in external stimuli such as phones and computers) exacerbate our symptoms.

This whole identifying as a person with ADHD thing has gone way too far, and I say this as someone who has struggled with it my entire life.

You can do something about it and that something about it isn't only restricted to medication.
Assisting with model simulation for research and development

Various scientific disciplines use complex algorithms and simulations to model natural phenomena. For instance, in biology, simulations are used to understand genetic algorithms, while in physics, researchers might model the behavior of particles. Code analysis helps validate these algorithms, ensuring that they produce accurate and reliable results. Tools like linting and formatting can maintain code quality, which is crucial for reproducible research...
That chart is showing all cars (not just electric); BYD is too small a part of the market to show up right now. Same with GWM/Ora, possibly due to calling their first Europe-targeted car the "Ora Good Cat" (sadly, they eventually hired someone who had at least heard of marketing, and it's now called something boring). SAIC is there.

Chinese electric cars are available here, but not, as yet, particularly popular.
So true. It took me five times longer to get my app on the App Store than it did to vibe code it.
Trump and the MAGA cult is far bigger than Musk. Musk was against Trump, and actually backed DeSantis. Did not matter at all.

If Trump turned his cult against Musk, Musk would be done. Immediately all of the bootlickers and retweeters would deride everything Musk has said or done. Musk's money would be meaningless, and he'd be the next "Soros" in their minds.

Musk clearly cares incredibly about whether Twitter makes money, and has been desperately flailing around to try to make it viable. They're currently suing advertisers who don't advertise there, which is farcical. Musk really believed his grand "we'll be your bank!" thing would be some simple thing (because everything is super easy to do for someone who doesn't actually understand or do any of it)
I mean, maybe he meant to point out that south korea as a country focuses way too much on this work culture and he might've sacrificed his precious family time / just became a "well off cog" in this huge machine.

Maybe he was passionate.
Maybe he felt obliged / motivated even to prove to others who helped him get to CEO that he was the right choice.

But in the end , like all people , he died.

In the end , all he had after all his efforts were inheritance and obituary.

We might never know if his final moments were full of regret or full of acceptance & happiness.

Death is just one breath away. Knocking on our doors. Our fragile egos can't understand death but it very desperately tries to.

I am not sure why but I really wish to end my comment with the famous quote by Albert Camus, "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." (Not sure, if it really relates to the other paragraphs in this comment but I for one felt like that so I am just writing it out here)

Leslie Lamport's SCaLE 22x Keynote: Think, Abstract, Then Code

Lamport argued for a fundamental shift in programming approach, emphasizing thinking and abstraction before coding, applicable to all non-trivial code, not just concurrent systems.

Abstraction First: Define an abstract view (the "what" and "how") of your program before writing code. This high-level design clarifies logic and catches errors early. Focus on ideas, not specific languages.

Algorithms != Programs: Algorithms are abstract concepts; programs are concrete implementations.

Executions as States: Model program executions as sequences of states, where each state's future depends only on its present. This simplifies reasoning, especially for concurrency.

Invariants are Crucial: Identify invariants—properties true for all states of all executions. Understanding these is essential for correctness.

Precise Specifications Matter: Many library programs lack clear specifications, hindering correct usage, particularly with concurrency. precise, language-independent descriptions of functionality are necessary.

Writing is Thinking: Writing forces clarity and exposes sloppy thinking. Thinking improves writing. It's a virtuous cycle.

Learn to Abstract: Abstraction is a core skill, central to mathematics. Programmers need to develop this ability.

AI for Abstraction? The question was raised whether or not AI models could be utilized for abstract thought processes in programming, due to their seeming nature.

The core message: Programming should be a deliberate process of thoughtful design (abstraction) followed by implementation (coding), with a strong emphasis on clear specifications and understanding program behavior through state sequences and invariants. Thinking is always better than not thinking.
>These fine-grained attempts at parsing the words to mean things other than how they are commonly used doesn't serve any purpose.

It's meant to differentiate human "programmers" from AI "coders". Ever since LLM showed up there has been a noticeable urge to redefine the value proposition of software work to be less about what LLMs can do (write code) and more about what humans can do (write programs).

That makes sense. Do you know the reason for Firefox being more sensitive? Is their DNS prefetching not as effective?
It sounded like you were saying that grok is doing none of the censoring that anything else is doing. And I don't think it's a red herring, since it was definitely doing that in the past
Hmm.

Why is anyone talking about gene modification then?

Serious question.

Why not just get rid of mosquitos?

If you can't just get rid of them, it's unlikely that you can modify the genes of all of them.

If you can introduce something to modify the genes of all of them, then you can introduce something to eliminate them all as well.

It seems that elimination is actually easier. Or at worst just as easy. What is it we gain from gene modification?
Could it be that we, as a society, have been played? Bitterness doesn't seem like an unnatural reaction to that. Stages of grief and all.

As I look around at the state of software development in the tech industry,
I see a desperate need for more pedantry, not less.
As a whole the industry seems bent on selling garbage that barely works,
then gradually making it worse in pursuit of growth-at-all-costs.

When nobody cares if their systems work in any meaningful way,
of course they'll dismiss anything that hints are rigor and professionalism as pedantry.
See I don't believe that per se, he could have had both; were he to stop putting all R&D into infeasible money sinks like autopilot (which he had promised / upsold people to, so scrapping it would've led to multi billion lawsuits) and meme / prestige projects like Cybertruck and instead pushed more into making electric cars affordable, AND if tesla expanded and opened up / expanded the supercharger + solar panel + battery network, it would've been a fine multi billion dollar company with longevity - especially the infrastructure stuff would be long term revenue.

SpaceX is narrow; specialized, high revenue per launch, but not that many launches (although they're doing more than any other company), whereas tesla is broad, no longer unique but potentially big volume of car sales and recurring revenue from infrastructure and maintenance, could have been a competitor to GE and the like.
Most web apps are IO bound, not CPU. JS is just as fast at IO as any other language.
FTA: “Ben has enabled autopilot data sharing, which is the reason for the high data usage.”

Still, 900GB in a month is about 20MB per minute, including hours that the car wasn’t driving.

Does that upload a full recording of your car’s cameras to Tesla?
Or he thought 'the people' would support him.

That's an opinion, which I shared.

The problem is that we believe this opinion-driven effect is proved by the dip in sales, but the numbers can easily be explained by a simpler reason: the Model Y, which accounts for 2/3 of the company sales, was refreshed in mid-January. Tesla had only 12 days of inventory at the beginning of the quarter. It took 3-5 days for the production lines to get back online and even more time to ramp up. Deliveries of the Model Y started in week 2 of March (at least in Europe). And it takes time to reach out most states/markets. Tesla moves the fastest in China, and we're seeing very good sales trend: close to full volume and they should reach ~130,000 sales, as much as Q1 2024 despite the production lines being down for weeks.

It's one (good) thing to oppose Musk and his disregard for Tesla's mission (accelerate the transition to renewable energy) but it's a mistake to explain a drop in deliveries a sales issue when the missing cars just couldn't be produced due to planned downtime.
I take it you have never spent any time outside where there's lots of them. If you go out without protection, they'll mercilessly sting every bit of exposed skin. Depending on your genes and the mosquitoes', the stings can swell heavily. Some of them sting so deep that you cannot get rid of the itching and inflammation with a heat pen.

As soon as you stand still, you'll find yourself in thick cloud of the bastards within 20 seconds. If you use repellent (picaridine does work to keep them from stining but isn't exactly healthy), they will still buzz around you and slowly drive you mad. If you use netting, some get through the inevitable gaps and some will obviously get inside your tent/car/house when you open them.

The sound of thousands of them flying around you just triggers some primal revulsion. Around sundown, their activity gets so intense that it literally sounds like a drone, if they're a large variety it even sounds a bit like a distant hornet swarm.

All in all, I don't think we can become friends. But at least they're more pleasant than black flies and deer flies.
There is a Java implementation as well with benchmarks. But yes, C++ has no JIT, although doing some warm up is also advised for benchmarking in general.
I'd wait for March / April numbers. Sales went down mostly because people were waiting for the new model Y. Over the years the pattern has always been the same. News reports say that something bad happens to Tesla, but when the actual results come up it's the opposite.

Most of the backlash / protests you are hearing about is manufactured i.e. not based on any rational cause. This kind of protest doesn't hold for long term.
I'm sure this is how they lost their first mover advantage, by choosing to reinvent the proverbial wheel of car manufacture instead of partnering with e.g. VAG, Ford, or even a Chinese company.
Maybe the author is questioning if the journey was worth it?

Did he feel in the moments leading up to his death ,that his influence was used in the most effective ways or did he feel regret about the ways he used his influence.

To be honest, I think money can have diminishing returns after some point, and maybe with his CEO , he got a lot of responsibilities which might have really stressed him out (which potentially , increases heart attack rate)
Key points:

Algorithm vs. Program: An algorithm is a high-level, abstract concept implementable in various programming languages. We should focus on the ideas, not specific languages.

Concurrency Challenges: Concurrent programs are hard due to thread interleaving, leading to numerous possible executions. Debugging is unreliable, and changes can expose hidden bugs.

Abstraction is Key: Find an abstract view of the program, especially for concurrency, describing how threads synchronize. This higher-level thinking is crucial before coding.

All programs: any piece of code that requires thinking before you write code.

What and How: For most programs, write both "what" the program does and "how" it does it. Precise languages (like Lamport's TLA+) are vital for verifying concurrent programs but not essential for all.

Trivial Example: A simple "max element in array" function illustrates how abstraction simplifies even trivial problems. It revealed a bug in the initial "what" (handling empty arrays) and led to a more robust solution using mathematical concepts (minus infinity).

Executions as State Sequences: View program executions as sequences of states, where the next state depends solely on the current one. This simplifies understanding.

Invariants: An invariant is a condition true for all states of all executions. Understanding invariants is crucial for proving program correctness.

Termination: The example program doesn't always terminate, showcasing the need to consider termination conditions.

Real-World TLA+ Usage: Amazon Web Services uses TLA+ to find design flaws before coding, saving time and money. The Rosetta mission's operating system, Virtuoso, used TLA+ for a cleaner architecture and 10x code reduction.

Abstraction Beyond Concurrency: Even when the "what" is imprecise (like a pretty-printer), abstraction helps by providing high-level rules, making debugging easier.

Thinking and Writing: Thinking requires writing. Writing helps you think better, and vice versa.

Learn Abstraction: Abstraction is central to math. Programmers should learn to think abstractly, possibly with guidance from mathematicians.

Why Programs Should Have Bugs: Library programs often lack precise descriptions, making them hard to use correctly. This is especially true for concurrent programs where input/output relations aren't sufficient.

Lamport emphasizes that programming should be about thoughtful design through abstraction before coding. He advocates viewing executions as state sequences, understanding invariants, and using writing to clarify thinking. He also highlights the importance of precise specifications, especially for library programs. He also touches on the issue of whether or not it is better to outsource abstract thinking to AI.
Many of the things Argentina is doing are getting Argentina closer to what the US was. Labor unions have much less power in the US - and so the US was not seeing the problems of a too powerful labor union (or at least not near as many, depending on if you are pro or anti-union you will also argue if we are seeing problems with too weak a union)

In particular Argentina is moving to free trade, while Trump is moving away. Trump also isn't working within the law/constitution to make his cuts while it appears Argentina is.
Interesting that their implementation is Apache 2.0 licensed, yet includes exceptions for LLVM and for GPLv2 licensed code/projects wrt patents.

Does anyone know if the library's quality is on par with the GNU or Clang libraries? Google has their own too, if memory serves. Is there an implementation deemed "the best"?
Did a masters on Vit D.

Multiple overdoses of over 1 million IU have been recovered from without obvious long-term damage present in near term follow up.

Out of vitamin D’s many potentially clinically positive effects some of the clearest and best evidence is for increased muscle strength.

Personally I take between 5000-10000 IU D3 daily depending on exposure to sun intensity.
IMO it's a pure waste of time to react to the headline without engaging the content.
Why SF tech workers are scared to speak up
Not sure why you're being downvoted, so I created an account specifically to respond.

I've had the same issue. Even when I take low doses of 400iu, vitamin D causes extreme anxiety and mood issues that only go away a couple of days after I stop taking it. I've had to completely cut it out and can't take supplements that contain it. I've also taken various brands so I would assume the additives would be different but who knows. If you search this symptom online, you'll find a lot of people with the same reaction but never any explanation.

Definitely interested to see if anyone has had this same issue and was able to fix it.

Anyway, just a word of caution to anyone reading. Because even 400iu makes me feel very uncomfortable. I don't want to know what would happen at 4,000iu.
There's some useful information buried in here and it boils down to "follow a program, follow a diet, be consistent". The last one is the most important - long term consistency beats short term intensity any day. I'd rather show up 100 percent of the time and put in 70 percent than put in 110 percent for a month and burn out or get injured.
