iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
Well I wasn't optimistic about OpenCL in the past, because nobody will bother with that when they can pay a little (or even a lot) more for Nvidia and use CUDA. Even though OpenCL might work in theory with whatever tools someone is using, it's unpopular and therefore less supported. But this time is different.
iforgot22··on Younger cannabis users have reduced brain function, finds largest study yet
Because a single person doesn't need a separate house. In many countries, the default is for children to stay home until they're married. Now, if that person is like 30 and doesn't appear to be going anywhere, maybe that's a problem.

Kids didn't listen to it, but it was right. It painted weed and harder drugs as pointless and dangerous, which they are.

I knew some top students in college who started smoking weed then and continued. They're still programmers or scientists now, which isn't surprising given their education and talent, but something's wrong every time I talk to them. They seem scatterbrained and unable to remember what either of us said a minute ago.

Edit: Forgot to specify, they're in their late 20s now.

D.A.R.E. was right

Coffee isn't good either. Probably a lot less bad than weed, though. And it's always brought up, "why is X illegal but coffee isn't?"

Maybe anyone can copy any LLM with sufficient querying. There are still ways to guard one.

That's a good point, at least for the prompts I saw. Like "do you have an app I can use" is commonly seen with "here's the ChatGPT app" online. And maybe they don't add anything telling Deepseek that it's Deepseek.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
That's true, but I mean it'd be a hundred times worse if Deepseek did this on non-Nvidia cards. Which seems like only a matter of time if we're going to keep doing this.

Or it can just be a normal user who's wrong this time. He looks like a normal user. In theory it could all be a cover, but that'd be ridiculous effort just for HN boards. Throwing those accusations around will make this place more like Twitter or Reddit.

It used to mean someone who's trying to enrage people by baiting ("trolling"), and now it can also mean someone arguing in bad faith. And Chinese troll I guess means someone doing this on behalf of the Chinese govt.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
Agree about the last part, but that doesn't make someone a troll

The Nvidia export restrictions also might be shooting us in the foot too, or at least Nvidia. They really benefit from CUDA remaining the de facto standard.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
If it doesn't work, there's no need to even defend against it. Idc if someone wants to call me racist.

It's not good to talk about other HN users that way, and anyway I don't think it's the case this time
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
I doubt that many people have full access to OpenAI's code. Their team is pretty small.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
I can't? I am going to make that accusation if we're talking about the govt of China.

"Then use R1 output to build a better X1" is the part I'm not sure about. Is X1 going to actually be better than R1?
iforgot22··on I still like Sublime Text
I'm gonna start doing that, cause TextEdit can't even copy-paste reliably, and vim isn't super convenient for this either.

Edit: Wow Sublime is the nicest GUI text editor I've ever seen

iforgot22··on I still like Sublime Text
Yeah, I got used to vim while I was in school and probably wouldn't have put in the investment otherwise. It was worth. I'm not an expert in it, nor do I have a ton of fancy things installed, but it's fast and works in basically any situation (esp over SSH). My coworkers keep getting forced to change IDEs while I stick with vim.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
If the allegations are true, the special thing about OpenAI is that it didn't have to be trained off DeepSeek. But either way, you maybe don't want to invest billions in something if someone else will be able to copy it for less.
iforgot22··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
They might show DeepSeek's model calling itself ChatGPT, which users have already alleged. Same as how Cisco proved Huawei was stealing router code.

Except in this case, nothing was stolen, unless they want to call ChatGPT's own training on source data theft too.

iforgot22··on Composable SQL
I prefer to keep the SQL itself as simple as possible. I've gotten by OK by composing SQL in my outer code as needed. Despite relying crazy heavily on SQL, that's rarely needed. And the outer code has tests.

It'd just be nice if Postgres could loosen the syntax in a few annoying places, like allowing a trailing comma in "WITH q1 AS (...), q2 AS (...)" Or if something could be done to avoid needing the "WHERE true AND" trick.

Excuse me, your blog doesn't display properly in the IceWeasel browser, noscript, FreeBSD, 640x480 monitor. And you're using ipv4, which is deprecated.

ChatGPT 3.5 with the jailbreak was peak. It was a lot more fun than the current thing, and more accurate occasionally. But this is the first time I've seen Bing block someone, and it's hilarious.
iforgot22··on New speculative attacks on Apple CPUs
Depends how automated it can be. I know some non-spectre 0-days were used broadly, either via viruses or port-scanning. Is it possible to craft some JS that'll use a spectre-like vuln to reliably grab something important like Chrome passwords or credit cards? Idk, it's hard to prove otherwise, and hackers have more time to think about this than I do.
iforgot22··on FTC takes action against GoDaddy for alleged lax data security
Crowdstrike's security reputation matters a lot more. I'll bet the customers assume the competitors have the same reliability problems, they can tolerate a little downtime, and going with nobody is even worse.
iforgot22··on New speculative attacks on Apple CPUs
If only Linux is affected then sure. Was talking about spectre in general. Maybe only Linux users are turning the spectre mitigation flags off, but there are plenty of outdated Windows systems too.

Oops, I meant arbitrary memory access.
