Why don't they adapt the deepseek v4.1flash model instead?

You have the dates all mangled
interdrift··on Venice’s failed war against Constantinople led to the first bond market
the story of the constantinople riots is really interesting. A foolish treaty established this unequal relationship between constantinople and venice that would later indirectly lead to the destruction of the empire through the fourth crusade and the weakening of the trade rights of its own citizens. The emperor who made that treaty was equally desperate and stupid.

What you get when money meets corporate meets engineers who don't say no.
interdrift··on Boeing faces new US investigation into 'missed' 787 inspections
Always remember that one guy testifying that he saw employees jumping with their feet on airplane parts to insert them in somewhere. LOL.
interdrift··on Bolwoningen: Living in spherical homes
there is absolutely nothing wrong with the commie blocks we have in Bulgaria other than the need to fix the facade. They are extremely cheap to mass manufacture, build and also they easily can last 100 years with enough living space for everyone. This already works, it's just not done due to regulations in many countries.
interdrift··on Ask HN: Tell me about how you bombed a technical interview
I had an interview with a startup, completely owned the questions on the technical interview. When time came for the 1 - 1 interview with the CTO I had luck to ask them about their growth rate and investors. No regrets.

don't drink and bike, it's dangerous.

bike thefts happen in the Netherland (once I saw a 50+ year old guy walking around inspecting bikes in a student neighbourhood + multiple bike thefts in that area). Also in Bulgaria where I am from :) but I can't say where it happens more or what the chances are.
interdrift··on Testing GPT 4's code-writing capabilities with some real world problems
Same here, but it was fun tho but I certainly feel like I'm no longer on top of the food chain
interdrift··on Unpredictable abilities emerging from large AI models
In the past few days I've been shellshocked by GPT-4. I'm still and believe I will be for the near future.

interdrift··on New York City hiring top rat killer
That's OK, I'm quite frugal, don't mind travelling with public transport. Even if you save 50% of that it's already enough for me.

interdrift··on Ask HN: Why do HN feel so negatively about Musk?
there's something about guaranteed wealth that takes away those feelings of accountability. You can be 100% morally strong, yet 20 years of this BS and your humbleness goes down the drain. Totally human, yet totally wrong to be on top of the food chain for too long.
interdrift··on Ask HN: Why do HN feel so negatively about Musk?
He just lost his humbleness (if he even ever had it).

interdrift··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India (2020)
What a pain man. Reminds me of setting up the visa for my spouse in Bulgaria (she's from Canada). The amount of mental pain I've experienced with administration should be illegal. This seems much worse and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

I'm looking for an opportunity in computer vision, preferably in recognition of documents or diagrams. I have experience with shape recognition, classification and text extraction and want to build a great product with those technologies. I'm based in EU but will be in North America for the foreseeable future (no work permit tho). I appreciate in person work but remote is doable after some period. Please contact me only if you are a decision maker, I'm not open to recruiters.

interdrift··on Ask HN: How to find a small town to relocate for remote work?
Yeah seems like it's all over the place, but certainly doesn't seem like the city is doing its job when there are multiple break-ins in short period of time of 1 property.
interdrift··on Ask HN: How to find a small town to relocate for remote work?
Honestly looking into his issues, seems like he's getting dealt some bad cards after investing into a city that is letting him down.
interdrift··on NFT the DP
Weird.
interdrift··on Identify a remarkable trait in anyone, then either copy or avoid it
I've done this my entire life and it's extremely useful. Identifying useful strategies is extremely important and in no way makes you artificial.
interdrift··on Ask HN: Remote workers in a non-tech city, what's your experience?
I live in Burgas, Bulgaria and working from the local business incubator has been nice. Rent is 200-250 EUR/ pm & young people generally speak English. Additionally, it is quite a calm place with little to no crime. There are no cons to me at least because during this pandemic I cannot meet other people anyway even if I was in The Netherlands where I lived. Burgas is a cheap destination with a lot of great natural and community sights and experiences to be seen. Highly recommend it.
