Man, the Cardassians are all such good characters in ds9... And Odo and Quark, and O'Brien...

Who's doing the drum solo? Who's the next Gadd?

I just asked: "The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and the military crackdown on the night of June 3–4, 1989, are among the most significant events of that year. In brief:"

Then it continues to provide the chain of events, the estimated number of killed protesters and so on.

I'll give you something to try: ask a western model about the Palestinian genocide. Or ask about the legendary Norm MacDonald 9/11 joke, which has millions of views on YouTube and how it compares to his other humor.

It's interesting how he was part of everybody's childhood. I watched TNG for the first time when I was over 40. And that series became something really special in our family and we all love Stewart, Frakes, Spiner and the gang.

Some of the best television ever made if you ask me.

Would this evil Riker have a beard then?

Although Frakes is close to a god in my books as an actor and a director. But never a good captain in TNG, I agree. He's a loved director though, and part of many great Star Trek episodes, and a few good ones for The Orville.

This podcast is so good. I could listen to Spiner and Frakes talk about things for hours...

It must've spread so fast. I watched his interview in the Conan podcast only three years ago and he was smart and sharp and such a wonderful listen. It was a total surprise for me that he had Alzheimer's...

Rest in peace captain :(

And then look into all the good movies in Cannes every year. Or subgenres even in us such as horror. Very far away from slop...

Yes but the API prices are very low. So much that it is hard to spend over 20 dollars per month as an individual no matter how much you use it.

A few days ago we got the news that DeepSeek makes 38 dollars profit per card with their off peak pricing (in the inference server release discussion).

If that is true, either the American labs are not optimizing correctly or they make a ton of money with inference.

Yes. Did not mean any disrespect. I have a bunch of friends from Russia living now abroad who has been telling stories from those years.

Because the prime minister has been running a government that is disliked from all directions. Because the economy has been going down and hard. Because the unemployment rates are the highest in EU.

And now he can shake hands with Google executives in a public photo.

People still live in the old world that thinks that doing business with the American corporations is somehow beneficial, especially with data centers. But the country should focus on building their own data centers, providing GPUs for smaller companies and providing cheap DeepSeek for Europeans instead of giving access to Google.

Here some pics from those empty skyscrapers that are completely missing all the walls and the scaffolding's been gathering rust for years. And all the court cases for the people who bought the "luxury apartments" that never realized.

I'm always surprised that the topography of terror exhibition in Berlin misses this part of the German history. Nazi's and communists are presented, but the robber barons who bought all the real estate don't get a presentation.

Yes. Should also cover what happened in East Germany when the wall went down. And people are now somehow surprised when everybody's kind of pissed outside of the few big cities.

Like... the town where the Google datacenter goes gets like some paved bike road from Google who "takes care of the community". Price tag around the profits of less than an hour of the GPU time in that datacenter.

A bottle of vodka for your shares, comrade. Etc...

Oh the logging projects also get a LOT of attention. It's just that the current government is center-right / far right, and they just let the logging to continue no matter the sanctions from the EU.

There are a lot of people who are against this, and protest against this. Looking at the polls, seems that it will change in the next elections, like a lot.

Finland has a lot of people who care about forest and Finland needs to pay fines for EU if they don't have enough forest to suck CO2 from the air.

Google cut corners here, and didn't ask for the needed permissions. And the prime minister doesn't want to show his conversation with Google regarding this.

People are really pissed.

Edit: and the electricity prices are going up due to these data centers. And the profits from them don't stay in Finland, but go to American corporations. There should be Finnish data centers owned by Finns instead of having Google to take the cheap electricity and taking profits out.

Yes. Yle is awesome.

Deepseek is what, maybe 10-15 dollars a month for quite a lot of usage if you need an llm and do not want to pay for Anthropic...

I also used to plan with more expensive models like you did, but now I just do planning with DeepSeek too and don't see much difference. I use the omp plan mode and iterate on the text until I'm happy with it. Then clear context, give the plan to DeepSeek again for implementation.

If it's mission-critical code, do a security review with GLM 5.3.

Otherwise go manually through the code and ask for changes if needed.

Works really well for me.

I'm using DeepSeek a lot, and I'm curious how you get a task to go to ten dollars with it? Or are you mixing Opus and Sol tokens to the same task? I have very hard time to go over 5 dollars with DeepSeek and that is already a weeklong project where I share the same context.

Of course I do certain things like use omp and do a compact picture snapshot after 256k tokens automatically. My tasks rarely go over a dollar...

I've ported a few games, wrote a cosmic desktop app, iterated in my own agent software, use the model in our home speaker system, use the model in my phone assistant. My monthly bill to coralbricks is about 14 dollars.

Or just us Europeans who are so sick of American corporations milking every penny with their LLM models and preventing us from using the full model capabilities.

Now we have: a ton of competition in different inference providers, very low costs, and speeds reaching 1k tok/s in certain providers.

We can just get a box of compute even in Germany, and run the exact same model here without anybody stopping us.

It's quite different here in EU. I just gave a presentation in an AI conference in Paris about moving from Anthropic to open-weight models, how it looks like and what kind of savings you'll be looking at. The room was packed, and after discussing with a bunch of VPs, staff engineers, and CTOs in the conference, every single one of them are either looking at or using DeepSeek now.

It's quite hard to have the valuation of Anthropic if they are limited to US.

They do not yet. They are testing it but they go with GLM right now.

Scaleway, Mistral, Lyceum, Verda, Silo AI, Siili, Upcloud, CSC, Gcore, Nebius...

I mean... I ported some of my childhood Finnish shareware games for Linux and Rust with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. It took about six hours of spelunking and finally I was pretty happy with the results! I did it twice. Tokens for both of the games were around 3 euros.

Because it doesn't make difference for my use. High is good enough! If you do an assistant for yourself, low is more than enough.

It reduces the speed and tends to overthink sometimes which is really annoying. For programming, 4.1/high is the bread and butter in my daily work.

There's also European providers for these models. More than one!
