Nah, they wouldn't have released deepseek open source if they were the case

They'd be running in the red then cause they charge way less than Claude. Sorry but it just doesn't make logical sense. They have open source, papers, and self hosting too

Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"

What? I know what you're taking about but it's literally only 1 dude(Matthias vs Butterick) who has chilled down for the most part Everyone else is fine. Do you have the source for others being toxic?

I think this is one of the few cases where there isn't a grift. It's open source, open research, there's not much to hide? Honestly official statements are pretty tame, it's the people who spin them for media headline clicks that are warping reality

Where does it say it will train on private? This seems like a security nightmare if it trains on hardcoded keys

Interesting, I thought performance was lower than zen 1. I wonder if they'll ever catch up

I used to have your viewpoint, but after reading Lee Kuan Yew, and after several hours of cross referencing various interviews with the pro-rioters/hk democracy, and pro-engagement/neutral hongkongers, I conclude that most of the pro-rioters like Joshua Wong/Jimmy Lai at large fail to articulate anything of value other than "I want to turn the system upside-down" , while pro-engagement/neutral people know they want upward social mobility and more government involvement in fixing the housing and employment crisis.

Sidenote: The riots went too out of control and one of em threw a brick which hit an old street cleaners head.

jambutters — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 08:24:14 +0000

DJI is a global drone company and they're popular in Japan as well for agricultural drones . I recall the head of the American branch Colin Guuin, wanted more share and control of the company and they booted him out and he started his own drone company which is not doing so well

I mean, we went after Assange and Snowden who are in a gray area. Jimmy Lai actually went to top US officials and advocated military assistance to coup the government. No nation would ever go easy on that and it's scary to see all these comments on HN are mindlessly chanting without actually more research

Don't Chinese FULLY own nexperia though? And I don't think bots would have their name highlighted in green and write on a fringe website compared to reddit or youtube

Not unique to China. Japan also withheld critical semiconductor materials from Korea due to Korea not backing down on historical disputes in 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/japan-south-korea-dispute-im...

I don't think unity was as polished when braid came out in ~2008 that can also easily rewind time on low end Xbox hardware. The witness maybe in unreal? But there are some wild things there I've never seen an unreal game do that the witness does do

They actually reuse Linux driver stack for hardware compatibility

jambutters — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 05:15:04 +0000

I recall brunp from CATL/Robin Zeng in China said this: > recovery rate of over 90% for lithium and 99% for nickel, cobalt and manganese.

So its nice the US has a competitor here

Thousands is quite the exaggeration when there are only 379 on ffmpeg github. If you look through them, its actually 5-10% if not less

Does this happen on linux? Polybar with i3 has an option to show seconds by clicking the date and time
