Yesterday when I started evaluating Deepseek-R1 V3 it was insanely better at code generation using elaborate prompts, I asked it to write me some boilerplate code in python using the ebaysdk library to pull a list of all products sold by user with $name and it spit it out, just a few tweaks and it was ready to go.

I tried the same thing on the 7B and 32B model today, neither are as effective as codellama.

'AI' is frequently the least interesting part of any announcement.

This is the principle behind the lagrange point chosen for the James Webb Space Telescope. It's occluded from the brightness of the sun by the earth.

> put a frikkin massive telescope, or many massive telescopes into orbit

See: Hubble, JWST, and more to come

edit: JWST is in a different point from LEO but still counts

Stella was waiting for you to submit your dataset. Did you? She closed the ticket many months later.

What a great feature! I also had no idea what it meant so for UI/UX reasons I'd add some alt-text explaining that.

What happens when it crawls some LLM generated text on a website, using that as a citation?

I did. It took a couple years though. I think my biggest problem was getting out during covid and not the felony.

I've been getting into metalworking. It's incredibly fulfilling just learning the processes necessary to fuse and separate and shape steel.

Well, it is helpful for learning new frameworks and stuff when you already have a grasp of general programming.

Listen, neither of the two platforms are better or worse for general purpose use. I've had both and felt plenty comfortable with both and experienced issues on both like you will with any computer.

Be platform agnostic.

I've used debian for almost twenty years and arch for over half that, despite being comfortable with Arch, I would not sleep well at night if anything mission critical depended on it. You install a rig with Debian on it and touch nothing, it will last longer than you.
