> This is one reason why Deepseek & GLM are priced so cheaply, they are competing with impossibly low token prices in China. They have to keep prices low, in order for people to use them.

This one does not make sense to me at all.

Deepseek and GLM are openweights, even US inference provider are selling them at much cheaper price. The price is cheap because the model is more efficient.

xgstation — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 03:40:44 +0000

I imagine FPGA could just be part of general CPU that provides user space APIs to program them to accelerate certain work flow, in other words, this sounds like exactly JIT to me. People may program FPGA as they need to, e.g. AV1 encoder/decoder, accelerate some NN layers, or even a JS runtime, am I thinking something too wild for hardware capability or is it just the ecosystem isn't there yet to allow such flexible use cases?

New comment by xgstation in "MCP Is Mostly Bullshit"

xgstation — Sun, 04 May 2025 02:50:01 +0000

sure there are hype around MCP, but how does that bridges to "MCP Is Mostly Bullshit"?

the title is more or less click bait, even author admits it

> I am not even saying MCP is bad tech or useless. It’s just one way among others to provide context to AI assistants/agents. If you have ever built an LLM-based application, you have more or less done something similar.

but beyond just similar, it's very good to see there is a standard protocol that everyone adopts it, and the MCP will make the existing tools & services immediate ready with better models being released in the future much easier

It is really fun and sarcastic to watch all this happening. U.S. Gov. tried to block China from accessing GPU resources very hardly to stop their AI development, but actually helped China to take a leap on developing efficient and more cost-effective LLM model with constraint GPU access.

I can imagine how depress Lee felt when being beaten by AI the first time, but looking at the bright side, we see Shin Jin-seo as the rising star in the AI-era of Go by leveraing AI to help him training.

xgstation — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 08:31:32 +0000

from Company perspective, I think the answer is yes

but from individual perspective I don't think that is the case. Since AlphaGo first time was released and beat world-class players, have all these players gone? not really, but it even promotes more people study Go with AI instead.

As a software engineer myself, am I enjoy using AI for coding? yes, for many trivial and repetitive works, but do I want it to take my coding works fully away such that I can just type natural languages? My answer is no. I still need the dopamine hit from coding myself, either for work or my for hobby time, even I am rebuilding some wheels other folks have already built, and I believe many of ours are the same.

if U.S. could have opened its market to Chinese EVs (yes yes I know Chinese Gov subsidizes those vendors a lot, but U.S. can still do punitive tariffs, instead of just ban[1], and of course, making excuses out of national security, meanwhile Tesla is doing okay in China) these U.S. vendors have no competitions is the reason why they are far behind.

> I did not "claim" or "state" from myself directly, I said "recognized as malware" (as per automated analysis from sites), let's learn properly understand the things we read, before "hater expert readers" jump into conclusions. Because the questions I was asking is not "is this malware or not", the questions I did ask across multiple occasions and we should all ask, and some intelligence individuals did just that

Hey, hackernews readers aren't stupid, we all know what communication effect (click-bait) it brings when you put "Chinese" and "Malware" together in title.

I think sometimes the problem is coming from accidental typos instead of not trusting, say if one accidentally typed `pip install requests` into `pip install requestss` and if `requestss` is malacious then by the time one noticed the typo the setup.py could have already run to do the harm

New comment by xgstation in "PyPI Blog: Project Quarantine"

xgstation — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 08:47:54 +0000

the fact that `pip install` just runs whatever is in `setup.py` is still mind baffling, even if the author weren't mallicious the `setup.py` can still do harm (say delete a file by mistake), there really needs to be an official way of sandbox its running.

New comment by xgstation in "Why Rust and Its Memory Safety Lulls Developers into a False Sense of Security"

xgstation — Wed, 27 Nov 2024 06:29:26 +0000

the security is really not just memory safety from its lifetime & borrow checker.

it is that from language perspective, without writing unsafe, you won't have hit undefined behaviors, while provides same level performance of C++

even with unsafe code (usually needed because of performance need), there are very clear guidelines, and tooling (miri) to help check against undefined behaviors

the pain part of C++ is that i would never be confident enough to say i didn't write some undefined behaviors by mistake/accident, and requires extra tools like UBSAN in runtime to find them (C++'s miri)

however most of the time i don't need to run miri when writing rust, as they are slow for large enough project, unless i write unsafe, where it can be well scoped to be run with miri

another aspects rust put a lot efforts on is the soundness, that comes with the type system, that you know how to and when the code needs to handle errors when using someone else's code, so you never hit problems like NullException or silent racy conditions because thread safety comes with Send & Sync trait.

all these benefits just allow people to focus on the real problem, instead of wasting time on figuring out things like "oh this is undefined behavior", "oh it can return null in this case", "oh this function cannot be used in multithreading context", when the real problem to solve is something like "I need to send this trasaction to some background worker to be processed"

If I have to guess that is likely the case, but if that is the case then reasoning and formal process should me made clear and transparent, while the weird part is that Huawei is also under sanctions and has a lot people contributed to Linux, but they are not removed. So what is our standard process here?
