Re:DeepSeek Harness on Thursday August 13, 2026 @03:30PM (#49290817)
We can /model, but when can we /harness?
Since the announcement of DeepSeek price hike, I have been using MiniMax M3 and I am really surprised by the quality this model spits out. Subjectively speaking, the bullshit MM3M produces is waaay less than DS0731. Could it be a result of less hallucinations than DS0731? https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/omniscience#aa-omn...

Maybe hallucination is good for prototyping and creative work, but maintaining and debugging code might be better done by a boring model?

I would also like to read the stripped down markdown copy and not the original. All the time.
Re:The Computer That Helped Win World War II on Monday July 27, 2026 @12:01PM (#49071502)
We have power centers around the globe. Power centers fill a certain void in societies, because nature hates the void. Power centers try grow by influencing, coercing, manipulating, buying, bribing other power centers. Again, a law of nature: entities try to expand. Some fail at it, some don't fail - at first. Just like all other entities in nature. The peasant in the street can profit from it or not. He can be killed by it or not.

Takeway: try to recognize a potentially not profitable grinding operation by power centers. Try not to become a bag hodler :) Ultimately humans can say NO, no matter the power of the manipulation and coercion by power centers.

Good thing DS just made their discount permanent. https://x.com/deepseek_ai/status/2057854261699195173
Soon, a dented toaster will be enough to run decent models.

All apps you are using are made with AI.

Holy moly, I just applied the principles to DND campaign creation and I am in awe.
Re:How AI destroys institutions on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @09:36AM (#46706282)
"Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press" All of those are rotten and corrupted to the core. But I don't think they will be destroyed by AI. People are voting with their feet.
To charge the average Tesla in 5 minutes you need about 1MW and cables as thick as a forearm.
Re:If you are useful, it doesn't mean you are valued on Monday June 02, 2025 @12:25PM (#44160444)
My experience is: If you are good at something, you will do it for ever. Be good - or get good - at things that you value.

So of those 2k calories the average human body needs to sustain itself, only a fraction of it, or none at all, is needed to perform many hours of physical labor. This means physical labor done by humans is cheap or free.

Re:Why Are Lithium Prices Collapsing? on Sunday April 30, 2023 @03:20PM (#35765750)
Yes, resources are infinite. That is why the carrying capacity of the earth is also infinite. Because the ingenuity of humans is infinite.

Re:How many AMD RX 7900 XTX's are defective? on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @07:43PM (#34347431)
OT but got me thinking:

I member my old Voodoo graphics card had like 10 to 15 Watts. Then was surprised how much power the 6800Ultra consumed: whooping 70Watts. Those numbers are peanuts today. 350W for the AMD and 450W for the nVidia card.

AMD is predicting 0.7kW in 2025. I imagine in 2030 people will be having some some fancy CPU and RAM, but that GPU will be sitting on top of a 2kg block of copper to keep up with the heat generation. 1.2kW Cards here we go!

Next up: that power cable coming out of that wall is going straight into the GPU.

> Nuclear energy is one of the most dangerous forms of energy as one mistake in handling nuclear power can cause loss of many lives and damage for centuries

I consider Nuclear Energy an insurance policy for the local civilization. As long as a nation runs this things, the people running the gov can not totally detach from the populace and can not go totally insane.

Well, at least I thought so until Zelynsky was elected.

Re:Colors in movies and TV: What happened to them? on Thursday January 13, 2022 @08:34AM (#29920548)
Funny thing. For about 5 years now I manually adjust hue, saturation and other stuff to my liking for each product, because the colors felt bad very often. Now I am just waiting for an AI colorizer to watch "Schindlers List" how it was supposed to be.
