Just look at the U.S. labs: ...The route of least resistance has simply been to pay Nvidia. DeepSeek, however, just demonstrated that another route is available: heavy optimization can produce remarkable results on weaker hardware and with lower memory bandwidth; simply paying #Nvidia more isn’t the only way to make better models.

DeepSeek FAQ

DeepSeek has completely upended people’s expectations for AI and competition with China. What is it, and why does it matter?

Попался в ленте пост про икру заморскую, в связи с этим вспомнил:

Когда во второй половине 80-х Фрэнк Заппа был в Москве на студии Стаса Намина, его привели в полный восторг бутерброды с баклажанной икрой. Он говорил: "Ни в одной стране мира не видел, чтобы свободно продавались бутерброды с говном!"

Just recently finished this: Mother of Invention by Katrine Marcal, and it’s just BRILLIANT. It could so easily be a decent book that’s mostly a list of examples of (hidden and not-so-hidden) case studies of gender bias in engineering and design, but it’s so so much more than that. And the stuff towards the end is fabulously thoughtful. This is just one example: on why we should probably stop saying “mother nature”. Highly recommended. #books #MotherOfInvention #Gender #Design

Got to a row with a stitch that calls for a cable needle but alllll my small cable neeeeedlessss are in my backpack in the caaaarrrrr.... that's soooo farrrr awaaaay....

So, looking to my mug collection stuffed with various needles & hooks next to my desk, I improvised by using the hook part of this antique I acquired years ago either from my Omama's stash or from an eBay snag.
