                            RT @Ainvest_Wire: DeepSeek's founder once ruled out funding, an IPO, and commercialization. This week DeepSeek closed its first outside round: over 50 billion yuan (~$7.4B) at a ~$54B pre-money valuation. Liang Wenfeng personally put in ¥20B, Tencent ¥10B, CATL ¥5B. A ~4-hour investor call with Liang just leaked (via Tencent Tech). The most striking things he said: 1/ On strategy "Restraint is a strategy. The one whose vision is to take more has already lost, and will be beaten by the one whose vision is to take less." "You don't run a big company with rules. You run it with vision. Vision isn't a slogan on the wall, it's how you actually operate." 2/ On the gap with the US "We're about two years behind, but we did it with one-twentieth of their compute. The goal now is to use a fraction of the compute and shrink the time gap to 3 to 6 months." "Talent isn't the bottleneck. Compute is." 3/ On Nvidia $NVDA "Nvidia's CUDA moat is being dismantled fast, because now AI can write the code to build the ecosystem." "On chips, Nvidia is digging its own grave. Four Huawei cards equal one Nvidia card. The only problem with domestic chips is capacity, not the ecosystem." 4/ On the other labs "Anthropic's first-mover lead is real, but it won't last. OpenAI and Google will keep trading places." "OpenAI thought it could monopolize the world. It will meet many challengers, including from China, because Chinese firms are willing to take less." 5/ On price and open source "Chinese AI will be systematically cheaper, the same way Chinese goods are."

Dafür entwickelte sie eine ausgefeilte interne Plattform, um großflächige Distillation gegen US-Modelle durchzuführen, was ihnen ermöglichte, schnell zwischen mehreren Zugriffsarten zu wechseln, um Entdeckungen zu vermeiden. Moonshot AI hat auch GB300-ausgestattete Server erworben und GB300s in Thailand genutzt, wahrscheinlich um ihre KI-Modelle zu trainieren. Die Vereinigten Staaten unterstützen stark die freie und faire Entwicklung von KI, einschließlich eines blühenden wettbewerbsfähigen Ökosystems, das Front-Modell-Systeme, spezialisierte Systeme, Open-Source-Frameworks und Open-Weight-Modelle umfasst. Legitime KI-Distillation zur Erstellung kleinerer, effizienterer Modelle spielt eine wichtige Rolle in diesem offenen Innovationsökosystem. Allerdings ist großflächige, verdeckte industrielle Distillation, die darauf abzielt, proprietäre US-Technologie zu stehlen und amerikanische Forschung zu untergraben, inakzeptabel. — nitter.net/mkratsios47/status/

Something that works in , and something that uses a modern native GUI widget set. Something that plays nice with packaging (and isn't just a container with a bunch of node.js, sketchy-to-secure muck shoveled into it).

It's called "Suneido". It has several strong opinions (that are quite idiosyncratic today), making it less palatable to most geeks, but it's still alive and kicking, barely (thanks to the original author, Andrew McKinlay of Axon Development Corp).

                                                                                                          Strange opinions it has, which made sense about 27 years ago:
                                                                                                          - SQL isn't good enough, better to make something even better than SQL. So it uses a tightly-integrated relational database, but it isn't SQL (just like MS Access doesn't use SQL either).
                                                                                                          - Windows is good enough; Suneido isn't really cross platform to Unix-like operating systems
                                                                                                          - was partial to C++ at first, but then made its own object-oriented language (the Suneido Programming Language).
                                                                                                          - did a rewrite, is now Go-based, but its own language (the Suneido Programming Language) is still used to write applications.

                                                                                                            codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/comm

When I originally escaped GitHub, I chose Codeberg exactly for the ethical stance and values. For me, anti-censorship is a non-negotiable ethical value. The folks at Codeberg have the right to run their org as they want. However, having now shown that they consider "censorship" good when it's about things they dislike, this made clear that their values and mine are not compatible (even if I dislike those same things, mind you).

                                                                                                            Supporters of this ban say that this "draws a line", that "is not meant to be applied blanket-wide to all projects, only those which are harmful to the community", as if having constantly to worry about the next mood swing of Codeberg voting members were an acceptable Sword of Damocles for any reputable project. What's next? Banning US users? Banning software aligned with "capital-fascist" values? Open-source banking/wallet apps? Quantum computing tools? Robotics?

                                                                                                            I'm moving off Codeberg, probably to Radicle. But I feel a bit sad, because Codeberg had the potential, in my opinion, to become the European alternative to GitHub, and they have made clear that they are not ready nor willing to become so. Which is fine: software is political, and everyone has the right to express their political stance.

                                                                                                            But we still desperately need an alternative to GitHub.

At the center, a network diagram connects several independent communities (e.g., animal shelters, dog training schools, local communities, or breed groups) that communicate with one another via a federated infrastructure.

On the right, a smartphone app with a map view is shown as an example. Surrounding it are potential features: dog profiles, walks and meetups, warnings about hazards and poisoned bait, dog parks and local spots, missing or found dogs, as well as groups and discussion forums.

Other sections explain data protection, data sovereignty, self-hosting, open-source technologies, and an optional, privacy-friendly meeting mode that uses intentionally imprecise location data. The design primarily uses shades of green and natural tones, featuring illustrations of dog owners, dogs, maps, and network symbols. The graphic serves as an initial concept sketch and does not represent a finished product or final design.

                                                                                                                  DISCLAIMER: I don't use LLMs, I despise LLMs usage, I think it's boring, erodes creativity and thinking process, and is highly unethical.

                                                                                                                  Codeberg just banned LLM and cryptocurrency projects. While I agree that LLMs suck hard, I don't really agree with that decision.

                                                                                                                  My biggest concern is that I don’t know if my projects will be safe in the future, since Codeberg is no longer simply a Git forge that prohibits non-free licenses, but it now bans code that a small (358-person) group of people disapproves.

                                                                                                                  The problem with this is that, in the future, any code could be targeted. Let me remind you that in Russia, where internet whitelists have already been introduced in some regions, website blocking began in the 2010s under the guise of ‘protecting children’ and the fight against drugs. Tomorrow, for whatever reason, C# might become persona non grata, and Codeberg might ban all code written in C#. Then, for some reason, Codeberg might ban code written by people of a certain nationality. It’s a slippery slope.

                                                                                                                                                              The flaw affects XFS filesystems with reflink enabled and has existed since Linux kernel 4.11 (2017). Enterprise distributions including RHEL, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, and Fedora may be impacted if vulnerable configurations are present. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Only the keyboard, trackpad, and the bottom casing remain, revealing the hinge mechanism and some internal wiring. It's sitting on a dark grey felt desk mat. Multiple cables are connected to the ports on both sides of the machine, including a white power cable and USB adapters, and a thick black HDMI cable. In the upper right corner, a white and silver Razer brand mouse is partially visible. The background shows more tangled cables and a bit of another electronic device. The image is taken in a practical, slightly cluttered workspace setting.
