Google
I've switched over to DuckDuckGo now. Brave felt like a search engine from 2004.
- This is the wayinstrmntl
- I like the right-click, search Google for images though.Ianbolton
- For me Google image search become useless with the current version; I never get results like I used to.evilpeacock
- Switched to DDG at least a year ago, maybe 2 or 3... hard to remember. It’s been great. Google seems so shitty in comparisonnb
- Left Google sometime in 2019 when I noticed awful promoted search results buried the good stuff. Ended up with DDG ever since.evilpeacock

recommend tv series
The series hails from “Fargo” and “Legion” creator Noah Hawley and begins when a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth.
A young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors in the wreckage, they encounter mysterious, predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined.
With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival, and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it.
In November, Hawley cleared up the confusion, revealing the series unfolds just two years prior to the events in “Alien” in 2122. He also confirmed the series will lean into the retrofuturistic aesthetic of the original “Alien”.

Canada needs some Freedom
- Shut the fuck up joe you midget stoner, as usual you have 0 idea of what you’re talking about. Come up here for a week dickhead and see it for yourself_niko

- Out of curiosity, how is Rogan wrong here?MondoMorphic
- Is dead naming illegal or not in Canada?YakuZoku

Artificial Intelligence
So to recap the week... OpenAi and a a bunch of other western Ai companies have been selling their AI secret sauce for years to investors as a proprietary mystery formula that only they could understand... They also claimed they needed infinite compute to achieve the next horizon of either AGI/ASI driving up the valuations of their companies as well as Nvidia.
Now a group of young Chinese dudes who used to mine crypto just wrote a really good algorithm that performs equal to or better than OpenAi’s $200 a month offerings made it open source and claim it was trained for WAAAY less is threatening to burn down the whole Ai Silicon Valley venture capital grift?
Interesting week.
- Chan GPT_niko
- Yes. Exactly this.grafician
- Highly doubt this. This story, like the open source release, is more likely intended to dry up private investment in AI in America.monNom
- It saps revenue from the companies selling access to private models, drys up interest from investors. Facebook was following the same strategy with Llama releasmonNom
- LOL the entire market is DOWN because of DeepSeek
Even tho' it was known for weeks
Odd Mondaygrafician - Chinese dudes stole all of the data from US and western countries, go China!utopian
- Probably a buying opportunity for NVDA. Not so much for anyone trying to sell chat bots.monNom
- I mean.. a neural network is a fundamentally different technology to a simple algorithm but I appreciate the sentiment.kalkal
- @grafician known and known are two different things in the world of AI research, largely in part to too many projects optimising for the benchmarkskalkal
- only when the benchmarks are released can we find out whether it's all the real deal or not.kalkal
- *benchmarks based on actual user testing and scrutiny, not the creators benchmarks.kalkal
- they aren't just "Chinese dudes who used to mine crypto"sted
- If it’s open-source, benchmarking it should be straightforward. My take is if it is competitive with state of the art, unlikely it was not state supported.monNom
- https://arxiv.org/ab…
look at the names on the paper, looks more like an entire class than just a bunch of kids.sted - Or if it truly is 1/10th the resources to run, unlikely to be state of the art. Rare that some crypto-bros come in and produce an order of magnitude step changemonNom
- their first product from a year ago:
https://deepseekcode…sted - And because their huggingface pretty much everybody knew that they are working on this.sted
- "young Chinese dudes" is funnier than Quant Hedge fund manager hiring dozens of top Chinese PhD's and buying 10,000 H800 chips to topple the US Ai industry...jonny_quest_lives
- i tend to sarcastically shitpost through tumultuous times... i didn't mean to offend any of the PhD's who co wrote their open source documentation:jonny_quest_lives
