During the period fish and sharks would eat sea lilies, which are hard to digest meaning they would then "regurgitate all the chalk bits", he explained.

Text below, for those trying to avoid Twitter:

Most people probably don't realize how bad news China's Deepseek is for OpenAI.

They've come up with a model that matches and even exceeds OpenAI's latest model o1 on various benchmarks, and they're charging just 3% of the price.

It's essentially as if someone had released a mobile on par with the iPhone but was selling it for $30 instead of $1000. It's this dramatic.

What's more, they're releasing it open-source so you even have the option - which OpenAI doesn't offer - of not using their API at all and running the model for "free" yourself.

If you're an OpenAI customer today you're obviously going to start asking yourself some questions, like "wait, why exactly should I be paying 30X more?". This is pretty transformational stuff, it fundamentally challenges the economics of the market.

It also potentially enables plenty of AI applications that were just completely unaffordable before. Say for instance that you want to build a service that helps people summarize books (random example). In AI parlance the average book is roughly 120,000 tokens (since a "token" is about 3/4 of a word and the average book is roughly 90,000 words). At OpenAI's prices, processing a single book would cost almost $2 since they change $15 per 1 million token. Deepseek's API however would cost only $0.07, which means your service can process about 30 books for $2 vs just 1 book with OpenAI: suddenly your book summarizing service is economically viable.

Or say you want to build a service that analyzes codebases for security vulnerabilities. A typical enterprise codebase might be 1 million lines of code, or roughly 4 million tokens. That would cost $60 with OpenAI versus just $2.20 with DeepSeek. At OpenAI's prices, doing daily security scans would cost $21,900 per year per codebase; with DeepSeek it's $803.

So basically it looks like the game has changed. All thanks to a Chinese company that just demonstrated how U.S. tech restrictions can backfire spectacularly - by forcing them to build more efficient solutions that they're now sharing with the world at 3% of OpenAI's prices. As the saying goes, sometimes pressure creates diamonds.

our eastern neighbours

... you mean Ukraine, no?

"The ice taps back"

Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.

You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:

• Fascists promise to do fascist things
• Americans vote for fascists
• Elected fascists do fascist things
• Fascists go unpunished because of the Democrats
• Elected fascists do fascist things
• How could Democrats do this???

1.8% of all deaths in the US today are due to COVID-19. And we're not even at a seasonal peak.

I imagine they passed each other somewhere neither of them should have been at that time.

When I take off, well, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the drone who takes off towards you

When I blow up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the drone who blows along with you

If I get jammed, well, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the drone who gets jammed next to you

And if I reach ya, yeah, I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the drone who's reaching down to you

[Chorus]

But I would fly six hundred miles

And I would fly four hundred more

Just to be the drone who flew a thousand

Miles to fall down on your door

I'm not the OC, but the Japanese have two good words for related things that are not quite as rare as you'd expect: Hikikomori and Jōhatsu.

Why would you be happy about their money going to even less deserving people?...

"The innovative system, which is the size of a shipping container, is able to retrofit air-air missiles for ground-based air defence."

Details: The UK government clarified that the Gravehawk system can utilise missiles already in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Quote: "Two prototypes of the air defence capability system were tested in Ukraine in September [2024], and a further 15 will follow this year."
