> and contains significant embedded carbon emissions

Hi - thanks for the insightful comment - could you please expand on the above?

Genuinely curious :)

Publishing by necessity I wonder? American labs on the cutting edge pioneering the way forward, so Deepseek open sourcing what they’ve got is to help even the playing field.

Hopefully the experts here can offer insight. The above is just my hunch and I’m not a specialist in this field.

Woah!

You got a picture?

Thank you for taking the time to reply with a really insightful comment.

I wonder if open source / open weight models will reach the point where we can run them locally on our mobile devices (for free), even if they're slightly inferior to the proprietary pay-as-you-use online models.

I know very little about this stuff. My inner optimist kinda hopes that the tech will continue to advance and become increasingly commoditised, to the point that open source locally run models are as good as the advanced proprietary models of a year ago. So that even if the open source models lag the proprietary models, they're still pretty great. Perhaps we're already there but I wouldn't know.

Anyhow thank you for the insights :-)

I’m curious (and please forgive my ignorance if it’s obvious), are open weight models practically feasible?

I mean from a financial and sustainability standpoint, assuming they’re equally powerful as their proprietary counterparts.

I guess I’m trying to understand the economics of it.

Came here to say this.

And I suspect that one day we might even think of LLMs as "low tech AI", assuming we move on to more advanced forms of AI (here's hoping).

It's been years since I heard the term "Throwback Thursday", funny that reading it here felt like a throwback in its own right ^_^

I agree with you.

I'm sure the author means well, but it comes off as someone who lacks real-world experience sharing what they think is an ideal team structure when building apps.

That's just my opinion, but yeah, the article doesn't resonate with my experience at all, and I've been at this a while.

There is a link in the other comments that is intended to explain the context, but as someone who isn't familiar with the structure of threads / conversations in the Wikipedia editing community, I am honestly struggling to follow it.

Can someone here please help me understand what the issue is?

(I keep seeing stuff in that linked article about canvassing and "the left marching through institutions" but again I'm not following the overall argument / issue. Please forgive my ignorance if I'm missing something obvious.)

> But I know a base jumper .. and he only does the jumps if he feels the fear and his kick is to overcome it and feel the adrenalin rush.

This sentence has beautifully crystallised the meaning of what it means to be an adrenalin junkie ^_^

^_^ hah what a great word, first time seeing it.

Another one I came across recently - “sloptimization”

How long before someone ports DOOM into a favicon? ^_^

(For the technical gurus here, would that even be possible?)

Could you please expand on this?

Aren’t prices sky rocketing precisely because of excess demand? And they’d collapse in turn if demand disappeared.

My understanding of economics is entry level so please forgive my ignorance. I’m just curious what you mean.

That TRON theme linked in the article is cool, thanks for sharing.

At risk of being downvoted into oblivion by the emacs gang, I wonder if someone’s got a similar theme for vim?

I suspect it has more to do with Germany’s industrial scale in the automotive space (as opposed to incentives or culture).

Great article (and phrase).

Thank you.

I’ve just gone ahead and placed a little sticky note at the bottom of my monitor that says “dopamine fracking?”
