"You spent 46 seconds lurking on Hacker News just to end up here with your four Chrome cores and Linux OS in the tech capital of San Jose—did you compile the courage to click? Your 8.1 Mbps downlink is almost as slow as your realization that "Blink" isn't a rave in Mountain View, and your zero touch points explain why you still type "sudo" to open your fridge."

:sob: I'm getting roasted by an AI

Earlier quoted context omitted.

DeepSeek does charge for the API (just 20-30x cheaper than o1), I assume OP is eating the cost. https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/

i see and where is https://groq.com/ in this. They used to be the cheapest?

Right now Deepseek's official hosting is cheaper than everyone else who can manage to run the model, including Deepinfra. I haven't seen any good hypotheses as to why other than their large batch size and speculative decoding.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The "why is DeepSeek so much cheaper than o1" question is currently a mystery, with the best guess being that compute in China is cheaper.

The model is much smaller. Compute in China should be more expensive considering all the US restrictions

No one knows the size of o1. The only hint was a paper that suggested it was 200B parameters.

Meanwhile, DeepSeek R1 is known to be 671B parameters because it is open-source.

> Roasting your Firefox 135 on Linux setup from —because nothing says "I have opinions about open-source" like a 16-core CPU crying over hckrnews.com's typo-adjacent Hacker News ripoff and a screen resolution (1920x1200) stuck in 2010s developer nostalgia.

I feel called out - well done.

Hmm, disturbingly accurate lol

> Oh, a 4K screen just to scroll Hacker News in ? Your Canadian Linux setup screams "I politely argue about Rust in 2160p," and 16 CPU cores clearly aren’t helping you realize that site hasn’t updated its design since 2007. Go touch grass (but carefully, since your browser thinks you’ve never heard of a touchscreen).

It doesn't recognize Tor Browser as such, but in this case calling its anti-fingerprinting user agent a "desperate lack of personality" happens to be more a compliment than a roast!

On the other hand, it's disappointed that the browser claims to only have two cores and uses a resolution "from 2009".
