And that's why you run models locally. Or if you want a remote chat model, use something stateless like AWS Bedrock custom model import to avoid having stored chats on the server.
You could also use models that run on nvidia’s trusted execution environment.

This is very much a Java phenomenon. These things do have value .. when correctly applied. But sometimes it's like seeing someone make a gadget with fifty different types of bolts rather than one or two simply because they want to use all the bits of their socket set.
No it’s from a book called design patterns. It forever influenced a huge number of American programmers to think about programming in a very specific way following very specific patterns. I’m working for a company that’s doing things in typescript using IOC and dependency injection everywhere. It pervades the minds of Americans such that they walk and talk like a parrot parroting that book. What Americans don’t reali…
I think you will find most Java programmers were using these patterns before they came across the book. The language naturally leads you in that direction. The book just put a name on them.
This is probably an incredibly stupid, off-topic question, but why are their database schemas and logs in English? Like, when a DeepSeek dev uses these systems as intended, would they also be seeing the columns, keys, etc. in English? Is there usually a translation step involved? Or do devs around the world just have to bite the bullet and learn enough English to be able to use the majority of tools? I'm realizing no…
There basically isn't non English software engineering. English is the universal language in programming and software engineering, much like Latin was the universal scholarly language in the past. Sometimes even to the extent that the language starts leaking from the code and technical documents, reports, etc. are being written in English, often just because the people working close to the software are more familiar…
Even when you install e.g. Debian today and select Not-English as the system language, you might be surprised to see that GCC actually has i18n'd error messages, at least for some languages. Same for coreutils. I doubt anyone uses that intentionally, and they're probably not very up to date, but it does exist... kinda.

> this year most PCB fabrication houses have gained support for putting Chinese characters onto a circuit board I've yet to see one of these in the wild, but it sounds cool to me and I would like to see it. There's something of a problem the CJK languages have in not being able to do abbreviations or acronyms, so in Japanese you will occasionally see a couple of Latin letters standing out because that's much shorter…
> in Japanese you will occasionally see a couple of Latin letters standing out I mostly encounter this watching anime, and I feel it stands out more than it should . It's not just the sudden shift to an entirely different family of glyphs - the overall typography feels off. There's room for improvement here.
It’s that ugly vertically-stretched serif typeface - the one used on those little gold-coloured “QA” stickers that used to be everywhere on/in consumer goods.
Does DeepSeek have a bug bounty program I'm not aware of with a clearly defined scope? It appears that Wiz took it upon themselves to probe and access DeepSeek's systems without permission and then write about it. If you do this and the company you're conducting your "research" on hasn't given you permission in some form, you can get yourself in a lot of hot water under the CFAA in the USA and other laws around the w…
Likewise, there may be Chinese laws were violated. However, outside of China they are a moot point.

That's how it goes, at least around Europe. People know English as a technical jargon (similar to legal French and Latin in English) and can juggle enough to get around documentation, but I've been in companies where I was the only fluent English speaker (and we're talking startup stuff). That gave ma a bunch of cool opportunities though, being pulled in every other meeting as the designated translator.

I mean we're kind of an outsourcing hub so it makes sense. Even some of our companies outsource further to the east so you really can't avoid it.

> surveys indicated that an overwhelming majority of residents of Gaza supported Hamas Come on, nearly half of the inhabitants of Gaza are/were under 18. "Surveys" cannot make collective punishment legal, or annexation and ethnic cleansing for that matter. I'd say outright cutting off a whole population from food and going on TV to rant about how even the babies are terrorists isn't self-defense or security. If anyth…
I mentioned the surveys to indicate the complicity of the civilian population in Hamas’s actions. Often people claim the residents of Gaza didn’t vote for Hamas since the last election was in 2006. But the surveys reveal that most of them do support them and their religious terrorism. > "Surveys" cannot make collective punishment legal, or annexation and ethnic cleansing for that matter. What do you mean by annexatio…

There are better models of democracy around.
Israel have the right to defend their country of course, but Palestinians have the right to fight occupation under international law. They are massively repressed around the world - try support Palestinian rights in the US right now.
Anyone can be labelled a terrorist. I would label the IDF a terrorist organisation due to their methods, their justifications for the many human rights abuses and killings ring very hollow. They also encourage and support their own fundamentalists - aka settlers - to commit crimes.
Lastly I think anyone who commits war crimes should be brought to the ICC; Israel has shown it is incapable of broadly prosecuting theses crimes and obviously the PA cant either. It is Israels fault if they kill civilians and I don't buy any of their justification as they've been shown again and again to be untrustworthy. I believe they will be found guilt of genocide in the end, and the countries who supplied them with the weapons and tech will be guilty of enabling a genocide - there's plenty of evidence that the state department in the US has brushed knowledge of human right abuses and war crimes under the carpet for political and ideological reasons.

Your impassionate argument in favor of an ethnic cleansing with bombs, starvation and lack of sanitation lies in stark contrast to this outrage about the Uyghurs' culture being erased with development and draconian imprisonment for suspected extremism, while at the same time, the West Bank was reduced to a patchwork of ghettos with draconian checkpoints where life is cheap if you are suspected to be an extremist. On…
I think you're raising an important point that I acknowledge, and I need to process that more. But my immediate thought is to note that the two situations are very different to me. Uyghurs are indigenous to Xinjiang (more than anyone else), and Islamic Arabs in Gaza or the West Bank are not indigenous to the region around Israel (Jewish people are, while Gaza's residents are outsiders since Islamic Arabs aren't indig…
Every genocide, every occupation and every conflict has its own historical conflict. You need to examine you own massive biases here, adjust your view to international law and human rights and you'd see the massive injustice here that is fueling the conflict and will continue to until its addressed.
Israel is not securing its own safe future here, there is no military solution here. Hamas will rebuild itself if it hasn't already because the crime they have committed and the people they have murdered will only boost the recruitment of Hamas and other paramilitary groups. This has always been the way the world over. Jewish history is itself has examples of this.
And I've never see a good faith attempt from Israel wrt this conflict that hasn't been completely derailed by the Israeli extremists and hardliners.

You're correct, this is not so black and white as you originally established. Glad you came around! And yes, it's posturing if you wax on from such a pedestal without even reading the first paragraph of the article, which addresses your legitimate concerns.
