From my experiments with the Deepseek Qwen-32b distill model, the Deepseek model did not follow the edit instructions - the format was wrong. I know the distill models are not at all the same as the full model, but that could provide a clue. Combine that information with the scores, then you have a reasonable hypothesis.


> I know the distill models are not at all the same as the full model

It's far worse than that. It's not the model (Deepseek) at all. It's Qwen enhanced with Deepseek. So it's Qwen still.


Yeah, from my limited view point it really looks like Linus is a genuine person. He says what he thinks and there are no hidden agendas. That is very refreshing in current times.


If telementry is your main concern, just use vscodium. (or stick to SublimeText - I use both) https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases


I haven't seen any tearing in X in at least 5 years - with nvidia, nouveau and intel drivers. I don't think I'm doing anything special to achieve this, so your comment seems like a strange assertion to me?

I agree that X11 has some faults, and I really want Wayland to work, but everytime I try it, something ends up being broken.


I do see heavy tearing when watching videos under i3 on Ubuntu LTS and a 60 Hz monitor. So what? I just don't care. Tearing in videos does not hinder me from getting my work done. Watching videos is just wasting time most of the cases anyway.


> So what? I just don't care. Tearing in videos does not hinder me from getting my work done. Watching videos is just wasting time most of the cases anyway.

It's fine for you to not care about that usecase, but other people do care and that's also valid. There even exist devices that mostly exist to watch video and we'd really like Linux and some standard graphics stack to work on them.


Sure, I have no problem with people wanting to fix it.

My datapoint was just in reply to someone writing that tearing under X has not occurred for 5 years.


You only pay fro 365 days a year. The leap day is free.


As far as I know, the Blue card income requirement is the same across the EU, and also quite a bit higher than the HSV income requirement in the Netherlands. If you have a choice, the Blue card is better as it gives more mobility and more time to find a new job if you get fired (in general, I think it's the same for the first 6 months).


It does have an income requirement. In Germany, it’s around 50k Euros per year, and many companies just pay the bare minimum.

That said, I was fairly lucky and found something that isn’t terrible, so I moved. Other than the language barrier, I don’t have many complaints. I’ve heard the language situation is better in the Netherlands than in Germany.


The latest trend is to change your underfloor heating to a air-to-water heatpump system. In theory that can be used to heat and cool. They can also achieve very high SCOP values, meaning you need less energy. Air-to-air heatpumps (aircons that can heat and cool) have the downside that in heating, they disturb the boundary layer around a person, so the perceived temperature is lower. They also have a much more limited SCOP range - mostly because the delta temperature has to be higher.

Edit: I forgot to mention - in some countries installing a heatpump that can also cool does not qualify for government subsidies - so many of them don't have that feature. This seems like a really short-sighted decision IMO.


Yes your last edit is also a thing that baffles me. Heat pumps abilities are mainly advertised with heating applications. That they can run in reverse is too often missing.


I exclusively think of it in the reverse: An A/C that can also heat your home.


One problem of cooling floors this way is moisture. You'll get wet floors if you also don't use traditional air conditioning.


Yes, but as long as you keep it above the dew point, it's not an issue. You also don't want to cool it below that for another reason - it's unpleasant to walk on.

The idea is that you design it so that you have adequate energy transfer with a minimum temperature delta. Then you don't have to go below dew point and the heat pump can run at a higher SCOP/SEER.


a system with a dew point sensor prevents this, but it does limit the effectiveness


> “anyone affected by the fires should know we are behind them completely with the full weight of the company behind them”

Like a steam roller? Sorry, but that was the first picture that came to mind when I read that sentence.


The best thing I ever saw in Silicon Valley was when I was a middle manager at glory days FB.

An intern in his last week got smashed up by a car riding a bike and by this and that quirk I ended up playing a very minor role in passing the message up the chain.

In under an hour Sheryl Sandberg not only knew but was directly involved in pledging all of Facebook’s resources to the medical care and the travel for the family and just everything.

It was truly inspiring. The intern in question made a full recovery and everyone on the team saw that they could look forward all the time, trusting their leadership to watch their back.


An excellent example of why cars should never ride bikes.


I can’t speak for the person in question but I strongly suspect they’d thank you for keeping it light.

Well done friend.


Yes, I perhaps would have passed on the joke if OP hadn’t clarified the ending of the story.


Well, I am the GP, but knowing the person who got smashed up I can say that he had a sense of humor about it, great guy, real legend.

Speaking for myself it’s a pleasant trip down memory lane in spite of a pretty iffy situation: we had leaders who cared about people, leaders who got you out of bed in the morning with a passion, and HN was full of people like yourself who combined wit and charm with humanity and grace.


Ahhh sorry, I misunderstood! That’s a very kind thing to say to a stranger, thank you. Thanks as well for sharing your story (or, the story you were involved in), I enjoyed reading it.


The CPU was launched in Q2 2018, so that is also 6 years. I wonder what the outcome will be with a CPU that supports AVX-512 and a more recent GPU.


Using FFT to dot matmul is much more memory intensive, IIRC.

CUDNN supports FFT to do matmul as well as convolution/correlation and can also be configured to automatically use the best algorithm.

In some cases the FFT method has the incidental side-benefit of data reuse, like in the case of FIR filters, where the data allows for partitioned convolution.
