Wild rumor coming out of China this morning on DeepSeek V5:
DeepSeek is reportedly already pretraining V5 as a ~2 Trillion parameter ultra-sparse MoE model.
And instead of training on NVIDIA GPUs, they are reportedly running the V5 pretraining run on Huawei's new Ascend 950 / 950DT chips with a team of Huawei kernel engineers physically working inside DeepSeek's offices to keep the cluster humming.
If DeepSeek pulls off a 2-trillion-parameter frontier run natively on Ascend 950 silicon, that changes the entire AI hardware story.
Now seems like a good time to remind people that a bit over ten years ago, China compromised a network of CIA sources, hunted them down, and executed them.

My new 2027 healthcare premiums for just my wife and I are $2,271.22 a month... $27,254.64 a year... with a $7,600 deductible. No kids, just us. This is an HDHP "low premium" plan.
So I have to pay $34,854.64 before ever receiving a dime of benefits from my insurance carrier, and Cigna pockets $27k of pure premium profit if I don't go to a doctor.
This is completely insane. Just tax me at 10% for Medicare and call it a day. The US privatized healthcare system is an abomination.
claude successfully diagnosed a growth plate fracture in my daughters wrist and armed me with a study to share w my doctor who was reluctant to xray
she was like “ok fine ill order one just to satisfy you” and man she seemed genuinely pissed when the xray confirmed claude😂
UnitedHealth made over $6 billion in profit in just 3 months. Reportedly denying about 1 in 3 claims.
You paid your premium. They denied your claim.
They kept your money. Then they called it a "record quarter." And it's all legal.
Nothing to see, just Doctors Without Borders suspending services in the occupied West Bank due to Israeli restrictions, “that amount to the collective punishment and ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians.”
Why would anyone report it…
Poor girl from HR in the open enrollment period webinar at work looked & sounded like she was facing a firing squad as she was explaining that this coming year there's a policy change where if your spouse has access to employer-sponsored insurance you cannot put them on your plan
I don’t think people talk about this nearly enough. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it destroyed Gaza’s infrastructure including its sewage systems. Do people know how many deadly pathogens can spread through sewage-contaminated water? Hepatitis A, Shigella, Rotavirus, Polio, Cholera, and the list goes on. Israel has designed it so that every time it rains in Gaza, sewage floods the streets, contaminates more people so that they don’t have to bomb Gaza at the same rate anymore. They can solely rely on disease killing Palestinians at the same rate post 10/07. Think about it, israel destroyed the hospitals, clean water, and sanitation systems… they’ve literally eliminated any way Palestinians can seek treatment.
