This is a very informative post that has helped me better understand DeepSeek
The tl;dr is that the breakthrough was only possible because DeepSeek was able to train itself against the models of US based tech cos, it almost certainly used more advanced NVIDIA Chips by evading US export controls via Singapore, and that the claim of 6 million dollar development is only after burning hundreds of millions on research bringing it more in line with the spend of US based co's
The wakeup call for the US is that our export controls on chips clearly have massive leakage and as Gavin suggests below there needs to be a big rethink of US IP protection when the trained models are easily accessible in China and serve as a workaround for AI development even while facing chip constraints

Dave Chappelle Drops a Hilarious Conspiracy Theory About What Started the California Wildfires
No one delivers a punchline like Chappelle.
���What started these fires? Now they say it’s arsonists. I’ve heard this theory, and I’m sure there were some arsonists, but there were a lot of elements that came together to make this fire the catastrophe that it was.
“The winds were 100 miles an hour. LA was dry as a bone in the levees. And there were just too many factors. If you are a rational, thinking person, you have to at least consider the possibility that God hates these people.”
[Defending US military’s history like they’re an SEC team] listen I don’t care what the records say. Vietnam on the road is always tough. That’s a tough place to play
Carson Beck's Miami NIL deal has a clause that everyday after practice they'll drop him off in the everglades and let his big frog looking ass snag flies out the air
Leaving Minneapolis after what’s been nothing but a truly humbling experience.
Some camera roll images that stand out from what at times was an unbelievable week and a half:
#GeorgeFloyd
So much of history has been whitewashed for the sake of making it palatable for white consumption that we are starting to perpetuate things that are not only misconceptions, but outright lies.
A lot of what you're told about protests, MLK, etc. is wrong.
