Where are you and how long did it take to save up for a downpayment?


First house was in the North of England, took 4 years to save up enough.


Are you in the black as a household overall?

We aren't yet. Our projection is that we will be in 5-7 years. I'm turning forty soon.

Just to give you an anchor point.


What does “in the black” mean at a household level? Total assets minus loan balances being positive?


Sorry, yes. I was thinking net worth > 0.


Ah, I was wondering too but my reply button was gone, yes I would say we’ll be net > 0 around the same time as you age wise. If we hadn’t had to renovate a 60s property we’d possibly be there already but UK housing stock needs work sadly.


Does home price count as an asset in this "in the black" calculation?


Perhaps they're waiting for the Grok API to be public?


Somewhat but not exactly? I think the models need to be trained to think.


Indeed. I wonder what the architecture for Claude and Grok3 is. If they're still dense models was the MoE excitement with R1 was a tad premature...


lol clueless


What makes you say that? Do you think Chinese top tier talent is cheap?


I did not refer to the talent directly contributing to the technical progress.

P.S. - clarification: I mean not referring to talent at OpenAI. And yes I have very little doubt talent at DeepSeek is a lot cheaper than the things I listed above for OpenAI. I would be interested in a breakdown of the cost of OpenAI and seeing if even their technical talent costs more than the things I mentioned.


Do you think 1.5M a year compensation is cheap? That’s in the range of OpenAI offers.


What is cheap? But compared to the US, yes. Almost everywhere talent is 'cheap' compared to the US unless they move to the US.


How experienced are you with Chinese AI talent compensation?


I'm sure the salaries at Deepseek in China were lower than the salaries at OpenAI.


How are you sure about that?


A qualified guess. Do you have something that indicates dev salaries are lower in US vs China?


One example is that I've received offers to work in big tech in China at or exceeding my FAANG compensation here in the Bay Area. I have other reasons to believe as well but I can't talk about that in public.


Definitely cheaper than American top tier talent


How much cheaper? I’m curious because I’ve seen the offers that Chinese tech companies pay and it’s in the millions for the top talent.


So what I'm seeing is that Qi2 is based on MagSafe then.


MagSafe is just a branch of Qi that was merged back into main.


So Qi2's ancestor is MagSafe. Got it.


And MagSafe's ancestor is Qi.


Doesn't matter, since what we're talking about is Qi2 vs MagSafe hahaha


It does matter. Qi2 is based on Qi, period. Qi 1 was not thrown out and "replaced" with MagSafe-- MagSafe was just a brand name of a Qi superset.

Next time you merge any pull request into your project (especially a tiny one adjusting some UI spacing), should I come on Hacker News and repeatedly insist you had nothing to do with the project's development and the person who wrote that PR really deserves all the credit? That's the metaphor cptskippy was using. You're making it out to be a "ship of Theseus" situation when it's not.


I think hallucinate is a good term because when an AI completely makes up facts or APIs etc it doesn't do so as a minor mistake of an otherwise correct reasoning step.


its more like conspiracy theory. when you're picking a token youre kinda like putting a gun to the LLM's head and demanding, "what you got next?"


I'm not quite sure what your issue with the reintroducing bugs is? How else do you expect them to build a test suite?


My issue is that its not the original bug that is being reintroduced (or the original code checked out at that point), but rather trivialized approximations of how the bug was presenting itself.


Nope.
