It does not follow that people making more searches means people are having more successful searches. If google found the exact thing you were looking for and put it top centre in the results, would the number of human searchers stay the same but the number of human searches drop?
Intriguing and very cunning attack! So obvious in hindsight!
It makes me wonder how Deepseek avoids commenting politically on China? I have heard anecdotes that it will be writing out a long reply and then presumably it generates some forbidden phrase and it abandons the output and replaces it all with an error message. So presumably the safeguards could be a separate trivial non-LLM-based post filtering which makes it immune to the doublespeak attack?
Deepseek the model is not that censored. Deepseek the service is. So preaumably like openai and others, there is an additional model and filtering detecting misues or sensitive topics, and filtering the output.
There are plenty of GPT evangelists too on HN. Plenty of people who have a few successful interactions with a code model and extrapolate that to LLMs reasoning and solving general problems etc.
A long time ago I was trying to get video multiplexing to work over mobile over 3G. We struggled with H264 which had broad enough hardware support but almost no tooling and software support on the phones we were targeting. Even with engineers from the phone manufacturer as liaison we struggled to get access to any kind or SDK etc. We ended up doing JPEG streaming instead, much like the article said. And it worked great but we discovered we were getting a fraction of the framerate reported in Flash players - the call to refresh the screen was async and the act of receiving and deciding the next frame staved the redraw so the phone spent more time receiving lots of frames but not showing them. Super annoying and I don’t think the project survived long enough for us to find a fix.
And if you simply have multiple wallets and try and maintain the appearance of being disconnected, can you move funds between them without establishing a connection that unmasks you?
well the idea is to obscure it to someone looking from the outside, give enough information it can still be traced - but that's usually only possible by infosec agencies which is typically what they have access to already with normal banks.
to clarify: it can be hard to prove that two crypto addresses are the same people
There's a whole industry of commercially available products that analyze blockchains transactions for the purpose of tracing them. Anyone can simply buy these services. It is functionally accurate enough to find and prosecute criminals.

Is that a high bar? I mean, you could have said that about forensic fiber analysis—and then it was revealed that the entire history of the field was just expert witnesses lying their asses off for whatever conclusion law enforcement wanted. It turns out that to prosecute criminals, being complex enough that expert witnesses can provide a smoke screen to rationalize law enforcement targeting that is actually based on prejudice and not concrete facts can be sufficient.
Nobody is being prosecuted on the basis of blockchain analysis data alone -- what I mean is that the data is good enough that that it provides information valuable enough to find the criminal in meatspace with the related physical evidence.
e.g. police look for online drug dealer with blockchain data, get warrant, bust down door, find big pile of drugs.
The point being, the data might not be "proof" on its own but it absolutely illustrates that there is no privacy on public ledgers.
depends on the wallets you use and what you do with them, being able to identify criminals is honestly a plus and if you really wanted to you could make their job *really* hard if you wanted to truly hide from an abusive government. Not being able to hide huge transactions in the millions / billions is honestly a good thing. Imagine the transparency we could get if all governments used crypto currencies instead of the walled garden that is SWIFT.
They have high security, and obfuscating the premises is part of it, but is it really secret in any way ? I mean, we're knowing exactly what they're aiming for and could compare notes at the end of it.
Is it war ? in a "everything is a war" political sense, perhaps, but not in any other sense.
We're left with "massive project" for the analogy, that's kinda weak really.
people love to be reductionist... i wonder what aspects of a culture make everyone so black/white us/them ingroup/outgroup. Is it particular to the US, or like, is France the same way? Or Ghana? Or is it just human that everything is a war? Naqoyqattsi.
A decoder predicts the next word (token) to iteratively generate a whole sentence. An encoder masks a word in the middle of a sentence and tries to predict that middle.
The original transformer paper from google was encoder-decoder, but then encoder BERT was hot and then decoder GPT was hot; now encoder-decoder is hot again!
Decoders are good at generative tasks - chatbots etc.
Encoders are good at summaration.
Encoder decoders are better at summaration. It’s steps towards “understanding” (quotes needed).
