  • C++ is just an exceptionally badly designed language.

    The weakness of C++ is that it attempted to be backwards compatible with C. It’s like it’s trying to be two programming languages at once.

    And then it became like three languages at once when smart pointers became the norm. It makes it very difficult and confusing to learn.

  • Early access games are usually sold for cheaper. I think it’s a good deal: pay smaller price for a fun but partial game. Maybe it will turn into a good full game? The developers get feedback directly from customers. It’s a win win.

  • I’ve enjoyed early access games that are still in development. Most notably Ultrakill, which I regard as one of the best action games of all time. Yeah it would suck if Ultrakill would never reach its conclusion, but I’d rather have a great but unfinished game than no game at all.

  • Huge tragedy. As a Swede, I never expected we would ever have a school shooting of this magnitude. It’s a sad day for everyone.

    Some added context: the school is a base and college level education school for adults. It’s like a second chance for many. This often applies to immigrants, which makes these kinds of schools immigrant heavy.

    The attack seem to have no gang related motivation (like other recent shootings and bombings in Sweden). Not much has been made public about the attacker, but it seems like he acted alone. He was a loner in general. Probably an ethnic Swede based on current rumors.

    Update: the attacker’s identity has now been made public, which confirms the rumors. Why he did it is unclear though.

  • Ok I understand now why people are upset. There’s a disagreement with terminology.

    The source code for the model is open source. It’s defined in PyTorch. The source code for it is available with the MIT license. Anyone can download it and do whatever they want with it.

    The weights for the model are open, but it’s not open source, as it’s not source code (or an executable binary for that matter). No one is arguing that the model weights are open source, but there seem to be an argument against that the model is open source.

    And even if they provided the source code for the training script (and all its data), it’s unlikely anyone would reproduce the same model weights due to randomness involved. Training model weights is not like compiling an executable, because you’ll get different results every time.

  • The model is as far as I know open, even for commercial use. This is in stark contrast with Meta’s models, which have (or had?) a bespoke community license restricting commercial use.

    Or is there anything that can’t be done with the DeepSeek model that I’m unaware of?
