If you read the first couple paragraphs it’s very self explanatory

you dumbass the kind of person who reads only news titles and say dumb@$$ $hit.

3. They're just doing this shit on purpose.

Pretty damning. We're using OpenRouter for some research tasks and it's making me question everything. I suspect lots of the model providers are running into issues like these: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/why-your-local-llm-feels-dum... (HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49402232)

If you require consistency for research, I wouldn't recommend relying on hosted inference without validating the provider/inference stack very carefully.

For my contribution to OpenAI's gpt-oss red-teaming competition (published as arXiv:2510.01259), I initially used OpenRouter with DeepInfra and Together AI. The results were much too noisy to draw reliable conclusions from, and markedly different behavior through AWS Bedrock was the last straw. I ended up renting GPUs through vast.ai and running the model myself with vLLM.

Is doing something you love, and practicing to the point of expertise, wasting your life? Replace chess with playing an instrument, or basketball. This quote is just exclusionary.

Really excited for alpha. When it hits I plan on using it for my daily driver to help them with usage stats and crash reports.

I can’t tel if you’re being sarcastic or not.

I mean it’s obviously not true - since if it were then why would you waste your time with a masterclass?

So the sarcasm bit is I don’t know if you’re parroting all the other masterclass scammers out there for lols or if you actually are a masterclass scammer.

I have to I say (if it's sarcasm) that I appreciate the commitment to the bit. Unfortunately, it's getting harder and hard to tell these days...

There was a real probe into this, seems like no:

I don't really see how replacing the vehicle and the animal is a good test.

It'd be better to just have it draw a completely, linguistically, unrelated scene.

Like, a single tree in a meadow bending in the wind.

I do think that the bicycles stick out. They all look remarkably similar, aside from the DeepSeek test.

Feels like it's been pretty obvious that they have been for a while now

Wow this is amazing! I had a habit of visiting the nicest bathroom I can find (typically 5 star hotel lobbies) while traveling. I took some photos of a couple a long way back, but never even thought to use something like LIDAR. I was thinking of using them as a coffee table book with the title "The Best Places To Go".

So from a fellow public bathroom enthusiast, I wholeheartedly thank you for this project. I travel much less these days, but if I'm ever in a nice bathroom I'll see if I can get a scan to work and upload it!

Well congrats to Clem and the team. I remember when huggingface was doing things like coreference resolution models on spacy.

I hope nvidia does right by the community.

Edit to add: $13B should cover the S3 egress fees for a couple months :D

Totally, and as long as they don't turn on the AWS NAT Gateway, they'll be just fine.

The $13b doesn't go to hugging face's bank acct to pay for anything like S3 egress fees... It go to hugging face's owners' Bank accounts for them to do anything else. New cohorts of billionaires and centi millionaires getting minted.

I think he was telling something called a joke. It's funny because S3 is expensive and they just got some money.

Dont the American investors (Salesforce, GV, IBM, Nvidia) get any of that?

> billionaires and centi millionaires

I think you mean hecto-millionaires.

I think you mean people whose net worth, expressed in millinaires, exceeds 10^11

I think you mean mibionaires

Decitrillionaires

I think you mean Dodecahedrillionaires

They need to switch to egrees free cloudflare R2!

Cloudflare R2 has free egress only until Cloudflare’s enterprise sales team sets its sights on your wallet :)

I wonder if Cloudflare would find a cause to exclude them because I can't imagine the transfer amounts this would generate.

Nothing is free on cloudflare enterprise plans and they will make you move to enterprise once you start using enough services.

I'm using Cloudflare Enterprise and the R2 add-on is provisioned where we only pay for storage, not egress.

nvidia has a reputation for abandoning communities

Ah yes Spacy, good times :)

Yes, there are thousands of qualified engineers looking for work.

It’s a big industry. There are many roles at many different levels of expertise and experience.

Many can’t find locals.

> Many can’t find locals.

*for the price they want to pay.

You can’t get them to apply. They are already very well paid. It’s a finite pool that is not large enough. Bidding up pay won’t change that. Instead you just hire overseas.

Paying more will inherently mean that people cross-train to reap the financial rewards.

They already pay mid 6 to low 7 figures. The people who can and are willing have already moved over.

Care to share with rest of the class what the role is, then?

Principal and distinguished engineers, some Sr staff.

working with what tech? you didn't answer the question to a reasonable extent. it seems odd you need to hire people into principal and "distinguished" titles, you should be promoting from senior/staff to fill those internally. unicorn hunting is an organizational problem, not a useful reflection of the hiring market

Most people who make it to staff will not ever be qualified to sr staff, then the same for each next level.

All of the big tech companies I’ve worked for were founded by immigrants, and had many key immigrants in early Sr positions building the company.

trapped in a bubble… nobody is good enough to work here. go back to bangladesh where all your sr staff must live

still couldn’t answer a basic question. I know I wouldn’t be hiring you with this communication track record

lol, I answered the question.

And FWIW most of the people I worked with were from Europe, with advanced degrees

> working with what tech?

Oh, all sorts. Distributed systems, storage, compute, security, etc.

At these levels you end up doing a very broad range of stuff.

Millions depending on how you cut it.
