Deepseek v3 is the model in question

They’ve already started testing that at Google For ad enhancement and For immersive ads there’s no way they keep the chatting models pristine and ad-free

The dystopian future of “pay to use this miraculous product or it will shove advertisements down your throat in a way we know will work because we’ve trained it to sell specifically to you”

llama is good and I’m looking forward to trying deepseek 3, but the big issue is that those are the frontier open source models while 4o is no longer openai’s best performing model, they just dropped o3 (god they are literally as bad as microsoft at naming) which shows in benchmarks tremendous progress in reasoning

When running llama locally I appreciate the matched capabilities like structured output, but it is objectively significantly worse than openai’s models. I would like to support open source models and use them exclusively but dang it’s hard to give up the results

I suppose one way to start for me would be dropping cursor and copilot in favor of their open source equivalents, but switching my business to use llama is a hard pill to swallow

Don’t forget refinancing is not free, often $10000 usd+ to refinance with application, origination, title, and other fees

I met my SO in an uber randomly, we’ve been dating for 5 years

Your worth as a person isn’t measured by your ability to find a romantic companion

You are simply a person, people of the alternate gender are simply people. There is no magic transition that happens when you find a relationship, people are depressed in and out of love.

My recommendation is to find community, leave the house, look for public events, join board game nights, pick up a hobby like pottery or biking or a specific video game, get really into something and enjoy your platonic time with people who also enjoy that thing.

Platonic relationships have just as much value as romantic relationships.

Nah electron is an excellent technology, v8 is a remarkable engine. Maybe something like tauri will unseat it eventually but the ability to spin up a new product in relatively short order is good for everyone. Ram and disk usage are higher than they would be with a native app but velocity is unparalleled
