@johl Someone in Poland did an interesting experiment. Asked DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square, but demanded the answers were in Polish. And got *correct* information about the 1989 events. They then asked to translate this into English and DeepSeek answered that it's beyond its scope https://73-110.pl/@bartosz/113900590655686534

this is seriously bad news:
"... there appears to be no clear explanation for the outsized number of cases in this local outbreak. And given the ongoing pause in communication from federal health agencies like the CDC, it’s unknown whether the CDC will even weigh in publicly anytime soon."

@NfNitLoop I suggest linking to my blog posts instead, https://overengineer.dev/blog/tags/activitypub/ as a link to the relevant tag, which includes two posts that are written after that GitHub comment.

my current overengineering project involved writing a hacky Python script to generate, layout, and print 24 * 2 * 2 labels with a data matrix code on a label printer.
and yes, I hate everything now, thanks for asking.

Was telling friends about #Diskuto (see my previous post) and one asked "Does it support #ActivityPub?"
Thankfully I have a canned response:
https://github.com/diskuto/diskuto-api/issues/42 (i.e.: No.)But, re-verifying that information, I had the pleasure to re-read @denschub 's now-5-year-old vehemently thorough take on ActivityPub, which holds as true for #Diskuto as it did for #Diaspora:

A “model“ is not its “dataset“ and “open-weight“ is not “open-source“.
How DeepThink trained its models (read: software's ability to statistically quantify the relationship of information in their datasets) is unique and performant. That DeepThink-R1 has reasoning comparable to ChatGPT-4o when other competitors haven't come close is no small feat.
Further, DeepThink allows you to inspect and modify its models' biases and the weights they use to decide what information to present. They chose to be open-weight, which is broadly more commendable than OpenAI's decision to keep everything proprietary.

@Daojoan The metaphor that's been gestating in my head is a clown, on fire, running comically through a forest, flapping his white-gloved hands, setting the whole thing alight. Sure, he is a clown, and he makes silly honking noises as he runs in his ridiculously large shoes, and occasionally he comically tries to put the fire out with his squirting flower, but to just say "He is a clown" doesn't really do the situation justice.
As I type this, I realize it's an army of clowns. Still not funny.
