This is actually most helpful to the little guys that own $20,000 airplanes.

I have a small airplane and it's always bothered me that my name and address are publicly accessible through the FAA registry.

Most pilots I know are careful about photos they publish online showing their tail number printed in large bold letters on either side of the aircraft. This registration number can be entered into websites like flightaware.com and someone is literally two clicks from seeing my full name and home address.

Definitely, but I was more referring to this recent bout.

This is simply false.

The Houthis are not a state. There are a rebel faction in a civil war in Yemen.

Even if it were the Yemen government banning ships from it's waters it's can't do that by international law. They don't own the whole strait.

Lastly, a UN resolution passed that outlaws this behavior.

The US and international allies have been frequently attacking Houthi rebels since January 2024.

There were even memes about it.

I never said the attack itself was justified. I only answered the question.

A more targeted strike was possible, and it's reprehensible that one was not chosen.

The target himself was a legal target even by the most strict interpretation of armed conflict international law.

A targeted strike was absolutely possible. So many innocents did not need to die.

Unfortunately it's always been the case for as long as humans have had war that the civilian casualty ratio is around 50% to 90%.

Edit: Apparently the 90% figure is a myth. According to the wiki it's much more likely to be 50% to 60%.

Are you actually asking?

The Houthi's are an Iranian controlled terrorist organization that have been attacking commercial shipping in the Red Sea since November 2023.

The Houthis have sunk two vessels and killed four crew members, forcing a lot of shipping to Europe to be diverted around the South of Africa.

The US and allies have been fighting the Iranian-backed Houthis for over a decade, this is just a recent resurgence following the war in Israel.

Sell it to whom, Ben?

Well, OpenAI has clearly scraped everything that is scrap-able on the internet. Copyrights be damned. I haven't actually used Deep seek very much to make a strong analysis, but I suspect Sam is just mad they got beat at their own game.

The real innovation that isn't commonly talked about is the invention of Multihead Latent Attention (MLA), which is what drives the dramatic performance increases in both memory (59x) and computation (6x) efficiency. It's an absolute game changer and I'm surprised OpenAI has released their own MLA model yet.

While on the subject of stealing data, I have been of the strong opinion that there is no such thing as copyright when it comes to training data. Humans learn by example and all works are derivative of those that came before, at least to some degree. This, if humans can't be accused of using copyrighted text to learn how to write, then AI shouldn't either. Just my hot take that I know is controversial outside of academic circles.

Yah, I'm an AI researcher and with the weights released for deep seek anybody can run an enterprise level AI assistant. To run the full model natively, it does require $100k in GPUs, but if one had that hardware it could easily be fine-tuned with something like LoRA for almost any application. Then that model can be distilled and quantized to run on gaming GPUs.

It's really not that big of a barrier. Yes, $100k in hardware is, but from a non-profit entity perspective that is peanuts.

Also adding a vision encoder for images to deep seek would not be theoretically that difficult for the same reason. In fact, I'm working on research right now that finds GPT4o and o1 have similar vision capabilities, implying it's the same first layer vision encoder and then textual chain of thought tokens are read by subsequent layers. (This is a very recent insight as of last week by my team, so if anyone can disprove that, I would be very interested to know!)
