Palmik 12 hours ago | parent | context | next [-] | on: Two days of oatmeal reduce cholesterol level

Actual Greek yogurt will have 8-12% of it's weight in protein.

Another option might be curd / quark (differs a lot per country).

Is there yet a low friction way to verify age of UK users that doesn't rely on third party services with questionable privacy implications and exorbitant pricing?

I wonder if any of the law makers are investors in those companies.

Questionable privacy implications are the feature, not the bug.

Surely three-letter agencies, "unknown creators" of chatcontrol proposals in the EU and other state psychopaths care very much about the children!

No, they don't.

Mass surveillance and the leverage coming from that is the goal itself.

Does Microsoft let you encrypt the key with your password / passphrase (with a backup you can write down)?

Technically it is possible to configure butlocker using passphrase instead of a TPM. It is not easy though. It is configured via GPO. However it is not a local account password. It is a separate passphrase which you need to provide early in boot process, similar to LUKS on linux systems. It works on windows computers without TPM, i'm not sure is it supported on systems that actually have TPM available.

To be clear, GLM 4.7 Flash is MoE with 30B total params but <4B active params. While Devstral Small is 24B dense (all params active, all the time). GLM 4.7 Flash is much much cheaper, inference wise.

Okay, but why isn't it visible in /news

This post is ranked 7th in /active, now. Quickly cross-checking /active and /news, I've found no other post in /active not visible in /news. It went from 100 to 200 points, since I noticed the delisting. /active is an obscure list, I doubt, that's how many people find this post.

Whatever HN is doing, it seems to be completely intransparent and selective. Some A/B-ing, or geofencing. In any case, questionable and manipulative. Like they are trying to hide interference and engineer popularity/engagement to whatever end.

And you have to wonder, if this has anything to do with the fact this particular political move seems to have greatly backfired on every possible axis, apparently even within the conservative and MAGA base. May turn out as exceptionally stupid, especially before midterms. I've seen impeachment calls in /r/conservative (lol), and they are usually an extension of Trumps digestive system. Diplomacy with Europe is basically dead, France wants to trigger the EU's extortion clause and it's a sunday.

Maaaybe there is active damage control going on.

HN moderation routinely demotes politically charged threads so that they don't show at the top of the default front page all the time.

jijijijij 12 days ago | root | parent | next [-]

It's not demoted, for all I can tell, it's gone. In any case, pretty shady to do this covertly.

layer8 12 days ago | root | parent | next [-]

If it's "gone" then it's because too many users flagged it. You can turn on "showdead" in your profile to see them again. It isn't done covertly. You can email hn@ycombinator.com about specific posts to get an explanation.

jijijijij 12 days ago | root | parent | next [-]

Have that option set. It's not marked flagged, or dead.

See, the weird thing is how quite many people found their way here after it got delisted.

So it's not actually gone? Again, instead of speculating, send an email if something is unclear. Yes, moderation is purposefully selective, but not based on political agenda. Dang has repeatedly explained moderation policy in the past.

> So it's not actually gone?

It is? Dude, just check yourself, instead of sealioning?!

It's in /active, not frontpage or 15 pages in as stated above. It's not marked anything, which would also show next to the title of the post itself. So what's your fucking offense? If all of this is of no concern to you, why bother commenting? Yeah, thanks for pointing out I can write mails somewhere. I should also write my representative and call the embassy. And sorry, I haven't read every thread ever to know what Dang said at some point in the past. Well, what did he say about opaque visibility manipulation? How about leaving a message in respective threads?

I was just pointing out there is intransparent, weird censorship for this post. I don't care as much about the alleged reasons. People should be aware this is a covertly distorted discussion.

What are you talking about? Google came out in 1998 and introduced ads in search results in 2000

Not at all. They train on your prompts and codebase unless you opt out.

I wish there were more open benchmarks comparing different setups and different engines. There are so many knobs to tune (TP / DP / PP / PD / spec. decoding / etc.) and while the optimal setup will be highly dependent on the model, the environment and the traffic, it's likely some useful conclusions could be drawn.

It almost feels like in the past year there is some unwritten agreement between the 3 main open-source engines (vLLM, sglang, TRT-LLM) to not compare to each other directly :) They used to publish benchmarks comparing against each other quite regularly.

Great work! What optimizations are you most excited about for 2026?

mycelia 15 days ago | parent | next [-]

Lot of cool stuff coming up! As a Ray developer, I focus more on the orchestration layer, so I'm excited about things like Elastic Expert Parallelism, posttraining enhancements like colocated trainer/engines, and deploying DSV4 (rumors are the architecture will be complex). vLLM roadmap is here for reference: http://roadmap.vllm.ai/

APIs are usually very profitable. As for subscriptions, it would depend on how many tokens average subscriber uses per month. Do we have some source of info on this?

Some notes:

- # Input tokens & # output tokens per request matters a lot.

- KV Cache hit rate matters a lot.

- vLLM is not the necessarily most efficient engine.

- You are looking at API cost for DeepSeek V3.2, which is much cheaper than DeepSeek R1 / V3 / V3.1. DeepSeek V3.2 is different architecture (sparse attention) that is much more efficient. DeepSeek V3 cheapest option (fp8) tends to be ~$1/mil output tokens while R1 tends to be ~$2.5/mil (note that for example Together AI charges whopping $7/mil output tokens for R1!)

As for the cost: You can also get H200s for ~ $1.6/hr and H100s for ~ $1.2/hr. That somewhat simplifies the calculations :)

Ignoring the caveats and assuming H200s, with their setup you will:

- Process 403200000 input tokens.

- Generate 126720000 output tokens.

- Spend $25.6.

- On Together with DS R1 it would cost you $3 * 403.2 + $7 * 126.7 = ~$2096. Together does not even offer discount for KV cache hits (what a joke :)).

- On NovitaAI with DS R1 it would cost you $0.7 * 403.2 + $2.5 * 126.7 = ~$600 (with perfect cache hit rate, which gives 50% discount on input tokens here, it would be ~$458).
