Deepseek, the chinese AI

By scooby

 The Chinese actually have an AI model now which is supposedly competitive with ours, and as they were forced to develop it using less resources and money, in some ways it might be said they are winning:

Evidently, their model is open source and cheaper to run, it is actually more efficient since it was developed under the constraint of less resources, but I am not sure of the details.

This is a long video that goes into some detail about the Chinese breakthrough:

Does this mean now we are just a gas station with nuclear weapons? The department of energy should do exceptionally well in the coming years.

7:24 -- We know for sure the end result, which is a very good model that runs in a very efficient manner, which has been published in an open-source license. You can download the model now and run it on your own hardware.
Their publications on how the model was generated are plausible, but possibly contain untruths or omit important details.

Another company in China just released a model which is claimed to be even better:

I heard they are using Nividia chips.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
