Some notes on the new DeepSeek-R1-0528 - a completely different model from the R1 they released in January, despite having a very similar name

In case it interests anyone, I managed to set up a demo of GRPO RL training in Colab. It’s an adaptation of Will Brown instant classic for math reasoning. Replace llama 1B with qwen 0.5b and inference with vllm. Full training in about 2 hours.

Reid Hoffman’s Financial Times op-ed captures Silicon Valley VCs’ hopes and fears about Trump. They hope for eased scrutiny on tech acquisitions, relaxed crypto/AI regulations, and nuclear energy support.
Their fear? Elon Musk as a power broker picking winners and losers. Both outcomes seem likely.

If you're new to Bluesky, or just want to understand how it's profoundly different from platforms like X, I wrote this article last year about federated social media -- Bluesky and Mastodon specifically -- and how they fit into the US history of federalism. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Facebook and Twitter seem less relevant by the day. They may be replaced by new “federated” platforms.

The #1 overall free app on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) is... Bluesky??
This is pretty incredible from an independent team, with a fraction of the budget as most other apps on these charts.
(This represents current downloads, but it still huge. Congrats Bluesky team!)

How cool is this: this is from the Bluesky firehose!
What's so cool about this is:
1. The throwback style
2. That *any* dev can do this! Thanks to there being an API for this (no other social network allows this AFAIK)
This API is a big reason to be bullish on Bluesky
