maartenpi_··on Open-R1: an open reproduction of DeepSeek-R1
Exactly. Meta won't do it for the same reason. Liability alone, imagine all the copyright lawsuits...

Secondly the dataset for now has a lot of competitive advantage.

In a way it seems like a good thing that AI giants compete on methodology now.

maartenpi_··on Cantonese Font with Pronunciation
I've learned to speak some Mandarin. What helped me a lot while talking is using Google's Translate function to see if I get the tone right.

It's free and fast. It's very helpful when you want quick feedback.

I learned a lot from it about the pronunciation of consonants as well. The k-sound has way more air in it. You need to pronounce it as "kh". Same thing with the t-sound.

I just came back from a trip to China and it was noticeable how much more people understood me. Still need to work on vocabulary though...

maartenpi_··on Ask HN: Any scientifically proven techniques to boost concentration?
I have done intermittent fasting, but I lose too much weight while doing so. I really liked the benefits. Especially fasted cardio feels so good.

I'm already fairly slim (1.90m and <80kg) and become a complete stick man after doing this. Anybody know how to do this and how to stay in shape at the same time.

maartenpi_··on What cold showers and exercise have in common (2014)
I gave it a try as well, after reading an article on getting more energetic throughout the day.

I didn't notice the difference and the cold showers are not something I could get used to. Guess it's different for each person.

maartenpi_··on Dell’s Skylake XPS 13, Precision workstations now come with Ubuntu preinstalled
Did sth similar here with a XPS15 (9530). Installed Ubuntu 15.10 on it, most of it works pretty smooth. A second screen is a bit of a hassle if you don't get a 3200x1800-one. Besides that I didn't really have issues. Touch also works fine ;)
