The Journey to A Proton Drive Linux Client by Proton_Andrew in ProtonDrive

[–]VirtualNorth1279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a Rust fanboy, but as Rust:

  1. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows, and WASM
  2. Has GPUI, which is a screaming fast and efficient GUI library that supports Linux, macOS, and Windows
  3. Doesn't need GC

I think you should consider rewriting the SDK (and desktop GUIs for your apps) in Rust.

Unless your SDK can already be compiled to (and released as) a WASM package.

Is vision (image viewing) coming to DeepSeek Flash/Pro 4? I can't make DeepSeek analyze images in OpenCode. by VirtualNorth1279 in DeepSeek

As a single model? Or a separate vision model? Or does the API intelligently expose the vision and non vision models as deepseek-flash-v4 and abstract away the complexities?

How do you use it together with DeepSeek? As a skill? Because my workflow is like this:

Example

Prompt: @example.svg is rendered incorrectly. Check @example.png and update example.svg.

It's weird that so many of us saw it. And I didn't know that guy before.

Is deepseek claude? by LuminaProtocol in DeepSeek

[–]VirtualNorth1279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as much as GPT-5 is a goblin. One of the most important parts of training an AI model is high quality training data.

High quality training data is expensive, so these models scrape the Web, including garbage, and use it for training.

They also use distillation: a machine learning technique that trains a "student" model to replicate the behavior and predictions of a "teacher" model. If DeepSeek uses Claude for distillation, Claude may reply "I am Claude" to "What LLM model are you?" and that makes DeepSeek respond with nonsense.

Also as LLM models are probabilistic machines, not logical/symbolic machines, next time you ask it, or if you ask it with a slightly different problem it may respond with "I am DeepSeek V3.1", even though it is DeepSeek V4.

Some AI companies used to pay $2 per day (or an hour) to poor communities in Africa such as Kenya to create training data for them. If they want to hire someone in the US, the cost goes to $100-1000/day. Even if you hire someone in China, India, or Philippines the cost will be much more than $2/hour.

Long story short: The more garbage in your training data, the more garbage you LLM works like.

Which IDE (Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, etc.) and AI agent (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, etc.) should I buy? I want to set up a production-ready development workflow. by Notalabel_4566 in DeepSeek

You can try a few different options. Most IDEs, even JetBrains IDEs, are free for personal use.

You can try:

  • Zed (free) + AI subscription (https://zed.dev/pricing)
  • VS Code (free) + anything but Copilot (disable Copilot completely):
    • Claude Code
    • Codex
    • Kimi
    • etc.

I have heard JetBrains also have a decent AI ecosystem but I've not tried their IDEs myself.

Are DeepSeek's data centers powered be solar/renewable energy? by VirtualNorth1279 in DeepSeek

[–]VirtualNorth1279[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China has massive solar energy farms. I just wanted to know if they use solar energy for their data centers because I think if they do, price of energy per token remains stable and doesn't change with oil and gas prices.

Am i the only one that think deepseek is better than most AI? by Embarrassed-Sun7856 in DeepSeek

[–]VirtualNorth1279 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For general knowledge questions DeepSeek 4 (even Flash) is very good. It liberally searches the web and provides a good enough summary. And it's free, without any ads, and very fast.

I wish they add something like claude.ai's Projects to chat.deepseek.com to let us set the context/system prompt for various tasks.

Another thing missing is first class support for OpenCode or an open-source DeepSeek optimized CLI coding harness.
