DeepSeek iOS app sends data unencrypted to ByteDance-controlled servers

There's zero relationship between data being unencrypted and it being sent to chinese servers.

If you use a chinese service it's obvious that data is going to be sent to a chinese server and that the chinese server would be able to read it.

Unencrypted data transfer, it's a totally different thing. I would like to see if it's truly unencrypted or just not using apple proprietary encryption.

I luckily don't own any apple product, but I have deepseek app on my android device. If I'm bored later I'll try to intercept my own data to see if it's truly unencrypted. This is easy to test. If it's not true that newspaper is going to my "block list" asap.

Oh no. They will know that I don’t know how to implement cache invalidation in python. /s

2nd place is duck.AI in via tor browser

That’s an understatement. It won’t even fit well in 8xA100, you need an EPYC server to run it in CPU RAM, very slowly.

To run the 671B parameter R1, my napkin math was something like 3/4 of a million dollars in hardware. But that (plus the much lower training cost) made this a millionaire's game rather than a billionaire's. Plus the distillations do seem better than anything else we have at the smaller sizes at the moment. All that said, I'm looking forward to the first use of deepseek's methods with google's Titan architectures.

surprised pikachu no one could see this coming from a few thousand miles away

If forced to relocate servers to a US partner,it leaves an attack vector.

To be honest, not using TLS nowadays is pretty surprising.

Having an app installed gives it a lot of information

Unencrypted just means people on the way to that server can peek

I've started using Firefox to install sites 'as a web app'. I use that for cloud services and things I self host. Basically works like a native app but way more control over data.

Yeah, it's actually easier to use TLS than not due to browser checks.

Basically anything else you use here in the west sends all data to Amazon-controlled servers. But they make sure its encrypted so only them can see it. Nice.
