The chronically online anti-uk folks like to turn a blind eye to anything that’s justifiable for matter of principal.

It’s why the US has such a problem with gun control and laws.

I could argue everyone should have guns, and it’s just bad people, right?

Right. Switzerland has 100x guns per capita than UK and 2x less intentional homicides than UK.

Why are we comparing Switzerland? Do you want to try again with the United States?

Let me give it a go; Switzerland has higher gun homicides than the UK.

What is the most secure way to use this model as someone who is lazy

I understand DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is available on US providers with Zero Data Retention if that is what you are asking.

Yes, but with subpar caching and higher cached token pricing, compared to directly using the DeepSeek platform.

For caching, only if you don't specify your preferred providers and let OpenRouter route each request itself. I have stuff like this in my OpenCode config for each model I use and I regularly get ~90-95% cache hit rates.

    "order": ["relace", "coreweave", "novita", "baseten", "together"],
    "allow_fallbacks": false

It still won't be quite as high as you'd get by just using DeepSeek because occasionally a request will fail and you'll get routed to a backup provider with nothing cached, but it's close enough not to matter in most instances.

But I can't argue with the lower off-peak pricing when using DeepSeek directly. The downside is they train their models on your input, which might be a deal-breaker for many users (as it is for me).

Link for the lazy?

One example is Opencode. https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/console/models/

"Privacy# All these models are hosted in the US. Providers follow a zero-retention policy and do not use your data for model training, with the following exceptions:

I have doubts about Opencode Zen. They don't state who their providers are (unlike OpenRouter).

Eh, it's also one of the providers with "blind" vision models https://mmoustafa.com/blog/so-you-want-to-use-openrouter/

Sadly, there is no way to tell if this is running with real weights or being heavily quantized.

just checked, yes they don't seem to provide that information, most other providers are advertising fp8 or fp4 which is okay, but "together" doesn't, so they are likely using fp4

update: coreweave/fp8 is at 191 tps, launched this morning, but really bad cache hit rate (~60%), coreweave is good for privacy but let's hope they improve cache

I use it on fireworks which is US/ZDR and pretty reliable. We run a few hundred million tokens/day through it for dollars. Many are cached, which is super duper cheap.

I like devcontainers

OAI and Anthropic remain the biggest heist ever in our lifetime.

Genuinely fucking crazy we pay money for fast access to autocomplete of stolen human remains.

That's every year since it's introduction

My understanding is it’s E2E transcribed dictation via PCC? Is that not the case?

Still use mine!

I will say it was a pain in the ass to open and answer calls though when you were busy doing things.

You can’t even do that with your HN account..you think Flock, with its lucrative gov contracts…would ever?

Google did make location history private in the maps app(delete on server side) at some point, if I recall correctly everyone can at the least opt in(i may be wrong and it may even be opt out!). I believe out of the exact concerns of warrantless sweep of all location data of all users around a lat long for server side storage by law enforcement.

It went under the radar but is a good example of _some_ incremental positive improvement over centralized storage.

You can email dang and co and they’ll delete your HN account (maybe even remove your posts? Might be making that up?) they just prefer folks not IIRC.

Per friends who have done this, you apparently need to explain why and have reasons™. It’s not just a quick “hi forget me” request. All of which I find a bit absurd.

I imagine they don’t reject it though. Inconvenient, should be one click, but I also get it on some level even if that’s not how I’d handle it.

I should have been more clear. You have to give reasons why, as in - if your identity is at risk, legal issues, company concerns..etc. This was the push back my friends and I have joked about (only two so far who have made this request).

The request is not taken at face value, you have to have it approved.

Welcome to the thunder dome. YC is not our friends, they just host what (was) a niche forum where early tech peeps could have mostly civil conversations. It’s become increasingly hostile in moderation and sharp political opinions, that a lot of the joy here has fumbled out. (sorry mod team..I know you deal with a lot and traffic/spam keeps growing).

Honestly, the iOS weather app is hyper accurate I’ve found in Europe in comparison to America…

It really does come down to data source quality and access…that’s the crux of it.
