Wildly incorrect reasoning logic by the DeepSeek R1 NPU distillation released by Microsoft

Solid reasoning coming out of Microsoft’s DeepSeek R1 NPU Optimized distillation…

“Wait, but in PowerShell, you can’t have a script with just one line unless it’s a single-line script”

Fridge water dispenser not working after getting back from vacation

pull fridge out, check valve, line, etc… all looks good. ugh

Finally get around to chatting with LG today:

“please check this (10 things that I’ve already done)”
“I already did”
“Please do it again”

Dispenser starts working

Had a little bit of "FUn" with a capital FU in PowerShell playing around with regex. I took what I learned and did a little blog about it: z-nerd.com/posts/2023/1...

By no means an extensive deep dive, but maybe it gives you something to play around with.

It has begun again... let the blogging begin...
