Once the Mars Sample Return brings some back we can test that...

Doing it in Mojo this year. Much easier so far than it was in 2023 when just basic string wrangling was basically nonexistent.

I doubt they implemented any collision physics.

I was actually reading his blog again last night (after chatting with a friend about QQ), and he has a follow up post, titled: "Quantum Investment Bros: Have you no shame?" Relevant quote: > It’s like this: if you think quantum

Thanks!

Yeah, I was taking the author's numbers there, and there is a lot of nuance to the logical vs physical qubits relationship. Not super up to date on the latest work there, you got any links?

Fusion powered Quantum AGI! (on the blockchain?) ;-)

*ends as soon as practical quantum computers, something which might never happen, exist. The author mentions: > RSA-2048: ~4096 logical qubits, 20-30 million physical qubits > 256-bit ECC: ~2330 logical qubits, 12-15 million physical

I can hear Tim Curry's delivery of that in my head. So good.

Thanks! The app list one for loans is wild (but I can see it).

Yeah, I understand it's probably part of their fraud protection, but feels weird that they get my GPU info when doing a payment. Seems very unrelated. Anyone who works on fraud protection who can explain how this info is used?

Can confirm. I was running through a forest in Berlin and saw a raccoon in a tree. Was a little confused, but apparently quite a few around here.

Blast from the past. I remember landing on this site when studying for my undergrad solid state physics exams.

It's an interesting result, but yeah, not a room temperature superconductor.

Maybe. Could go up still, but a surprisingly conservative move for SoftBank. But hey, maybe the market crashes tomorrow and this is seen as the best piece of timing ever seen, maybe it doubles in the next year. In any case, you never lose b

That's incredible and completely unhinged. I love it.

Yeah, I think diminishing returns kick in at some point. Going from 1080p to 1440p feels like a huge improvement. Going from 1440p to 4k (aka 2160p) is a little bit sharper. I don't think the jump from 4k to 8k will improve thing

Nice! It's a bit similar to Grammatisch, although that just focuses on the grammar.

No RAID?

Tried again and this time it got me. Second place is still Swedish. Looking at the UMAP visualisation, there is a South African cluster overlapping with a Swedish cluster, so makes sense I guess.

by fnands 1y ago
Try yourself here: https://start.boldvoice.com/accent-oracle It wrongly pegged me as Swedish. It's second choice was the place I live, and third place was where I'm from, so not too bad overall. I have been told I

They want to open-source the language, and call me naive, but I do believe that they will. The licence is a bit weird to me though. I do get it for their main product, Max, but it is a bit of a weird one for a language.

by fnands 1y ago
That's not too bad right, seeing as 2026 is getting pretty close?

Alright, Silicon Valley references are not popular on HN it seems.

Mhh, any idea what I could do? It's my website. I just use Quarto to create a static site, but I am also very clueless about web stuff.

Yeah, I went to JuliaCon last year, and it was clear that Julia really seems to have found it's niche in the scientific computing world. I like the language, but as I do ML, Python is really the only game in town, and Mojo is looking p

I would say it depends on how stable you need the code to be. If it's something you need to put in production soon, C++/pybind might be the way to go, but if it's just a side-project, Mojo could work.
119.
by fnands 1y ago
Fair, but it would also be a multi-year project, and I wouldn't take it seriously until Mojo reaches a 1.0
