Some of these point arrangements superficially resemble Chladni figures ( https://chalkdustmagazine.com/regulars/on-the-cover/cover-ch... ) coming from the vibrations of a square drum. Orthogonally, I wonder if thes

"When we learn how this curve was obtained that might change." IF they tell us. AFAIK Anthropic never released the reasoning chain for the Jacobian conjecture counterexample, and they might not release anything for this either.

yes of course LLMs are already wreaking havoc by scaling up the bot farms of yore but that's not really how I interpreted hyperpersuasion, I interpreted it as a specifically targeted one-on-one conversation with belief in a specific no

It would be great if there was a much more thorough example output in the README, including e.g. Qwen 3.8 27B (once it comes out).

Any project I see on HN now, I have no idea if the developer will still be interested in it in a month. I'll stick with ghostty because of its reputation.

the people who crow in the comments of each of these posts about AI advances making human beings useless seem to bizarrely identify themselves with the AI, but none of them seem to have had any hand in building this technology. at best, the

Just ran it against Whisper-Large-V2 on a math lecture (my primary use case for ASR is subtitling math lectures), and it was substantially faster and only slightly worse. Very usable for live transcription though I'll probably stick wi

A principal dogma on orange reddit is the neutrality of technology. Most people here are opposed to the nigh inevitable incipient use of AI in mass surveillance but don't think that that has any relationship to their use of AI (for exa

it probably doesn't help that they're constantly bifurcating their tiny team into new projects. their browser is essentially nonfunctional for daily use but they've already moved on to porting it to Linux

my understanding is that they factored 15 using a modular exponentiation circuit that presumes that the modulus is 3. factoring 15 with knowledge of 3 is not so impressive. Shor's algorithm has never been run with a full modular expone
