I think the key is that the LLM is having no trouble mapping from one "embedding" of the language to another (the task they are best performers at!), and that appears extremely intelligent to us humans, but certainly is not all th

I'm looking for it as a general development machine, sometimes I do stuff that requires GPUs so if they can get a competitive price wrt. building a custom PC then I'm all in for the convenient form factor!

I think most people would agree that AlphaEvolve is not AGI, but any AGI system must be a bit like AlphaEvolve, in the sense that it must be able to iteratively interact with an external system towards some sort of goal stated both abstract

You can just use the GPL, then it's free, but your labour cannot be so easily profited from by big corps

Haha love this "Not intended for radar applications. Core functionality needed for radar not included due to export control restrictions". Wonder how they prevent usage as radar as this thing could pretty much be a drop-in missile

Well you can't reach a high orbit using air breathing engines because your impulse must be given within the atmosphere, and then your trajectory inevitably re-intercepts the atmosphere (unless you achieve an escape trajectory) and woul

Love how clever the logo is! I wonder why the RTC has the resonator exposed? I cannot find anything on the datasheet that explains its purpose

Also you have to consider that even top-notch lasers have a divergence (out of memory, I may be wrong by an order of magnitude) of 10mrad or so, and you are physically limited to not much better than that, so you need pretty insane powers t

Exactly, if you are interested in what you are doing, you will learn no matter what tool you use, be it AI or vim without syntax highlighting. A person that's trying to get rich quick, and sees software as a means to that end (and noth

Pretty much all problems can be reduced to some number of matrix multiplications ;)

Galileo already has search and rescue (SAR) and emergency functions (EWSS)! GPS is trickier, as it's still sort of a millitary-first platform.

I wonder how could you keep the LLM from going bonkers as the game progresses? I have a feeling it's possibly better to re-create the prompts after some time, and have the LLM work more like one of those "reasoning models" wi

I like the "dopamine hit" of changing a task from TODO to DONE that comes from colors. I use this very simple vim syntax file for that :) syntax match TODOKey "TODO" syntax match DONEKey "DONE" syntax match BLC

Looking at the supporting members, this appears to be supported by "both parties" across many many countries, what a sad thing to unite over...

But using pressure differentials is also sort of tautological. Lift IS the integral of the pressure on the surface, so saying that the pressure differentials cause lift is... true but unsatisfying. It's what makes the pressure differen

I'm going to guess the main take-away point is that the weights can be trained reliably if your transfer functions are sufficiently "stiff"? Not like you need the training for the operations presented, anyone could choose the

IMO the difficulties are a bit off, if a 2D physics engine is 5/10, then orbital simulation cannot be 10/10 (even with the difficult stuff like J2 perturbation) ;)

At the same time, having the access to .ptr be explicit is way better than in C, where the variable you are adding 1 to may or may not be a pointer. Having the pointer nature of the operation locally explicit is way better than having to sc

This seems to be a variation of Mach's principle, which is one of the closest things to philosophy in physics! To say that the universe rotates usually implies that it rotates with respect to something external. If we limit ourselves t

I've access to the article, this snippet explains it (taken directly from the article, but formatted for HN). "The device exploits a self-powered mechanism, where the battery electrodes are the pacing electrodes. Specifically, an

I'm not a physicist, but as far as I know, outside of general relativity electromagnetic perturbations always travel at the speed of light (i.e. to affirm that photons always travel at c is correct). It's only after the fields int

It's absolutely insane how, if humanity disappeared today, we would become really hard to detect in pretty short time scales.
