The mmap() call is actually not ISO C, but part of the IEEE/IEC POSIX.1 (2024) Standard (since about 1996?).

Check for yourself: mmap does not occur in the C standard document:

> You need minimum 24GB VRAM to load up a model. 32GB to be safe, and this isnt even frontier, but bare minimum.

Indeed.

But they said 5 years. That's certainly plausible for high-end mobile devices in Jan 2031.

I have high uncertainty on if distillation will get Opus 4.6-level performance into that RAM envelope, but something interesting on device even if not that specifically, is certainly within the realm of plausibility.

Not convinced Apple gets any bonus points in this scenario, though.

I walk past something resembling a claw machine arcade on my commute, and I've noticed that although every month the prizes in the window swap around, the anime woman figurine and the mascot plush always looks quite similar to the one from the last month.

I _think_ they're from different series, but aesthetically it's impossible for me to figure out one from the other. Trends are still changing, but I think our design sensibilities have definitely found a place to plateau.

> If they wrote a book 20 years ago and it didn't sell much it's not going to sell now either, no?

That's not a universal rule. Andrzej Sapkowski wrote a little short story called "The Witcher" in the 80's, that he expanded on into a novel series through the 90's. Then a game development studio made a series of wildly successfully videogames based on his work, which definitely made way more money than his books, to the point that Netflix made a tv series based on his books. I struggle to imagine how it could be just that the videogames and tv show, based on his work, owe him nothing.

My big issue with Microsoft's AI push is that its solutions are just bad. I tried using Copilot a couple of times, and when it worked, the results were low quality (not even mediocre).

And the problem is not that the AI models can't do any better. The models themselves are far more capable. I assume that their integrations are just horrible. They probably pushed to be the first and then forgot about optimizing.

And instead of fixing their stuff, they think it is a good idea to use moderation tools...

Hey, developer behind Relay here.

Yes, our sync engine is home-grown. We use CRDTs to provide real-time google-docs-like collaboration which is not something Obsidian supports (yet... i think they are working on it).

Note that you can self-host a Relay server and join it to our network. This gives you complete control over your data and unmetered storage. We do still charge for seats if you have more than 3 collaborators.

I think it is likely more efficient. That said, cows do have the advantage that the food they consume needs little to no processing in order to produce milk. The yeast needs pretty precise processing of the incoming mash both to make sure a wild yeast strain doesn't make it's way in, and to make sure the yeast ultimately produces the right proteins.

You can't just throw in grass clippings into a vat and get whey. You can throw grass clippings into a cow to get milk (though, TBF, I dislike grassy milk).

the real question is when peer feedback and review happens.

is making the project file collaborative between multiple engineers? the plan file?

ive tried some variants of sharing different parts but it feels like ots almost water effort if the LLM then still goes through multiple iterations to get whats right, the oroginal plan and project gets lost a bit against the details of what happened in the resulting chat

Why not?

This is a fantastic example - the Harry Potter movies have already been wildly profitable, surely enough to have solidly incentivized their creation. And they are now firmly part of our collective cultural background, to the point that most of the value comes from the network effects of people who have watched them rather than the works themselves.

The first book was written in 1997, and released as a movie in 2001. The last book was written in 2007, and released as a movie in 2011.

Putting a 20-year limit on the copyright would mean that one could use the characters/story (from the book) starting in 2017 - either riffing on them or perhaps even a complete remake. And this would still be 6 years after the final movie was released. The movies themselves would of course each have their own 20 year periods of monetization. You could legally watch the whole series of movies on a personal computer starting in 2031, which is still 5 years away. This all seems eminently reasonable to me.

Comments like yours just go on to show how narrow the worldview of many HN users is. Just because you don't know how people are using their iPads doesn't mean iPads "can't do anything". It defies common sense, too. If iPads couldn't do anything, why would people buy them consistently? I can imagine people buying them once because they don't know any better. But iPad is more than 15 years old now.

I do. The reason why the current generation of agents are good at coding is because the labs have sufficient time and computes to generate synthetic chain-of-thoughts data, feed those data through RL before use them to train the LLMs. These distillation takes time, time which starts from the release of the previous generation of models.

So we are just now getting agents which can reliably loop themselves for medium size tasks. This generation opens a new door towards agent-managing-agents chain of thoughts data. I think we would only get multi-agents with high reliability sometimes by the mid to end of 2026, assuming no major geopolitical disruption.

Thanks for you patience. I wrote way too much. And have re-read what you wrote and the article.

> It is not incomplete to say that something does not require explanation

> Values of physical constants of nature

> the most popular choice was that the constants are considered
brute facts and thus require no exotic explanation

So yes, I deny the coherence of the concept of "brute facts".

If something is determined, something determined it. Some mechanism, constraint, context, structure, ... something perhaps we don't have the right word with the right connotations for, but something.

A specific from a choice is a specific relation. That relation exists, as exemplified by our encountering the specific. Our experience of coming across the specific is not extricable from that specific's connection to the rest of reality.

I can believe in undetermined things, which appear with each possibility, where we only experience one, because in the product of possibilities each plays out separately.

That would be the closest I could come to a "brute fact". Because it is in fact well explained. The specific was not uniquely chosen, so no explanation of specific is needed. Even though it will behave as unique, across each possibility respectively, because differing specifics interact with a disjoint relation.

People invent ways to explain away the need to explain things almost like an attractor fractal pattern, that keeps appearing. The psychological need to resolve things, encountering things which present seemingly or real insurmountable practical challenges to an explanation. And then some "way" of sweeping away the need for explanation is given a name and connotations. But never an explanation for itself, it is always faith based.

Physicists who "believe" that is a viable situation in this case. It is inherently not a testable viewpoint, by definition. The same reasoning, with different connotations and contexts, is rejected over and over by scientists. But stated in a sciency way, the same situation becomes palatable to some or many. But it doesn't become more coherent by virtue of being the "physics" version of the same explanation by non-explanation.

I think it also attracts many different kinds of players (with overlap between them). Some of the same MtG "player personality archetypes" apply to Pokemon: https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Player_type : hyper-competitive players, players who like swinging with the biggest baddest coolest Pokemon they can get, and combo players who like figuring out just the right combination of mechanics if you bring in some move from six games ago plus an item from three games ago plus a new Pokemon that just made the combo possible. Also throw in aspects like grinding for shinies or EVs.

Different appreciations for asethetics apply as well: people who get really into the lore, people who really enjoy specific Pokemon (look at Yellow, or the Let's Go games), people who just want "whatever has the best stats".

And each new game tends to take all of those archetypes into account when creating new content.

I could add 3 off the top of my head. Probably a couple more. Privacy conscious people who aren't techies. Some have tried Linux, some don't know what a "browser" or "SD card" is.

If features like phone calls, SMS, the camera and most regular apps work (especially banking apps, sadly), they'll be happy and receive free indefinite support from me.

I wouldn't use banking apps myself unless they open source them, but I'm willing to make a concession and support my friends' issues with such apps.

This is how I used to use Beads before I made GuardRails[0]. I basically iterate with the model, ask it to do market research, review everything it suggests, and you wind up with a "prompt" that tells it what to do and how to work that was designed by the model using its own known verbiage. Having learned about how XML could be used to influence Claude I'm rethinking my flow and how GuardRails behaves.

Hey HN, my first post here. I built SpacerMint because every storage cleanup app I tried wanted access to my photos through their servers. That felt wrong.

SpacerMint runs entirely on-device. No cloud uploads, no user accounts, no third-party analytics. Scan history lives in a local SQLite database and disappears when you delete the app.

It finds duplicates using visual fingerprinting combined with metadata (file size, dimensions, GPS, timestamps), detects similar/burst photos, cleans up old screenshots, compresses video with adjustable quality tiers, and surfaces bloat from WhatsApp/Telegram/iMessage media.

Free on the App Store. Would love feedback on the detection accuracy and anything you'd want added.

Xbox Series with X > S (so if you want the high end of the current generation you want the Xbox Series X; if you want mid-range things are more complicated because you can now get an Xbox One X, but not the Xbox One, used for much less than you'd get an Xbox Series S for and which one is "better" is a dice roll depending on the games you want to play and if 4K matters to you…)

Series is a real weird word to use there. But it also doesn't help that the versions are extra complicated because with "PC-like compatibility" in everything after the Xbox One playing just about the entire same library you need a bit of a matrix to figure out which is best for you if you don't care about the "latest and greatest".

It didn't come installed and the FP3 isn't sold anymore so you'll have to install it. It was dead easy though, not anywhere near the complexity of installing Lineage back in the days (though that's gotten easier too).

At a time like this, don't put all your eggs in one basket. So maybe come up with a plan to get more baskets.

What would that look like? Well, I've seen the statement that you can become a licensed phlebotomist (one who draws blood) for $500. That gives you an option that is not "write code until I get laid off". (Of course, in a true AI takeover, we're going to have blood-drawing robots eventually, so it's not a permanent fix.)

More generally, even if software stays around forever, you may not be doing the same kind of software for your whole career. (I have done both internet security software and embedded systems.) You almost certainly won't be at the same company for your whole career. Keep learning new things, and keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Right now is more scary than it often is, but we have always needed to keep our eyes open for what we'll do next.
I built a persistent memory layer for AI agents in Rust

Every Claude Code session starts from zero. It doesn't remember the bug you debugged yesterday, the architecture decision you made last week, or that you prefer Tailwind over Bootstrap. I built Memori to fix this.

It's a Rust core with a Python CLI. One SQLite file stores everything -- text, 384-dim vector embeddings, JSON metadata, access tracking. No API keys, no cloud, no external vector DB.

What makes it different from Mem0/Engram/agent-recall:

- Hybrid search: FTS5 full-text + cosine vector search, fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Text queries auto-vectorize -- no manual --vector flag needed.

- Auto-dedup: cosine similarity > 0.92 between same-type memories triggers an update instead of a new insert. Your agent can store aggressively without worrying about duplicates.

- Decay scoring: logarithmic access boost + exponential time decay (~69 day half-life). Frequently-used memories surface first; stale ones fade.

- Built-in embeddings: fastembed AllMiniLM-L6-V2 ships with the binary. No OpenAI calls.

- One-step setup: `memori setup` injects a behavioral snippet into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md that teaches the agent when to store, search, and self-maintain its own memory.

Performance (Apple M4 Pro):
- UUID get: 43µs
- FTS5 text search: 65µs (1K memories) to 7.5ms (500K)
- Hybrid search: 1.1ms (1K) to 913ms (500K)
- Storage: 4.3 KB/memory, 8,100 writes/sec
- Insert + auto-embed: 18ms end-to-end

The vector search is brute-force (adequate to ~100K), deliberately isolated in one function for drop-in HNSW replacement when someone needs it.

After setup, Claude Code autonomously:

- Recalls relevant debugging lessons before investigating bugs

- Stores architecture insights that save the next session 10+ minutes of reading

- Remembers your tool preferences and workflow choices

- Cleans up stale memories and backfills embeddings
~195 tests (Rust integration + Python API + CLI subprocess), all real SQLite, no mocking.

The Wizard of Oz (the one you know of) was a remake.

The Thing (the one you know of—though the other had a longer title anyway) was a remake.

The version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland (so, the one with that meme-able image of him pointing toward the camera) was a remake.

(Franchises? There are some from like the 40s that had a dozen or so entries over the next couple decades)

Many remake examples from almost all periods of filmmaking.

There were tons of remakes of silent films after talkies came about, then another wave of remakes of jankier-effects stagier-acting-style movies from the ‘40s and ‘50s when effects got way better and naturalistic acting took over in the 70s (plus some of these were remaking black & white to color).

according to entire.io it should. i have been keeping a local log for a while and have now been trying out entire. still not sure how i feel about it

pros:

intent is documented

reference to see how it was made

informal documentation

find flaws in your mental model

others can learn from your style

cons:

others can see how it was made

mention things you don't want others to see/know

people can see how dumb we are

reality:

you will judge and be judged for engineering competency not through code, but through words

Much of this information we already knew the very basics of from documentation of the M1/M2 ANE as accessed via bare-metal from Asahi Linux, but it's nice to see confirmation and it being explored in further depth. Note that according to OP Parts 1/2 for very large matmuls CoreML adds little to no overhead compared to the lower-level interface, so there seems to be plenty of scope for supporting ANE for prefill in local AI frameworks. Decode is generally memory-bandwidth limited unless context is very large, and the ANE requires special handling (converting from matmul to 1x1 convolution as described here is wasteful of memory bandwidth, as is potentially dequantizing to INT8/FP16 in memory) so it's less of a clear win.

That women feel pressured to be introverted and/or man feel pressured to be extroverted. Being the opposite is a handicap.

Although, the good part, is that the personality doesn't seems to be genetic and doesn't come from your parents either, otherwise we would be extinct (literally).

Unfortunately, this situation makes me think about genre issues in an different way, not only sort of understanding why they happen, but surprised that it's not more common. I've met very horrid persons, that have achieve what I haven't, just because women doesn't seem to try to see past them. Is like they gave up...

For what it's worth, my take is Microsoft is the one Big Tech most aligned with us and the rest of the world, though HN is too Slashdot-pilled to accept it.

The primary reason being their business model relies mostly on making people productive, rather than getting people to click on ads or buy stuff, which as we're seeing, is much more damaging to the social fabric.

Not watching/reading "news" or engaging in mass or social media is not withdrawal.

Rather it is doing that which opens the space in your mind to be able to "choose a small area where you can make something better".

As long as you are on a hamster wheel of "Trump said this" "Trump said that" you can't make anything better in your life, nor be of much service to anyone else.

It's a good quote, but it is misapplied here.

Nothing is stopping you from investing in a company, or putting your money into a stock or other investment. If anything, over the years the club has become a lot less exclusive. When did Carlin say that? Think about how much more access any given person, at least in the United States, has to financial products.

Part of the issue is that somehow you can buy just the "assets" half of a company and ignore the "liabilities" portion. And the assets include all the branding and brand name. So an essentially new copy of the previous company is made while fleecing all on the liabilities side.

For the bars that are being closed, they are less closed and more like abandoned remnants of the now-dead previous company. Perhaps the shareholders should just reclaim the abandoned items of value physically.
