The system I worked on in the 2010s was pretty meager: 192kbits-per-second for the bus and about 54kbits-per-second (BITS, not BYTES) for the propulsion module. This is without video and doesn't count payload. It was also before we got the license for the beefy GHz S-Band, so we were sort of forced to make due.

But... you CAN get a lot of decent info from a low bandwidth link.
I'm just remembering that the images we got from Doves @ PlanetLab DWARFED the telemetry from the bus.
Happy New Years, everyone. Let's make this year count for something.
Hey Sudarshan here, founder of smallest.ai. We do a very well job in Hindi and English. We are better than Eleven in my opinion, but the audio reference needs to be very robust, if it has noise or weird pauses then it doesn't work well.
It's not that it's unprofitable. It's that it's un-interesting.

It's not interesting now, and will never be interesting. It was selected as a topic because it hit the right buzzwords, and nobody will ever read it out of genuine interest. Nobody will re-think their worldview from the conclusions.

We live in a massive universe, in the most exciting time in human history. There are a thousand times more topics to research than there will ever be people or time to do so. To pick a pointless dissertation topic in this open, vast universe of potential is a profound waste of human potential. It's sad.
Right. There's a lot of double or triple dipping of money by insurance companies and middlemen.

My high deductible plan where I have to pay out of pocket with pre-tax money, whereas the insurance company makes 15k to 35k a year and pays nothing on average is a clear-cut case of double dipping. Then effectively cutting off people before they retire, then collecting money from guaranteed tax dollars.

Our private health insurance is designed to extract the most wealth with the minimal amount service.

There's a huge class of non-productive wealth extraction business models and that's become a huge strain to the US economy. These classes of businesses need to be pushed aside; in favor of wealth extraction businesses that are actually productive.

But for this to happen I think the right funding in the right areas of government are super important.
Incredibly detailed and fun read! I love love love seeing this kind of performance analysis. IMO one of the most fun and creative areas of programming is finding new avenues to squeeze out every extra nanosecond.

That's great, but professional programmers are afraid of the future maintenance burden.
This was a pleasant surprise and a pleasant read. Its message reminds me of the words of Shunryu Suzuki:

> As to progress -- we don’t know how much progress we made, actually, but if you practice it you will realize -- some day you will realize that our progress is not -- it is not possible to make rapid, extraordinary progress. Even though you try very hard, you cannot actually make progress. The progress you make is always little by little. It is like -- to go through fog. You don’t know when you get wet, but if you just walk through fog you will be wet, little by little, even though you don’t know -- it is not like a shower.

> When you go out when it is showering you will feel, ‘Oh, that’s terrible!”. It is not so bad but when you get wet by fog it is very difficult to dry yourself. This is how we make progress. So actually there is not need to worry about your progress. Just to do it is the way. It is, maybe, like to study language. Just repeating, you will master it. You cannot do it all of a sudden. This is how we practice, especially Soto way, is to do it little by little. To make progress little by little. Or we do not even mind, we do not expect to make progress, just to do it is our way. The point is to do it with sincerity in each moment. That is the point. There should not be Nirvana besides our practice.

> Make those fucking assholes use the hardware of the people

Are you sure it’s the engineers who are being complacent? I know quite a few coders who’d love nothing more than to spend months on optimizations eking out small performance gains. Their bosses (or the market) don’t let them.

Ownership structure affects things earlier. This is too late.

I’ve seen equity financed companies get “bought” by highly leveraged private equity only to be saddled with 9 figure annual interest payments suddenly. Making them unprofitable overnight.

That couldn’t happen with employee ownership unless the majority of employee shares voted that way.
These are sparse systems, factorization is not a strength of the gpu architectures. Typically adding more cpu cores is a better investment rather than trying to parallelize it through gpu. Nvidia has been trying for some time to make progress with cuSparse etc, although not much has been achieved in the space.

Maybe they try a completely different approach with reinforcemnt learning and a ton of parallel simulations?
You "should" "just" implement the RFC, right? ;-)
Do you think that it we should make it illegal to mine coins if the majority of people think the environmental cost is too high?

No, you (and most folks here) have not understood the full picture. Only the C ABI is relevant here and not the language (C/C++/whatever) itself.

You have to know how exactly asynchronous callbacks registered with the kernel get called, how their stack frames get setup, how kernel writes to local variables within a stack frame of a user thread, how stack frames are adjusted when a blocking system call returns to user space and finally, how and when exceptions (in any language) mess up the above when they implement a different flow of control than that expected by the above "async callback kernel api architecture". All of these are at play here and once you put them together you understand the scenario.

We have standardized components delivered just in time by ordinary vendors and installed by subcontractors specializing in that work.

It is all commoditized and builders and trades people have choices about who they work with and long standing business relationships.

The inherent complexity of construction is a job shop scheduling problem which is not just in NP it is NP hard.

With a whole additional dimension of human social relationships and woven in. Everyone is trying to solve their own NP hard problem across a different set of projects and under a different set of constraints.
Although the idea of self driving is obviously cool I think it's good that robotics take priority (if such a thing is possible) e.g. think of it like the invention of the washing machine as a liberating force on the world.

Thanks for everything! Happy new year HN!
I've had one for about two years now. It has lived up to my personal hype, and I think it'll last longer than alternatives (though that remains to be seen). I have had a few minor pain points, but I'd definitely buy one again.

I posted a review here: https://vale.rocks/posts/a-year-with-the-framework-laptop-13

Also, I haven't updated my review to reflect it, but my acid sweat has been damaging the chassis a bit. Not too dire, but certainly annoying.

https://community.frame.work/t/pitting-on-palmrest/51681
It's a whole bunch of tradeoffs; requiring a working, non-voip phone number does raise the cost for abusers, but it's not enough to make spam unprofitable.

Requiring a deposit would be more direct, but administration of deposits would be a lot of work, and you have an uphill battle to convince users to pay anything, and even if they want to pay, accepting money is hard. And then after all that, some abusers will use your service to check their stolen credit cards.
Quantum states are all one really needs, but it turns out that it's way to computationally expensive to simulate all that just for the purpose of AI applications - so instead we have to go to higher levels of construction. Attention is surely just about on the cusp of what is computationally reasonable which means that it's not all we need, we need more efficient and richer constructions.
Bought a Framework 13" in 2022 (Intel 13th gen). It's equipped with 32GB ram and a 1TB drive.

It has good intentions but falls short. I would say overall it is a mediocre laptop in terms of quality.

Will it last longer than any other laptop? I would think so, it has a strong story of available parts and upgrades. Similarly I believe it would last longer than any other laptop, since you can essentially do a Ship of Theseus with it.

Pain points:

- display hinge problem, picking up the laptop would make the screen lie flat 180 degrees, which is really annoying - this has been fixed in newer versions of framework, but to get a new hinge kit costs $39 AUD plus $30 AUD in shipping, so I'm not willing to make that purchase due to the ridiculous shipping price.

- the modular ports are nice, but I'd rather just have fixed ports and more of them, of course that'd obstruct the repair/modularity story.

- sometimes the modular ports do not work after resuming from a hibernate, I have to eject and reseat it.

- the display is okay, I notice mine has a small granular line of off coloured pixels - i don't think this is due to any physical damage but rather a defect in the screen as I've never had this kind of issue with any other laptop and I've handled the framework fairly carefully; but this line of off coloured pixels is very faint and virtually unnoticeable at bright colours, so it's not a huge deal as I make it out to be.

- the keyboard works great, but I was hoping for an upgrade to something along the lines of an apple style layout with half height inverted-t arrow keys and fn/ctrl swapped; the idea of a marketplace for custom parts doesn't seem to really exist.

- Battery life of about 3-4 hours of very average usage.

- Speakers are trash.

The webcam / mic are good enough.

I run Linux on it, and seems to run pretty stable.

I needed this laptop because I needed 32GB of ram for compile jobs. I have since got a macbook pro 16" with >32GB of ram and it can compile what I need using Rosetta 2 for Linux (so amd64 compiles). Since my mac can now do everything I need, I very rarely touch my Framework. I loathe the idea of having to use it over a mac laptop.

Dudes. You don't have to down-vote me 'cause I'm just asking for where you got your numbers. I'm not saying you're a horrible person and that SpaceX sucks. I'm saying I have numbers that don't match yours. Let's compare numbers / sources and see what the most likely values would be near-term and long-term.

Antique manuscripts were (as the article says!) explicitly not part of this program due to Indian antiquities laws. Big [citation needed] for pretty much all of that, but it isn’t even relevant to the article being discussed.
Great to know that someone else too keeps track of squares.

At the ages of perfect squares is when we all cross or achieve significant milestones in our lives as children, students, (young)adults, spouses, parents, grandparents, senior citizens of society and so on.

This year being a perfect square, I wish that it will be as much or more special as it was for everyone at those ages.
>My point is that if you pick a diverse audience, you will come up with a diverse set of expectations.

You don't "pick" a diverse audience; you respect the audience/fandom how it currently is. I refuse to believe that if you surveyed ANY fandom and asked them to do a character description of the main character, they wouldn't come to a fairly common consensus overall.

>which is, like, accidentally racism.

No it's not, it's people saying the character isn't as they expected them to be - and again that's on the person using the franchise to match what they are creating to that built-in audience FIRST and FOREMOST - if they don't want to respect that audience they shouldn't be touching the franchise they should be making something original.
Happy new year!!!
>n February 2024, a driverless Waymo robotaxi struck a cyclist in San Francisco.[132] Later that same month, Waymo issued recalls for 444 of its vehicles after two hit the same truck being towed on a highway

I am not entirely sure that is solved. And certainly not years ago. And it is only close in US where the data are trained. Doesn't mean it could be used in Japan ( where they are doing testing now ) driving on the different of the road with very different culture and traffics.
DAC: Revolutionizing LLM Accuracy in Mathematical Applications
Hi everyone,
I’m excited to share our latest research focused on enhancing the accuracy of large language models (LLMs) in mathematical applications. We believe our approach has achieved state-of-the-art performance compared to traditional methods.

You can check out our progress and the open-source code on GitHub: [DaC-LLM Repository.](https://github.com/JasonAlbertEinstien/DaC-LLM)

We’re currently finalizing our paper, and any feedback or collaboration would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
if they really want to bet on robotics, I want them to release a $10 variant of jetson board.

You proposal does not address this issue since shells would still need full privileges.

This entire class of exploits (query responses with user controlled data leading to shells executing commands) would be removed if shells just moved to using the kitty keyboard protocol with all key events represented as escape codes and implemented a full escape code parser for data received form the terminal. You cannot embed an escape code inside another, or while technically you can, it is trivial to implement a security policy of disallowing these in both terminals and shells. Then barring implementation bugs in the escape code parser (which can easily be shipped as a standalone native code library) you dont have this entire class of issues and the associated one that the bracketed paste hack was created to address.
LLMs being able to detect bugs in my own code is absolutely mind blowing to me. These things are “just” predicting the next token, but somehow are able to take in code that has never been written before and somehow understand it and find what’s wrong with it.

I think I’m more amazed by them because I know how they work. They shouldn’t be able to do this, but the fact that they can is absolutely jaw dropping science fiction shit.
Some people are just very susceptible although I think it's probably worth saying that everyone interesting probably has some beliefs that seem quite odd if written down in a very matter of fact way by a journalist who doesn't like you.

I suppose the most concise answer is really just "ideology".
I ordered my AMD one late in 2023 and love it.

It's not perfect as battery life compared to the Apple Silicon MacBooks is simply not a competition, but everywhere else it's close enough for me.

Being able to upgrade the screen already was a huge "yes, thank you" as instead of needing to buy an entirely new machines for a particular upgrade I was able to quite simply swap in the new part, which is what I'm used to on the desktop hardware side of things. It's awesome! The community and Linux support is also very cool and I'm excited about a possible RISC-V board to pop in and the overall tinkering possibilities.

That said, if you just need a personal computer, it's hard to recommend in the most general sense I think. But for businesses I can see it being a no-brainer.
I have a growing Mastodon thread of this shit: https://mastodon.social/@grishka/111934602844613193

Racism could have played a part, but I think he largely fell afoul of the Chicago school and MBAism; where engineering and deep business knowledge took a backseat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_school_of_economics).

1958:

- "When Chang arrives at Texas Instruments (TI), he’s immediately impressed. Almost everyone is young, less than 40, and everyone works very hard, 50 hours a week or more."

- "Some employees work so much that they bring cots into the office to sleep. And while there’s an obvious chain of command, there’s few trappings of status or hierarchy"

- "...executives and workers eat together in the cafeteria, and high-level managers and production-line workers converse freely"

- "...everyone at TI seems to be an expert on them (semi conductors)."

1972+:

- "His immediate boss, Fred Bucy, has no semiconductor background"

- "...the knowledge of the executive leadership is increasingly out of date (something they seem to be ignorant of)."

- "Chang tries to convince leadership to start buying manufacturing equipment from outside vendors, which is more advanced and can achieve higher yields than TI’s internally-designed equipment, but he’s unsuccessful."

- "He also fails to convince them to increase R&D spending, which Chang views as a short-sighted decision to prioritize short-term profits over long-term competitiveness."

Often it's just incompetence, not malice
If I take it at face value they seem to be blaming LLM hallucinations on questionable training data from published science done badly while focused on p-values.
That is interesting. I assume robots here means something close to humanoid for rent, and be programmed to take some or most of the human's job and not robots in terms of industrial manufacturing machinery?
HIPAA must have more strict rules to be able to charge companies which don’t comply with it. Now it has many details but it looks like a list of suggestions. When something goes wrong, companies negotiate around these rules and get huge discounts on charges. People may change their leaked username/password and live with it. But this isn’t the case with PHI data. So results must be more serious for the companies.
I chose MacMansions because it was clear and ordinary and uncomplicated.

Building a six pack is driven by the same basic economic condition, the existing building is economically obsolescent.
And it was cheap enough relative to its other specs that the DoD bought a ton and built a top 50 supercomputer out of them.
fun game. great start for new year
Happy new year from Dallas, everyone! I’ve been a lurker on this site for years, truly is a fantastic source of knowledge and the breadth of experience among commenters is insane. Here’s to a great 2025!
It’s interesting how singularly passionate you are about Kitty, with almost all of your comments for the last year (or longer) being about Kitty.

Don’t you have something more interesting to do with your time than to find opportunities to say: nah Kitty is better ;)

I was just finding something to be impressed about, considering it has only just gone public and open source (as opposed to a mature project with established GitHub presence and flow of contributions).
Ok, so your argument for Starship not being the best choice for all mission profiles is based solely on cost. If Starship was cheaper, then you'd agree that it serves the mission profiles?

An estimate of 2 billion per launch is laughable, and suggests you are not arguing in good faith. 100m is more accurate for a fully disposable launch, and SpaceX has demonstrated great progress on reusability of the booster, which will cut costs considerably.
> I guess you're just unaccustomed to America's loooooooooooooooooooongstanding free speech regs.

I'm reasonably certain that I know the extents of what you can and can't legally say in the US better than most people who live there. National differences in these things happens to be one of my areas of interest, but that is besides the point.

I'm viewing this through an ethical lens. Legality doesn't enter into it beyond recognizing that laws that deal with crime are often informed by morality.
Ironic how most of the comments here just cement the author’s position. Hollow feedback about his views on hollow feedback.
Yes, just spray Quantum on it
I like now you can see a massive spike in installs in the last day. The HN community mines?
> And yeah, when it comes to talking about things being discussed in the Public Square in America, the ethical standard should also be American.

I strongly take issue with this. The morality of something does not change based on where it occurs. If something is wrong, it is wrong.

We're likely both going to agree that executing gay people is not okay even if it happens in Saudi Arabia.

If you want to defend the practice, you'll have to make a proper argument. It being a local "standard" is not one.
This decomposition is especially fun!
Sounds like something that would get you on a watchlist.
I’ve found using frameworks like Love, or Pixijs more approachable when coming from a programming background. It’s more like learning the library rather than an entirely new approach to building software.
Marijuana and honey oil. He watched too much Trailer Park Boys and got caught.
Yup kitty revolutionized my terminal experience, hence the passion. I am sorry but since you seem to be passionate enough about ghostty to try to shill it in a article about a security vulnerability in it, I don't think you have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about my posts.

If you want to claim that ghostty is developed very rapidly it behoves you to do a little research and compare it against its peers before making that claim.
This is just not true. A hydroelectric dam failure has demonstrably more potential for mass disaster https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure
Don't forget Pydantic
I have one with an 1135g7. I bought it to replace a surface laptop and to support the idea of unsoldered ram and easy replacement parts. I upgraded the display, replaced the lid hinges, and dropped it right on the power button corner so had to replace the keyboard/lid/base the other year. For the money could have given a different machine with better specs but nice to repair.

It works well with good build quality but battery life isn’t amazing. I rarely swap out the ports so less helpful than I thought.

In a couple years I might change the battery and motherboard. For my use case something with a Costco or Microsoft accidental damage warranty is probably the way to go but I’ll eventually upgrade the motherboard and battery.
Happy New Year everyone!
