Looks like a fun take on the snake game and it reminds me a lot of Undertale. I think the lede is actually buried here though. The claim is that they were able to generate this game using zero shot prompting.

> That creation is way more complex than I would have ever guessed -- and even more spectacular considering the prompt was only "Claude 3.7, make a snake game, but the snake is self-aware it is in a game and trying to escape and interesting things happen as a result"
For Claude to come up with all those elements, especially the Matrix section, off of that simple prompt is blowing my mind.

The title is also incorrect. It should be "Claude 3.7, make a snake game, but the snake is self-aware it is in a game and trying to escape"
Tencent launches a new generation of fast thinking model Hunyuan Turbo S
Release candidate: Godot 4.4 RC 2
Translated README.md:

On February 27, Tencent Hunyuan’s self-developed fast-thinking model Turbo S was officially released. Different from slow thinking models such as Deepseek R1 and Hunyuan T1 that need to "think before replying", Hunyuan Turbo S can achieve "instant reply", double the word pronunciation speed, and reduce the first word delay by 44%. At the same time, it also has outstanding performance in knowledge, mathematics, creation and other aspects. Through model architecture innovation, the deployment cost of Turbo S has also been greatly reduced, continuously lowering the threshold for large model applications.
Studies have shown that about 90%-95% of human daily decisions rely on intuition. Fast thinking is like human "intuition", providing large models with rapid response capabilities in general scenarios, while slow thinking is more like rational thinking, providing problem-solving ideas through analytical logic. The combination and complementation of fast thinking and slow thinking can enable large models to solve problems more intelligently and efficiently.

On multiple public benchmarks commonly used in the industry, Tencent Hunyuan Turbo S has demonstrated performance comparable to industry-leading models such as DeepSeek V3, GPT 4o, and Claude3.5 in multiple fields such as knowledge, mathematics, and reasoning.

They certainly don't get a mandate to destroy it, if that's your point.
Aaaand its off the front page. Back to talking about some Steam game.
We know that Isaac Newton wasn't a simpleton because he wrote the Principia. I think you will search in vain for any output of similar intellectual quality by this particular individual.
It is very hard to take the lot of you serious with press releases that talk about a million qbits, without mentioning what is in the device you built. Your press release seems to be engineered specifically to get misquoted by journalists. You don't have a million qbits, and you most certainly do not have the billions of gates required to utilize the million qbits, that you don't have, meaningfully.

You may claim that I have misunderstood something, all I can say is that that is 100% your fault, because you publish nothing but misinformation.

(That is the plural you, and I really do not care which one of you wrote the garbage, you work as a team and you get judged as a team.)
Not to mention, it plays right into Russia's hands by keeping Germany dependent on foreign gas.
You seem to be missing my point.
I guess taking an optimistic view, these sort of designs seem quite similar to the MIT ARC/SPARC design put forward in a lecture put up on youtube "Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion? - Prof. Dennis Whyte" https://youtu.be/KkpqA8yG9T4?list=PL_ywmYr5cjkBWSPyqEaps8uGu...

That actually seems a reasonable attempt at a practical design so all Maritime Fusion have to do is wait till someone cracks that and then do the marine version.

That doesn’t really change the point though.

There might be longterm malnutrition problems if you’re solely eating eggs in mass quantities (since 20 eggs for a 50 kilo person would be hitting near your daily caloric intake just in eggs), but for most people this isn’t a concern.

Having 5 eggs for breakfast (not as an omelette, which obviously has other stuff in it) every day would probably improve most people’s health.
> Get disappointed and lawyer through the arguments to justify renting a home.

This was a nice demonstration of letting these robotic hands learn to play a keyboard. The technique is limited due to constraints of the hands, and is closer to parts of the technique of early keyboard instruments like an organ or a harpsichord, rather than that of a modern grand piano, which requires a lot more control of the body core, shoulders, elbows, arms, and wrists with the fingers doing as minimal a motion as possible. I suppose a similar algorithm learning to play on a grand piano using a full humanoid body could learn a technique that would be exciting to analyze.

>I mean, this is enormously dependent on how busy the route or routes is. A once an hour route is _very_ infrequent.

Yes, it depends on the city. In Atlanta GA, the MARTA bus stops have 40-minute wait intervals outside of peak times. In Missoula Montana, the bus stop interval is 1 hour on Saturdays and Sundays. https://mountainline.com/your-trip/maps-schedules/

In the USA away from dense downtowns, using a public bus can be 4x the total commute time of a personal car when adding in all the extra wait times and the extra non-bus travel times to get to-and-from the bus stops. A 30-minute commute by car that takes 2 hours by public bus isn't appealing to most Americans.

The layout & logistics of American lifestyles favors the car. At any Costco parking lot, you can see soccer moms loading up the SUV with a ton of groceries and toilet paper. Trying to haul all that on a public bus would not be convenient. (The other passengers would also be annoyed by that extra baggage taking up space.) And drivers also like listening to music in their private cars.

In the USA, the more realistic consumer preference change would be replacing private personal cars with public robot driverless cars. Americans could then keep most of their lifestyle without drastic changes while the fleet of driverless cars reduces the space for parking and the pollution.

> who needs 3 decimal points for a price?

Petrol stations... I have no idea how widespread this practice is, but at least in Germany fuel prices have 3 decimal points to better confuse motorists. The third number is usually displayed smaller and is of course always a nine. So, if you see the price for a litre of diesel at e.g. 1.62⁹ €, you might forget to round it up mentally.
> Healthcare workers aren't negatively affected by having to put up with shitty software that doesn't actually work?

Is your position that code produced with LLMs is _worse_ than the average human developer working alone? I would be far happier if the software I am forced to use professionally had been produced by developers guided by LLMs.

But even if you are right, most software developers don't work on anything important and most don't care about the software they output. You're an enthusiast, which is very much an outlier in software development, and so maybe learning the fundamentals from logic gates is worth it to you (it was to me). LLMs can accelerate that learning immensely.

For the vast majority of people employed writing software, that's not true and forgoing LLMs will permanently stifle their employment prospects.

Then let me respond with a haiku. You'll surely accept my deigning of this post as one, as why not?

And sure, some elements of a category can be shared across examples. But there are pretty strong markers, too? And having already a term that describes a type of work, why muddy it by expanding a subset to be descriptive of the whole? Are all humans children? Not just child like, but actual children. All birds are hawks. Book stores are all poetry stores.

So again, what distinguishes poetry from just text? I'm assuming it still has to have a rythm? For that matter, as my sibling said, must it be text? Any art can be poetry? Can I merely deign this post to be both a poem and a portrait?

My guess is you accept that, despite my deigns, this post is none of the things I claimed. But surely I can reject that as fallacy?

Hi

Thanks for sharing this, I was first struck by the fact being laid off from Meta, I mean 10yrs of service and then laid off. I'm glad you did well and recovered after that.

I'm curious to know about the technology behind, did you use a framework?
Scenario 3 the poster is a cool looking image with people doing something that interests me. There is a QR code and no other information.

Scenario 3 the poster says something is happening like "Neighbourhood dinner, Sunday at 7 -- Want to help cooking? Scan this code" -- There is a QR code but no information about who is organising it, where it is or how else to contact someone about helping to cook.

Yes, a name serve just as well as a URL, the point is that people begin to believe that a QR code is more convenient than text. Give me a link, give me a name, give me a search term, just give me something more than a QR code.
This is very interesting. I know obsessing over Roman history is seen as somewhat fascist-adjacent, especially emanating from tech spaces, but I keep wanting to run a company along the lines of the Republic’s mixed constitution. No king with centralised power (CEO) but elected Consuls with term limits, who have the power to kick off and deliver big projects, aligning teams however they need to. Give every tribe (product, design, engineering, platform etc) a tribune with some degree of veto power. Create a senate with every Senior, who elect the consuls and approve new wars (projects). Employ quaestors across the company to do finops. At the end of your period you get a big triumph if you were victorious, or you get dumped in the Tiber if you abused your power.
I think all these identical comments need to take into account reality - most people reading that will not think "oh, so a 10% reduction, then". It's technically correct, and probably chosen to motte and bailey both interpretations, but it's obviously misleading.
The problem for me is that we haven't conceptualized what we mean by "reduced" consciousness. Reduced in what way?

If we create an analogy with audio - audio can have 2 properties: frequencies and volume. Frequencies are the content of the audio and volume is how "present" the sound is.

Well the same could be applied to consciousness. When we say reduced consciousness do we mean that the mind experiences less content (frequencies) or do we mean that all the frequencies are there but at a reduced volume?

I generally avoid FP8 and prefer I8, but your question got me wondering how well cuBLAS performs.

First of all, cuBLAS needs the cuBLASLt extension API for mixed-precision workloads to handle FP8. Second, some adequate type combinations, like E5M2 x E5M2 for A x B, are not supported, while others, like E5M2 x E4M3, are! Moreover, matrix A must always come in a transposed layout for Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell... and the list of constraints goes on.

I've integrated FP8 cuBLASLt benchmarks into my "Less Slow C++" repository <https://github.com/ashvardanian/less_slow.cpp>, adding to the list of existing cuBLAS and hand-rolled CUDA and PTX benchmarks. I'm running them on H200 GPUs, which should have the same performance as H100. For square inputs, the throughput peaks around 1.35 Peta-ops.

> Attitudes like that show networking is less cool now.

I entered tech as a network engineer in 2009 and networking has never been “cool” for my generation. I worked at a major networking OEM and I seemed to be the only one interested in network automation at the time. Even now the network automation tooling from the major players absolutely suck. Networking is stuck decades behind and so are most network engineers.

> what is the challenge here?

If you know the precise state of each motor in a robot hand, you can compute the absolute position of its fingertip, right?

To make a robot play piano, you need to solve the reverse problem of it i.e. to compute the motor states from the target robot position. This problem is called "Inverse Kinematics" and not fully resolved to this day.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) people claim that, if you let a robot move randomly, and give it apporopriate rewards depending on the resulting state, eventually it learns to solve the problem by itself (just like a human baby eventually learns how to walk through trial & error).

Now, you are looking at the state of the art of RL in 2023.
You are correct:

I think its pretty clear that the target audience doesn't care. I don't think the target audience holding differing political views is really a valid critcism of the project. It should be evaluated in the context and audience it was created for.

Just one point - there is no way ownership of some home brings actual happiness, you overload the term massively. Not only some theory, I simply never met such a person so that this would be actually valid. I've lived in 3 different cultures and talk about 100s of folks knowing well personally.

Although I've met quite a few folks that, by chasing the dream of some home in suburbs 'to have their own place' ruined their marriage often beyond repair, including happy childhood of their kids.

The large swaths of seldom-used private land in the US really grind my gears. It’s the perfect example of the “I’ve got mine” mentality that a lot of Americans have.

Visiting Europe, where most private land has access ways (and I believe laws regarding shared use, in some cases) gives feelings of respect towards both neighbors and the earth, which should (in my and woodie guthrie’s opinion, at least) be a shared experience.

I’m not sure if it’s at all related to the first point, but in America, it would probably be more common for visitors (or ‘trespassers’) to leave someone else’s land worse than they found it (when compared to the shared respect generally found in Europe). Speaking in broad strokes, of course.
Oops, good catch! Thanks!

Ugh, turns out I suck at math too. At least attempting it before coffee.

The ship's capacity in MWh is 18620t x 33MWh/t = 614460MWh.

At 45MW generating capacity, an electric hydrolyser at 80% efficiency delivers hydrogen at a rate of 36MW. That will unfortunately take about 70 years to fill the ship to its maximum capacity.

On a more positive note, 36MW is still a heck of a lot of power, plenty enough to run a mid-sized cruise liner or warship. So a marine generating station with three of these turbines could, for example, refuel a liner once a month, and then that liner have enough fuel to cruise for a month, and so on.

This would require a fuel tank with a more reasonable 750 tonne capacity. That's still several times more than the Shuttle, but not beyond the realms of feasibility - and a stronger, heavier tank allows higher pressures / smaller volumes.
I must say that I have never thought about that before but that's the reality of the tech market. Many people I talk to, who are outside the tech, can't comprehend this at all - they all assume the same - the more experience and knowledge you have, the more competitive and therefore highly sought out you become. Not true at all.
