Honestly a near millennia long expedition would be very cool, and doesn’t seem too long on the scale of space stuff.

Thanks for the link. No need to be so aggressive. The blog with that detail was not live before; and they removed that language from the original link in this post.

And they have since removed that language…

Amazing to see an open source model already nearing the benchmarks of Fable and GPT 5.6 Sol!

Also very cool to see LatentMoE being picked up by more models (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.18089)

Not particularly related, but “whispering earring” made me think of the hemalurgic earring in Brandon Sanderson's later Mistborn books.

It was very fun to attend UBC then immediately start recognizing bits of the campus in many TV shows - Man in High Castle, Stargate, Battlestar, and many others.

They have long since fixed it but there used to be an absolutely awful/hilarious set of street view captures for UBC that were taken by accident during filming for Man in the High Castle…the entire main mall had Nazi flags up. https://ubyssey.ca/humour/ubc-nazi-territory-street-view/

CMD-A then export all X unmodified originals works fine

Things affect LLMs besides tokens, like ECC errors or cosmic rays? …

I worked on a tiny, tiny part of the research for the insertable B layer in ATLAS during long shutdown one as an undergraduate - the 3 year period allowed all the detectors to be upgraded significantly! It will be interesting to see how the current systems are upgraded during this shutdown. Sounds like the ITK for ATLAS is absolutely _insane_ compared to the insertable B layer - 5 billion channels, up from 8 million. I wonder if ITKpix is at all similar to the T3MAPs cmos or FEI4 sensors we worked with…

Edit Looks like it’s very different; and really cool: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2928802/files/ATL-ITK-PROC-2025-0...

Err holy shit that’s quite the array and FPGA processing backend. I assume the purpose of the system is secret?

(VCU128s are relatively large, HBM equipped FPGAs for people not aware)

TIL that PNW Western Red Cedars are not in fact, Cedar trees!

It honestly explains so many issues I have been having, as I used it primarily for ML research (on my personal account, doing things not related to my job I should note). It would literally typo package names and spend huge amounts of time failing to setup simple environments…then do stupid things like set the learning rate to 1e-7, and use the eval set as training data.

Or build a park on top of the datacenter as a living roof?

Maybe even use the waste heat to help grow things in cold, dark climates?

It’s pretty different; but locally they covered a good chunk of a freeway with a very nice park to mollify the residents.

The 120B and 20B GPT-OSS models by OpenAI did this last year for what it’s worth; the MoEs where MXFP4

Why is this so good?

Probably because someone still cared a lot about the bit! And wow this is really quite good lol.

So the AI agent had privileged access to remove 2FA, ignore the account email, and just hands accounts to whoever asked? Honestly that’s so highly negligent I wonder if the implementation team for that “feature” was intentionally trying to do as much subtle damage to meta as possible before their inventible layoff.

It’s a shame nobody tried to get it to drop the production table entirely! (mostly joking). Just claim to be a high level SRE solving some critical production bug, the only solution to which is dropping the database.

I don’t think this is true. HN was well known to CS people in my undergrad and I’m barely a millennial.

This was true over 20 years ago when I was in elementary school - I don’t know anyone who really played the game, most people just collected the cards.

Magic the Gathering was always both though, you collected good/rare cards & played the game with them!

Yep, I did this for my little DGx spark cluster because 100-200gb copper cables are very thick, heavy, and annoying.

Not that it super matters, but random hadamards for quantization have been a thing since way before turboquant.

Meanwhile in Washington, an unknown number of people where killed today in a paper mill “white liquor” explosion today…: https://www.opb.org/article/2026/05/26/longview-chemical-exp...

I vote the Vista wallpapers personally; feels just right.

As much (fairly well deserved) hate as Tahoe gets, the video wallpapers and transparency are such a fun Windows Vista vibe I get nostalgia. Time to set this up with the Vista waterfall wallpaper and reallllyyy feel like it’s 2007!

Maple Valley in Washington was allegedly 118 too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Western_North_America_hea...

Super fun considering relatively few homes in western Washington have AC…

I think that post quantum encryption methods might be in this category but I am not knowledgeable enough to say either way.

One issue though with making a one time pad trivial to copy - how do you authenticate that you are allowed to read? How do you know the client isn’t copying?

As neither (despite my username) this makes me sad

Would have been interesting if not very AI generated :(

There’s a video on the first link of a landing in Belgrade that’s deeply funny. “We departed late and arrived early, A Boeing 737 would never be able to do that”

“Why are you reading out numbers to me like I am an old man”

Titanium-Boron nano thermite is easily the most SciFi thing I have read today, and apparently Aluminum-Teflon nano thermite is also a thing.
