hi

I've met this team, been to their office and done a deep dive on what they are doing. They will 100% sell high value space mined materials into earth markets at a profit and be a multi-billion dollar company.

I do wonder why they chose Stoke Space as their launch provider given the founders come from SpaceX and Falcon rockets have a track record.

My first though is that investors are playing some game with investment going to revenues of another portfolio company. How common is this?

The codebase heavily uses PyTorch XLA libraries (torch_xla.*), which are specific to TPU. Key TPU-specific elements include XLA device initialization, SPMD execution mode, TPU-specific data loading, and mesh-based model partitioning.

hi @dang and team, why is my content flagged? It's legit and confirmed from multiple sources that it was a bad gateway.

Guidelines state:

"Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."

What if it wasn't spam or inappropriate or off-topic then why flagged?

This confirms it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41257443

and this:

Shouldn't the flagger of legit content get [flagged]? lol

Thanks team!

Anyone know a timeline for AMD on MLPerf?

"The persistent are attached to the goal. The obstinate are attached to their ideas about how to reach it."

I didn't know what the word "obstinate" meant so here you go: "stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion."

While PG's quote suggests a clear distinction, it's overly simplistic. Persistence and obstinacy often overlap in practice, sharing traits like energy, imagination, resilience, good judgment, focus on a goal, and listening intently. The issue is that "reason" can be subjective. For example, Copernicus and Galileo were considered obstinate for his heliocentric theory, but history proved him right. This shows that the line between persistence and obstinacy is often drawn in hindsight.

Referencing the Collison brothers highlights a bias towards successful YC alumni. It would be more telling to classify current batch founders as obstinate or persistent and revisit their success in a decade.

The Consensys case exposes the fundamental mismatch between blockchain tech and securities law.

The SEC claims MetaMask Swaps 'effects transactions in securities,' but can a smart contract be a broker?

This isn't just about Consensys; it's about whether the '34 Act's definition of a broker can encompass code without breaking the entire DeFi ecosystem.

Congress's silence forces courts to decide if 'protecting investors' requires stifling the very innovation that could democratize finance.

Oh nice! Try leaving it running while you make dinner :)

Bottom left $ is the value of each star system trust. Top Left $ is a high score = # sols collected x total trust value.

Backstory: the story goes that centuries ago a benefactor setup a $0.99 star system trust that compounds annually over centuries ($0.99 x 0.7)^648. So by the time a Solhopper crew arrives to collect the honeypot, each star trust worth ~$31,415,926,535,897,932.

Thanks @midzer! What was your high score?

I use a mixture of agents each with a different model who “speak” with each other and iterate quickly to come up with an artifact.

Same thing happened to me. I was on a facetime with someone in Brooklyn, but I was a 2 hour drive north outside of NYC and it took what felt like 30 seconds to propagate over that 200km.

"Bechtolsheim has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $923,740 for earning slightly more than half that for his illegal trades, and has also agreed to be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years.

Forbes lists Bechtolsheim's net worth at somewhere north of $16 billion. The SEC fine is less than 0.006 percent of his holdings."

This is an example of great AI UX and not sure why it's not upvoted more. It's rare for users to use the term "Game Changer" when it comes to UX.

The “orchestrator”... must and will live on. The only question is where. And the answer to that question will be one of the most consequential in data infrastructure in the next decade.

After playing with AutoGPT it's clear this is needed with orchestrating agents who recursively spawn new agents for delegating tasks. Anyone building this?

@ndr I was just there earlier this year and would like to recommend a guide named Mohamed [redacted] to you (and anyone else who is visiting that area) who we met there and spent two days with in Luxor (Karnak & Luxor Temple) and driving down to Aswan (via Esna, Al Sharawna, El Kab and Edfu) from Luxor.

"The important thing is that you choose and get started."

the fastest riders in the 200-mile Unbound average 20 mph (32 km/h) across the Flint Hills of Kansas.

Let’s not forget that the most important aspect of averaging 20mph on grave roads: drafting, low body weight and high fitness.

If you watch footage of the unbound gravel race they mention, the winners are with a group of riders until the very end.

The fastest riders are professionals sponsored by the companies trying to sell you this aero gear.

If you want to ride faster ride in a group, find your ideal body weight and spend money on a coach. Only then spend money on bike parts beyond the basic lubricated chain, correct tire psi, etc.
