Most people do not support the destruction of books - it seems like the issue in both cases is copyright forcing the destruction and non-release of the scan.

Very much my own opinion, but this continues comma’s extremely cavalier attitude towards safety. PCIe connectors and GPUs are not vibration rated. What happens when you hit a bad pothole?

Unified memory DGX Spark and RTX Spark laptops are already a thing :)

Nemotron 3 also introduced LatentMoE, which was adopted by Kimi K3 :)

The experience I was referencing was actually Microsoft!

Counterpoint to many responses here - when I have interviewed people, it’s a really positive signal if the candidate says they have already seen a problem- the we can move onto something more interesting! Not solving does not mean failure either. As a candidate myself I always mention if I have seen similar problems, such as finding primes - real example, and I was hired on that loop at Microsoft!

On the other hand, if I heard that a candidate had not mentioned they had the same question twice, or later let it be known they already knew the answer, I would lose a lot of trust in them.

Be honest; it’s more likely you will be hired by honest people.

MLOps though typically wouldn't been going quantization? It requires some careful testing of accuracy and performance even today.

Applied ML Research Engineer or something maybe, not that I have ever seen that title. Maybe just catchall ML Engineer...

"The internet" is currently fine, besides Norwegian government services.

Also something designed to withstand something does not imply it survives other somethings.

Capture One in my opinion has much higher output quality, better defaults, and specifically for supports Phase One backs better than anything else. I have not done a scientific study or anything comparing the outputs (maybe I should!), but it’s just really good at producing gorgeous photos.

Media management though is IMO much worse than Lightroom? No keyword search, the catalog gets extremely slow over 10k images, and no filters for different cameras or lenses, as far as I know. I use peakto instead to manage and search my 40k RAWs then open them for editing only in C1.

It’s absolutely wild how Jimothy has taken over the internet. This is easily the most media attention anyone/anything from Ballard has ever gotten.

Also; Free Ballard! End the century of Seattle tyranny! https://www.seattle.gov/city-archives/exhibits-and-education... (JK, mostly)

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.
