techsystems··on Donut Lab’s all-solid-state battery delivers 400 Wh/kg of energy density

techsystems··on Boston Dynamics and DeepMind form new AI partnership
>Let’s see if this is the time for industrial robots

This is a bit unclear to me. Is this implying that it hasn't been the time for industrial robots?

techsystems··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
Amazing work!
techsystems··on Show HN: Dealta – A game-theoretic decentralized trading protocol
In 3.1, rejecting (R) fraudulent (F) goods resulting in 0 for the seller is a strong assumption. There are all kinds of possible negatives (typically risks of legal fees) for storage costs of fraudulent goods in the game of hot potato. It might be worth your time to look into the literature a bit more.
techsystems··on Ask HN: How are you sandboxing coding agents?
Thanks for the share, but I'm having a hard time understanding this.

On step 2, it's only jailing VS Code. Shouldn't it also jail the Git repo you're working on (and disable `git push` somehow), as well as all the env libs?

Also, isn't the point of this to auto approve everything?

techsystems··on Chomsky and the Two Cultures of Statistical Learning (2011)
He did say 'any known' back in the year 1969 though, so judging it to today's knowns would still not be a justification to the idea's age.

No, that is absolutely not the case.

techsystems··on Apple to beat Samsung in smartphone shipments for first time in 14 years
https://counterpointresearch.com/en/insights/global-smartpho...

So every quarter this year except the last quarter, Samsung outsold Apple. So they're predicting that Q42025 for Samsung will be miserable sales or Apple will have skyrocketed sales?

techsystems··on End of Japanese community
Floorp is a fork by Japanese developer, though his English is not perfect. It removes all backwards compatibility to speed things up, competing vs. Thorium to be best performing browser, if anyone's interested.

techsystems··on Nvidia buys $5B in Intel
The reason why Nvidia is buying now does not have to do anything with Arc or GPU competition. There are mainly two reasons.

1) This year, Intel, TSMC, and Samsung announced their latest factories' yields. Intel was the earliest, with 18A, while Samsung was the most recent. TSMC yieled above 60%, Intel below 60%, and Samsung around 50% (but Samsung's tech is basically a generation ahead and technically more precise), and Samsung could improve their yields the most due to the way set up the processes, where 70% is the target. Until last year, Samsung was in the second place, and with the idea that Intel caught up so fast and taking Samsung's position at least for this year, Nvidia bought Intel's stock since it's been getting cheaper since COVID.

2) It's just generally good to diversify into your competitors. Every company does this, especially when the price is cheap.

Looking good!

techsystems··on Qwen3-Next
How does the context length scaling at 256K tokens compare to Llama's 1M in terms of performance? How are the contexts treated differently?
techsystems··on Stop selling “unlimited”, when you mean “until we change our minds”
Unlimited plans are generally grandfathered. I don't know if I came across any company that didn't honour and grandfather the unlimited.
techsystems··on Ask HN: Who's using AI to build non-AI products?
Not answering your question or building anything, but what your'e making sounds like what I'm looking for!
techsystems··on Ask HN: What's the 2025 stack for a self-hosted photo library with local AI?
