Abh1Works··on A SAT Attack on Tarski's High School Algebra Problem
I thought SAT like the high school admissions test
Abh1Works··on St Lucie Nuclear Reactor Unit 1 manually shutdown, 3 control rods drop into core
this is really interesting
Abh1Works··on Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones
Cool work!
Abh1Works··on Stolen Buttons
HIs personal website is a treat to look at
Abh1Works··on India's first privately-developed rocket reaches orbit on debut launch
Other than whats publicly available, an interesting thought about this is how they were able to launch and create something within the highly corrupted political system. Every launch, stage and approval probably required sometype of bribe (even with the current governments focus on deep tech and scientific development)
Abh1Works··on India's first privately-developed rocket reaches orbit on debut launch
I think an important thing here is that the company is almost 8 years old. Which, is not old for a defense tech manufacturer, but does give them leeway to develop and test
Abh1Works··on Cognition Acquires Poke Creators, the Interaction Company
Really interesting when you start to think with how people will interact with AI in the coming months. A ton of devs in Berkeley are not interacting with claude through the iMessage extension, just because it's so easy. And they trust claude does a good job of understanding the message and implementing whatever they need
Abh1Works··on How much energy do data centers and artificial intelligence use?
Something I havent heard alot of people talk about is meat. I dont think you can be against data centers, but also buy cheap meat. I understand food != compute, and thats a fact. BUT the same people who are protesting against AI data centers are the same people who fly every year, eat steak in every other dinner, and generally indulge in activities that are bad for the planet (and theres no acknowledgement).
Abh1Works··on Claude Science
lebovic answered this, but it isnt just claude cowork especially with connection and abilities related to SPC clusters. I could defientiyle see my former team at a national lab integrating this with their systems, and forgoing the use of Claude Code all together
Abh1Works··on I built a ceiling projection mapping of the planes flying over my house
Do you remember the name? Would love to visit it
Abh1Works··on Americans don't know how to fight AI so they're fighting data centers
Fair point, but you dont produce intelligence, competence and social trust. Essentially a society earns it.

Is the reason that competence and social trust are declining because of AI? Maybe, but not only that.

Abh1Works··on That Methyl Methacrylate Tank
vague post
Abh1Works··on Peter Salus has died
RIP a goat
Abh1Works··on What the OpenAI Agent Phone might feel like
This is amazing, I really need to make something like this personally.

Such an interesting understanding of human machine interaction, and what I presume frontend engineers try to understand on a daily basis

Abh1Works··on Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical Magnifica humanitas to be published May 25
Can someone explain to me what encyclical is, and what is it significance in the history of the Catholic Church?
Abh1Works··on We can’t send mail farther than 500 miles (2002)
I can say that a new user (me) did learn the classic (this).
Abh1Works··on Explosions reported in Venezuelan capital Caracas
False, at the minimum
Abh1Works··on The rise of industrial software
But I think the important part of this is the reach that the Industrial Revolution had. Consumer facing software, or the endusers who were able to "benefit" from the Industrial Revolution, and individual needs for all of these mass produced goods.

The important thing is that goods =/= software. I, as an end user, of software rarely need specialized software. I dont need an entire app generated on the spot to split the bill and remember the difference if I have the calculator.

So, yes, we are industrializing software, but this reach that people talk about (I believe) will be severely limited.

Abh1Works··on OpenAI's cash burn will be one of the big bubble questions of 2026
I think I super important aspect that people are overlooking, is that every VC wants to invest in the next "big" AI company, and the probability is in your favor to only give funding to AI companies, bc any one of them could be the next big thing. I think, with a downturn of VC investment, we will see some more investment in companies that arent AI native, but use AI as a tool in the toolbox to deliver insights.
Abh1Works··on What an unprocessed photo looks like
Why is the native picture (fig 1) in grayscale? or more generally why is black and white the default of signal processing? Is it just because black and white are two opposites that can be easily discerned?
