MeteorMarc··on Munich 1991: The Roots of the Current AI Boom
Also see Schmidhuber's take on the Hinton + Hopfield Nobel prize: https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/physics-nobel-2024-plagiari...
MeteorMarc··on Banned Book Library in a Wi-Fi Smart Light Bulb
Nice example how far you can come with little initial knowledge, a clear goal, some passion and an inquisitive mind.
MeteorMarc··on Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
See the end of the article, after further research quantum gravity could be simulated on a quantum computer. The links between research on quantum computing and quantum gravity are fascinating anyway!
MeteorMarc··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
Could it be that CS attracts a different population of students in the current genAI era?
MeteorMarc··on They’re made out of weights
Fermat's principle is an outcome of constructive interference of waves. It works both for classical and quantummechanical descriptions. E.g. check https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/U...
MeteorMarc··on Storing sunlight in DNA-inspired molecules, released later as heat
It needs 300 nm UV light.
MeteorMarc··on Map of music
Interesting. Search bar does not work in Android duckduckgo browser.
MeteorMarc··on Mistral AI acquires Emmi AI
Nice, also note that ASML is a big investor in Mistral AI, which made the industrial AI ambitions already more credible. https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2025/asml-mistra...
MeteorMarc··on δ-mem: Efficient Online Memory for Large Language Models
On huggingface it was #3 paper of the day, which is neutral towards your hypothesis.
MeteorMarc··on Teaching Claude Why
Count the lessons below "We’ve learned four main lessons from this work:" and laugh.
MeteorMarc··on Embedded Rust or C firmware? Lessons from an industrial microcontroller use case
Nice to see serial comms supported. Are I2S and CAN on the roadmap? Do you see any sensor module suppliers support ArielOS?
MeteorMarc··on Statecharts: hierarchical state machines
The title contains hierarchical, which does not come back in the post. You probably need hierarchy, otherwise state charts become unweildingly large.
MeteorMarc··on Acetaminophen vs. ibuprofen
If you have serious pain, you probably need both of them.
MeteorMarc··on NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers
Where is the source? Tantalo does not produce photons, it is not like GaAs that you can pump and get stimulated emission. The Nature paper does not have laser in the title.
MeteorMarc··on NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers
Title is misleading. This is about integrated optics that can do "computation" on the frequency of laser input using all kinds of nonlinear optical effects.
MeteorMarc··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
Interesting, qwen has the pelican driving on the left lane. Coincidence or has it something to do with the workers providing the RL data?
MeteorMarc··on Why It's So Hard to Fix an Electric Bike
"Hardt has torn tendons in his own hand after accidentally triggering a cadence sensor that caused the wheel to spin out of control on the stand, even when the motor and battery were disconnected." Can anyone explain how this is possible?
MeteorMarc··on We found an undocumented bug in the Apollo 11 guidance computer code
Are there any consequences for the Artemis 2 mission (ironic)?
MeteorMarc··on Some Unusual Trees
Are you sure the Madagascar traveller's tree is not a camouflaged mobile network antenna?
MeteorMarc··on NHS staff refusing to use FDP over Palantir ethical concerns
It seems a bad idea in the first place for a public organization to award a single company a huge contract for both the software licences and all the consultancy and implementation efforts.
MeteorMarc··on How Block is replacing middle management with an AI "world model"
Maybe you can disrupt some markets, but do not expect a strong position in the value chain if you depend on external AI providers that can extract all gained wisdom from your calls and have more execution power.
MeteorMarc··on Can a mouse be cloned indefinitely?
So, this proves that cloning induced defects do no grow exponentially. Any small defect rate would grow enormous after 58 steps. Accidentally, 58 is close to the myth with the double number of grains on a chessboard.
MeteorMarc··on 2025 Turing award given for quantum information science
Really curious, not a critique: apart from the idea of the possibility of intrusion detection due to the quantum nature of the communication link, what is special about the protocol that is mentioned?
MeteorMarc··on Physicist Astrid Eichhorn is a leader in the field of asymptotic safety
Read on and see the retropredictions of top and bottom quark energies!
MeteorMarc··on Debian decides not to decide on AI-generated contributions
Did anyone say it is a risk? What if courts eventually decide that users of products of closed models have to pay some reasonable fee to the owners of the training data?
MeteorMarc··on Show HN: Eyot, A programming language where the GPU is just another thread
That is fun: it lends c-style block markers (curly braces) and python-style line separation (new lines). No objection.
MeteorMarc··on FLASH radiotherapy's bold approach to cancer treatment
Hopefully, this will turn out better than proton therapy, which held similar promises of improvement. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11506991/
MeteorMarc··on Show HN: PageAgent, A GUI agent that lives inside your web app
Confusing name because of the existence of pageant, the putty agent.
MeteorMarc··on I'm helping my dog vibe code games
Museum directors, this is a piece of art. Give this installation its place in history. I have certainly seen worse artifacts in your lots.
MeteorMarc··on Diode – Build, program, and simulate hardware
Give KiCad a try for drawing schematics. It is FOSS.
