teabee89··on Launch HN: Magnitude (YC S25) – Self-optimizing inference engine for agents
How does this compare to ZML's llmd https://zml.ai/llmd/ ?
teabee89··on TigerBeetle Core System Architecture: Deconstructing Performance Engineering
"By [...] utilizing a single-threaded execution loop, TigerBeetle aligns its software architecture perfectly with the physical realities of modern hardware."

Can someone explain why single-threaded execution loop is more aligned with the physical realities of modern hardware ?

teabee89··on Go 1.27
I love how proactive the crypto team is about post quantum. They released https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/mldsa. The lead maintainer Filippo Valsorda wrote a nice piece here[1] to urge the tech world to start deploying good enough versions of post quantum crypto.

teabee89··on Mistral's Robostral Navigate: a state of the art robotics navigation model
I love the tongue-in-cheek whiteboard mentioning Le Chaton Fat / Le Gros Chaton :)
teabee89··on Half-Life 2 in a Browser
And Duke Nukem 3D made by my friend Gawen: https://gawen.me/webduke
teabee89··on I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling
Derek Muller from the Veritasium channel gave a great (and funny) talk[1] about how AI will not revolutionize education and I'll quote my favorite part: "The world is full of heavy objects; yet not everyone is ripped". Meaning that what fails with AI in education is also what fails in education without AI: lack of motivation that a good coach could provide. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xS68sl2D70
teabee89··on Zig ELF Linker Improvements Devlog
This is the promise that blew my mind the first time I heard about Zig years ago. So happy to see this become reality!
teabee89··on Zig: Build System Reworked
Somebody should revive the zig version of bun and call it banh as in the vietnamese banh mi sandwich :)
teabee89··on OpenAI ChatKit
> framework-agnostic

Later,

> 2. Install the React bindings

So not so framework-agnostic, or am I missing something ?

teabee89··on Diff Algorithms
A while ago I discovered the lesser known Tichy diff algorithm that seems to preserve more context and is better suited for big code refactors compared to Myers: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220439403_The_Strin... via https://bryanpendleton.blogspot.com/2010/04/more-study-of-di...
teabee89··on Facts don't change minds, structure does
Reminds me of the Galileo podcast series in the Opinionated History of Mathematics by Viktor Blasjo: https://intellectualmathematics.com/opinionated-history-of-m...
teabee89··on Deciphering language processing in the human brain through LLM representations
Did they try to predict a person's thoughts ? That would be more compelling to me than 500ms delay between the model prediction and the spoken word.
teabee89··on Landrun: Sandbox any Linux process using Landlock, no root or containers
Nice work! Too bad it's GPL v2 :(
teabee89··on Vine: A programming language based on Interaction Nets
About the inverse feature: it is not clear to me how code using it evaluates and how much faster it is. But I find it confusing when reading the sub_min[1] function and reminds me how much I value readability. I'm not convinced that feature should be exposed just because interaction nets allow you to flow time backwards. Better free parallelism is already a great improvement!

What are the differences with HVM?
teabee89··on Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
Collatz conjecture

teabee89··on Freetar – an alternative front end for ultimate-guitar.com
I cannot thank you enough. This was so needed! I'm gonna use it, hoping it's not gonna get killed.
teabee89··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
Unless I am missing something, this must mean that Ilya voted Sam out and Greg down.
teabee89··on GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT
"Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users to try out including Canva and Zapier AI Actions." and yet as a paying ChatGPT Plus customer, neither the Canva nor the Zapier AI Actions link work for me, I get a "GPT inaccessible or not found" error for Canva or Zapier.
teabee89··on Tiny11 core, a Windows 11 mod that only requires 3GB of disk space
This will build tiny11, not tiny11 core.
teabee89··on Launch HN: Wondercraft (YC S22) – Use text-to-speech to create podcasts easily
What voice is used in the translated version? Is it somehow inferred from the voice in the original language? Or I just have to choose the voice in the target language?
teabee89··on EurKEY: The European Keyboard Layout – For Europeans, Coders and Translators
No ő, or ű for Hungarian. I personally use US International on Mac and I never looked back. It uses a system where you press Alt + a key for an accent, and then the letter to put the accent on.

teabee89··on Launch HN: Vocode (YC W23) – Library for voice conversation with LLMs
The phone demo is incredible, but due to sound quality, I find it is speaking too fast and when it's telling me company names I literally had to ask to repeat or spell it out in NATO alphabet. Also not a fan of the "what'up?", would prefer something like "Yes, how may I help you?" just like an information hotline. Other than that it's quite impressive!
teabee89··on Apple passwords deserve an app
I will tell my family to use iCloud Keychain the day when it works across all major browsers and OSes. Or at least that they provide an API to sync with other password managers.
teabee89··on Map of an Insect’s Brain
Numenta tries to do something like that: reverse engineer the neocortex (so not a fly's brain). It does have some insights but I think it's still a long way.
teabee89··on Monumental (if correct) advance in number theory posted to ArXiv by Yitang Zhang
I'm sure 3b1b will make an explanation video :)
teabee89··on Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor
Yes! I waited out the long `brew update` and now it works :)
teabee89··on Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor
"brew install helix" gives me:

> Warning: No available formula with the name "helix". Did you mean healpix, helib or helm?
