Andrej Bauer and others are working on a kind of similar infrastructure, and developing a dedicated query language: https://math.andrej.com/2026/07/11/making-ai-smarter-with-ai...

Your observation is perfectly on point, I think the season of companies announcing breakthroughs might be over soon (unless they somehow manage a major achievement, P vs NP or simi…

I am getting 404 right now

Neither of the two. A proof by contradiction, as other comments have stated, is: assuming not P1, we reach a contradiction; thus P1 must be true. This is equivalent to tertium non …

This document misses the point in a way that very commonly arises when mathematicians (as opposed to logicians) discuss proof by contradiction. The examples in this document all re…

Do you think there will still be an incentive to release weights in that scenario? Everyone will have models only if there continue to be companies releasing weights.

I remember trying an iPhone 12 in 2020 and feeling it was so fast that no phone task would ever be able to use all that power. Definitely not my current experience on my now old iP…

Same for me! It took me a while staring at the article and wondering why "browser" was mentioned so many times, to realize it was not Android

That's what I was thinking, but the phrasing seems to imply that he did update to 26.4.1? Not sure how that was possible.

This setup feels cumbersome, since you also have to manually track which items you have read. Kobo seems to offer better features in this sense (better than a jail broken kindle), …

As an Italian living in another EU country, I always thought that the amount of (broken) bureaucracy of Italy was not particularly worse. However this story comes after a couple mo…

Just a couple of hours ago I was thinking about this project from some time ago doing the same thing: https://github.com/evmar/retrowin32 I wondered how much of this could be done …

Funnily enough, when programming with agents in statically typed languages I always find myself in need of reminding the agent to check for type errors from the LSP. Seems like it'…

This is a viewpoint commonly held by students who were exposed to imperative programming before having any class in maths. However it shouldn't survive long after that.

I just moved to macOS for the first time, and my only way to adapt to its multi-tasking has been keeping exactly one window per open application, never zero or more than one. The f…

By coincidence I was just having a look at the work by the same author on languages based on Interaction Nets. Incredibly cool work, although the main repos seem to have been silen…

I am very intrigued by this. It all seems AI generated. This same HN account posted another repo full of promises and which looks filled with AI generated stubs. What's going on? H…

Add to this that propositional logic (the language in which we express SAT) is a versatile language to code problems in. Finding cliques in a graph is also NP complete, but it is l…

I guess that might be it, but it's still very surprising to hear for people that were around the internet before or around the early 2000s

If one is to believe that there is no other usage for a Bitcoin besides having a digital ticket worth 60k+ USD, then those people selling those tickets would be organizing one of t…

This totally aligns with my personal experience. I am Italian, most of my "For you" tweets used to be in Italian. Recently a lot of US, pro-GOP content sneaked in; stuff along the …

That's really cool. Having spent most of my time in (european) academia, I wonder how this kind of research can be carried out outside of academic institutions.

Even though it was supposed to be "the last version of Windows". Is there an official reason for the change in strategy?

Partly related, I have issues with HDMI audio constantly breaking on a MacBook Air. I found multiple references to this issues around the web, but no solution.

WSL1 was what made me stick to Windows at the time, when I had a new laptop and didn't want to mess much with it. WSL2 was what convinced me to switch back to Linux, since I felt t…
