Really? It's better than Opus 4.8, that's the point. When they release new versions of Sonnet, no-one expects them to be better than Opus.

LIN bus isn't masterless though, if I recall correctly. That's the nice thing about CAN: every node is equal, and every node can send a message whenever it wants. As far as I know,…

I really, really wish that CAN had caught on more for sensor networks in the hobbyist community. It's so much nicer than I2C in so many regards: much longer range, masterless (any …

> HuggingFace got hacked by an AI. What stuck out to me was the guardrail asymmetry. The attacker had no constraints, but HF's response ran afoul of the abuse guardrails, forcing t…

I just had this happen today. It was indeed a segfault. From what I could tell it looked like it was in JS code that had been JIT compiled. I haven't attempted to troubleshoot furt…

Please read the article. This post is over a month and a half old.

Lot of armchair quarterbacking going on, on both sides. I'd love to hear an actual farmer weigh in on this. Anyone in the room care to volunteer?

At least AES membership gets you free access to all of their standards, which is more than can be said for IEEE. Source: I'm a card-carrying AES member.

There's a Wikipedia page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-animal_inheritance_puzzle You are correct that it's not solvable in a rigorous mathematical sense as stated.

Oh! You did. I just saw the two in adjacent sentences and assumed you were referring to the Netflix CEO and had mixed up his name. Nothing to see here, move along...

They didn't say that HN is turning into Reddit, they said that the conversation quality has gone to shit. I don't agree with that statement universally, but I have to say I do when…

Which of course pays off precisely because doing the easiest thing cheaply is usually hard. As someone once said: any fool can do for $2 what it takes an engineer to do for $1.

> it will also make it more difficult to identify who to invite to join the priesthood The point that this announcement is trying to make is, of course, that AI has already made th…

Same. It's not a good look to have happen right when they roll out a new model.

That's why nextpnr exists :) https://github.com/YosysHQ/nextpnr As someone actively working on nextpnr support for a fairly new FPGA architecture, it really is amazing that we have…

Fun story: I used to own a Prius, and it turns out they expose the speeds and torque values of MG1, MG2, and the engine independently on the OBDII port. What this means it that you…

No, it's usually because it finds sources that I would not have even thought to search for in the first place. Agentic AI has its faults, but one thing I've found it to be very goo…

Because it finds the sources much quicker than I would have been able to on my own, and I can then synthesize them into data I know is correct, as correct as any human-generated da…

Exactly. Back when I worked at Google there was an internal page someone put up that denoted what they called "the YX problem": the observation that the XY problem, applied to a su…

Oh for god's sake. In the 99% of cases where this status page is used, it is in fact the truth: we'd throw it up when we had e.g. data migrations to do as part of a rollout that wo…

The "scheduled maintenance" thing is likely just because that's the easiest maintenance page to throw up site wide, or at least it was back when I was on the Canvas deploy rotation…
