Related and quite cool: Unifying fold left and fold right https://kirancodes.me/posts/log-unifying-folds.html

I have a quite badly displaced retina due to a detachment. I wonder if technology like this could be used in conjunction with mapping the distorted retina in order to obtain a correct perceived image.

I am very sad that there is no iPadOS for A12X iPads. That tablet is the first one to be clearly desktop-class, and would still be usable with Linux as a desktop. iPadOS 26 sadly has too many issues, and it would have deserved an upgrade to 27.

I think another problem is: vibecoded emulators (like this one seems to be?) are likely to be a stunt, a cool project, but will not be maintained. Upstreaming this to qemu requires at least some human effort, and it is not very likely to happen. So we are left with a cool trick.

I feel like instances of this kind of decision (also from your examples) fall into two groups: replacing names from colonization with local names, and... Second group name left as an exercise to the reader.

I am Italian, and we get quite pissed when the government issues executive orders (the head of state can't do it), although it happens relatively often. I live in France, and when the president resorted to using them it felt like he was threatening democracy.

The US mechanism seems the strongest of the three, and people have considered this a normal thing in a democracy long enough for this to happen.

Of course kudos to the author. But I am pretty sure that the availability of iMessage and notifications over Bluetooth starting from iOS 26.5 is a direct result of the EU’s policies for smartwatch interoperability, so… kudos to the EU as well!

There’s also the old work on owlink and opendrop https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop, which reimplement apple’s version of WiFi direct and use it to have a Linux implementation of AirDrop. I guess Continuity’s functionality are based on this as well.

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 similar). At the same time, mathematicians will be left with superintelligent machines solving the actual math for them, much like software engineers nowadays. This was unexpected, and unexpected at this scale up to a couple of months ago.

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 datur in classical logic. I’m not sure it’s a valid deduction in your trivalent logic.

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 revolve around assuming a fact, showing that it would lead to an absurd, and thus establishing that that fact can’t be the case: there is no rational equal to sqrt(2), there is no finite listing of all the primes. They are not using proof by contradiction at all, and on the contrary these proof are fully constructive: if one where to give us what they believe is a finite list of all the primes, the proofs gives us a method to construct a new prime.

Proof by contradiction, on the other side, deems that we derive a contradiction from the assumption that a statement does not hold. Then, by contradiction, we may state that is true because it is impossible for it to be false.

This is why it is rejected by the intuitionists and constructivists: there is no way to extract an explicit procedure from such a proof, since it only states that what can’t be false must me true.

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 iPhone 12. A lot of it can be attributed to ever increasing ram usage by web pages, but that doesn’t seem to be all.

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), however I like the build of my Kindle Oasis 2 too much.

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 more I heard this week, in a line of absurd practice possibly due to absurd regulations.

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 with an LLM agent, and here we have the answer

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's something they're not so fond of.

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 fact that Finder can't be treated like that is a real pain. I will focus on it essentially randomly, and it will disrupt my intended interaction.

I don't get the reasoning behind the zero-window cmd-tab interaction, but if it is there I guess that there's a reason behind it?

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 silent in the last couple of months? This work however is much older and doesn't seem to follow the same approach.

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? How did this reach the first page?

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 less natural to use it as a language to code other problems.

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 these schemes. In order for it not to be so, you need to believe in there being some other usage to a Bitcoin (indeed, there is more to your Nvidia stock than its counter value in USD).

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 lines of: guy explaining that his wife must vote as he wish (i.e. Trump); anti-abortion lady praising Musk; anything (good or bad) mentioning Musk. I am sure I am doing something wrong on my side and started falling to rage-bait, but I am equally sure I didn't initiate any interest in this kind of content.
