It sounds to me like something HP was betting on a while ago: Memristors[1].

Afaik, it never went anywhere, but I thought the ideas were pretty remarkable at the time.

Or Qwen 3.8 27B, AA score 52 (which is utterly insane given the size of this model); I have been testing Qwen 3.8 27B since a week now, as an intensive GLM-5.2 and Opus 5 user - I can say that I just can't believe my eyes i.r.t. to how good this model is.

I would struggle to ascertain the day-to-day difference between GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 tbh. Also, imho, Fable is highly hyped, I don't think it is dramatically better than Opus 4.8. Maybe my tasks and interaction with AI is relatively simple (i.e., lots of Rust programming, Linux system engineering stuff).

Oh thanks for that link, I didn't know about it, pre-ordered!

What happened to tidal-dl-ng?

https://github.com/exislow/tidal-dl-ng seems to be gone. It's a tidal media backup utility; This is since a few hours, so very recent; anyone know what happened? Even the user account seems to be gone..

This is great! I just made an AUR package for it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mistral-vibe
100% with you, but I don't think the presidential whims were the instigator for all this madness. That could be a Howard Lutnick:

Re:I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D on Monday September 08, 2025 @04:58AM (#45166063)
I run a 13900T unlocked (meaning, it runs 35W TDP at idle, 1.1ghz, but is allowed to peak to 210W for up to a minute, with the hugest Noctua D14something I could fit on it). It runs at ~29c idle, peaks to 80ish celsius at 210W (~4.5ghz over all cores - songle core peaking to 5.3ghz).

For a time I ran it 24/7 without suspend. It's a big system, lots of disks, expansion cards, etc. If it doesn't suspend, and doesn't do anything remarkable, it uses about ~5kWh per day. Needless to say, it suspends after 60 minutes now (my daily energy usage went from ~9 to ~4 kWh).

He unilaterally changed the license and claims he rewrote the GPL parts: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/playstation-1-emulator...
The relevant cmake file does this btw:

    if($ENV{DEBUGINFOD_URLS} MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")
      message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported environment.")
This is a repost with a better target url, previous submission here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44727438
dang: could you rewrite/change the url? I think the commit link I shared is a better target for this.
The line link failed. It's line 38:

"Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages, and I'm sick of dealing with people complaining about things broken by packagers. This is why we can't have nice things."

    if($ENV{DEBUGINFOD_URLS} MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")
        message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported environment.")
    endif()

Hey, I just wanted to congratulate you with a very impressive release, the software looks amazing, and I think I will give it a try pretty soon. A question: I see only subscription pricing; is a lifetime licence possible, or a licence like the way jetbrains does it (you pay for version, and maintain the right to keep using the version that was available when the license/subscrition expires, you can re-activate any time).

I'm particularly interested in this "field". I've build something similar many moons ago [1], in the same spirit, but much more primitive. I later started a company around an evolved idea, where the structure you sort of see in your screenshots is effectively a DAG with arbitrary depth (we didn't manage to release it unfortunately, complexity overtook us).

In any case, much congratulations + good luck with the launch!

Re:Open Source on its own is no alternative to Big Tech on Sunday October 27, 2024 @09:10AM (#41962375)
Actually yes; SuSE sells support [1] for RHEL, Ubuntu LTS, and SuSE itself). Quotes: "SUSE Liberty Linux consolidates support for your entire Linux environment, including CentOS, RHEL and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) distributions" and "Our world-class support team is trained to assist your entire mixed Linux estate — not just SUSE solutions."

Re:AMD Unveils Ryzen 9000 CPUs for Desktop, Zen 5 on Monday June 03, 2024 @05:00AM (#40560627)
Would that be comparing to Windows on Zen4 or to Linux on Zen4? On Windows I've noted that especially forking performance takes a big hit which causes many dynamic languages that do stuff with say invoking a runtime binary being 100s of times slower on windows (tried with bash and python).
