After about two years since the last beta, and only about a week after Haiku’s 25th birthday, Haiku R1/beta6 has been released! See “Release Notes” for the release notes, “Press contact”, for press inquiries … and “Get Haiku!” to skip all that and just download the release (or upgrade to it from an existing install.)
The writer shares their passion for miniatures and coffee, mentioning a new miniature cafe they've built with intricate details. They also discuss their love for specialty coffee, particularly pour-overs and Americanos, highlighting the importance of high-quality beans in creating an exceptional experience.
OpenAI's ChatGPT Work is a powerful tool that can access files and run programs on computers, offering features like model selection and restricted internet access. It differs from the standard ChatGPT in its capabilities, including the ability to launch a full Chrome instance and deploy websites using Cloudflare Workers.
NAT complicates peer-to-peer communication by hiding private IPs. Modern solutions like WebRTC use STUN, TURN, and ICE to bypass NAT limitations.
The Spacelab computer used a unique 2½D memory architecture that eliminated the need for an inhibit line, boosting performance. It had a high-density design with integrated circuits and was manufactured in 1980, near the end of core memory's reign.
Diffusion models are an alternative to autoregressive models for generating discrete data like text or code, offering advantages in controllability and speed. They work by iteratively refining a sequence of tokens, allowing for error correction and parallel generation.
The author created a NFC-enabled business card using an ATtiny816 microchip, 21 LEDs, and the NXP NTAG I2C Plus chip. The card can harvest power from nearby phones to display animations and show contact information via QR code or NFC link.
You can sort Git branches by various fields, including push and upstream locations, in addition to the default commit date. These extra fields provide more context about each branch's history and relationships.
Researchers are revisiting continuous diffusion models for language after a few years of relative dormancy, as discrete methods have gained popularity. Continuous diffusion models can represent uncertainty at the individual token level and offer a rich toolbox of sampling algorithms, but they may be less efficient than discrete methods.
The Berkeley International Office has paused international students' applications for Course Credit Curricular Practical Training due to a new US Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo. The office will resume processing Degree Requirement CPT as usual, but not Course Credit CPT until further notice.
This driver enables 2048-wide output on a SM750 board, with optional modes for ultrawide desktops and experimental features. The driver is available as a prebuilt package or can be built locally using DKMS.
The writer built a custom workbench using IKEA Kallax shelving units, MDF boards, and other materials to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture for their office. They successfully combined the practicality of a workbench with the look of living room furniture within their budget.
Relm4 makes developing beautiful cross-platform applications idiomatic, simple and fast and enables you to become productive in just a few hours. Relm4 provides an outstanding documentation in the form of a dedicated book and Rust docs.
The book "Racter" explores the possibility of a computer composing programming that enables it to generate prose on its own. The author created a program called Racter, which can conjugate verbs, print nouns in singular and plural forms, and remember noun genders.
Pedal-powered generators are often inefficient and unsustainable due to energy losses in batteries, motors, and other components, but they can still be useful for generating electricity in emergency situations or powering small devices. However, using pedal power to generate electricity is not as efficient as direct mechanical power transmission and may require additional energy inputs to ...
An emoji flipbook presentation by Alex Komoroske about how dysfunctional organizational dyanmics arise even when individuals are well-behaved
Jim Trageser shares his childhood memories of growing up with a tech-savvy dad who built and customized various computer systems, including a kit computer, videogame consoles, and even rewired industrial controllers to work on Atari machines.
Startup anti-patterns are common processes or patterns that increase startup risks despite initially appearing effective. Studying these patterns can help entrepreneurs and investors identify potential pitfalls to avoid in their own startups.
A user discussed the Excel column labeling system and its resemblance to base 26, but with no zero. They considered how to distinguish between base 5 and bijective base 5 if only five symbols were used as digits.
A new Qubes security bulletin (QSB) has been published to address a Dom0 arbitrary code execution vulnerability. Users must verify the authenticity of the QSB by importing and authenticating its PGP signature.
Researchers developed a methodology to calculate the longest distance one can sail or drive without hitting land using the branch-and-bound algorithm, considering fractal coastlines and bodies of water. The approach aims to optimize paths around islands and lakes.
