Rust SIMD on the GPU

๐Ÿš€ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: At VectorWare, we are building the first GPU-native software company. Today, we are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's portable SIMD (core::simd) on the GPU. This milestone marks a significant step towards our vision of enabling developers to write complex, high-performance applications that leverage the full power of GPU hardware using familiar Rust abstractions. Parallelism below the thread When we brought Rust threads to the GPU, we mapped each std::thread to a GPU warp. This let us run many concurrent threads on…

Learning more about Claude’s mathematical capabilities \ Anthropic

๐Ÿš€ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Recently, a member of staff at Anthropic gave Claude an unreasonable challenge. It was about one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics: Take a real stab at the Riemann hypothesis.Claude did take a real stab, but as you might have expected if youโ€™re familiar with the difficulty of the task (the Riemann hypothesis dates back to 1859 and has a million-dollar bounty), it didnโ€™t succeed. Nevertheless, during its attempt, it unexpectedly made strides on a related problem.An unreleased research version of Claude has…

xoreaxeaxeax/smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii: A very very very very very very very long interrupt ยท GitHub

โœจ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Exploiting System Management Mode with a very very very very very very very long interrupt. It turns out that you can break SMM โ€” the secure, ultra privileged execution environment running invisibly in the background of every x86 CPU โ€” with nothing more than an obscenely long-running machine instruction. SMM requires that all cores are either in SMM or out of SMM at the same time. Its security model doesn't work without this - when one thread enters SMM, it makes all the others enter…

๐Ÿ’ฅ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I reported this on January 28th, 2026. It is now July 2026. Six months later. The Firestore database is still wide open. The CTO never responded. I guess my emails were too long and they didn't view them. What is tl;dv? tl;dv (Too Long; Didn't View) is an AI meeting recording platform. It drops a bot into your Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams call, records everything, transcribes it, and generates summaries with AI. Over 2 million users. Backed by investors.

Defending my own brain against enshittification โ€“ Mr. Market

โœจ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: 10 Aug, 2026 If you haven't had Belvita breakfast cookies, you have probably had Biscoff cookies, which are similar. These are a classic airline snack. You've probably had one along with a Coke with ice in a plastic cup, and thought to yourself, 'these cookies suck.' That is a fair assessment. I'm not talking about Biscoff, though. Those are Belvita breakfast cookie's sweeter counterpart. I'm talking about Belvita because they are more subtle in flavor, less texturally satisfying, and thinner/more brittle. I mentioned in…

Tail-call optimization in C is relatively recent [LWN.net]

๐Ÿ”ฅ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Tail-call optimization in C is relatively recent Posted Aug 21, 2025 22:11 UTC (Thu) by anton (subscriber, #25547)Parent article: Python, tail calls, and performance Actually tail calls in C have not been around forever. The C calling convention has been that the callee does not remove any stuff the caller has put on the stack. The caller could see the declaration int f();, the actual call could have n>0 arguments, and the actual function could have m≤n parameters. That would not always work if the…

Introducing Muse Glimmer: An Open Agentic Model That Runs on Your Device

Introducing Muse Glimmer: An Open Agentic Model That Runs on Your Device

๐Ÿ’ฅ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Today, we're introducing Museย Glimmer, the next model from Metaย Superintelligenceย Labs, and open sourcing the model weights under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. Museย Glimmer is a 30-billion-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows. Itโ€™s small enough to run on a Mac or PC with a single consumer GPU, enabling use cases that range from local agents and function calling, to local coding, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation. Museย Glimmer delivers strong performance on key agentic use cases and benchmarks compared with leading models in its size category. Foundation models…
