๐Ÿš€ Discover this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: prefeitura-rio/Rio-3.5-Open-397B is presented as an original 397B model trained by IplanRIO. It is not. Its weights are a direct element-wise merge of our model, Nex, with the official Qwen3.5-397B-A17B base โ€” about 0.6 Nex / 0.4 Qwen โ€” and we find no evidence of any training of their own. We can show this two completely independent ways: With Rio's hard-coded "You are Rio" system prompt removed, its own deployed model identifies itself as "Nex, from Nex-AGI" 79% of the time โ€” and as "Rio" 0%…

SpaceX, Adding It Up โ€” The $235 Billion Cash Gap

SpaceX, Adding It Up โ€” The $235 Billion Cash Gap

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: SpaceX disclosed, across the S-1 and adjacent regulatory filings, cash commitments of approximately $235 billion through 2030. The IPO will raise $50 to $75 billion gross. The first $20 billion is contractually committed to debt repayment within six months of closing. The gap is three to five times the raise on items disclosed in the document. Each commitment is correct within its own filing. None are aggregated. The set is not coherent. The question the S-1 does not answer, and that no single forward-looking section…

How did Atari apply side art to Arcade Cabinets? โ€“ The Arcade Blogger

๐Ÿš€ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: One of the most fascinating sequences in Atariโ€™s arcade manufacturing process in the early 80s, was the application of the fabulous artwork that adorned all of its cabinets from the golden age of arcade gaming. So this week, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how this cabinet artwork was actually printed. The technique used is called screen printing (often called silkscreen printing), and itโ€™s a world away from the large-format digital printers used today. Letโ€™s take a look at the…

Building a serial and VGA “everything console”

๐Ÿ’ฅ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Some of our recent (and some upcoming) projects are oriented to systems with serial consoles, but it's been getting pretty old dragging around old CRT terminals or tying up Mac laptops with a serial port. I'd like something that's self-contained, a little more portable and a bit less heavy. I'm sure there's any number of all-in-one setups you can buy to do this, but I'm cheap, so I'm going to DIY it. We'll start with this used, slightly abused IBM 1U console that I got…

Consciousness likely not unique to earthlings, paper says | UCR News

๐Ÿ’ฅ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Does consciousness depend on flesh and blood? The answer is almost certainly no, according to Eric Schwitzgebel, a distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of California, Riverside. In a new working paper, Schwitzgebel and Jeremy Pober, a former UCR graduate student who is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon, assert that consciousness is likely possible in life forms made of much different stuff. Think of the five-limbed alien with a rock-like exterior in the recent blockbuster movie โ€œProject Hail Mary.โ€…
