You guys know hardware is just a program running on the universe computer right

the original TurboQuant paper tested on A100 with models up to 8B. 6 days later, a bunch of strangers on the internet had it built and running on: - Apple Silicon M1 through M5 - NVIDIA 3080 Ti through DGX Spark Blackwell - AMD RX 6800 XT and 9070 - a 10-year-old Tesla P40 - an 8GB MacBook Air - models from 3.8B to 70B across 6 architecture families - 30 independent testers along the way we found new optimizations the paper didn't cover and failure modes it didn't test. the fact that a loose group of people across the world can read a paper, build implementations from scratch, stress-test across hardware none of us could individually afford, and push the research further in under a week is genuinely one of the best things about this era. the tools and the community make it possible. open source is something else.

Bad Apple but it's displacing its own lyrics with pretext

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Six years of The Only Thing They Fear Is You. 🔥 Shoutout to all the amazing people who have covered, jammed, joked, memed, remixed, recreated, reimagined, and celebrated it over the last six years who I couldn’t fit into the video. 🙌 Tag your favourites below 👇✨

That 26-year-old Steve Jobs energy was something else.

I quite like the new DeepSeek-OCR paper. It's a good OCR model (maybe a bit worse than dots), and yes data collection etc., but anyway it doesn't matter. The more interesting part for me (esp as a computer vision at heart who is temporarily masquerading as a natural language person) is whether pixels are better inputs to LLMs than text. Whether text tokens are wasteful and just terrible, at the input. Maybe it makes more sense that all inputs to LLMs should only ever be images. Even if you happen to have pure text input, maybe you'd prefer to render it and then feed that in: - more information compression (see paper) => shorter context windows, more efficiency - significantly more general information stream => not just text, but e.g. bold text, colored text, arbitrary images. - input can now be processed with bidirectional attention easily and as default, not autoregressive attention - a lot more powerful. - delete the tokenizer (at the input)!! I already ranted about how much I dislike the tokenizer. Tokenizers are ugly, separate, not end-to-end stage. It "imports" all the ugliness of Unicode, byte encodings, it inherits a lot of historical baggage, security/jailbreak risk (e.g. continuation bytes). It makes two characters that look identical to the eye look as two completely different tokens internally in the network. A smiling emoji looks like a weird token, not an... actual smiling face, pixels and all, and all the transfer learning that brings along. The tokenizer must go. OCR is just one of many useful vision -> text tasks. And text -> text tasks can be made to be vision ->text tasks. Not vice versa. So many the User message is images, but the decoder (the Assistant response) remains text. It's a lot less obvious how to output pixels realistically... or if you'd want to. Now I have to also fight the urge to side quest an image-input-only version of nanochat...

Plasma is better in colour! Watch one of our latest #plasma pulses in our ST40 tokamak, filmed using our new high-speed colour camera at an incredible 16,000 frames per second. Each pulse lasts around a fifth of a second. What you’re seeing is mostly visible light from the plasma’s edge, glowing pink. The core is simply too hot to emit visible light. In this footage, lithium is dropped into the plasma. As it interacts, it glows red when excited, then turns green as it becomes ionised, losing an electron. From there, it traces the magnetic field lines, revealing the plasma’s path around the tokamak. Lithium is the focus of our $52 million ST40 upgrade programme, in partnership with @ENERGY and @energygovuk. This builds on pioneering work at @PPPLab and others that has shown that lithium can significantly improve plasma performance. This video comes from ongoing research into X-point radiator (XPR) regimes, a promising operating mode for future #fusion power plants that aims to cool the plasma before it reaches plasma-facing components (PFCs), helping to reduce wear without compromising performance. Fusion research just got a lot more colourful! 👇 tokamakenergy.com/2025/10/15… #Fusion #FusionEnergy #EnergyTransition #Innovation

Here's my 4 hour conversation with Pavel Durov (@durov), founder and CEO of Telegram. This was one of the most fascinating and powerful conversations I've ever had in my life. We discuss everything from his philosophy on freedom to government bureaucracies, intelligence agencies, human nature, mathematics, encryption, great engineering & design, education, family, and his philosophy on life. It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment). It is translated and dubbed into Russian, Ukrainian, French, and Hindi.

The arm assembly implementation of @reactjs server components, fully compatible with the Node.js alternative, is ten times shorter than a single package-lock.json file. It's about a THOUSAND times less code than what's needed to run it in node.js. We've taken the wrong path.
