• GLM5.2 on AMD MI355X at 2626 tok/s/node at over 2x lower cost than Blackwell

  Not a new phenomena - performance per dollar has been fairly steadily exponentialling since 1900 or so 1900 - 2010 https://www.thekurzweillibrary.com/exponential-growth-of-computing 1939 - 2023 https://medium.com/@timventura/kurzweils-law-for-the-ai-age-b00e82c84d5c. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• The Egg Bandits Made a Thousand Times the Fine They Just Paid for Price Fixing

  QB House and its many imitators would like a word. It's a genuine mystery to me why these "fast haircut" chains are ubiquitous in Asia but unknown in the West. https://medium.com/@justin.tan/qb-house-back-to-basics-business-model-innovation-in-the-mens-haircutting-industry-c23893095e13. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Fable 5 Is Back

  It has. We can see 3.5 started with text adventure games https://medium.com/@duncanariey/using-chatgpt-to-make-the-ittiest-bittiest-text-based-adventure-game-f642e8da4dad and with 4.0 it moved up to pong https://x.com/skirano/status/1635736107949195278 As the generations increase, so too has the complexity of the games it can one-shot. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• RebrickNet – Lego Part Detector

  I tried to do brick sorting (because we have great detection and classification models at https://brickit.app/) It turned out to be much more complex than I expected.

• Download Instructions for More Than 6,800 Lego Kits at the Internet Archive

  Not really a sorter, but https://brickit.app/ was mentioned on HN a while back, and does AI-based lego identification.

  There is a app for that too, which works off of a photo of your parts: https://brickit.app/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Help for a mom who is new to Lego
