• Beating GPT-5.6 Sol on retrieval with 100x cheaper open models

  Castform founder here. It uses lakebases's native bm25 and vector search and fuses the results using rrf (https://medium.com/@devalshah1619/mathematical-intuition-behind-reciprocal-rank-fusion-rrf-explained-in-2-mins-002df0cc5e2a). - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• What's the largest software project AI can complete on its own?

  I've been doing a lot of experimenting with this with a c++ compiler project[0]. I definitely experienced a lot of challenges, but I do believe it is possible to end-up in a consistent space by putting in some very careful guardrails. I covered some of the things I learned in the follow on blog posts. My more recent runs have been producing better code after continuing to improve harnesses, tests, and prompts. New... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Google will expand age checks on Android worldwide till the end of the year

  >Viewing the continuance of our race as only the responsibility of parents is pathological. That seems to be a uniquely American pathology. Everywhere where else in the world, and in non-white American subcultures, the community is expected a hand in raising children. But many Americans consider it socialist and an attack on Christian values. See Hillary Clinton getting mocked for saying "it takes a village"[0] or... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• The Productivity Mirage

  I think the downvotes are for saying positive things about AI. HN doesn't like that ;) And yes, messing about with skills is the new messing around with setup. It's a rabbit hole.

• A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones

  This group’s approach of treating the devices as many weaker servers (basically a raspberry pi cluster) sounds like the most realistic way to reuse phone hardware at scale, especially with the backing of the actual hardware vendor. It’s a genuine shame how locked down iPhones are compared to even Android. Hypothetically you could run Linux inside UTM[0] but outside the EU Apple makes it intentionally difficult,... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• What About iOS? Or, How a $30 Android Phone Embarrasses a $1000 iPad

  UTM is a QEMU-based virtual machine app that can run full Linux distributions on iOS. Two versions exist:. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Show HN: What to Do with an Old iPad

  - Surprised UTM wasn't mentioned here. Depending on the version of iPad, you should be able to get UTM SE on it, which will let you run a virtualized operating system on it. https://getutm.app/ - There appear to be some jailbreaks too - iSH would let you install and run local linux packages. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Coding Without a Laptop – Two Weeks with AR Glasses and Linux on Android

  UTM runs virtual machines on iOS and has been around a while: https://getutm.app Issue is that Apple doesn’t allow apps to run JIT so if you want the JIT version of UTM, you need to sideload or Jailbreak. The non-JIT version is on the App Store. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
