MIT engineers develop a magnetic transistor for more energy-efficient electronics

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it’s a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has fundamental physical limits that restrict how compact and energy-efficient a transistor can be.MIT researchers have now replaced silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, creating a magnetic transistor that could enable smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient circuits. The material’s magnetism strongly

Show HN: A clean-room Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge engine remake (Rust,wgpu,WASM)

Hi everyone, I have been working on this for some time. It still has some bugs but I find it quite playable. The lack of remastered Red Alert 2 had been bothering me, that and other remakes I've seen done by Opus motivated me to start this project. This is clean-room in the sense that the speccer agent never communicated with the implementer and there was a scrubber in the middle. Please let me know what you think.

Show HN: Pots – Open-source Grok Bot alternative, used by 6 startups for a month

Hi HN, I'm Crokily. Pots is an AI coworker that lives in the chat your team already uses: Slack, Discord, Telegram, or any channel with a Chat SDK adapter. It is MIT-licensed and runs on a machine you give it, with the model you choose.To be honest, the first time I used Grok Bot, its design really impressed me. Unlike OpenClaw before it, it was not just Claude Code connected to a chat app. It truly cared about how it works with people. It felt like a living AI assistant, and working with i

Huawei unveils 'SuperCluster' architecture designed to make 1 million AI chips work as a single computer

Engineers in China have built a new computer architecture they say can one day make up to a million artificial intelligence (AI) chips work as one. For comparison, Elon Musk's AI company, SpaceXAI (soon to be SpaceXSI), describes its Colossus cluster as the world's most powerful AI training system, comprising 200,000 interconnected chips.Traditionally, the AI chips used to train foundation models are housed in separate servers and communicate over a network to share d

The Future Transformed by Photonic Quantum Computers: Dramatic AI Evolution Through Ultra-High Speed and Ultra-Energy Efficiency [Viewpoint/Point of View Viewing Notes]

In recent years, we have had more opportunities to hear the term "quantum computer" in contexts such as government growth strategies and Nobel Prize discussions. While it is anticipated as a next-generation technology that will break the limits of conventional computers, the "photonic quantum co

'After AI, quantum computers are coming.' Have you ever heard that rumor?'Quantum computers' have recently been gradually becoming a hot topic in the stock market and news. The name sounds difficult, and you might think, 'Isn't that just sci-fi technology from a movie?'However, top companies rep

Diraq deploys world's first silicon spin quantum computer inside a commercial data center

As quantum moves closer to real-world use, new modelling puts numbers around quantum computing's future potential, including 50% more potentially lifesaving medicines reaching US patients - the equivalent of 25 more each year

7.1 Million Bitcoin Sit in Wallets a Quantum Computer Could One Day Crack. Is Yours One of Them?

Glassnode says 7.1 million Bitcoin have public keys a quantum computer could target. Here's which coins are exposed and why.

Astronomers discover hidden alien planet in James Webb images

A breakthrough in telescope imaging could reveal countless alien worlds that have been hiding in plain sight. Scientists developed a new technique that uses a digital twin of the James Webb Space Telescope to remove the overwhelming glare of stars, making faint exoplanets two to 15 times easier to detect than with conventional methods. The technology has already uncovered a previously hidden planet in existing telescope data and could reveal many more.

Gravity can reconnect like the sun's magnetic field, a fresh look at Einstein's equations reveals

Magnetic reconnection — the process behind the sun's most violent outbursts — may have a counterpart in gravity. According to a new theoretical study, sheet-like structures in the gravitational field can break apart and reconnect in new arrangements, much like the magnetic field lines that unleash solar flares.Built entirely on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, the study spells out when this "gravitational reconnection" can happen. It also offers a way t

Show HN: You can now train your own LLMs with less memory, on your consumer GPUs

*TL;DR: You can train your own 27B model on a 3090 with 24GB VRAM, though you would have to go through hundreds of billions of tokens for it to be good. I am working on conversion of existing models. Check repos for code and the paper if you are interested in more. I have a 40.4GB Qwen Flash* N*ext GGUF*Hi, I do AI research. I have been working on an optimizer that doesn't need the \~16 bytes of VRAM per weight to train a model that AdamW does. I focused on training ternary networks bcs Bit

Tell HN: Made my first sale as a first time founder

Hey folks I’m really happy today, I made my first sale of the product I have been building at veludocs.com . I had quit my job a year and half ago, and have been dabbling with several ideas and locked in with this product. I have been a long time lurker at this forum. I come from a family background that has “salary man” attitude, and risk taking is unheard of. I do not know if this would take off, but the feeling that a stranger chose to pay for what I built for is out of the world.

Ask HN: What other tools similar to Alibaba OCR do people use with LLMs?

I'm asking the question focusing specifically on what I could use/download/configure right now, not necessarily on any custom written harness you might be using which isn't shared and fits your specific workflow.I have been finding Alibaba's OCR (https://github.com/alibaba/open-code-review) very useful and getting good results as part of my own automated flow and at work. However, apart from this project, I haven't found anything else out there t

Show HN: Usul – Express neural networks as raw math in C++23

SO, Usul-cpp is a library I've written in C++, it is based around allowing data scientists to create their models without heavy libraries such as tensorflow, and just express their models using maths, and Usul will handle the rest. There is builtin tensor support, auto-grad, back-prop and its quite fast.I wrote it because, it seemed less mystifying to read maths instead of a random class that supposedly does something. I wrote it from scratch in cpp (23) due to the fact that I wanted to emp

Show HN: AI Vision Index, private tests of how well 36 AI models see

I wanted to know for my work which model is best at vision tasks (using both llms like claude and smaller models like YOLO - smaller specialist models are still not finished testing). I found that none of the public benchmarks were reliable: datasets were available (so they could have been used for training), and not precise enough tests.So we built our own tests, with a mix of rendered images, ai generated images, photos and videos. Every question & image pair has a specific answer, and we

Show HN: A media server designed to be hosted on a VPS [more in the text]

I've been working on this project for the last 2 years, this is the second iteration and this iteration was designed with the intent of being deployed into a VPS.Let's walk backwards from the worst case to the realistic case.1a. The absolute worst case, someone takes a memory dump of your VPS, well you are screwed if something fishy is going on they will find about it.1b. Someone mounts the .qcow2 image and inspects your VPS like if its a docker image without leaving any trace, also in
