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: 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: 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

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: Clikr – Virtual laser pointer that follows where you point your phone

After installing the web extension and clicking its icon it shows a QR code that is scanned by a phone which opens the web app in the browser. When the WebRTC connection has been set up between the devices you can steer a dot on the computer web page by holding a button and pointing the phone. The app also has other presentation clicker features like switching slides, drawing, presenter notes, and can also be used for remote controlling some videos (tested on YouTube and Plex).Firefox extension:

Tell HN: Agent that control everyscreen beat human in clash royale

Hi HN!!I am developer of AutoCua ( automatic computer use agent).Its a computer use agent , that can automate. iphone, andriod, browser, coding task, computer use all at same time. Few days back i gave a task to play 3 games clash of clan, chess and clash royale with a single purpose get me a win.It did win in clash of clan, and clash royale going quite agressive.

Show HN: Vesputio – A Put.io Client for iOS and Android

I have created an app for put.io that is called Vesputio. I'm using Skip(https://skip.dev) to support iOS and Android with one codebase and it seems to work quite well so far.I would like for beta users for the Android app (because due to the recent changes on Google Play an app cannot move to production without at least 12 users using for 14 days) and any other put.io user on any supported platform (iOS, visionOS and Android). Your feedback is welcome and much needed.My plan is t

Scientists discover new way to control magnetic waves for future quantum technologies

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Ames National Laboratory have discovered a way to control the handedness of magnons, tiny magnetic waves that can carry information through materials. By changing the material's magnetic state with an external magnetic field, they were able to switch magnon behavior, a finding with potential applications in quantum information and quantum computing technologies. Their findings are published in Physical Review Letters.

Classical–quantum light interactions could make complex quantum behavior easier to simulate

An international collaboration demonstrates that classical nonlinear dynamics can drive single- and two-photon states to thermalize, opening new avenues for simulating complex quantum many-body systems within accessible optical architectures.

AI Agents Ran a Biology Lab. Humans Popped in to Empty the Trash.

“Self-driving” labs could free scientists to analyze results, refine hypotheses, and brainstorm ideas. “Write ‘Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change’ into DNA.” With that one prompt, the AI lab got to work. One agent scoured scientific literature to devise a workflow. Another translated it into code to control robotic arms. Still more agents guided robots to transfer tiny amounts of reagents and operate DNA synthesis and sequencing machines.In around 200 hours, the unusual l

Repeatable laser measurements reveal 'forbidden' vibrations in single molecules without destroying them

The possibility of controlling "forbidden" excitations of vibrations in molecules could form the basis of extremely accurate clocks, quantum bits and precise tests of the fundamental laws of physics. Researchers at the University of Basel have now identified and controlled such "forbidden" transitions in single isolated nitrogen molecules without destroying them.

Laser-driven magnetic state defies equilibrium rules

Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and their collaborators used lasers and neutrons to observe a long-lived quantum state in a magnetic material, opening a new way to study materials systems driven far from their equilibrium. Manipulation of quantum magnets is important for advancing quantum information science and could reduce loss of transported information, improve memory devices and benefit other quantum technologies.
