I wonder about the impact on our health of all the metals that will be present in the atmosphere after several months. For example, it is well known that lead in gasoline has increased crime.

> This would be like looking at the rise of programming and computers in the 80s and 90s and asking “what are computer programs doing? I don’t see any concrete benefits right now, must be a scam”

There were many people around me that said that in the 80s.

That consciousness is a biologically trait seems a common statement, but why "inherited"?

Ask HN: Analog Model of Transformers

JPLeRouzic — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:39:23 +0000

(Sorry if this a stupid question)

Roughly 80 years ago many computers used analog logic, for example an amplifier with variable resistors could multiply and divide.

The matrix multiplication seems to be central in Transformer architecture.

I wonder if it would make sense to create a sort of Transformer on a vaguely similar concept?

If you wonder why this question, after all there are still guys who design digital computers with tubes or even mechanical relays, then why not analog Transformers?

New comment by JPLeRouzic in "Tinnitus Is Somehow Connected to Sleep"

JPLeRouzic — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:28:48 +0000

> "The Oxford researchers proposed that the large spontaneous waves of brain activity that occur during deep sleep, or non-rapid eye movement sleep (non-REM), might suppress the brain activity that leads to tinnitus.2

I have a permanent tinnitus and my watch tells that I have a low level of deep sleep. I wonder how I could improve my deep sleep? (I am retired, live on countryside and have some physical activity)

New comment by JPLeRouzic in "Ask HN: How are LLMs supposed to be used for warfare?"

JPLeRouzic — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 07:39:20 +0000

I saw once a public request from a US administration for interested providers to create a LLM able to translate video meetings in Farsi (Iranian), summarize and propose following up actions.

There were training corpus in English, Hebrew and Farsi. I guess it means the US had access to Iranian communication means. I wondered how it was possible to rely on a LLM to carry international relations. It seems a new low in stupidity.

The request was made on Innocentive (an open innovation website).
