I started creating internal models using it, then the Gated Deltanet 2 came out( https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.22791), and it seems like an evolution of it in expressiveness. And in our tests it is really better than.

I know this is a common trope here, and yeah, plenty of MBA-type CEOs are trash. But speaking as a founder/CEO of a small company, the quality gap between an average hire and top talent at the director level is night and day.

Proven talent comes with a massive price tag, but it's almost always worth it. The times I regretted going with the 2nd or 3rd place candidate because they were cheaper ended up setting us back by months.

The same logic applies to CEOs. Moving the needle for a massive company by even a few percent is worth billions. Just look at Lisa Su or Steve Jobs.

This could be controversial, but when hiring and I see anyone that has multiple parallel jobs, it is an instant reject. Maybe this could be it? This sentiment is shared by many other persons I talked, and come from bad experience in the past.

It is super strange that all last (3?) releases they keep comparing older models such as Opus-4.6.

One interesting point of GitLab for me is the self-hosted version, including the AI features (Duo) that can also be self-hosted and you can bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic key.

From my experience MariaDB is not necessarily better than MySQL. The 8.x line brought many interesting features. I dream on switch to Postgres, and try every year but for my use case MySQL is still superior (100Bi+ rows for large texts, and heavy modified - I´m also space constrained - So I need data compression and the VACUUM are not good.)

The percona distribution is very good!

Tell HN: X/Twitter is now removing the chronological timeline

bratao — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:26:58 +0000

I really feel like the platform is actively fighting against my own agency, and I want to know if others are seeing this new behavior.

I am an engineer from Brazil working with Deep Learning and NLP. For years, my strategy to avoid social media addiction was simple: I curated a list of researchers and labs in my field, and I only browsed the "Following" tab. I ignore the "For You" tab completely. I treat it like an RSS feed: I want to see what happened in order, and when I reach the post I saw yesterday, I stop.

Some time ago (I think last year?), they split the timeline into two tabs: "For You" and "Following". It was annoying that they removed the old global setting to default to chronological, but I could live with just clicking "Following" every time I opened the app.

But things got much worse last week.

My "Following" feed started feeling weird. Less informative, more controversial, and out of order. Then I noticed that inside the "Following" tab, there is now a dropdown menu to sort by "Popular" vs "Recent".

It seems the default is now "Popular" (algorithmic). Even if I manually switch it to "Recent" to get my chronological order back, it resets on the next access.

They are effectively forcing the algorithm down our throats. I imagine an algorithmic timeline is much better for ad injection and "doomscrolling" engagement because every refresh gives you something new, whereas a chronological feed has a "end" state.

It is super frustrating. I really want to move away from X, but the signal-to-noise ratio for niche technical content is still too high there to just leave.

I just want to vent my frustration.

New comment by bratao in "HipKittens: Fast and furious AMD kernels"

bratao — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 22:38:42 +0000

One thing I don't understand about Nvidia’s valuation is that right now a small number of algorithms have 'won,' such as Transformers. The data is very important. Compared to the past where customized code was much more common, such as modeling code and HPC, the ecosystem was very important and it was almost impossible to implement all CUDA and related code.

Competitors now only need to optimize for a narrow set of algorithms. If a vendor can run vLLM and Transformers efficiently, a massive market becomes available. Consequently, companies like AMD or Huawei should be able to catch up easily. What, then, is Nvidia’s moat? Is InfiniBand enough?"
