Incredible numbers, will have to wait and see how it actually performs. The timing of GLM updates are always suprising

Because I am usually sleeping at 3-5 AM and waking at 8 just becomes really tiring on those days and it is extremely hard to push through...

I want to get better sleep but can not maintain a proper schedule due to university, 2 days a week it's waking up at 8 AM and otherwise 10 AM/11 AM.

I usually have coffee at Morning and a light coffee at 5 PM, it generally helps to do more work because I feel like I want to sit and work. Otherwise I'd dopamine max or play a sport.

Any tips on improving sleep? (It's simply not possible to follow a strict schedule due to multiple deadlines of so many things)

Can you explain how it is much easier if you have a pre-captured map given what they are doing without using any sensors, all you have is perhaps these recent feed forward tokens not actual Geometry.

It does have it's own quirks, but it is quite nice and works out of the box. Really enjoy the sleek design.

Show HN: Vyasa – A client-side AI writing detector (WASM, no API calls)

mostlyk — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 20:32:33 +0000

Now that Wikipedia has banned AI generated articles. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_articles_wit...

I wanted to try and see if it was possible to get somewhat decent engine based on signs of AI writing from wikipedia themselves.

It runs entirely in the browser via WASM. Added instructions to further add more ways to figure out as we find out more about LLMs.

Would love feedback!!, especially: - cases where it completely fails - patterns you think are stronger indicators - whether this approach is even worth pursuing vs proper ML models, considering this is a classical classification task, I just don't like the idea of detection of a black box with another black box.

Ask HN: How do you evaluate whether a CV research idea is worth pursuing?

mostlyk — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:11:29 +0000

In vision, a lot of the ideas seem plausible until you sink weeks into them. How do you evaluate whether a research idea has real value versus being an incremental tweak? Are there heuristics you use before committing compute and time?

I have added Jupyter support and Panning/Zooming for Zed, waiting for them to merge. But I have a version that I use, you can build it if ya want! The PRs: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43553, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43944

Aren't they against using the reverse engineered API and you posses a risk of ban?

We just wish https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow didn't ban devs from using it. WhatsApp started off great and can be great again.

Why kill people who are trying to reverse engineer and write native apps for this? WhatsApp just bans you :(

I work on Robotics, so was recently implementing slamkit in rust. https://github.com/MostlyKIGuess/slam-rs

But a lot of what I work on is my classes giving me less time to open source nowadays, but I have also worked in implementing and mashing new Papers coming out in Robotics. Anyone who wants to talk more should please connect!

Show HN:Interactive RISC-V CPU Visualizer (Sequential and Pipelined)

mostlyk — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 06:04:49 +0000

I built an interactive RISC-V CPU visualizer for a course that lets you explore how instructions move through both a sequential and a 5-stage pipelined processor.

You can step through execution, watch data hazards resolve, and see how branching and forwarding work in real time.

The goal is to make CPU architecture learning more intuitive for students (and anyone who likes poking around pipelines). The whole verilog code and implementation details are available on the project report!

Right now, the demo supports basic arithmetic, memory, and branch instructions, and includes two pre-programmed examples (a basic ALU demo and a Fibonacci pipeline program).

Would love feedback on how to handle branching better, I remember crushing it due to deadline and it is not handled properly, but haven't looked at the code in-depth after that :p. I also want to do something similar for OS and write from scratch, been seeing a lot of post so any recommendations are appreciated :)

I personally find it really hard to use them in VSCode due to it's lag on Vim mode and I haven't found a good alternative yet.

Any reason for using a transformer architecture? You look at https://olmocr.allenai.org/ which does the best handwritten-to-latex in my opinion also does use VLM.

Also maybe xD not use LLMs to generate your HN description.
