Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

news.ycombinator.com Jeffrey Burt 2025-09-18 04:48:01

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs.

European ant is the first known animal to clone members of another species

news.ycombinator.com Sophie Berdugo 2025-09-20 17:27:01

The same Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) queen produced the hairy male Messor ibericus (on the left) and the hairless male Messor structor (on the right), despite them being members of distantly related species. Queen ants in southern Europe produce male clones of an entirely different species — tearing up the playbook of reproductive biology and suggesting we need to rethink our understanding of species barriers.

I got the highest score on ARC-AGI again swapping Python for English

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily. This highlights a core limitation of current LLMs: they struggle to reason about things they weren't trained on. They struggle to generalize. But they are getting better, fast. Last December, I got first place on ARC-AGI v1 with a score of 53.6%. A lot has changed since then. Thinking models had just come out and

Why the Oracle-OpenAI deal caught Wall Street by surprise

This week, OpenAI and Oracle shocked the markets with a surprise $300 billion, five-year agreement, part of a surge of new business that sent the cloud provider’s stock skyrocketing.

To go fast today, you have to play the new game. “CPUs keep getting faster every generation” Over the past 20 years or so computer hardware has evolved such that some facts we “know” about computers are wrong.
