news.ycombinator.com Axel Wagner 2026-02-02 04:56:48

Generic interfaces Axel Wagner 7 July 2025 There is an idea that is not obvious until you hear about it for the first time: as interfaces are types themselves, they too can have type parameters. This idea proves to be surprisingly powerful when it comes to expressing constraints on generic functions and types. In this post, we’ll demonstrate it, by discussing the use of interfaces with type parameters in a couple of common scenarios. A simple tree set As a motivating example, assume we need

Elon Musk’s xAI launches Grok 4 alongside a $300 monthly subscription

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-02-05 05:28:59

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, late on Wednesday released its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4, and unveiled a new $300-per-month AI subscription plan, SuperGrok Heavy. Grok is xAI’s answer to models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, and can analyze images and respond to questions. In recent months, Grok has become more deeply integrated into Musk’s social network, X, which was recently acquired by xAI. However, that has also put Grok’s misbehavior front and center for millions of users.

Adam Smigielski/Getty Images Over the last few decades, compromised usernames and passwords have typically been at the root of some of the most sensational, damaging, and costly data breaches. An incessant drumbeat of advice about how to choose and use strong passwords and how not to fall prey to social engineering attacks has done little to keep threat actors at bay.

Nobody enjoys talking about their bodily functions, and bowel movements are right up there in the uncomfortable stakes. But once you get beyond the embarrassment, there is a lot that you can learn about yourself if you know what to pay attention to.

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration.
