Minimal Boolean Formulas

news.ycombinator.com Russ Cox 2026-03-03 09:53:25

Minimal Boolean Formulas Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. 28. That's the minimum number of AND or OR operators you need in order to write any Boolean function of five variables. Alex Healy and I computed that in April 2010. Until then, I believe no one had ever known that little fact. This post describes how we computed it and how we almost got scooped by Knuth's Volume 4A which considers the problem for AND, OR, and XOR.

Jony Ive and Sam Altman’s AI Gadget Won’t Be ChatGPT in Your Ears

This wasn’t a falling out between the two titans in tech, but rather the result of something altogether stranger.

A Chinese firm has just launched a constantly changing set of AI benchmarks

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2026-03-07 08:46:28

Development of the benchmark at HongShan began in 2022, following ChatGPT’s breakout success, as an internal tool for assessing which models are worth investing in. Since then, led by partner Gong Yuan, the team has steadily expanded the system, bringing in outside researchers and professionals to help refine it. As the project grew more sophisticated, they decided to release it to the public. Xbench approached the problem with two different systems. One is similar to traditional benchmarking:

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

news.ycombinator.com James Felton 2026-03-07 09:24:05

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher
