Examination of this high-grade ore from a mine in Gabon was found to contain a lower proportion of uranium-235 (U-235) — the fissile sort. Onl

Meta's Oakley Smart Glasses Have 3K Video—Watch Out, Ray-Ban

When Meta launched the second generation of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in late 2023, few predicted the success that lay ahead for the collaboration—perhaps not even Meta itself. But now, with more than two million sales under its belt, Meta has been looking for a way to widen its partnership with eyewear giant and Ray-Ban owner EssilorLuxottica and keep up the momentum. The answer it seems was staring them in the face: a collaboration with the company’s second largest brand, Oakley. “We la

MIT brain scans suggest that using GenAI tools reduces cognitive activity

Why it matters: As the use of generative AI becomes increasingly common in education, law, politics, media, and other fields, many worry that reliance on the technology may reduce cognitive independence.

Few instruments go lower and are used more sparingly than the huge and strange octobass, one of the rarest classic instruments in existence. Invented in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, the octobass was intended to bring an extremely deep rumble to the orchestra sound.

Literate What is Literate programming? Literate programming is a style of programming invented by Donald Knuth, where the main idea is that a program's source code is made primarily to be read and understood by other people, and secondarily to be executed by the computer. This frees the programmer from the structure of a program imposed by the computer and means that the programmer can develop programs in the order of the flow of their thoughts.

Compiling LLMs into a MegaKernel: A path to low-latency inference

news.ycombinator.com Zhihao Jia 2026-03-10 22:20:54

One of the most effective ways to reduce latency in LLM inference is to fuse all computation and communication into a single megakernel — also known as a persistent kernel. In this design, the system launches just one GPU kernel to execute the entire model — from layer-by-layer computation to inter-GPU communication — without interruption. This approach offers several key performance advantages: Eliminates kernel launch overhead, even in multi-GPU settings, by avoiding repeated kernel invocatio
