Nobody is shaking this off: Pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Instagram on Tuesday, and the likes exploded like pyrotechnics at a concert. The post broke Instagram's record for reposts, even though, to be fair, reposting just started on Instagram in August. Still, the post hit 1 million reposts in less than 6 hours and earned 14 million likes in just the first hour. By Friday, it had topped 34.7 million likes, vaulting it to n

The US electrical grid is facing a stress test like never before. Thanks to a perfect storm of AI power consumption, climate crisis, crony capitalism, and a president bent on uprooting perfectly good energy infrastructure, the country's already-struggling power system is rapidly crumbling as costs balloon into the stratosphere. A recent analysis by Bloomberg underscores just how dire it's getting. In the country's largest continuous grid — a 13-state monstrosity managed by PJM Interconnection L

Do the simplest thing that could possibly work

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 12:05:09

When designing software systems, do the simplest thing that could possibly work. It’s surprising how far you can take this piece of advice. I genuinely think you can do this all the time. You can follow this approach for fixing bugs, for maintaining existing systems, and for architecting new ones. A lot of engineers design by trying to think of the “ideal” system: something well-factored, near-infinitely scalable, elegantly distributed, and so on. I think this is entirely the wrong way to go a

With new in-house models, Microsoft lays the groundwork for independence from OpenAI

This announcement may represent an effort to move away from dependence on OpenAI, despite Microsoft's substantial investment in that company.

SQLite's Durability Settings Are a Mess

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Ayer 2025-10-26 15:30:29

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost

GoPro Needs to Get Its Act Together if These Leaks for DJI’s Tiny Action Camera Are Real

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 07:42:40

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features.
