Creating an autonomous system for fun and profit (2017)

news.ycombinator.com Kenneth Finnegan 2026-01-02 16:37:57

At its core, the Internet is an interconnected fabric of separate networks. Each network which makes up the Internet is operated independently and only interconnects with other networks in clearly defined places. For smaller networks like your home, the interaction between your network and the rest of the Internet is usually pretty simple: you buy an Internet service plan from an ISP (Internet Service Provider), they give you some kind of hand-off through something like a DSL or cable modem, an

Hierarchical Modeling (H-Nets)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-12 22:35:15

The best AI architectures in use today treat all inputs equally. They process each input with the same amount of compute, without explicitly grouping related inputs into higher level concepts. While these architectures have achieved impressive results across domains, this lack of hierarchy has some fundamental limitations. Models have difficulty learning from high resolution, raw data, requiring inputs to be pre-processed into meaningful tokens for strong performance. The use of hand-crafted p

A Technical Look at Iran’s Internet Shutdowns Every time mass protests erupt in Iran, a familiar pattern follows: the flow of information stops. The internet slows to a crawl or disappears entirely. But how does a modern country survive cutting itself off from the internet? Wouldn’t that break everything? Not quite, because the Islamic Republic has spent the last decade building an internet within the internet. The National Information Network (NIN): Isolation by Design Iran’s National Info

The notification comes whenever I’ve almost gone 90 days without making a chargeable transaction on the network and it serves to keep my number alive.

Exploring the Complexity of Distributed Consensus Algorithms in Blockchain

Consensus in blockchain isn’t just a technical problem—it’s an intellectual minefield. You’ve got decentralized nodes spread across the globe, each operating under different assumptions, with varying latencies, incentives, and potential motivations, and yet they’re all expected to come to the same conclusion about the state of a distributed ledger. No central authority, no fallback mechanisms, no easy resets. Just code, cryptography, and coordination dancing on the edge of chaos. It’s beautiful

Compared with conventional psychological models, which use simple math equations, Centaur did a far better job of predicting behavior. Accurate predictions of how humans respond in psychology experiments are valuable in and of themselves: For example, scientists could use Centaur to pilot their experiments on a computer before recruiting, and paying, human participants. In their paper, however, the researchers propose that Centaur could be more than just a prediction machine. By interrogating th
