AI 2027 forecasts that AGI could plausibly arrive as early as 2027. I recently spent some time looking at both the timelines forecast and some critiques [1, 2, 3]. Initially, I was interested in technical issues. What’s the best super-exponential curve? How much probability should it have? But I found myself drawn to a more basic question. Namely, how much value is the math really contributing? This provides an excuse for a general rant. Say you want to forecast something. It could be when you

The JTAG in your Qualcomm/Snapdragon device's USB port

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-10 00:34:27

Back in February of this year, Qualcomm quietly published the source code for interacting with EUD. This is perhaps one of the most exciting things they’ve done lately - especially if you spend a lot of time debugging the kernel or U-Boot - let’s talk about it. EUD stands for Embedded USB Debug: essentially, this is a debug interface built right into almost every Qualcomm SoC since ~2018. Internally it hooks deep into the SoC, providing debug facilities for not just the CPUs but also the myriad

I write type-safe generic data structures in C

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-09 22:55:20

June 25, 2025・7 minute read I write type safe generic data structures in C using a technique that I haven’t seen elsewhere. It uses unions to associate type information with a generic data structure, but we’ll get to that. My approach works for any type of data structure: maps, arrays, binary trees… but for this article I illustrate the ideas by implementing a basic linked list. Since many people aren’t aware you can do C generics at all, I figured I’d start simple and build up to this: typede

The Simple Joys of Watching a Giant Robot Knee a Giant Monster in the Balls

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie is a movie filled with many absurd excesses. A combination of the intense mania surrounding the ’90s phenomenon and a big-picture budget, it is a film that constantly asks the question, “What if we could possibly be doing the most at all times?” The film also constantly answers that.

Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-10 01:37:32

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a plan for spectrum auctions that could take frequencies away from Wi-Fi and reallocate them for the exclusive use of wireless carriers. The plan would benefit AT&T, which is based in Cruz's home state, along with Verizon and T-Mobile. Cruz's proposal revives a years-old controversy over whether the entire 6 GHz band should be devoted to Wi-Fi, which can use the large spectrum band for faster speeds than networks that rely solely on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band

Making art used to be a uniquely human endeavor, but machines have learned to distill human creativity with generative AI. Whether that content counts as "art" depends on who you ask, but Spotify doesn't discriminate. A new band called The Velvet Sundown debuted on Spotify this month and has already amassed more than half a million listeners. But by all appearances, The Velvet Sundown is not a real band—it's AI.
