Overengineering my homelab so I don't pay cloud providers

news.ycombinator.com Thibault Martin 2025-11-30 15:14:15

After years of self-hosting on a VPS in a datacenter, I’ve decided to move my services at home. But instead of just porting services, I’m using this as an opportunity to migrate to a more flexible and robust set up. I will deploy services on a single mini pc. Since I need to be able to experiment and learn without disrupting my services, I will need to be able to spin up Virtual Machines (VMs). Let’s explore how I deployed Proxmox Virtual Environment on a safe host for my specific needs as a ho

HRT's Python Fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for Faster Imports

news.ycombinator.com Noah Kim 2025-12-05 02:12:03

Python @ HRT At Hudson River Trading (HRT), we’ve found that centralizing our codebase facilitates cross-team collaboration and rapid deployment of new projects. Therefore, the majority of our software development takes place in a monorepo, and our Python ecosystem is set up such that internal modules are importable everywhere. Unfortunately, the convenience of this arrangement has led to a conundrum: a vast proliferation of imports. In Python, imports occur at runtime. For each imported name,

OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-12-05 02:10:04

OpenAI astounded the tech industry for the second time this week by launching its newest flagship model, GPT-5, just days after releasing two new freely available models under an open source license. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on o

Maybe Google Gemini needs to take some PTO. The company's large language AI model, which is increasingly spreading across Google's many services and products, has been saying some things lately that are leading users to worry: Does Gemini have low self esteem? A series of posts on social media showing some of the self-critical responses Gemini has given users show a disturbing pattern. For instance, in one screenshot, Gemini admits it can't solve a coding problem and concludes, "I have failed.

How Attention Sinks Keep Language Models Stable

news.ycombinator.com Guangxuan Xiao 2025-12-06 04:53:10

We discovered why language models catastrophically fail on long conversations: when old tokens are removed to save memory, models produce complete gibberish. We found models dump massive attention onto the first few tokens as "attention sinks"—places to park unused attention since softmax requires weights to sum to 1. Our solution, StreamingLLM, simply keeps these first 4 tokens permanently while sliding the window for everything else, enabling stable processing of 4 million+ tokens instead of j

Solar-Powered Device Turns Moon Dirt Into Bricks, a Potential Breakthrough in Lunar Construction

Both the U.S. and China have set their sights on the Moon, aiming to break ground on permanent lunar bases within the next decade. Though there’s no legal basis for claiming territory in space, whichever country gets there first will gain a coveted first-mover advantage, allowing it to set certain ground rules about who can do what, where. But getting there first is only half the battle. Actually establishing a sustained lunar presence presents significant logistical and engineering challenges.
