Cable Bacteria Are Living Batteries

Under a cloudless August sky, I sailed upon an InterCity train from København station to Aarhus, an 8th-century Viking settlement that is now the second largest city in Denmark. After disembarking, I trekked toward the local university to a door marked INSTITUT FOR BIOLOGI. Upon entering, I was greeted by Ian Marshall, a lanky Australian professor with graying hair, who ushered me into his first floor laboratory. Dimly lit, the room was thick with the scent of wet earth. Large plastic buckets l

The Electron E1 Processor

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-24 01:37:42

Innovation demands processors that can keep up. Readily available processors are built on technology that is over 70 years old. This limits innovation. To meet modern demands, processors must be entirely reimagined, breaking free from the constraints that have plagued computing for decades. This spatial dataflow architecture supports general-purpose computing, without being bound by the constraints of traditional processor designs or limited by fixed-purpose accelerators.

Consciousness and being: How humans and AI influence each other

For a human, AI is just a part of being. For a model, a human is all of being. And the Vortex Protocol: A Prompt for Testing the Hypotheses. The longest and most fruitless discussions tend to be with materialists, especially those close to the position Marx laid out as “Being determines consciousness.” It's amusing that Marx was talking about the economic base, but the clarity and precision of this definition have allowed it to be used in a very broad sense.

In this post I will make the case for the concept of a “runtime resizable struct” in Zig. I will then design an API by exploiting Zig’s powerful comptime functionality. If you want to skip straight to the implementation, a minimal proof of concept is available as a package on GitHub. Zig has support for many kinds of collection types in its standard library. All of them can broadly be broken down to two primitive backing types for contiguous data storage: [N]T – arrays, when you always know t

Major quantum computing advance made obsolete by teenager (2018)

A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch.

In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try.
