This article tells part of the story of New World Computing. Some passions are lifelong, but many others fade away over the course of a life, to be replaced by others. Not long after Jon Van Caneghem, the founder of New World Computing, sold his company to 3DO, it started to become obvious to everyone who worked for him that the torch he carried for computer games no longer burned as brightly as it once had. A younger version of Van Caneghem had spent almost three years designing and programm

Multiplatform Matrix Multiplication Kernels

news.ycombinator.com Unknown Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:59:49 +0000

Few algorithmic problems are as central to modern computing as matrix multiplication. It is fundamental to AI, forming the basis of fully connected layers used throughout neural networks. In transformer architectures, most of the computation is spent performing matrix multiplication. And since compute largely determines capability, faster matrix multiplication algorithms directly translate into more powerful models [1 ]. NVIDIA probably deserves much of the credit for making matrix multiplicatio

James Gunn and DC Haven’t Started Casting Wonder Woman… Yet

The holy trilogy of James Gunn’s DC Universe is slowly coming together. Part one, of course, is Superman, which is now in theaters. A Batman movie is being written (in addition to Matt Reeves’ new Batman movie), and, of late, there’s been lots of talk about Wonder Woman too. As co-president of DC Studios, Gunn recently confirmed a Wonder Woman script is being written, and subsequent rumors suggested the film was being fast-tracked.

Adoption Agency Data Exposure Revealed Information About Children and Parents

The adoption process is inherently sensitive, involving deeply personal information about children, birth parents, adoptive parents, and other caregivers. So when longtime data-breach hunter and security researcher Jeremiah Fowler came across a publicly accessible database online at the end of June that seemed to contain information related to adoption, he was instantly concerned.

Kunzinger and Sämann wanted to use their new way of estimating curvature to determine whether these singularity theorems would still be valid if they no longer assumed space-time is smooth. Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces? It’s important to find out if the smoothness condition can be waived, Sämann said, because doing so would bring the theorems closer to physical reality. After all, he added, “we believe non-smoothness is an inescapable part of the nat

In doing so, they could also help solve a mystery that has puzzled scientists for over two decades.
