A new fast path for d_state=64 has been added to the SSM_SCAN kernel in ggml-cuda, improving generation throughput for Zamba2-7B-Instruct from 11 to 15.1 tok/s—approximately a 35% increase—by eliminating CPU fallbacks for this state size. The change was verified with real-world Zamba2 hyperparameters and maintains correctness, though a separate 28% of scan calls still fall back to CPU due to an undiagnosed issue.
Show HN: Throng, a project first, terminal 2nd IDE for command line people
I've been beavering away at this since July, and its finally getting to a point where its stabilising.It started Windows only, but I recently converted over to Linux, so I've been ironing out the kinks in the last week. You can install it via apt or rpm, or .exe or .msi on Windows.Many more features to come, including native agent support and more preview features (images, PDF, document formats). Claude works pretty well in it, but I've not tried many other agents yet.I rarely leave throng now - 99% of my work happens inside it. I stopped using Visual Studio around 10 months ago (in favour of VSCode), and now I don't even use VSCode. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50412226 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
Fourier’s Meta Prototype Puts a Spotlight on an 8-Billion-Yuan Robotics Bet
Shanghai’s Fourier Intelligence built a custom humanoid for Meta’s internal research in months. The company already has a rehab business, modest humanoid shipments, and a disclosed pre-money valuation of about 8 billion yuan. A marquee partner tests its engineering—it does not yet prove the equity story.
Information-Matched Auditing of Conversational Emotion-Shift Forecasting: A Leakage-Safe Evaluation Protocol
arXiv:2611.05895v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comparisons in conversational emotion-shift forecasting are easily distorted when a learned model receives rich features but its transition baseline is given a noisy or unavailable current-emotion label, when hyperparameter budgets differ, or when target-turn information enters the representation. We present an information-matched, leakage-safe auditing protocol that closes these gaps with an explicit commitment point, executable causality tests, equal four-configuration validation searches, and seed-dialogue-aware inference. Applying it to six causal model families on four text corpora and two feature-source sensitivity configurations shows that a deployable train-only current-emotion classifier feeding the transition baseline yields a different verdict than an oracle diagnostic where both sides receive gold current emotion. Under the deployable condition, learned models improve over the predicted-label baseline on all four primary corpora; DailyDialog gains are large and survive a 72-comparison Holm correction (best ROC-AUC gain = +0.167, adjusted p=.0144). Under matched gold information, the baseline remains competitive on IEMOCAP and stronger on MELD, while every model retains a large DailyDialog advantage. We additionally report precision-recall AUC, calibration, a strictly utterance-local feature control, same-person self-shift forecasting, and a future-access dose-response test. An eight-item leakage checklist accompanies the protocol. Code, raw seed predictions, and reporting artifacts are available from the corresponding author upon request.
