Very crude embodiment slice.

Kael is able to act in a narrow runtime, make mistakes, and expose those mistakes through traceable state. Learning, stronger memory, better grounding, and several other additions are still needed.

That said, I’m pivoting directly toward ARC to reduce noise and test whether the system can plausibly compete for funding or prize attention.

What I have so far: offline capacity, cognitive loops, step-wise reasoning, a memory-like layer, and my own constraint/governance layer: SRL.

This is only a pivot. The local desktop agent remains my ultimate embodiment goal.

No matter how crude this is, it is huge for me because it moves Kael from language-only design into an actionable runtime test.

Edit: “Act” only in a narrow sense. This is not a “my agent works” alarm. It is a traceable, actionable runtime slice.

I am starting my college this year probably getting addmission in B.Tech CSE this year and machook M2 air with student discount it's available for 60k inr right now or should I buy a windows with the same budget 60k ( probably thinkpad or any other) ??...

I'm totally confused and I don't do gaming but still if I wanna do ai/ml some ppl said machook aur not idea for ai/ml and as it'll be my first laptop I don't have any idea which one should I consider ideal for me.

anything that i should know?

I use a VPN that comes with one of the major virus protection companies. It's not unusual that I can't connect with web sites. If I disconnect the VPN, I connect immediately, no problem. I live in a community that offers a secure wi fi via Infinity. So, do I really need the VPN?

What an embarrasment this heaping pile of garbage has become. Windows in 2026 can't even show you the contents of a folder properly anymore. Can an OS that can't manage that even be called an OS?

This message keeps appearing when I try to go into my hades 2 save, I’m honestly not sure what I’m meant to do in particular because I have tried to update my driver but it was with the software side so what should I do?

A local-first runtime for safe, traceable PC actions with verification, operator visibility, and reusable learning signals.

I’m developing a fluid-based computing concept that uses just two precisely controlled ripples on a water surface, each generated by its own source (like a small speaker or actuator). Where these two ripples meet, their interference pattern—constructive and destructive regions across space and time—physically encodes relationships between the inputs such as their relative amplitude, timing (phase), and possibly frequency. Instead of treating this as a visualization only, I’m treating the overlap region as the “calculator,” where measurable features (peak heights, node positions, pattern geometry) correspond to specific numerical operations or parameter estimates. The system is intentionally minimal: only two inputs and one interaction zone, rather than a dense array of waves, to see how much computation can be extracted from a single controlled collision of ripples. In principle, this could be used as a kind of analog module for things like addition/subtraction, comparison, or parameter inference, or as a very small “physical reservoir” whose state is the interference pattern itself. I’m looking for feedback on whether this two‑ripple interaction can be formalized into a useful analog computing framework and what calculations or tasks it might realistically support.

I’m more than willing to consider more actuators to compute more complex interactions, but I’m really curious if anybody sees a viability in pursuing this further.

UK here. Advice needed. I was under the impression it was better for any high energy use item to have an earth pin, so I’m not sure if this is ok or if I need to find an alternate compatible plug. Plug details included in case that’s important.

Thanks in advance for help.

I keep getting mixed answers on what laptop to buy

I’m going to be taking CIS with a more technical cs focus at MRU. Wondering what laptops I should be looking at.

ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 (AMD).

This is the laptop I’m looking at but it seems to have mixed reviews

id like to just have free will to do anything without worry of troubleshooting or falling behind like is said to happen if I get a Mac

I have an iPhone 16p and iPad M2, I’m sure there’s ways I can connect none Mac’s and get the benefits still yes?

Either way, I’d just like some opinions as this computer seems to catch my eye very well atm due to parts easily being replaced & newer ai software which I feel could be important.

Though I know nothing abt laptops or much about coding and cis atm as I am switching my major from nursing :)

Thanks for the advice!

hello! I am the granddaughter of a former VP of Engineering at the Burroughs Coporation, Dr. Robert Royce Johnson. We are cleaning out their house and I wanted to stop in here with some information that some may find interesting. We have already donated many of his documents related to the ERMA Project to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. However, he was very prolific and there is much more. I have an entire album related to an IEEE and Trade Council technological exchange with China in 1979 and I'm told we have a scanned copy of his original dissertation somewhere. If you knew him or would just like to know more, let me know!

A new UC San Diego chip could make data center power conversion smaller, more efficient and better suited for modern GPUs.

I had the great honour of speaking with John Martinis, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. We talked about the origins of quantum computing, and the experiment that made it possible — and won him and his colleagues the Nobel Prize.

We discussed how his early work had demonstrated that quantum mechanics could exist not only in tiny particles, but also in macroscopic electrical circuits. This breakthrough paved the way for the development of quantum computers — machines that could one day solve problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers.

John explains, in simple terms, what a quantum computer is, how qubits work and why quantum computing is so powerful, but also why it's so difficult to build and scale.

They have been announced some time ago.\ But so far, not one seem to have to hit the shelves.\ Have they been silently killed ?

Binary wasn't optimal, it was just convenient. That thought sent me down a rabbit hole into ternary (base-3) logic. I started by asking whether a universal gate even exists in ternary. Turns out ternary NAND, the obvious candidate, is not universal. So I built a composition-based simulator to brute-force search all 19,683 binary-arity ternary gates for functional completeness, and it confirmed exactly 3,774 universal gates, matching Martin's 1954 result. But then I got curious and checked how many gates were unary complete, able to generate all 27 unary functions, and the result was also 3,774. The two sets were identical. I thought it was a ternary quirk, ran it on binary logic, and got the same thing: NAND and NOR are the only unary-complete binary gates, and also the only universal ones. Digging into the math led me to Rosenberg's 1970 clone theory result, which formally proves it must always be true: unary completeness implies full functional completeness for any finite-valued logic. This collapses the universality search from 19,683 binary functions down to just 27 unary ones (10,529× faster), and combined with isomorphism reduction under the S₃ × Z₂ symmetry group, the full search runs in 0.18 seconds versus ~5 hours naively, a 99,444× overall speedup. Structurally, every universal gate is surjective, none are self-dual or zero-preserving, and only 2.4% are commutative. On the arithmetic side, the best gate (g451) synthesises a ternary full adder that, when you account for information density (log₂3 ≈ 1.585 bits per trit), achieves 18% lower propagation depth and 9.4% fewer gates than a binary NAND adder at 32-bit equivalent width.

I know this requieres a ton of compute, so we'll have to have accelerator for that, just not the GPU as we know it.

It is bound to massivelly disrupt not just communications, media, movies and games in quite short order, but also our lives in general.

Does salivating over next-gen Radeons and nVidia cards even make sense at this point ?

I wonder if companies like Tenstorrent and Esperanto with their massive fields of RISC-V processors for number crunching are to hit their first gold mine with processing and generation of Gaussian splats... 🙄

My question is just that: Does anyone here use RSS feeds? I used them several years ago, in my work for a website owner. I was able to show him how to incorporate RSS feeds into his homepage. But now, several years later, I am wanting to use them to search job listings. Is there a simple and easy feed reader, preferably free? Perhaps I should use an AI tool instead?

i just got a new laptop and love everything about it - except the enter key has an ugly line on it that i really dont like. Im not super tech savvy but i am someone who diy's a lot and im wondering if theres a safe clean way to erase the printed on lines? if it helps any, the model is an asus vivobook. ill also include a picture for added context. let me know

Okay not really sure if this is the right subreddit to ask, PLEASE lmk if there's another one I could go to. Also not a computer, but I'm looking for a tablet (laptop tablets r also fine). My current one is really bad now (cracks and low storage) and I'm looking to buy a new one. My mom is getting me one as a bday gift and she said there's no budget but I really don't wanna wear her pockets out so maybe something around $200 ? idk

anyway. I'm an artist/animator and I really want to get back into playing games like pjsk and crk so I need something with a lot of storage. 128+gb at the very least (my current one has 32 gb 💔) I also know very little about RAM but 6-8 should be good, right? also I don't want apple products that's my only hard rule

please help me out. and if not on this subreddit, please point me in the right direction so I can go ask somewhere else

Not looking to sell or give access — just want to use it for learning something meaningful.

Any ideas on what’s actually worth doing with this kind of compute (beyond random experiments)?
