Sapients paper on the concept of Hierarchical Reasoning Model
Abstract:Reasoning, the process of devising and executing complex goal-oriented action sequences, remains a critical challenge in AI. Current large language models (LLMs) primarily employ Chain-of-Thought (CoT) techniques, which suffer from brittle task decomposition, extensive data requirements, and high latency. Inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain, we propose the Hierarchical Reasoning […]

Chemical Process Produces Critical Battery Metals with No Waste
08 Jul 2025 4 min read Aspiring Minerals, based in New Zealand, is operating a pilot plant to break apart olivine into more useful materials. Aspiring Minerals Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper […]
Measuring Engineering
Focus on the system, not the individuals? If you’ve been an engineer for any length of time, then you’ll probably recognize these truths about software. It’s not predictable. Estimations are hard unless you’ve done it before. And if you’ve done it before, it already exists. Requirements are in constant flux. The customer is always right, […]
Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs
Since the inception of solid-state drives (SSDs), there has been a choice to make—either use SSDs for vastly superior speeds, especially with non-sequential read and writes (“random I/O”), or use legacy spinning rust hard disk drives (HDDs) for cheaper storage that’s a bit slow for sequential I/O1 and painfully slow for random I/O. The idea […]
