In plain words
Cuq is a formal verification tool designed for Rust GPU kernel developers. It enables developers to mathematically prove the correctness of GPU code written in Rust, helping catch bugs and ensure reliability in compute-intensive applications. The tool is particularly valuable for those working with GPU acceleration who need high assurance in their kernel implementations. Cuq targets software engineers and researchers building safety-critical GPU applications.

VeriCUDA connects a small executable Rust-like IR to a hand-written PTX-style event layer and establishes two concurrency-sensitive results. First, the message-passing litmus test forbids flag = 1, data = 0 when the flag handoff is release/acquire, while an explicit consistent execution permits that outcome when both flag accesses are relaxed. Second, an eight-thread shared-memory tree reduction has a unique 61-event trace and result across completed consistent executions. A mechanized stale-read execution breaks that determinism when the consistency premise is removed, showing that the barrier-derived happens-before constraints are essential to the reduction theorem. This is not an…from github.com

Duplicate 3 layers in a 24B LLM, logical deduction .22→.76. No trainingMar 2026 · github.com · ▲265I replicated David Ng's RYS method (https://dnhkng.github.io/posts/rys/) on consumer AMD GPUs (RX 7900 XT + RX 6950 XT) and found something I didn't expect. Transformers appear to have discrete "reasoning circuits" — contiguous blocks of 3-4 layers that act as indivisible cognitive units. Duplicate the right block and the model runs its reasoning pipeline twice. No weights change. No training. The model just thinks longer. The results on standard benchmarks (lm-evaluation-harness, n=50): Devstral-24B, layers 12-14 duplicated once: - BBH Logical Deduction: 0.22 → 0.76…

I built a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA2025 · github.com · ▲119Hi HN, Over the past few months, I've been building `dsc`, a tensor library from scratch in C++/CUDA. My main focus has been on getting the basics right, prioritizing a clean API, simplicity, and clear observability for running small LLMs locally. The key features are: - C++ core with CUDA support written from scratch. - A familiar, PyTorch-like Python API. - Runs real models: it's complete enough to load a model like Qwen from HuggingFace and run inference on both CUDA and CPU with a single line change[1]. - Simple, built-in observability for both Python and C++. Next on the roadmap is…
Formally verified 3D CSG: Trust 93 lines spec, not 1000 lines AI codeJul 2026 · github.com · ▲115To my knowledge, this is the first formally verified implementation of a 3D constructive solid geometry (CSG) operation: mesh intersection, implemented in Lean 4 and verified against a concise specification that pins down the surface of the resulting mesh exactly and guarantees practical well-formedness conditions on the triangulation. This project is also an experiment in avoiding having to trust AI-generated code. A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
