In this post, we study reservoir computing—a subset of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) used for complex temporal processing tasks. We'll examine what happens when noise is introduced into these systems. Reservoir computing is especially interesting for dynamics prediction in physical systems, though it can also be adapted to tasks like language modeling. Compared to transformer-based methods, it’s academically underexplored and pedagogically simple—ideal for learning. Training involves just a linear layer, with the recurrent structure derived from a random matrix, making ESNs easy to interpret. We’ll focus on echo state networks (ESNs), which include a few tunable parameters: sparsity,…from ampolloreno.com

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
