Rust's `serde_json` recently switched to use a new library for floating string conversion: https://github.com/dtolnay/zmij.

A market maker needs a premium to provide liquidity. If all else is equal, why would they take on execution time risk? This is a universal feature of continuous-trading Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs), not something unique to prediction markets.
WiSaGaN commented on Reproducing DeepSeek's MHC: When Residual Connections Explode taylorkolasinski.com/note... · Posted by u/taykolasinski
I’m referring specifically to the fundamental residual connection backbone that defines the transformer architecture (x_{l+1} = x_l + F(x_l)).
While the sub-modules differ (MHA vs GQA, SwiGLU vs GeLU, Mixture-of-Depths, etc.), the core signal propagation in Llama, Gemini, and Claude relies on that additive residual stream.
My point here is that DeepSeek's mHC challenges that fundamental additive assumption by introducing learnable weighted scaling factors to the residual path itself.
I guess I am asking how we know Gemini and Claude relies on the additive residual stream. We don't know the architecture details for these closed models?

OP here. I spent the last few days reproducing the mHC architecture from the recent DeepSeek paper (2512.24880).
Two key takeaways from the reproduction:
Unconstrained Hyper-Connections really do explode (7x amplification even at 10M scale).
I hit a nasty "stream persistence" bug where my tensors were the right shape, but the architecture was functionally broken.
This is Part 1 (10M scale). Part 2 (scaling to 1B on A100s) is coming later this week. Happy to answer questions about the implementation.
How do you know "GPT-5, Claude, Llama, Gemini. Under the hood, they all do the same thing: x+F(x)."?

I have a similar experience when I found out that claude code can use ssh to conect to remote server and diagnose any sysadmin issue there. It just feels really empowered.
I can't find the source. Anyone can point to it?
It's not just greenfield-ness but the fact it's a commercial endeavor (even if the code is open-source).
Building a commercial product means you pay money (or something they equally value) to people to do your bidding. You don't have to worry about politics, licensing, and all the usual FOSS-related drama. You pay them to set their opinions aside and build what you want, not what they want (and if that doesn't work, it just means you need to offer more money).
In this case it's a company that believes they can make a "good" package manager they can sell/monetize somehow and so built that "good" package manager. Turns out it's at least good enough that other people now like it too.
This would never work in a FOSS world because the project will be stuck in endless planning as everyone will have an opinion on how it should be done and nothing will actually get done.
Similar story with systemd - all the bitching you hear about it (to this day!) is the stuff that would've happened during its development phase had it been developed as a typical FOSS project and ultimately made it go nowhere - but instead it's one guy that just did what he wanted and shared it with the world, and enough other people liked it and started building upon it.
This argument falls apart when you look at Rust and Cargo. uv is literally trying to be "Python's Cargo." The entire blueprint came from a flagship FOSS project.
Rust's development used a structured, community RFC process—endless planning by your definition. The result was a famously well-designed toolchain that the entire community praises. FOSS didn't hold it back; it made it good.
So no, commercial backing isn't the only way to ship something good. FOSS is more than capable to ship great software when done right.
