Google's Vice President of Devices and Services, Shakil Barkat, all but confirmed in an interview with 9to5 Google that its next Pixel phone would cost more than the Pixel 10. Considering the ongoing RAM supply issues due to the explosion of AI data centers, the rumored price hike is not a complete surprise. Companies from […]
Hey HN! A while back I asked Codex to generate a companion site for a book I was enjoying. It ended up generating a landing page for the book that was ...actually good? I went down a bit of a rabbit hole prompting different models to generate landing pages for different books and this is the result. The site runs you through a series of blind "taste" tests to help you figure out which model's designs you prefer. Would love any feedback you have if you try it out! Comments URL: https://news.ycomb
Maybe a dumb question but I don't think I've ever experienced more down/waiting time in my career so I'm much more prone to opening YouTube, HN, etc. despite not really wanting to. Most likely the answer is to just sit and do nothing. But have you discovered an approach to making agentic coding, etc work for you without feeding into distraction and attention deficit?

This second installment explores how Ray’s higher-level libraries—Serve, Data, and Train—abstract the complexities of running AI workloads on Google's TPU slices. Ray Serve uses a simple topology configuration to correctly gang-schedule large multi-host models, while Ray Data eliminates data-loading bottlenecks by feeding accelerators directly with native JAX batches. Finally, JaxTrainer streamlines distributed training across TPUs by automatically handling cross-slice coordination, checkpointin

Related to this thread [1] which Jabber clients not only detect MitM tampering when a valid cert is used in the middle but is not the cert on the server, meaning an entity obtained a certificate, used it to MitM the connection and the client not only rejects this alternate valid certificate but also alerts the user to the MitM.

If someone has made a free-to-use tool that is open-source and legitmately helpful (and not AI slop). How do I get it to people? I have already posted it here on HN, on subreddits, on LinkedIn, and some forums. Where else can I post (for free)? What other social media platforms would be good for this? For context I have two tools: one is robotics related and the other is ML related. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49049662 Points: 2 # Comments: 10
I feel like in the past, software jobs like programming, IT and academic fields like computer science, created some identity -- these fields required deep understanding of technical details, which attracted a specific type of people, and thus allowed a certain type of culture to be created, what's called the hacker/nerd/geek culture -- and now in the age of ai, this technical knowledge is much less relevant. What will happen to this culture? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=490

At libraries around the country, "Avoiding AI" workshops have elicited unprecedented demand.
Ringup is built to simplify voice payments. My hypothesis is Voice AI will lead to an explosion in people transacting over phone calls. Ringup helps consumers save their card details once and use it everywhere. It helps merchants get payments directly to their processor. And it helps developers by reducing integration complexity. Try it if you're a developer building Voice AI. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49048730 Points: 3 # Comments: 2
I have realized - some of the premier american 'a.i' labs are headed by people without manufacturing expertise - of | or how things are made in the real world. I'm not doubting their experience as world class researchers - but the research lab is not the real world - with complex dynamics. all their 'models' are solutions seeking problems. but it doesn't mean the models are not useful for some tasks. before releasing models - they have never stopped to ask - what are we working towards or what a

The Hidden Cost of Frictionless Technology Taotuner — 2026 I recently asked an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations. It listed five places, complete with ratings, distance, and popular dishes. I picked one, went, had a fine meal. Later, when a friend asked what I'd eaten, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant. The experience wasn't bad. It was frictionless. And it left almost no trace. We've built tools that eliminate the gap between want and satisfaction, question and answer, cu

I'm looking for some concrete examples of any AI advancements actually causing someone to financially prosper where they didn't before. Most of the examples I can think of make someone or something slightly more streamlined or productive, and so I'm looking for cases where company X is now Y% more profitable because of AI advancements.

Looking forward to participating in the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists (AEG) ‘Responsible AI for real-world geoscience’ on the 26th August. Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering applied geoscience practice, but its value depends on how well it is grounded in geologic understanding, field observations, and professional judgment. This half-day virtual symposium will explore how AI-enabled... Continue Reading →
Thoroughly enjoyed the ‘vibe-coding for geoscientists’ event yesterday. We had six teams most of whom had never used large language models before to build an application. People joined from diverse backgrounds, including students and seasoned practitioners. The task revolved around extracting geological outcrop polygons for a mica-rich metamorphic layer from a map image, so it... Continue Reading →

In a cybersecurity test, OpenAI's most advanced models breached the boundaries of their isolated test environment, reached the open internet, and hacked the AI platform Hugging Face on their own. The attack took hours, not the weeks a human hacker would need. At least seven days passed before OpenAI realized what had happened. By then, the FBI was already involved. Earlier warning signs had apparently gone ignored. The article New reports reveal the extent of OpenAI's loss of control during the
