Organizations need to transform to meet the needs of agentic AI. Meta VP of Engineering Barak Yagour opened his talk at VB Transform 2026 wearing a pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, a small sign of how far AI has already worked its way into physical life. His argument went further: enterprise infrastructure was built for humans, not for agents, and it's starting to show. Yagour, who leads its data infrastructure organization, told the audience that agentic queries hitting Meta's data systems grew

<p>This is more of a thought experiment than a firm stance.</p> <p>I’m not really here to be pro-AI or anti-AI. I use it almost every day when I’m searching for concepts, learning something new, writing, or programming. So I can’t pretend it hasn’t become a useful part of how I work. At the same time, I do think there are real pros and cons to it, and I’m still not fully settled on how I feel about everything it brings with it.</p> <p>One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is whether using AI

Just an interesting thought I had while ruminating on the rapid advancement of LLMs over the past decade, particularly how amazing locally hostable open source models have gotten. If I could transport myself back to 2016 and take with me just one Dell Pro Max GB10 running Qwen3.5:122b I could probably own the world in a year or so, 6 months if I bring my image/video gen models with me. I'd be like a wizard. Just 10 years ago. All I need is a time machine. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.c

<p>The Model Context Protocol is how an AI agent gets tools. You stand up an MCP server, it advertises a set of tools with typed inputs, and the agent calls them. For a huge number of real MCP servers, those tools are thin wrappers around a database: search these records, create this row, update that field. The server is mostly a translator between JSON-RPC and SQL.</p> <p>Which raises an obvious question. If an MCP server spends its life talking to Postgres, why does it so often run somewhere f

New Delhi announced a $6.5 billion smartphone manufacturing program and a $13.3 billion semiconductor push to deepen India's electronics supply chain.

The Luddites are remembered as people who opposed machines. But while reading contemporary accounts of the 1811 1813 textile disturbances, I found that many of their complaints focused on wage cuts, deskilling, changes in labor relations rather than the existence of machinery itself. That made me think how much of today's debate around AI echoes those earlier arguments. The Industrial Revolution largely automated physical work over several decades. Large language models are automating parts of k

Both ChatGPT and Claude, Enter sends the message. I have to use Shift+Enter for line break. A few years ago, I often pressed Enter instead of Shift+Enter by mistake. I needed to click stop button to edit my input again. Recently, I have become relatively good at it. I now press Shift almost automatically when I want a line break.

How does ChatGPT Work compare with Claude Cowork for desktop automation? My testing reveals similar results, similar strengths, and one major reason Claude currently feels considerably safer right now.

I built this because I wanted to learn from my past session and align with Claude Code better right from the first prompt. I was spending a bunch of my session steering, restating the same preferences, answering questions that I felt I've answered before. By the end of a session I can now have a prompt library entry for that kind of work. I might try to help turn these into skills quickly as well.

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>Seeing a ~170× slowdown running a point-tracking model on an NVIDIA T4 compared to an A100. On A100 the tracker takes ~0.5 seconds per half-video. On T4 the same call takes ~85 seconds. Video is 47 frames at 256×256, batch 1.
