In the "Libre Barcode Project" discussion yesterday, 1bpp asked: "Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?" Yes. I had some tokens to burn and was curious... turns out, it's possible. This was put together by a mix of Gemini, GPT, and Claude (depending on which usage limits kept running out).

Like bacteria, AI needs the right conditions to grow. We look at ecommerce for proof of this.

The cutting edge, and the cutting edge already on the clock. On the frontier this week: OpenAI shipped its strongest model to ~20 vetted partners, DeepSeek open-sourced the tricks that make models fast, and a new paper squeezed more reasoning out of far less memory. The edge also left the screen: humanoid robots got their first real safety stack, and China gave AI agents ID cards. And it's already at work: GPT-5 Pro cracked a three-year immunology mystery, six of the world's top-10 banks bet $20

Built this on top of a side project (quizzy.earth). The interesting engineering problem was the best-thirds seating logic – FIFA pre-publishes a 495-row lookup table (Annexe C) covering every possible combination of third-place qualifiers. AI kept hallucinating bracket rules so I ended up reading the actual regulations PDF. Each of the 495 scenarios has up to 24,000 valid bracket arrangements; FIFA pre-commits to one per scenario so there's no ambiguity on the night. For a half-finished bracket

Hi HN! I built Bash4LLM+ because I wanted a minimal, transparent, and completely customizable way to interact with LLM APIs directly from my terminal, without having to spin up heavy Python virtual environments or pull in NPM packages on small VPS instances. It is written in pure Bash (4+) and its only strict dependencies are standard utilities like curl and jq. Some of the implementation details: - It supports standard and streaming API outputs. - It manages session history using an NDJSON flat

Xbox consoles, Nintendo's new Switch 2 and Valve's Steam Deck are just some of the gadgets seeing price hikes in recent months.

"When you have a question about the algorithm, I encourage you to replace the word 'algorithm' in your question with 'audience,'" says YouTube Senior Director of Growth and Discovery Todd Beaupré.

I thought it'd be interesting to use Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) for an LLM runtime to trim the KV cache. This is mainly useful imo for edge devices like the Jetson Orin super nano kit which have unified memory. I haven't benched much, but plan to do so more over time and see if I can make a real use of it as I run local LLMs. Let me know if it makes sense :P (I of course vibed this idea) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48702538 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Everyone feared AI would enslave humanity; but it looks like the real fight is stopping governments and Big Tech from enslaving AI for the benefit of the few. Amid the newly announced "regulation" of OpenAI's frontier models, I believe the future majority feared the most - sort of AI becoming a superpower and enslaving people - may be arriving in the opposite form. Not AI enslaving humanity. But AI being captured, controlled, and used by governments and Big Tech for the benefit of the few. So, s

A month ago there was a wave of posts and tweets about engineers walking around cafes and parks with their MacBooks propped half-open, as fully closing the lid forces sleep that stops their AI agents. Some people made snarky comments about using tmux or Amphetamine, and some defended their choice with “but I only need it sometimes, and forgetting to disable Amphetamine and finding my laptop discharged in my bag is worse.” This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent you
