Tech firms are blaming AI for mega device and console price rises
Xbox consoles, Nintendo's new Switch 2 and Valve's Steam Deck are just some of the gadgets seeing price hikes in recent months.

Show HN: KV-psi, using Linux PSI to to trim an LLM KV cache
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 taking over; the real danger is AI serving just the few
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

Recursive self improvement for human skills
I've been thinking a lot about humans potentially losing important skills due to using AI and I was wondering how we can get better at getting and maintaining skills. Can wee gamify learning important skills for the future? Study harder what improves studying skills (using AI if needed). And get that knowledge out to more people. Humanity needs to be at the top of its game to deal with AI in a way that doesn't lead to skill and trust degradation. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

How Do AI Agents Remember Things Between Conversations?
<p>AI agents do not truly remember like humans do. Instead, they store useful information outside the chat, retrieve it later, and inject it back into the model when needed. That is what makes an agent feel continuous across sessions instead of resetting every time a conversation ends.</p> <h3> <strong>Why memory matters</strong> </h3> <p>Without memory, every chat starts from zero. The agent forgets your name, your preferences, your project context, and even decisions from previous sessions. Th

Claude Code turned every engineer into three. Now companies need more product thinkers

That detail is easy to miss in the noise of every AI productivity claim . It is also the structural shift the rest of the industry
