Apply now for OpenAI’s $5 million grant program supporting independent research on how generative AI affects teen development, well-being, and safety.

Mathematicians at OpenAI showed that the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids flow, can sometimes “blow up.” But the massive result is not without controversy. The post AI Has Solved One of Math’s $1 Million Millennium Prize Problems first appeared on Quanta Magazine

Resistance is futile

Eric Wu, who built and ran Opendoor before stepping away in 2022, has had his new company, NavigateAI, out of stealth since May — building AI copilots that give construction workers real-time, hands-free guidance through smartphones and Meta's AI glasses, backed by $25 million from Elad Gil, Khosla Ventures, and Lennar to tackle a labor shortage severe enough that data center projects alone now need 4,000 to 5,000 workers apiece.

This is one of those projects that's been sitting in the back of my mind for years. I made a ThreeJS UI for browsing (read: re-living) the ticket stubs I've been collecting since I was 9 years old. I was going to create a whole form so that people could share their own collections but landed on just opening up a version you can use to DIY with your agent. That part is here: https://github.com/billybillymc/stubs Enjoy! Notes and feedback welcome and appreciated. Comments URL: https://news.ycombin

GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst from OpenAI are now available on AI Gateway as openai/gpt-image-2.5-flare and openai/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst . Both models generate and edit images with more natural lighting and textures, follow complex visual instructions, and handle detailed layouts and transparent backgrounds. They accept reference images for targeted edits while preserving surrounding elements. Flare is optimized for faster generation and iteration. Sunburst takes longer to gene

Every TypeScript architecture linter makes you write the rules by hand (dependency-cruiser, eslint-plugin-boundaries, Sheriff, ts-arch). Archprint does the opposite: it reads your repo's real import graph, finds the boundaries your code already respects, and turns the ones that pass a statistical confidence gate into ready-to-install lint rules, with the evidence attached (how many files conform, how many break it, how confident the inference is). The framing that drove it: your CLAUDE.md / AGEN

Hi HN, I kept running into the same problem: either I’d have the agent give me the command, run it myself with the credentials, and copy-paste the output back, or I’d let the agent run it and keep finding secrets in its output. I looked into alternatives and asked friends, but the only workable approach I found for my workflow was writing custom wrappers around CLIs to handle authentication. I got tired of the back-and-forth, rotating leaked tokens, and maintaining wrappers, so I built Keyclasp.
