The best robot vacuums are the ones you barely have to think about, and the Roborock Saros 20 fits that description well. It’s why it’s one of our favorite robovac / mop hybrids, and thanks to Prime Day, you can get it on sale at Amazon and Roborock for $1,359.99 ($240 off), a new low […]
The national conversation about the value of education is currently dominated by speculation about the risks and positive potential of AI. Whatever your own perspective on that debate, I hope you’ll be glad to know that MIT is also working on a deeply important but comparatively old-fashioned challenge: American high school students’ startlingly uneven access…
Our hands are the nimblest parts of our bodies, coordinating 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments to perform countless nuanced movements and gestures. So far, robots have been notoriously bad at mimicking that dexterity, in part because researchers struggle to capture what is actually going on under our skin in order…
With a test being developed at MIT, diagnosing pneumonia and other lung conditions could someday be as easy as breathing into a tube. The test, dubbed PlasmoSniff, is a portable, chip-scale sensor that traps and detects biomarkers, synthetic compounds indicating disease. The idea is that a person would first breathe in nanoparticles that are specially…

Clumsy logging implementation squirrels away data without regard for cost
During the AI and Society Forum, leading MIT researchers examined critical questions about AI’s influence on employment and democracy.

The Claude in Slack app is dead, long live Claude in Slack
What if you could get design inspiration (from HackerNews, ProductHunt, Awwwards, Mobbin) while Claude is thinking directly from the terminal? When Claude's thinking, I'm typically doing one of these things: 1/ Scrolling LinkedIn 2/ Checking Slack 3/ Improving my agentic processes (e.g., tweaking skills) 4/ Going to Awwwards.com to look at beautiful design But since I'm a terminal fanboy (I set a monospaced font in Slack so it looks more like a terminal), I don't want to type any URLs. I want to

In the past few months, I’ve been building and shipping things extremely fast. Some of the MVPs that I built for my friends were completely vibe-coded and shipped within a day to show a demo. While it was a great experience working with AI tools, I wanted to make sure some basics were followed, decisions of what and why written down, obvious things not skipped and that it could scale. That’s why I built persist-os. It’s a CLI that runs locally. No network required. It records the architecture de

The security implications of advanced AI models were immediately clear to Visa’s technology team when they began testing Anthropic’s Mythos model . Just weeks into Project Glasswing, the team observed how quickly attackers can identify and weaponize vulnerabilities in critical code bases, creating security risks, explained Rajat Taneja, Visa’s president of technology, during a call to prepare for his session at VB Transform 2026 , VentureBeat’s upcoming agentic AI event. Visa is among the compan

Tesla is pushing back on claims that its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system caused a fatal Texas crash, where a speeding Model 3 barreled into a home, killing a 76-year-old woman inside. In a reply on X, Tesla AI head Ashok Elluswamy says the driver "manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to […]
When LLMs first hit the scene I had assumed one of the big use cases would be to use the LLM's vast knowledge to teach people about subjects they are interested in. I thought there would be some hot app that let you suggest a subject (e.g. CUDA programming) and the app would interactively teach you and test your knowledge along the way. How come this use case never took off? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48649857 Points: 4 # Comments: 8

While many enterprises have already begun integrating AI-generated images, visuals, graphics and videos into their production workflows — there is also a growing pool of data and subjective commentary indicating AI imagery ultimately looks non-distinct, monotonous, and too unoriginal to ensure a brand and its assets stand out from the pack. That it's "AI slop," in other words. AI creative tools startup Krea is hoping to change that trend by opening up the weights to its new frontier AI image mod

In this tutorial, we build a multilingual ASR and speech translation pipeline with NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2. We load the model on a GPU-enabled runtime, prepare audio into 16 kHz mono, and run English ASR. We then translate speech into French, German, Spanish, and Italian, and extract word and segment timestamps. We export translated subtitles as an SRT file, test long-form transcription, run batch processing, and benchmark inference speed. The post How to Use NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2 for ASR, Translation
