Microsoft asked its employees to return to the office three days per week last year, and it's now upping this requirement to four days a week for most Xbox employees.

TP-Link, one of the world's leading manufacturers of consumer Wi-Fi routers, is in a precarious position in the US. The company just launched its first Wi-Fi 8 routers, but can't bring them here because of President Donald Trump's foreign router ban.

General Motors is still very much in the business of selling gas-guzzling trucks and massive SUVs. But if you listen to its leadership, the Detroit giant is rapidly transforming into a nimble, software-defined tech player with a tightened grip on AI. That was the pitch today, when GM hosted its tech-focused Onward event to unveil […]
The Detroit automaker wants your next vehicle to be a personal assistant, a best friend, and an autonomous errand-runner.
This is the kind of security issue that was found and prevented by AI, but is also a high risk because of AI.

I am a person who does editing and digital designing. I used to use this tool, remove.bg, for getting transparent PNGs from either stock images or my own images. It was good, fast, free, and convenient. The only caveats for me were the export resolution limits and a privacy factor, that is, my images got uploaded to their servers. Recently, remove.bg announced that they are shutting down the standalone website and moving to inside Canva only. This really made me sad. I have been using this tool for a long time now. So, I made my own open-source tool, RMBG, which is: 1. Privacy-focused: the im…
Hi HN, I'm Ben from Synteq. We're a cloud provider who has - until now - mostly sold GPU clusters, VMs, and block storage. Yesterday we launched Apps and Functions, our first move into PaaS.

Build anything with a UI on Apps (can use other providers, Synteq vps’, etc in the product) Prizes: - 1st: NVIDIA DGX Spark - 2nd: A flamethrower and half a cow (butchered, packed, delivered) - 3rd: AirPods Max, $250 in Chipotle, and a tin of Zyns We debated whether the prize list should make sense... It doesn’t. Details: Format: virtual, solo…

I have built a note taking, to-do application, what makes this different then others? This app targets to make note taking fun, and efficient. - Most important feature it's fast. Performance wise, and usage wise. It's a combination of convenient, clever (actually obvious) keyboard shortcuts, and focused optimizations to make it extremely simple to take notes fast. - This is completely hand crafted application, Not an AI slop, nor AI assisted. And, a lot of thought has been put to architect the app, and design. - Stores all notes in a simple text file, so personal data is never locked down. If…
Hi, HN. I am Magnus from Sweden with a side project: Riff is an iPhone calendar where you can zoom smoothly from half a year to a single day, and every stop on the way is a working calendar. You create, edit, and reschedule with your other events in view. As with a paper planner, you find a free spot and type only what you need. This is an idea I had for several years, but only now, with AI-assisted development, has it become feasible. Still, it took four months and 1,400 commits trying different concepts and, in the end, fine-tuning the feel and usability. I have since learned that the idea…

Hi HN, I’m Anil. I wanted to test the waters for a cloud computing site I created. It connects developers with access to the global compute using a unified API. It’s like a compute Marketplace. You state what you need (region, price point, performance target) and deploy the same way, no matter which provider is underneath. I also benchmark every server and publish the results alongside per-second pricing. Stack: The nodes that get created are basically Cloud Hypervisor VMMs on Ubuntu. I used Linux networking (VXLAN/NAT) to do all of the VPC and IP configs. Disclaimer: This is early and th…
What pawmc is (from the blog post): It’s an LLM chat app with minimal system prompt and no tools/web-search by design. It stores most important context across your conversations in isolated buckets, called “diaries” and “topics”. This means that when you start a conversation in { diary: personal, topic: books }, the AI receives your first message along with summaries of that diary and that topic. It’s close in concept to Karpathy’s LLM Wiki, but simpler, easier to wrap your head around and maintain — no extra tooling and no different types of documents: it’s just your conver…

Hi there. I was engineer number 3 at Eventbrite and founding engineer at Reforge. I've created a dozen or so startups myself and have worked in many others, like Instacart. All this time, no one knew that I was a convicted felon. It wasn't exactly a topic that came up, but it was certainly something that I never brought up. When you're a convicted felon, people look at you as if you are tainted. I was unable to rent apartments in San Francisco. I was unable to get a job directly after being released from prison. It's funny because when you owe the state $17,000 in restitution and you can't ge…
Proposed port brings 64-bit Windows apps within reach
Hi HN, I’m Joe. I’m a data engineer, and I built Datachef because I got tired of maintaining the disjointed data stack (Fivetran, Airbyte, Airflow, Snowflake, Redshift, S3, dbt, Looker, Tableau, a reverse-ETL tool, etc.) and being a middleman for business users that just wanted to self serve. Datachef is one managed platform where you can: - Connect your business systems (Salesforce, Marketo, Hubspot, etc.) and/or databases (Postgres, MySQL) in a few clicks. Your data lake is synced in minutes. - Explore your data via natural language or write SQL directly. - Model how data is combined, f…

In an effort to develop new forms of reading, I’ve built a minimalistic Bible app (only on iOS for now), called John 1:1. The Bible is well-suited because it: (i) has a history of driving reading innovations and revolutions (e.g., 2nd century: scroll -> codex; Gutenberg in Mainz, 1454: codex -> movable metal type; Estienne in Geneva, 1551: introduction of verse numbers); (ii) remains popular and widespread, with public domain translations in many languages (the app ships ten translations in seven languages); and (iii) is intrinsically self-linking and annotated over millennia (31,102 verses…

This year’s Nobel Prize in economics is about how expectations affect the economy. News about AI’s impact on work, tariffs, and oil supply shocks makes this work feel especially relevant. I don’t have a background in economics, and it was not obvious to me how expectations connect to policy, so I wanted to build a page that, at least in a small way, made that connection clear and sharpened my thinking on the subject. I directed the work and edited the prose heavily, collaborating with AI on research, code, and drafting. The model is essentially a three-equation linear system; the model…
