Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York's 15th congressional district in the Bronx introduced the Power To The Players Act this week.

Despite showing the storage amount on the box or the spec sheet, your new device might not actually hold as much as it states. Here are the reasons why.
I've been working on generative LEGO assembly models recently, but there are similar projects already, so I wanted to try some harder cases: specialized parts (incl. technic), multi-modal prompting (incl. using images, 3D meshes or almost any input), constrained inventory (so you could upload just parts you have), ensuring physical validity and generating buildable instructions, being able to tweak, modify or rebuild entirely an existing build etc. TL;DR the pipeline got more complex than expected and I ended up with an agentic harness leveraging recursive program synthesis, combinatorial dif…

Wikipedia’s 68m articles have been consulted trillions of times. Not bad for a website that has barely changed since it was founded 20 years ago A few years ago, I was struck by the tension between how Wikipedia was used, and how it was talked about. Everyone was on it all the time, and yet its reputation had stalled at “don’t trust it”, because it was the “free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. Clearly people were trusting it, so much so it had become part of the fabric of everyday life since it was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001. But despite the fact it now ha…

Yet a report this week from Anthropic’s offensive research team grabbed attention by describing a new, practical threat, one devoid of human characteristics or apocalyptic musings. The red team, as such i…

I made this ahead of the Ocarina of Time remake which comes out in 17 days. I remember the feeling of playing it as a kid but I hadn’t kept up with the story so I built a timeline to catch up before the Door of Time reopens. Nintendo’s own timeline is the authority here (Hyrule Historia and their chronicle page). The fun part was rethinking how to visualize it. It branches at the end of Ocarina into three eras depending on whether Link wins or loses, so each era is its own thread on the cloth. The threads meet again much later with Breath of the Wild.

Anyone else get a lot of dumb scam calls? These days I mostly get them on my mobile. I used to just ignore them, but then I got fed up and built a bot that answers my calls and wastes their time. It runs on OpenAI Live 1. Jev classifies each call as spam, scam or genuine and steers the bot accordingly. Works like a charm. All my calls go to the bot now. I can also steer it from Telegram mid-call. In this one the bot ended up accusing the scammer of being an AI :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpuTzRg8_fU Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50140472 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

By eight, children’s interests and skills are taking shape. They’re more confident readers, more strategic thinkers and curious about how things work. And while they think they’re extremely grown up, eight-year-olds still n…

Bank’s chief knowledge officer says the tech could speed up economic development from centuries to decades The World Bank is urging developing countries to kickstart the creation of “small AI” models, which can run on a mobile phone with low connectivity, to reap the full benefits of artificial intelligence. While Silicon Valley big tech firms are focused on ever more sophisticated consumer products, Paschal Donohoe, the World Bank’s chief knowledge officer, said AI could also accelerate development for emerging economies – but only if it was adapted to local needs.

The Valerion VisionMaster Max 4K Projector delivers superb blacks, great brightness, and more adjustment capabilities than many users need.
I noticed that a lot of non-technical people don’t use AI to its full extent. Like they use the wrong model for the task, the wrong reasoning effort, or vague prompts. That gap between "what the AI can do" and "what people actually get" is what I wanted to fix. So I spent the last two years in my spare time building a consumer AI product that tries to fix this issue. This is how it works: When it receives the request, an LLM decides the task type (chat, reasoning, coding, writing) and the tool calls that are needed (web search, image generation, video generation, audio generation). Then it…

Pop quiz: somebody left a command shell logged in. What do you do?
Astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence of two supermassive black holes spiraling toward a potentially spectacular collision at the center of galaxy Mrk 501. A previously unseen jet of particles revealed the likely presence of a second black hole, with observations suggesting the pair completes an orbit every 121 days. Depending on their masses, these cosmic giants could merge in as little as 100 years.

Hi HN, I built Connecting Captions, a live captioning and translation overlay for macOS that runs entirely on-device. Nothing goes over the network: no API calls, no audio leaving your machine, and it keeps working offline. I wanted live translation I could use in meetings and conversations without worrying about connectivity, latency spikes, or sending sensitive audio to a third party. The technically interesting part is a low-latency, self-correcting pipeline for speech-to-text and translation. It has two modes: Sentence mode: buffers until a sentence boundary, then translates with full con…
