Silicon Valley is falling in line with Trump’s attempt to rename AI

When President Donald Trump announced his plans to rebrand artificial intelligence as "super intelligence," you'd be forgiven for being skeptical that it would catch on.

I Gave Three Broken AWS Environments to an AI On-Call Engineer. Here's What AWS DevOps Agent Found

It’s 2:00 AM. A CloudWatch alert triggers. The on-call engineer wakes up, opens five console tabs, and begins reconstructing the timeline of events from scratch. The AWS DevOps Agent is designed to handle that initial hour of painstaking analysis. AWS refers to it as a "frontier agent"- one that not only resolves incidents but prevents them before they occur. It analyzes CloudWatch metrics, CloudTrail data, VPC Flow Logs, RDS Performance Insights, and IaC stacks, subsequently providing a ro...

Show the Measured Pair Before You Approve the Page

I open a Thursday review and the page already looks finished. A side panel holds a free draft of the hero. It claims the contrast passes, and it wrote the alt text. I ask who measured the color pair on the real screen. Nobody answers, and the publish button is still armed. Would you press it on a sentence you cannot trace? That quiet is the decision I care about today. I own the call, and a keyboard user may miss contact. I can still hold the URL before it goes public. People are arguin...

Show HN: Atlas Runa – E2E AI-enhanced language learning

Hi HN! We've been working hard on Atlas Runa and it's time to share it! We built it to target three key complementary aspects of learning a language: 1. Comprehensible input - Atlas Runa learns your lexicon and then tracks it, which lets us find comprehensible input for you. This works well already. You can start reading real texts and get reading volume much earlier than you would ever be able to with textbooks! 2. The attention effect - we track your mistakes and what you forget and make sure...
