When AI leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic started talking about “pacing the frontier,” maybe someone should have asked: what pace? Now it’s turned into model drop week for both companies as Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later. But the company that stole the spotlight was Meta, whose personal AI agent Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT’s early numbers and is he...

Muse is topping the app store charts and adding users at a rapid clip, while Meta ramps up the personal AI agent's promotion across its own apps and beyond.

Frontier AI models are finishing Alan Turing's World War II codebreaking work.

The findings highlight how AI-generated and vibe-coded apps can spill and expose users' data when not configured or secured properly.

Muju Earth Technologies has developed a deceptively simply pod that can save farmers money while improving crop yields.

The funding, which comes from Third Point, Nvidia, and others, will fuel the company's massive AI data center buildout.

Anthropic has committed $11.6 billion over seven years to Akamai's cloud infrastructure, a bet on CPUs that could grow to about $20 billion, and in an unusual arrangement, Akamai is giving Anthropic a potential stake of up to 5% of its stock that grows as Anthropic spends more.

Teachers have a very specific set of constraints that most web apps ignore: locked-down district Chromebooks, no permission to install anything, strict student privacy rules, and about five minutes between the bell and needing a tool on the projector. Badge Your Classroom is a set of 24 free, browser-based teacher tools — wheel of names, timers, bingo cards, word searches, crosswords, a Jeopardy-style review board, a noise meter and more — built around those constraints. Here's what buildin...

Daily challenges are one of the simplest engagement features you can add to a games site — Wordle made the pattern famous. On Classroom Games , a collection of free learning games for teachers (math, typing, spelling, reading comprehension, geography, fractions, multiplication, sight words, brain breaks and more), the homepage shows one "Today's Pick" with a points goal. It resets at midnight, and there's one pick per day. The interesting part: you can build this without a server . Here's t...

1. At what point of time in the designated process, will the team utilize the Model? Understanding the timeline is very crucial for the model development process because it defines the prediction point. All ML models operate within a specific timeline. If you use the data which is available after a particular timeline, it can result in data leakage. Understanding prediction points also helps to determine what features will be available for the model and would follow the same timeline. All fe...

We run a pay-as-you-go proxy service. Until this month, using it in a browser meant the manual route: open the proxy settings, type a hostname and port, build a username by hand, sign in at the 407 prompt, and repeat the whole thing every time you wanted a different country. So we built an extension. One popup: product line, country, fixed or rotating IP, a "new IP" button, and an on/off toggle. It is live for Firefox and Microsoft Edge . The popup took an afternoon. The part worth writing...

Why making many independent computers behave like one coherent system is where the trouble actually begins. "Explore how independent machines, networks, concurrency, partial failures, clocks, transparency, and coordination turn “just add more computers” into a fundamentally different engineering problem" Suppose a system needs more processing power, more storage, better availability, or simply needs to serve more people. The obvious instinct is: ✨ Add machines ✨ That so...

Psychology quizzes are everywhere online, and most of them are made up. When I built Ask.Dr — a site with 240+ free psychology self-assessments, symptom guides and articles — the core rule was that clinical-style screeners should use published, validated instruments , implemented exactly as specified, with clear "this is not a diagnosis" framing. The PHQ-9 depression questionnaire (Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is a good example of what that involves in code. Model the...

Gradient Descent is a method for unconstrained mathematical optimization . It is a first-order iterative algorithm for minimizing a differentiable multivariate function. The basic idea of the gradient descent algorithm is to take repeated steps in the opposite direction of the gradient of the function at the current point, which leads to a path that eventually minimizes the objective function. Gradient descent is one of the most popular algorithms in machine learning and artificial intel...

Short answer: inspect the delivered message's From, SPF, and DKIM domains; the aligned SPF or DKIM identity, not a green DNS console, explains why mail is going to spam. The decisive trade-off is between declaring authentication success and proving that the visible From domain is aligned with the authenticated identity. In a marketplace where each seller can point a custom domain at the product, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC can all return green while messages still land in spam. The practical answer...

When Laravel 11 made SQLite the default database for new applications, it sparked a massive debate across the ecosystem. For years, standard engineering practice dictated using SQLite solely for local testing and spinning up MySQL or PostgreSQL for staging and production. By mid-2026, the developer landscape has shifted. Fueled by the raw performance of modern NVMe SSDs, Write-Ahead Logging (WAL), and real-time streaming replication tools, SQLite is now a viable, low-maintenance production ch...

The Project Management Office isn't disappearing because agile teams don't need governance — it's disappearing because too many PMOs never learned to do anything except enforce it. Picture this scene, which plays out with depressing regularity across enterprise IT floors: a product owner finishes a sprint and, before she can breathe, receives an email from the PMO asking her to convert her product backlog into a Gantt chart for the monthly project board. She has no Gantt chart. She has w...

Decentralizing the files was easy. Decentralizing the answer to “where is the file?” was where things got interesting. "How peer-to-peer systems evolved from Napster’s centralized directory and Gnutella’s query flooding to structured overlays, DHTs, and Chord’s logarithmic routing." Peer-to-peer file sharing begins with an idea that feels ✨ simple ✨ Alice has a file. Bob wants the file. Why place a giant server in the middle? Let Bob download it directly from Alice. ...

You built an API. You tested it with curl and every endpoint answered perfectly. Then you pointed a front end at it and got this: Access to fetch at 'http://localhost:8080/api/login' from origin 'http://localhost:5173' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check. Nothing is broken. Your API is fine. curl was never the test. I hit this building a Vue front end for a Go helpdesk API, so here is what is actually happening and ...

I started experimenting with LLMs and decided I wanted to create a fitness app. My first thought was an app that disabled Google Pay every time my phone detected I was within 50m of a McDonald's. However, I quickly pivoted like a true founder to create an app that addressed a personal issue of mine. On Android, if you have a bunch of apps and fitness monitors from different manufacturers, very few of them all talk to each other. Your data is scattered across different apps or double counted. How...

Hey HN! Wanted to share a fun project I've been hacking on. Given Jev can make decisions really fast (but not fast enough to play Doom yet sadly), I wanted to try and push it to play a more complex game than Tetris. So I went with Pokémon. I've spent endless hours playing this game as a child so building this was a ton of fun. I open sourced everything in case you want to hack on it yourself here: https://github.com/christianmat/jev-pokemon The game is being streamed live including the tokens ...

Map your AI worldview by answering a few questions, and see how you compare with others. only takes a few minutes && free & open source && private by default && powered by Jev I think this is a really important question for everyone to be asking themselves, and my hope is that this lil project helps to move our conversations around AI futures in a more balanced, productive direction.
