This website counts titles containing the standalone word "AI", case-sensitive and word-bounded. "OpenAI" doesn't count. "AI-powered" does. There's a toggle for a wider vocabulary: artificial intelligence spelled out, LLM, GPT, and model and vendor names. Some quick stats: - 14.4% of new HN titles this year, against 10.9% in 2025. On the wider vocabulary, 21.9% and 16.1%. - First month above 1% was Oct 2016. Above 5%, Feb 2023. Above 10%, May 2025. - Over the last five years the quietest month...

New findings shed light on what’s making the parasite less treatable using the drug that’s considered a first line of defense.

Xbox and Ikea collab alert! This unique nine-piece collection for gamers arrives this fall and has a slew of Easter eggs.

HelloFresh’s organic meal kit Green Chef offers transparent sourcing, layered cooking, and trustworthy gluten-free dishes.

Pet owners, rescue agencies, and wildlife groups are calling for new safeguards as AI makes it harder to tell whether animals, from polar bears to house cats, are real or fake.

Ikea has teamed up with Microsoft to launch a new assortment of gaming-inspired furniture and home accessories, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the first Xbox console. The nine-piece Yxstaby collection (good luck pronouncing that) includes a TV stand, laptop stand, side table, lounge chair, and multi-functional toolbox, with standout products like a stool, cushion, […]

Bill Gates has been reflecting a lot on AI lately, and the process has triggered a stark awakening. Once a staunch AI optimist, the Microsoft cofounder is now deeply pessimistic about what AI means for our collective future. Having been conspicuously quiet on AI issues recently, Gates is back with a nearly 6,000-word essay seeking […]

Runable says 60%–70% of its 1 trillion-plus token usage in the last 90 days came from paying customers.

The glasses, called Legato Frames, integrate the company’s patented hearing-assistance technology into the arms of eyewear frames.

A sample application built by IBM Bob to demonstrate reasoning and implementing plug-and-play tool calling Introduction to IBM Granite 4.2 IBM Granite 4.2 represents a significant leap forward in enterprise-grade, open-source large language models. Designed with standard architectural efficiency, Granite 4.2 natively integrates hybrid capabilities: extended multi-turn reasoning (Chain-of-Thought via <think> blocks) paired with high-precision XML-based tool calling....

Most chains let anyone push a token balance into any address for free. That is why "holders" is a nearly meaningless metric almost everywhere — an airdrop to 100,000 addresses costs the sender gas and nothing else. The XRP Ledger works differently, and the difference is worth understanding if you are building anything that reads token data. There is no token contract XRPL tokens are not contracts. Issuance, transfer, trading and freezing are protocol features. A token is a bal...

Your AI reviewer just spent 40,000 tokens on one pull request. Who pays for that? Most teams never ask. Then the invoice lands. Then the panic starts. I test free model servers constantly. I read rate-limit headers. I count silent failures. I watch streams stall at minute three. MonkeyCode is an open-source project with a free tier. It offers free model access and a free server option. The current allowance is 10 million tokens as of August 2026. Disclosure: This article was prepared as...

German tax firms have a strange relationship with AI. According to the awicontax Zukunftskompass 2026, 71 percent of them see AI as a key future technology. Only 18 percent use it actively in daily work. The same survey of 1,500 mid-market clients shows people expect AI to make tax services cheaper (36.6%) and faster (32.8%), not more personal. So the demand is there, the will is there, the gap is something else. The gap is one paragraph in the German criminal code. §203 StGB. Most agency pos...

A clean sample can sound stronger than it is. Someone checks a handful of items, finds no exceptions, and the sentence wants to become broader than the evidence: the process worked, the control operated, the population was clean. That sentence is where I stopped trusting the product unless the math had the same status as the API. If a compliance audit sampling tool emits a confidence claim, the confidence procedure is production code. It needs adversarial tests. A formula in a notebook is too...

How to eliminate cascading failures from LLM rate limits using exponential backoff, circuit breakers, and tiered fallback chains. The Bottleneck in Production Most production LLM integrations start with a direct SDK call wrapped in a naive try/except block. During quiet periods, it works fine. But when traffic spikes, your application hits provider Token-Per-Minute (TPM) or Request-Per-Minute (RPM) limits, throwing HTTP 429 errors. The immediate reaction is often an uncontr...
