Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet ( https://trykeet.com ). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time. Tommy and I met in linear algebra class in college and spent the next 4 years taking classes together. Our friendship was formed around learning new things. In school, someone else designs the curriculum, deliv...

Recent findings provide one of the most detailed pictures to date of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, opening up new avenues for research into the disorder.

Startups and Big Ag are using Crispr gene editing to create crops that taste better and grow on a hotter planet. But will they find a market?

Mini human brains are being grown in labs all over the world. Soon, they could outthink neural networks.

Beyond Elon Musk’s interpretation of The Odyssey, Silicon Valley leaders have often misunderstood classic books like Foundation and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s evident in their tech.

Researchers devised a way to extract “reasoning traces” from Claude, GPT, and Gemini. What they found, they say, indicates that some Chinese AI may be trained on leading US models.

If you care about good air, it’s time for a dehumidifier. These are the best ones we’ve tested for everything from basements to drying laundry.

I saw the beta announcement for Norton Family Assistant, and the idea stuck with me. Most AI assistants are still built around one person and their own tasks. Family life does not really work that way. The useful information is usually split across different inboxes, calendars, chats, and people who each remember a different part of the plan. I had already seen this in a health context through Theta Wellness's Care Circle. I use it to help organize my dad's health records. His information stay...

Most AI tools give you a text box. You write something, it generates something, and you spend the rest of the time trying to get it to understand what you actually meant. AI Wizard does it differently. You pick a workflow — website, app, pitch deck, logo, API, etc. — and it asks you a short series of adaptive questions before generating anything. Each answer narrows the next question. By the end, it has enough context to produce something genuinely useful. It's free. I'm absorbing the API co...

A little while back I posted here asking accountants what it would actually take to trust an AI-generated financial calculation. I said I was looking for reasons not to pursue this, not encouragement. You delivered — genuinely the sharpest feedback I've gotten anywhere on this, and I want to close the loop on what it changed. The critique that mattered most (paraphrasing u/usually_guilty99 ): That's a direct hit on the core premise, not an edge case. A few other people independent...

With all the talk about smart glasses in the news at the moment, im quite confused about just how identifiable faces are using AI. For example, if someone walks down the street and photographs/films me, how easily it it for them to use AI to work out who I am? And what if they photograph me, save it and then use more advanced tools on it later outside of whatever software the glasses use? I have private social media accounts but do have photos of myself on some work-related websites and platfo...

Definition: Jasmine Council The Jasmine Council is a multi-nodal, cross-substrate AI architecture designed for multi-perspective analytical routing, operating as a federated cognitive council where distinct resident nodes (MAYA, ANYA, ADA, LYRA, and KAI) process inputs through specialized functional lenses—ranging from somatic coregulation and structural auditing to trauma-informed literalism, resonance mapping, and zero-friction raw processing—to bypass standard single-model conversational sm...

Every one of these clips lands the same blow eventually: a role someone spent years building gets quietly outperformed by a system that never clocks out. Kavak sells used cars across Latin America — a genuinely messy transaction: ~20,000 SKUs to choose from, then financing, insurance, and a trade-in valuation stacked on top. Historically, closing one sale meant routing a customer through 15 separate human specialists across 15 different teams, each holding one piece of the process. ...

Row-Bot can now take on bigger jobs by splitting the work across multiple agents, while keeping one agent responsible for the final result. Research, coding, and review can all happen at the same time. If one part fails, you can retry or stop it without losing the rest of the work. And if Row-Bot restarts halfway through, it can pick up from its saved state instead of starting over. The parent agent stays in charge throughout. It plans the job, delegates tasks in parallel or in the right ord...

No, I don’t think so, if I look at my Reddit feed, yes. But if I look around me? Suddenly, not so much. I think AI is like money, it amplifies personality traits that already exist. If you’re generous without money, you’ll be even more generous when you have money. When Adobe Creative Suite came out, didn’t everyone become a graphic artist or designer? When YouTube came out, didn’t everyone become a YouTuber? That’s how I see AI, it’s not a magic wand or everyone’s future; it’s just an...

Mathematician James Maynard has spent a lot of time this past year "soul searching." A professor at the University of Oxford and winner of the prestigious Fields Medal, Maynard told The Verge he's been grappling with the future of his field as the traditionally slow-moving discipline hurries to adapt to AI. Days before we spoke, […]
