The quality of AI-assisted software depends on unit of work management

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 18:06:03

The craft of AI-assisted software creation is substantially about correctly managing units of work. When I was new to this emerging craft of AI-assisted coding, I was getting lousy results, despite the models being rather intelligent. Turns out the major bottleneck is not intelligence, but rather providing the correct context. Andrej Karpathy, while referencing my earlier article on this topic, described the work of AI-assisted engineering as “putting AI on a tight leash”. What does a tight le

Oakley Meta Vanguard are the smart glasses athletes might actually want

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 06:15:11

When Meta announced its first pair of Oakley-branded sunglasses, the HSTN frames, earlier this year, it called them "performance AI" glasses even though they only came with modest upgrades compared with Meta's Ray-Ban lineup. But the new Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, which were just unveiled at Connect, are much more clearly aimed at serious athletes and they have the features to back it up. The $499 sunglasses feature Oakley's familiar wraparound frames and shiny (swappable) lenses. They are t

Meta’s New Wraparound Smart Glasses Are the Most Oakley Oakleys You Can Buy

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-19 06:55:41

Ray-Ban wasn’t the only collaboration that got some shine at Meta Connect. The company also took the wraps (no pun intended) off a pair of wraparound shades designed by Oakley and, like its recently released HSTN smart glasses, designed more with sporty types in mind. Outside of the differing glasses shape, the $499 Meta Oakley Meta Vanguard (yes, that’s the official name in that order) specs also have a centered camera that’s meant to be better suited for capturing footage during “action” spor

Meta's Oakley Vanguard Sports Glasses Tried to Turn Me Into Xtreme Sports Guy

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 06:14:00

Jogging on a treadmill in jeans at Meta's Menlo Park campus when it's nearly 80 degrees isn't my idea of a good time. But I was curious what Meta's new wraparound smart shades, and a Garmin sports watch, would do for me. I couldn't see workout stats floating in front of my eyes, not yet at least, but I could ask for my heart rate on demand. AirPods can do that, too. But AirPods can't record my POV exercise highlight video with overlaid stats for showing off later. The new Meta Oakley Vanguard

Meta Goes Even Harder Into Smart Glasses With 3 New Models

It takes time to realize you don’t have to hold your hand out in front of you for these gestures to be recognized, but a surprisingly short amount of time to find yourself using them with very little second thought. Of course talking to Meta AI remains a key way of interacting with the glasses, but Meta hopes that adding the visual elements will enhance the chatbot experience. For example, live speech captioning and language translation is still switched on by voice—but with Meta Ray-Ban Displa

Madman Sets Up Entire Server on Disposable Vape, Hosts Its Own Website

"Vibe" coding? Try vape coding. Either the most sober — or the most nicotine-addled — individual of all time has done the improbable: hosting an entire website on a single disposable e-cigarette. According to programmer Bogdan Ionescu, it's a stunt that's meant to demonstrate just how ridiculously tricked out even one-and-done vapes have become, he shared on his blog last week.

Fede Álvarez Wrote the ‘Alien: Romulus’ Sequel to Avoid an ‘Alien 3’ Situation

Alien: Earth just dropped a chest-burstingly good episode ahead of next week’s finale (read io9’s recap here), but fans are just as eager to learn what’s next for the sci-fi series on the big screen. One who would know is Fede Álvarez, who helmed last year’s Alien: Romulus and is closely involved in its sequel. He’s not directing it, but he’s helping choose who does—and he co-wrote the script with a bit of important Alien history in mind. While some fans (ahem) think Alien 3 is actually pretty

How to motivate yourself to do a thing you don't want to do

We have an air bike in our basement. If you are unfamiliar with air bikes, they are similar to stationary bikes with foot pedals but also have handles you push and pull with your arms. It uses air resistance, so the harder you pedal and move your arms, the higher the resistance. It’s also known as an assault bike. 😬 Which is apt, because it’s a butt-kicker of a workout.

Sure, it’s easy to argue for the importance of spending on science by pointing out that many of today’s most useful technologies had their origins in government-funded R&D. The internet, CRISPR, GPS—the list goes on and on. All true. But this argument ignores all the technologies that received millions in government funding and haven’t gone anywhere—at least not yet.
