AI killed the tech interview. Now what?

news.ycombinator.com Kane Narraway 2025-06-10 07:39:02

How can we do better interviews in the age of AI Absolutely nobody likes the hiring process. Not the managers hiring, not the recruitment people, and certainly not the candidates. Tech interviews are one of the worst parts of the process and are pretty much universally hated by the people taking them. We’ve all heard stories of people being asked comp sci questions about O(n) efficiency, only to connect APIs with basic middleware in their day job. I think the image below pretty much sums it up

Best Vitamins for Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails in 2025

cnet.com Taylor Leamey 2025-06-10 21:36:00

Extra certifications help you feel confident that the vitamin only contains what’s on the ingredient label. The most popular forms of vitamins are capsules, tablets and gummies. Decide which one is best for you. Some vitamins have serving sizes of three or more capsules daily. Others only require one tablet each day. Always take note of the dosage of each nutrient included in your vitamin selection. Every multivitamin will have nutrients, but they may also contain ingredients you'd rather av

I’m Not Convinced Ethical Generative AI Currently Exists

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-06-10 18:30:00

Are there generative AI tools I can use that are perhaps slightly more ethical than others? —Better Choices No, I don't think any one generative AI tool from the major players is more ethical than any other. Here’s why. For me, the ethics of generative AI use can be broken down to issues with how the models are developed—specifically, how the data used to train them was accessed—as well as ongoing concerns about their environmental impact. In order to power a chatbot or image generator, an ob

Mark Zuckerberg’s charity has eliminated its DEI programs and efforts just weeks after assuring staff it would continue supporting DEI efforts, The Guardian reports.

Microsoft Majorana 1 chip promises real quantum computing within years, not decades

Forward-looking: Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum chip called "Majorana 1" that claims will make scaled, real-world quantum computing a reality in just years rather than decades. It's palm-sized and has a delightfully retro look yet Microsoft claims it will eventually pack more theoretical computing power than all the world's current classical computers combined. The Majorana 1 comes after nearly two decades of research. The big claims come thanks to Microsoft's unique approach to the quant

Europe risks becoming a 'museum' if it doesn't innovate in AI and deregulate, Swedish PM warns

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority The era of PS3 emulation on Android is here! To some degree, at least. Android emulation geeks are abuzz with excitement over aPS3e, the first native PS3 emulator for Android phones. Sure, most of the code appears to be cobbled together from open-source PS3 emulation projects like RPCS3, Vita3K, and Termux (probably breaking their licenses), but the fact that it’s working at all is a big step forward.

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) have raised more than $1.5 billion in the past year, as tech companies hunger for power to train AI models and governments decide to commit to the industry. For example, X-energy raised $700 million this month, and Paris-based Newcleo raised $151 million last year, and one would be remiss to not mention the $700 million invested into Oklo, NuScale and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relati
