5 surprise products Samsung could unveil at Unpacked today - including smart glasses

Officially, we know very little about what will be shown on the big day, but that isn't to say that teaser information doesn't exist. Ever since the last Unpacked event back in January, several leaks and rumors have cropped up online, providing a view into what could be shown off on July 9. Also: What to ex

Show HN: Dev atrophy test – Can you still code without AI?

Hey HN, I'm Per from Scrimba (YC S20), the code-learning platform. There's been a lot of talk lately about whether AI tools are causing skill atrophy amongst developers. We get a front-row seat to this, and we see more and more students struggle with basic concepts, and building apps on their own. This is almost always a consequence of relying too much on ChatGPT and vibe coding tools. So we built a small side project: https://devatrophy.com It's a test of your core web dev knowledge — no ha

Ford’s New Plan Makes Buying a Car or EV Surprisingly Easy This Summer

On the surface, Ford’s latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its “employee pricing for all” campaign and rolling out an aggressive “Zero, Zero, Zero” summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days.

The Hidden Cost of OpenAI’s Genius

OpenAI is the undisputed poster child of the AI revolution, the company that forced the world to pay attention with the launch of ChatGPT.

The EV can do remarkable things, but it's positioned as more of an off-road brand magnet than a sensible purchase. The Gen 2 Quad R1T (truck) starts at $115,990, and its R1S (SUV) counterpart starts at $121,990. The Gen 2 Quad lineup packs serious power. The four motors combine to give it 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque. It ca
