President Trump has plans to meet on Friday with China's President Xi Jinping, and the two are expected to discuss the fate of the Chinese-owned social media platform. That means the deadline of Wednesday, Sept. 17, may pass before there's a definitive resolution on the matter. The key question is whe

My First Year Without an iPhone

Last October, I switched off my iPhone, removed the SIM card, and inserted it into a Nokia 2780 that I ordered off the internet. I deactivated and archived my Instagram, left all the group chats, and got in touch with my European friends through email. Now, a full calendar year later, I can say without hesitation that I am never, ever going back. My north star Flip phones are somehow a contentious topic.

Semlib Semlib is a Python library for building data processing and data analysis pipelines that leverage the power of large language models (LLMs). Semlib provides, as building blocks, familiar functional programming primitives like map , reduce , sort , and filter , but with a twist: Semlib's implementation of these operations are programmed with natural language descriptions rather than code.

Programming Deflation

The genies are out of the bottle. Let’s take as a given that augmented coding is steadily reducing the cost, skill barriers, and time needed to develop software.

How does air pollution impact your brain?

news.ycombinator.com Written By 2025-10-01 00:04:23

Image credit: Ionut Stefan We’ve known for some time that air pollution is bad for human health. However, the focus was mostly on the lungs, and to some extent, the heart. After all, airborne pollutants are inhaled through the lungs and can reach the heart through the bloodstream, so it’s not surprising these take the brunt of the damage. But somewhere along the way, it became somewhat mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of

The Culture Novels as a Dystopia

A couple of people have mentioned to me: “we need more fiction examples of positive AI superintelligence – utopias like the Culture novels”. And they’re right, AI can be tremendously positive, and some beacons lit into the future could help make that come around. But one of my hobbies is “oppositional reading” – deliberately interpreting novels counter to the obvious / intended reading.
