Data and ML scientists - A life in the middle Despite AI eating the world and data becoming one of the most important things for every company on the planet, but getting models from prototype to production is still pretty problematic.

Planting flags in AI coding territory

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-28 10:39:02

Answering this often triggers more questions that shouldn't surprise anyone. Do you have some workable requirements? Have you created meaningful tests aligned with those? Can you understand and fix your code when those tests fail? Are you seeing opportunities to delete code in a way that enhances its value by reducing its liability? In all of these questions, code is ingrained with purpose, hampered by ambiguity, and therefore very much human, even when it lies forgotten in some machine wher

‘Dosa Divas’ Is a ‘Spicy’ New Game About Fighting Capitalism With Food

wired.com Megan Farokhmanesh 2026-03-27 05:30:00

As protesters faced off against ICE agents and law enforcement in Los Angeles, game developers gathered just a few miles away for Summer Game Fest. They’d come to the annual show in early June to show off their games and make professional connections. The team at Outerloop Games was no different. But the studio, led and staffed by brown and Black developers, many of whom are immigrants themselves, had extra precautions to consider: “In case of an ICE raid,” says game director Chandana Ekanayake

Google’s Gemini transparency cut leaves enterprise developers ‘debugging blind’

Join the event trusted by enterprise leaders for nearly two decades. VB Transform brings together the people building real enterprise AI strategy. Learn more Google‘s recent decision to hide the raw reasoning tokens of its flagship model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, has sparked a fierce backlash from developers who have been relying on that transparency to build and debug applications. The change, which echoes a similar move by OpenAI, replaces the model’s step-by-step reasoning with a simplified summary.

I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to significantly improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've spent large portions of my life looking for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones. Admittedly, that sounds rather dramatic, but growing up with only budget models meant I was constantly tweaking device settings to squeeze every bit of juice out of their batteries. Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it wit

Fast Rust Builds (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-28 23:02:02

Fast Rust Builds It’s common knowledge that Rust code is slow to compile. But I have a strong gut feeling that most Rust code out there compiles much slower than it could. As an example, one fairly recent post says: With Rust, on the other hand, it takes between 15 and 45 minutes to run a CI pipeline, depending on your project and the power of your CI servers. This doesn’t make sense to me. rust-analyzer CI takes 8 minutes on GitHub actions. It is a fairly large and complex project with 200k

You can now create custom GPTs with any OpenAI model, but there’s a catch

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-29 07:39:15

If you’ve been experimenting with custom GPTs inside ChatGPT, here’s a welcome upgrade: OpenAI now lets users pick from all available models when building or running a custom GPT, not just GPT-4o. Here’s how it works (and what’s missing). What are custom GPTs again? If you have no idea what this is, you’re not alone. OpenAI launched custom GPTs in late 2023, but the feature hasn’t exactly taken off the way the company probably hoped. Here’s how OpenAI describes them: “…custom versions of Chat

In recent years, numerous plaintiffs—including publishers of books, newspapers, computer code, and photographs—have sued AI companies for training models using copyrighted material. A key question in all of these lawsuits has been how easily AI models produce verbatim excerpts from the plaintiffs’ copyrighted content. For example, in its December 2023 lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times Company produced dozens of examples where GPT-4 exactly reproduced significant passages from Times sto

Weak Link: Two-factor authentication is designed to harden device security and make unauthorized access even trickier for bad actors. In the imperfect world we live in, however, there's almost always a weak link, and one popular delivery method for 2FA is no exception.

Tech giants unleash AI on weather forecasts: are they any good?

A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet. These challenge the orthodoxy of traditional physics-based computer forecasts that have been incrementally developed and improved over many decades. But are the machine learning models any good? The weather is a national obsession for us Brits, and it is no wonder given the huge changes that are seen and felt from one day to the next.

Literate What is Literate programming? Literate programming is a style of programming invented by Donald Knuth, where the main idea is that a program's source code is made primarily to be read and understood by other people, and secondarily to be executed by the computer. This frees the programmer from the structure of a program imposed by the computer and means that the programmer can develop programs in the order of the flow of their thoughts.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT PCIe Benchmark: 8GB vs. 16GB

On store shelves, AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT looks like a compelling option for gamers. It's affordable, backed by a trusted brand, and appears well-equipped for modern gaming. But there's a catch: the 8GB version is severely constrained by its limited video memory – a technical bottleneck that may not show up in standard benchmarks.
