Adobe's Firefly generative AI app is now available on mobile

Hack the Planet: 90s Hacker Culture vs. Today's AI Devs

There was a time when hackers didn’t have VC funding, productivity Slack channels, or GitHub Copilot whispering autocomplete incantations. They had dial-up modems, CRTs humming like insects, and a calling—etched somewhere between cyberpunk fiction and UNIX man pages—to hack the planet. Today’s AI devs?

Is documentation like pineapple on pizza?

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Idaszak 2026-04-04 17:38:17

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju

This study is part of a growing body of research warning about the risks of deploying AI agents in real-world financial decision-making. Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance. Current benchmarks, they say, emphasize accuracy and return-based metrics, which measure how well an agent can perform at its best but overlook how safely it can fail. Th

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix.
