The rise of async AI programming

news.ycombinator.com Braintrust Team 2025-10-05 11:20:19

19 August 2025 Ankur Goyal I spend a decent amount of time reviewing code I didn't write. An AI agent takes a detailed problem description, writes code (primarily Typescript, Rust, and Python), adds tests, and commits the changes to a branch. I tap back in when everything's ready for review. This used to feel like a futuristic scenario, but it's how I work now, and it's how many developers are starting to work. The shift is subtle but powerful: instead of writing code line by line, we're learn

Netflix’s best movies deserve more time on the big screen

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-05 16:00:00

Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations — the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film’s premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won’t get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all. Wake Up Dead Man isn’t alone. Netflix was very pr

OpenAI's fix for hallucinations is simpler than you think

Hector Roqueta Rivero/Moment via Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways OpenAI says AI hallucination stems from flawed evaluation methods. Models are trained to guess rather than admit ignorance. The company suggests revising how models are trained.

I spent $20 on Codex and got 24 days of coding work done in 6 hours - but there's a big catch

Gmail has been surfacing shipment tracking for some time now, but Google will now add a separate view just for remembering the things you have ordered.

Tonverk is Elektron’s new polyphonic sample mangler and groovebox

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-05 20:36:45

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl

Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’

It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction about black hole mergers.
