Meta will sell you refurbished Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - how to find them

zdnet.com Jason Hiner 2025-11-29 05:29:00

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store.

AI’s coding evolution hinges on collaboration and trust

news.ycombinator.com Rina Diane Caballar 2025-11-28 23:24:13

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the coding sphere, with AI coding tools completing source code, correcting syntax errors, creating inline documentation, and understanding and answering questions about a codebase. As the technology advances beyond automating programming tasks, the idea of full autonomy looms large. Is AI ready to be a real coder? A new paper says not yet—and maps out exactly why.

Anatomy of a Python Loop

news.ycombinator.com Oren Cohen 2025-11-26 02:42:22

Learn Python loops the fun way by rolling dice, casting fireballs, and finally understanding what continue really does. Last time, when we built our little dice-rolling function, we learned how to package up logic into reusable blocks. One die roll at a time was cool… but any tabletop nerd knows the real action starts when you need to roll lots of dice. 3d6 for ability scores. 8d6 for a fireball spell. Or the cruel 10d10 your DM makes you roll when things go really sideways. So how do we te

Olympiads are international student intellectual competitions in which students from across the world go toe-to-toe answering questions in mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry, and more.

Cracks are forming in Meta’s partnership with Scale AI

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-11-29 11:34:05

It’s only been since June that Meta invested $14.3 billion in the data-labeling vendor Scale AI, bringing on CEO Alexandr Wang and several of the startup’s top executives to run Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). But the relationship between the two companies is already showing signs of fraying.

SQLite's documentation about its durability properties is unclear

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Ayer 2025-11-29 08:30:29

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost
