Spiritual Influencers Say ‘Sentient’ AI Can Help You Solve Life’s Mysteries

wired.com Webb Wright 2025-10-22 10:30:00

In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework for web (If React and Svelte had a baby)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 22:26:48

What is Ripple? Currently, this project is still in early development, and should not be used in production. Ripple is a TypeScript UI framework that takes the best parts of React, Solid and Svelte and combined them into one package. I wrote Ripple as a love letter for frontend web – and this is largely a project that I built in less than a week, so it's very raw. Personally, I (@trueadm) have been involved in some truly amazing frontend frameworks along their journeys – from Inferno, where

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 09:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS

PSA: There’s now a companion podcast! We go into way more detail on YouTube / Spotify! I have now watched hundreds of founders’ sales calls.

Compiling Dinner

Compiling Dinner When you read a recipe, you’re already programming. Ingredients are inputs. Actions—chop, stir, simmer—are instructions. The kitchen is your runtime environment, and you, the cook, are the processor. If you follow the recipe to the letter, you get the expected output: a finished dish. Miss a step, and you’ve introduced a bug. Burn the onions, and you’ve hit a runtime error. Seen this way, recipes are languages, and cooking is compilation. ⸻ Recipes as Grammar A recipe might

last updated on 6 Apr 2024 Being both a musician and a software engineer, I always felt that these two areas are almost completely separated.

Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

Ford and the Birth of the Model T

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Origins of Efficiency, out September 23rd. Ford’s status as a large-volume car producer began with the predecessor to the Model T: the Model N, a four-cylinder, two-seater car initially priced at $500. At the time, the average car in the US cost more than $2,000, and it seemed nearly unimaginable that a car with the capabilities of the Model N could cost so little. In 1906, the year the Model N was introduced, Ford sold 8,500 of them, making the

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously.

Suppose we ask an LLM: “Can you tell me about Java?” What “Java” is the model thinking about? The programming language or the Indonesian island? To answer this question, we can try to understand what is going on inside the model.
