Here’s the tech powering ICE’s deportation crackdown

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-10-01 23:00:00

President Donald Trump made countering immigration one of his flagship issues during last year’s presidential campaign, promising an unprecedented number of deportations. In his first eight months in office, that promise turned into around 350,000 deportations, a figure that includes deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (around 200,000), Customs and Border Protection (more than 132,000), and almost 18,000 self-deportations, according to CNN. ICE has taken center stage in Trump’s

Close the loop: analytics that teach your chatbot to fix itself

news.ycombinator.com Hoverbot Team 2025-09-28 16:37:01

Many chatbots stall for the same reason. Unanswered questions build up and nothing changes. Teams ship a release and move on. Users try again and give up. The way out is simple. Treat every miss as a signal. Capture it in a standard way. Decide whether it was noise or a real gap. Turn real gaps into small updates in guardrails or knowledge. Run that loop every week. Measure how fast it moves. Results improve without bigger models. Start with lean instrumentation Analytics only works if the tra

Behind Kamathipura's Closed Doors

news.ycombinator.com Failed Architecture 2025-09-28 03:03:03

On the rickshaw, in the evening rush hour. An elderly driver, hands on the steering wheel, khaki shirt, marking his station. His neck hesitantly swivels, as if to say something: they have arrived at their destination. An alien territory in the white-washed city. Coquettish beckonings are lined up on fractured doors as street lamps in the narrow alleys. Collapsing buildings constrict ventilation and light. A landlord’s greed is made manifest: two-storeyed houses buried beneath off-balanced extens

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-27 23:31:22

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support Resizing an image is one of those programming tasks that seems simple, but has some rough edges. One common mistake is forgetting to handle the EXIF orientation, which can make resized images look very different from the original. Last year I wrote a create_thumbnail tool to resize images, and today I released a small update. Now it’s aware of EXIF orientation, and it no longer mangles these images. This is possible thanks to a new ver

This Wearable Isn't Telepathic, but It Knows What You Want to Say

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-01 23:00:05

Telepathy is, until proven otherwise, still science fiction. But a new wearable announced this week aims to bring the world closer to silent communication, though it's more about using brain signals than the X-Men superpower. Alterego, developed by the MIT Media Lab, is a peripheral neural interface that allows us to converse with machines, artificial intelligence assistants and humans, without using our voice or externally observable movements. We first saw the Alterego as a prototype in 2018

How to Use Claude Code Subagents to Parallelize Development

news.ycombinator.com Zach Wills 2025-09-28 07:21:18

In my last post I talked about how I spent a week heads down using AI to work on a greenfield engineering metrics tool. As I built it, I’d often navigate the web app and spot things that needed to be fleshed out. Sometimes it was a small typo; other times it was a bigger feature that was still TODO. At one point I had Claude Code redesign the homepage to make it more lively. In doing so, it added some new functionality that didn’t fully exist yet: A “View All Insights” link that would show you

Life, work, death and the peasant: Rent and extraction

This is the third piece of the fourth part of our series (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb) looking at the lives of pre-modern peasant farmers – a majority of all of the humans who have ever lived. Last time, we started looking at the subsistence of peasant agriculture by considering the productivity of our model farming families under basically ideal conditions: relatively good yields and effectively infinite land.

The all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup truck is dead. Long live the extended-range Ram 1500 REV (once called the Ramcharger).

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port.

An embarrassing failure of the US patent system: Nintendo's latest patents

The last 10 days have brought a string of patent wins for Nintendo. Yesterday, the company was granted US patent 12,409,387, a patent covering riding and flying systems similar to those Nintendo has been criticized for claiming in its Palworld lawsuit (via Gamesfray). Last week, however, Nintendo received a more troubling weapon in its legal arsenal: US patent 12,403,397, a patent on summoning and battling characters that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted with alarmingly litt
