Saudi AI Firm Launches Halal Chatbot

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-13 23:00:45

Companies with AI chatbots love to highlight their capability as translators, but they still default to English, both in function and in the information they are trained on. With that in mind, Humain, an AI company in Saudi Arabia, has now launched an Arabic-native chatbot. The bot, called Humain Chat, runs on the Allam large language model, according to Bloomberg, which the company claims was trained on “one of the largest Arabic datasets ever assembled” and is the “world’s most advanced Arabi

Meta Defector Issues Devastating Psychological Takedown of Tech CEOs

Nick Clegg, a former Meta executive who left the company at the start of this year, has led many lives. Before jumping ship to the tech world, he was a deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, a leader of the UK's Liberal Democrat party, and a member of Parliament — and still, the hubris and wealth he saw in Silicon Valley startled even the well-heeled British politico.

An illustrated guide to OAuth

news.ycombinator.com Aditya Bhargava 2025-12-13 18:29:48

OAuth was first introduced in 2007. It was created at Twitter because Twitter wanted a way to allow third-party apps to post tweets on users' behalf. Take a second to imagine designing something like that today. How would you do it? One way would just be to ask the user for their username and password. So you create an unofficial Twitter client, and present the user a login screen that says "log in with Twitter". The user does so, but instead of logging into Twitter, they're actually sending the

Synchronized demand is the moment a large cohort of clients acts almost together. In a service with capacity $\mu$ requests per second and background load $\lambda_0$, the usable headroom is $H = \mu - \lambda_0 > 0$. When $M$ clients align—after a cache expiry, at a cron boundary, or as a service returns from an outage—the bucketed arrival rate can exceed $H$ by large factors. Queues form, timeouts propagate, retries synchronize, and a minor disturbance becomes a major incident. The task is to
