We should have the ability to run any code we want on hardware we own

Sideloading has been a hot topic for the last decade. Most recently, Google has announced further restrictions on the practice in Android. Many hundreds of comment threads have discussed these changes over the years. One point in particular is always made: “I should be able to run whatever code I want on hardware I own”. I agree entirely with this point, but within the context of this discussion it’s moot. “I should be able to run whatever code I want on hardware I own” When Google restricts y

Survey: a third of senior developers say over half their code is AI-generated

Fastly’s July 2025 survey of 791 developers found a notable difference in how much AI-generated code is making it into production. About a third of senior developers (10+ years of experience) say over half their shipped code is AI-generated — nearly two and a half times the rate reported by junior developers (0–2 years of experience), at 13%. “AI will bench test code and find errors much faster than a human, repairing them seamlessly.

Installing UEFI Firmware on ARM SBCs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 13:37:08

I am a huge fan of my Rock 5 ITX+. It wraps an ATX power connector, a 4-pin Molex, PoE support, 32 GB of eMMC, front-panel USB 2.0, and two Gen 3×2 M.2 slots around a Rockchip 3588 SoC that can slot into any Mini-ITX case. Thing is, I never put it in a case because the microSD slot lives on the side of the board, and pulling the case out and removing the side panel to install a new OS got old with a quickness.

J. Crew Is in Hot Water After Its “Vintage” Ad Turned Out to Be Faked Using AI

The American clothing brand J. Crew is under fire after it was revealed that the company used AI to guzzle up its own aesthetic and promote ads with seemingly fake models. The images, which were published to Instagram earlier this month, don't raise immediate alarm bells. Presumed human men are pictured embodying J.

When a model thinks harder, it doesn't necessarily mean a great response. You might not want the model to think harder when you're not sure what to do tomorrow. However, you may want the model to think harder when you're working on a complex topic, such as econometrics, bond valuation, healthcare and so on. As spotted on X, OpenAI is te

The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor. The treadmill itself is also on the bigger side since it's a commercial treadmill, but it does fold up using its easylift assist feature, so

Extreme Heat Makes Your Body Age Faster

It is well known that heat causes exhaustion in the body due to dehydration. But aging?

Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act

Can cheaper lasers handle short distances?

news.ycombinator.com Bryon Moyer 2025-10-21 06:28:55

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo
