Shipments of smartphones increased 1% year over year in the second quarter of 2025, despite tariff volatility and worldwide economic instability, according to new data released from the International Data Corporation. Much of the increase in sales is attributed to midrange devices like Samsung's Galaxy A36 and other smartphones that have started incorporating AI. The report blamed a drop in demand for lower-end devices, including

news.ycombinator.com Itamar Friedman 2025-07-27 23:25:00

The reverse acquihire of Windsurf by Google is more than a corporate reshuffle. It offers a rare glimpse into the strategic realignments happening in AI-powered developer tools – a space that is powerful, promising, but still deeply unsettled. Windsurf set out with an ambitious bet: bringing “agentic” capabilities directly into the IDE. It wasn’t just about generating code snippets faster; it aimed to create a true coding partner, capable of understanding high-level intent and navigating large
