Robinhood Is Building a Social Network for Following Market Movers’ Trades

Social media has an unprecedented sway over stock prices. Financial influencers give stock advice on YouTube and TikTok. Trading communities on X and Reddit resurrect financially undesirable stocks from their ashes just for the sake of memes. It’s undeniable that a growing subset of investors are adamant on using platforms like X, Reddit, YouTube, and TikTok to make their financial decisions.

We can’t circumvent the work needed to train our minds

The Scam Called “You Don't Have to Remember Anything” Dear Zettlers, This scam is decades old now and it is quite surprising that people still fall for it. The search engines, old note-taking apps (you know, those with an elephant icon and the like) and AI have something in common: They claim that the effort of remembering things is outdated like using a candle in the age of electric light.

What a difference a changing regulatory environment makes. Roughly nine months after suggesting that a young copy trading platform could only operate because it flew “under the radar” of regulators, Robinhood has announced its own entry into the space with “Robinhood Social,” a new feature that will allow users to follow and manually replicate the trades of prominent investors.

Requiem for an Exit

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-06 19:08:20

Between 1994 and 2004, Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam created a series of robotic installations exploring the intersections between technology, ideology, and collective memory. These robots evoked the aesthetics of political mass movements, echoing the fractured language of 20th-century totalitarianisms and its countercultures. Two decades later, the artists revisit these themes in Requiem for an Exit. At the center of the installation stands a towering robotic figure, four meters tall—a skelet

Way to Address Product Design Failure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 05:59:15

We live in an age of shitty product design and no customer support. Stuff breaks because it's poorly made, and then you have no recourse but to throw it into the trash, because it's unrepairable. If you try to get someone on the line, it's endless sub-menus before you finally get a live person overseas, who struggles with the language and has not been empowered by their bosses to actually solve your problem.

The New Math of Quantum Cryptography

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2025-10-08 17:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them will doom most forms of cryptography. Several years ago, researchers found a radically new approach to encryption that lacks this potential weak spot. The approach exploits the peculiar features of quantum physics.

The Robot Vacuum’s Next Humble Trick: Climbing Stairs

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that carries them upstairs when it’s time to move floors, then waits to carry them back down when they’re done. The first one we encountered was the Eufy MarsWalker. Then, it turned out that Dreame had one, too, using almost the exact same approach, only it’s weirdly much scarier-looking. Both have a s

This Robot Vacuum Has 4WD and Fast Charging Like An Electric SUV. Here’s Why It Matters

Most robot vacuums have two wheels in the back that are directly powered, though they may still have front roller that allows them to move smoothly. This works fine for most people’s homes but if, like me, you have a lot of dramatic thresholds that measure an inch or more, you’ll find your robot cleaner getting stuck a lot.
