150 years of Hans Christian Andersen

There once was an ugly duckling, so despised by the other birds that he fled the farm to explore the wider world. But because of his very great ugliness he was taunted there too, until one day he caught his image reflected in a pond and he had turned into a beautiful swan. The Ugly Duckling, first published in 1843, was one of Hans Christian Andersen’s many autobiographical fairy tales: “It matters nothing if one is born in a duck-yard,” he wrote, “if one has lain in a swan’s egg.” Andersen’s s

Show HN: Open-source physical rack-mounted GUI for home lab

The enclosure mounts as a 2U unit. 1U form factor was a bit challenging to pull off but I can try again. I have realized that a lot of people nowadays self-host services and set up home labs with mini racks. A significant challenge I've personally encountered is quickly obtaining health status from self-hosted services and machines, along with having the capability to control my Raspberry Pi headlessly within a mini rack. So, it got me thinking about creating a built-in GUI that users

Platforms like Loveable, Bolt, and Base44 are on the front of this movement - they have enabled the creation of millions of applications spanning from persona

Ferroelectric helps break transistor limits

Integrating an electronic material that exhibits a strange property called negative capacitance can help high-power gallium nitride transistors break through a performance barrier, say scientists in California. Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state. The researchers behind the project say this shows that n

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess. Coinbase, the cryptoc

Déjà vu? T-Mobile may be changing your plan whether you want it to or not

Back in 2023, T-Mobile received a ton of flak for announcing it would soon forcibly switch some of its legacy customers to newer, more expensive plans.

The math is haunted

July 30, 2025 For the past few months, I’ve been writing a lot of Lean. Lean is a programming language, but it is mostly used by mathematicians. That is quite unusual! This is because Lean is designed to formalize mathematics. Lean lets mathematicians treat mathematics as code—break it into structures, theorems and proofs, import each other’s theorems, and put them on GitHub. The big idea is that eventually much of the humanity’s mathematical knowledge might be available as code—statically c

Aurora’s autonomous trucks are now driving at night. Its next big challenge is rain.
