There Are No New Ideas in AI Only New Datasets

news.ycombinator.com Jack Morris 2026-02-28 22:43:46

Most people know that AI has made unbelievable progress over the last fifteen years– especially in the last five. It might feel like that progress is *inevitable* – although large paradigm-shift-level breakthroughs are uncommon, we march on anyway through a stream of slow & steady progress. In fact, some researchers have recently declared a “Moore’s Law for AI” where the computer’s ability to do certain things (in this case, certain types of coding tasks) increases exponentially with time: the

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management.

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-03-01 00:25:30

Got a blinding headache? Some GLP-1 therapy could surprisingly help. A recent clinical trial has found early evidence that these popular drugs, typically used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes, may also reduce migraine episodes. Researchers in Italy conducted the small pilot trial, which involved dozens of patients living with obesity and chronic migraine headaches. People experienced a significant drop in the number of migraine days each month upon taking liraglutide, the researchers found—

How to easily add and configure multitouch gestures on Linux

Jack Wallen/ZDNET Years ago, I attempted to configure multitouch gestures for Linux and found it next to impossible.
