Row Polymorphic Programming

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-25 09:50:31

Sometimes, especially when dealing with business logic, we have to deal with data that comes in from the real world, or elsewhere, naturally very messily typed, leading to nasty type signatures and messes of macros or code generation to build data structures from a schema. Row polymorphism can help us by abstracting over the fields contained in a record type in the type signature, letting us define records based on data, concatenate records together, and define functions that are generic across

The Download: how to run an LLM, and a history of “three-parent babies”

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-07-29 08:10:00

In the early days of large language models, there was a high barrier to entry: it used to be impossible to run anything useful on your own computer without investing in pricey GPUs. But researchers have had so much success in shrinking down and speeding up models that anyone with a laptop, or even a smartphone, can now get in on the action. For people who are concerned about privacy, want to break free from the control of the big LLM companies, or just enjoy tinkering, local models offer a co

A brief history of “three-parent babies”

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-07-29 20:00:00

I can’t go any further without talking about the term we use to describe these children. Journalists, myself included, have called them “three-parent babies” because they are created using DNA from three people. Briefly, the approach typically involves using the DNA from the nuclei of the intended parents’ egg and sperm cells. That’s where most of the DNA in a cell is found. But it also makes use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the DNA found in the energy-producing organelles of a cell—from a thir

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-29 22:08:07

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-29 22:52:16

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.

Congress Passes GENIUS Act in Major Win for US Crypto Industry

The US House of Representatives on Thursday voted overwhelming to pass the country’s first significant cryptocurrency regulation, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. It will now go to President Donald Trump for final approval. If enacted, the bill will establish rules for issuers of stablecoins, a type of coin pegged to a $1 valuation, which proponents have pitched as a faster and cheaper way to make payments.

Razer’s new Pokémon collab is not very effective

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-07-30 17:20:58

Razer’s new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity. The four PC gaming peripherals in this lineup are simply reskinned versions of products that already exist, and which cost $20 to $40 more than their all-black counterparts. You really should be getting more for your money here. For example, the themed BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include at least one highly detailed custom keycap (switching out Alt for pokéball designs doesn’t cut it).
