We built an open-source asynchronous coding agent

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-03 08:16:20

The use of AI in software engineering has evolved over the past two years. It started as autocomplete, then went to a copilot in an IDE, and in the fast few months has evolved to be a long running, more end-to-end agent that run asynchronously in the cloud. We believe that all agents will long more like this in the future - long running, asynchronous, more autonomous.

Was Jesus Really Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin? 3D Study Says Probably Not

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-12 08:50:26

The Shroud of Turin is an ancient linen cloth with the subtle impression of the front and back of a crucified man. While many believe it was the burial shroud in which Jesus was wrapped when he died in the 30s CE, scientific research has dated it to between 1260 and 1390 CE, suggesting it’s a medieval artifact. An ingenious new approach using 3D scans is now adding further credence to the suggestion that Jesus’s body—or any body for that matter—never touched this famous fabric. Cicero Moraes, a

Nikolai Daskalov lives alone in a small house in rural Virginia. His preferred spot is a brown suede recliner in the middle of his living room facing a vintage wooden armoire and a TV that's rarely turned on. The front of the white home is covered in shrubs, and inside there are trinkets, stacks of papers and faded photos that decorate the walls. There's nobody else around.
