news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 18:32:49

Liquid Glass in the Browser: Refraction with CSS and SVG Apple introduced the Liquid Glass effect during WWDC 2025 in June—a stunning UI effect that makes interface elements appear to be made of curved, refractive glass. This article is a hands‑on exploration of how to recreate a similar effect on the web using CSS, SVG displacement maps, and physics-based refraction calculations. Instead of chasing pixel‑perfect parity, we’ll approximate Liquid Glass, recreating the core refraction and a spec

Sam Altman says that bots are making social media feel ‘fake’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-11 02:24:42

X enthusiast and Reddit shareholder Sam Altman had an epiphany on Monday: Bots have made it impossible to determine whether social media posts are really written by humans, he posted. The realization came while reading (and sharing) some posts from the r/Claudecode subreddit, which were praising OpenAI Codex. OpenAI launched the software programming service that takes on Anthropic’s Claude Code in May. Lately, that subreddit has been so filled with posts from self-proclaimed Code users announc

Netskope follows Rubrik as a rare cybersecurity IPO, both backed by Lightspeed

Cybersecurity is a massive sector, but startups in the category are more likely to be acquired than go public. Even Wiz, which for a time held the title of the fastest-growing startup, abandoned its IPO ambitions when it agreed to sell to Google earlier this year. In the past few years, there have been scant few significant cybersecurity debuts such as SentinelOne in 2021, and Rubrik last year.

OpenAI Says It's Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-11 05:15:29

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere. The film will invite comparisons to the early days of CGI-animated movies in the mid-1990s. Funded heavily by Apple cofounder Ste

Programmers Using AI Create Way More Glaring Security Issues, Data Shows

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-11 06:09:57

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology. Looking at code from thousands of developers and tens of thousand repositories, Apiiro found that AI-assisted devs were indeed producing three or four times mo

Why is Japan still investing in custom floating point accelerators?

news.ycombinator.com Timothy Prickett Morgan 2025-11-07 18:27:24

It has taken nearly two decades and an immense amount of work by millions of people for high performance computing to go mainstream with GenAI. And now, we live in a world where AI servers crammed with accelerators account for half of the money spent on systems worldwide. There is no law anywhere that says that accelerator has to be a GPU, although that has been the accelerator of choice by far because GPUs are, like CPUs, general purpose processors that are explicitly designed to support vario
