LLMs Bring New Nature of Abstraction

news.ycombinator.com Martin Fowler 2026-02-22 23:55:14

Like most loudmouths in this field, I've been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages. The further development of languages and frameworks increased our abstraction level and productivity, but didn't have that kind of impact on the nature of programming. LLMs are making that degree

Lenovo’s Legion Go S With SteamOS Is the Only Real Alternative to a Steam Deck

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-02-26 15:00:03

2025 For the last several years, most of us thinking about buying a handheld PC have heard the refrain “just get a Steam Deck.” The reasons are two-fold: one, the OLED version at $550 is the cheapest of its class, and two, it’s so damned easy to use thanks to SteamOS. No other company has come close to offering similar bang for the buck—until now. At $600, Lenovo’s Legion Go S with SteamOS is a superior handheld for on-the-go gaming compared to the Windows version released earlier this year, w

This Town Started Charging for Trash by the Bag. Here’s What Happened

gizmodo.com Tik Root 2026-02-26 18:00:40

Until a few years ago, the town of Plympton, Massachusetts, was quite literally throwing away money. People were producing so much trash that it was threatening to put the municipal transfer station out of business. Under the town’s system, residents would buy a $240 sticker for their cars that allowed them yearlong access to the dump, where they could dispose of as much garbage as they wished. But the sheer volume, combined with climbing landfill fees, meant that this service was costing the l

RFK Jr. Announces All Americans Need Health Tracking Devices: Here Are the Pros and Cons

Many Americans already track health statistics like heart rate and sleep cycles on app-connected accessories. Now the federal government wants to jump in. On June 24, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced "one of the largest HHS campaigns in history" to encourage the use of wearables to track health conditions, a trend CNET has recently covered. Kennedy is referring to the many different bands, watches and even clothes that use technology to track human vital signs. CNET's reviewers

Protect Yourself From Sketchy Calls: Unknown Caller vs. No Caller ID

Like most of us, you're probably getting a lot of unsolicited calls that show up as either No Caller ID or Unknown Caller on your iPhone. Reflexively answering either one could lead to a scam -- or perhaps a call you've been waiting for. What are the differences between these two anonymous labels?

Staples Union & Scale FlexFit Desk Converter Review: Reliable Riser

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-02-26 17:03:00

The included keyboard rest is optional to install, though the whole thing is designed to work together. It's a little annoying. I wish you could roll the tray into the riser to hide it, which would go a long way in making the FlexFit look a little more elegant, and could also help with storage. You also can't adjust the height of the tray, so while I didn't have issues typing on a keyboard, I found my wrist cramping up a little when using my Apple Magic Trackpad because it was a little too low.

Joe Maring / Android Authority At Google I/O 2024, Google introduced the world to “Ask Photos.” It was a new Gemini-powered search experience for Google Photos that would enable you to use natural language to easily find pictures in your library. The pitch sounded great and like a legitimately good use of AI. Unfortunately, Ask Photos’ implementation fell short.

Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

Missing Heritability: Much More Than You Wanted to Know

news.ycombinator.com Scott Alexander 2026-02-26 18:13:00

The Story So Far The mid-20th century was the golden age of nurture. Psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and the spirit of the ‘60s convinced most experts that parents, peers, and propaganda were the most important causes of adult personality. Starting in the 1970s, the pendulum swung the other way. Twin studies shocked the world by demonstrating that most behavioral traits - including socially relevant traits like IQ - were substantially genetic. Typical estimates for adult IQ found it was about 60%
