Computing’s Top 30: Tejas Chopra

Two minutes into his TedX talk on AI and the environment, Tejas Chopra notes that training a single large language model releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into Earth’s atmosphere as 125 roundtrip flights from New York to Beijing. In keeping with his ever-practical approach, Chopra goes on to suggest several concrete ways to reduce AI’s carbon footprint by optimizing resource use, energy consumption, and AI decision-making across industries.

AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers

news.ycombinator.com Stan Lo 2025-12-31 11:39:13

For a decade (2014-2024), I was a Ruby-only developer. I worked across the Ruby ecosystem—from Rails development to Ruby’s core tooling like IRB, RDoc, and the debug gem. But while I moved around the stack, I stayed within Ruby’s boundaries. Ruby wasn’t just my primary language; it was essentially my only language. That changed in 2025. This year, I’ve contributed to Sorbet (C++), worked on RBS’s parser (C), and am now diving into ZJIT (Rust). A combination of factors enabled this shift—someth

Tesla Isn’t a Car Company Anymore

Tesla may be in trouble. Investors and fans will get a clearer picture this Wednesday, July 23, when Elon Musk’s carmaker publishes its second-quarter earnings. There is no doubt that the core business is facing significant headwinds. The electric vehicle pioneer is expected to post a 13 percent drop in revenue and a 25 percent plunge in earnings per share. But if you only listen to Musk on the earnings call, you might not even hear the word “car.” Instead, expect a full-court press on robotaxi

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google may disrupt education market with new AI tools

AI companies could soon disrupt the education market with their new AI-based learning tools for students. BleepingComputer recently reported that OpenAI is working on a Study Together feature for ChatGPT. This would allow ChatGPT to teach students a wide range of topics and then offer quizzes. The idea is to create an engaging and interactive "study together" experience where students ask questions and ChatGPT puts in effort to teach them.

Apple’s machine learning framework is getting support for NVIDIA’s CUDA platform

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-01-14 04:22:22

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why. The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch. The backend is still a work in progress, but several core operations, like matrix multiplication, softmax, reduc

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-01-16 23:00:16

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t. The unwanted information may still be hiding somewhere inside the model so that it can be accessed

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online.
