futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-04 20:12:12

A vitiligo research group has "hit pause" on its forthcoming AI therapy bot after learning about negative mental health effects that other chatbots have been having on users. The Vitiligo Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and helping sufferers of the pigment-loss skin condition, cited recent news stories about so-called "AI psychosis" — the unofficial group of symptoms, including paranoid delusions, that AI seems to induce in certain users — as its rationale for pa

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have everything in the world just for yourself — where every resource and every service is just for you?

This post has made it to the Hacker News front page, see the discussion there. My >10 year old programming habits have changed since Claude Code launched. Python is less likely to be my go-to language for new projects anymore. I am managing projects in languages I am not fluent in—TypeScript, Rust and Go—and seem to be doing pretty well.

How Python grew from a language to a community

news.ycombinator.com David Cassel 2025-12-07 14:38:53

When it first launched in 1991, Python “wasn’t lucrative,” remembers long-time Python community organizer Paul Everitt (now a Python and web developer advocate at JetBrains). “But we believed in it. The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years.

Benchmarking MicroPython

In the Q&A session following my EuroPython 2025 presentation about the Microdot web framework, a member of the audience asked me what the performance of MicroPython running on a microcontroller is. This took me a bit by surprise, because while I knew that microcontrollers are slow and underpowered devices, I really had no way to quantify this. I never questioned the supposedly low performance, because it was never a problem for me. My answer to the question was that microcontrollers cannot repl
