wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-11-17 04:30:57

A large measles outbreak in Texas that has affected 762 people has now ended, according to an announcement Monday by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The agency says it has been more than 42 days since a new case was reported in any of the counties that previously showed evidence of ongoing transmission. The outbreak has contributed to the worst year for measles cases in the United States in more than 30 years. As of August 5, the most recent update from the Centers for Disease Co

Dive Brief: Data centers and other large, non-critical power consumers connected to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas transmission grid must accept curtailment during firm load shed events under a landmark law Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed Friday. Senate Bill 6 pairs mandatory curtailment with a voluntary demand response procurement program under which loads of 75 MW or more could ramp down or switch to backup generation at utilities’ request.

Show HN: OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-18 15:13:06

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain <textarea> was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can'

Model intelligence is no longer the constraint for automation

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-18 09:44:49

The perception is that model improvement seems to be stagnating. GPT-5 wasn’t the step change that people were expecting. Yet, models continue to improve on reasoning benchmarks. Recently, both OpenAI and Google models were on par with gold medallists in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2025 (IMO). At the same time it’s still difficult to make AI agents work for relatively simple enterprise use cases. Why is there such a disparity in model performance between problem domains? Why are mode
