news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-29 21:19:03

Every now and then, people ask me: “I am new to agentic development, I’m building something, but I feel like I'm missing some tribal knowledge. Help me catch up!”. I’m tempted to suggest some serious stuff like multiweek courses (e.g. by HuggingFace or Berkeley), but not everyone is interested in that level of diving. So I decided to gather six simple empirical learnings that helped me a lot during app.build development. This post is somewhat inspired by Design Decisions Behind app.build, but

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-29 22:45:28

The flagship health journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has grown quiet this year, and a report from MedPage Today indicates that a variety of actions by the Trump administration may be to blame for hamstringing the critical resource.

The Fed's interest rate decisions impact mortgages, but the relationship isn't straightforward. Tharon Green/CNET If you tracked the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions last year, you might have been puzzled: The Fed's three interest rate cuts didn't bring about lower mortgage rates. In fact, the average rate for a 30-year fixed home loan has hovered around 6.8% for the past several months.

It processed massive amounts of text—mechanisms for doing this powerfully and easily were part of the language—and it was even used in bioinformatics, munging and churning through genetic data.
