Amazon holds this event as its biggest sale of the year because it offers massive discounts on prime tech products. These deals are so much of a bargain that inventory does not typically last long, so it’s wise to act quickly while supplies last.

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-10 16:40:52

Dumping billions of sterilized flies out of planes over Mexico and Texas. Using this tried-and-true biological control technique, the USDA aims to stamp out the larvae of the New World screwworm (NWS) fly, a tropical parasite.

Show HN: A modern C++20 AI SDK (GPT‑4o, Claude 3.5, tool‑calling)

Hi all, I’m hacking on new features for the ClickHouse native client and wanted the same “just call the model” ergonomics JavaScript and Python now enjoy. It didn’t exist for modern C++, so I wrote one. ai‑sdk‑cpp (Apache‑2.0) gives you: - Unified calls to OpenAI (GPT‑4o) and Anthropic (Claude 3.5) with a single C++20 API. - Streaming, multi‑turn chat, error handling—all std::optional/std::variant, no macros. - Tool calling (function‑calling) so the model can hit real APIs; sync or async, run
