Is there a no-AI audience?

news.ycombinator.com Shubham Bose 2026-02-09 09:33:07

Published on July 2nd, 2025 how about no I recently saw a post on mastodon which said that someone was actively looking for a code editor that had absolutely no "AI" features. It did not strike me as a wishlist for nostalia's sake. It made me realize that in the rush to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of our digital lives, a growing number of companies have diminished the concept of opt-in by choice, it is now being turned into opt-in by default.

Israeli quantum startup Qedma just raised $26M, with IBM joining in

techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2026-02-11 05:00:00

Despite their imposing presence, quantum computers are delicate beasts, and their errors are among the main bottlenecks that the quantum computing community is actively working to address. Failing this, promising applications in finance, drug discovery, and materials science may never become real. That’s the reason why Google touted the error-correction capacities of its latest quantum computing chip, Willow.

I am not a supplier (2022)

I am not a supplier 31 Dec 2022 - Thomas Depierre For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point.

Tesla sends driverless Model Y from factory to customer to promote its robotaxi tech

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-02-19 00:06:25

Just a few days after launching a limited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, Tesla pulled off an additional stunt meant to show off the progress of its self-driving car software. The company let a Model Y SUV drive roughly 15 miles from Tesla’s factory to the apartment complex where the car’s new owner lives, completing what CEO Elon Musk called the first “autonomous delivery” of a customer car. The vehicle was supposedly equipped with the same software Tesla’s robotaxi Model Ys are using in Au

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-19 23:06:14

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management.
