zdnet.com Nina Raemont 2025-09-09 21:00:15

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

LLMs bring new nature of abstraction – up and sideways

news.ycombinator.com Martin Fowler 2025-09-06 03:52:05

Like most loudmouths in this field, I've been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages. The further development of languages and frameworks increased our abstraction level and productivity, but didn't have that kind of impact on the nature of programming. LLMs are making that degree

Can AI save teachers from a crushing workload? There's new evidence it might

zdnet.com Radhika Rajkumar 2025-09-10 01:00:15

Deagreez/Getty A Gallup poll published Wednesday found that 30% of teachers are using AI weekly -- and that it's saving them "six weeks a year." According to data from the 2024 to 2025 school year, 60% of K-12 teachers reported using some kind of AI tool in their work, most commonly to create worksheets or activities, personalize material to students' needs, and prep lessons. The study did not specify which AI tools teachers were using, referring to "chatbots, adaptive learning systems, or oth

ANDREY DENISYUK/Getty The Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill" -- which rounds up key pieces of the president's agenda, also includes a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for 10 years, if passed. After an initial budget hiccup, Republican senators successfully amended the rule to comply with budgetary requirements by adding that states trying to enforce AI regulations would not receive federal broadband funding.
