Hey HN - We’re Bob and Ethan from Embedder ( https://embedder.dev ), a hardware-aware AI coding agent that can write firmware and test it on physical hardware. Here’s a demo in which we integrate a magnetometer for the Pebble 2 smartwatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOpAfeiFQkQ We were frustrated by the gap between coding agents and the realities of writing firmware. We'd ask Cursor to, say, write an I2C driver for a new sensor on an STM32, and it would confidently spit out code that used

My former colleague Parker Ortolani has been experimenting with “vibe coding” for months, building native and web apps by steering large language models with carefully crafted prompts. GPT-4o and Claude helped him get functional prototypes running, but GPT-5 is the first model that delivers the complete experience he’s been waiting for. Here’s how GPT-5 improves on earlier models: What makes GPT-5 better for vibe coding Parker says it plainly in his blog post: “The good news is that GPT-5 is

A man in Southern California has been arrested for allegedly stealing from three area hospitals. But the things he stole weren’t your run-of-the-mill items. The man made off with about $300,000 in surgical equipment and skin grafts, according to the Mercury News. Jason Brauner, a 47-year-old man from San Jacinto, California, allegedly posed as a hospital employee to pilfer the highly unusual property. The Riverside County Sheriff said in a press release that Brauner was arrested on Aug. 6 and c

We are pioneering the next wave of robotics, where advanced generative models meet real-world applications. Backed by top investors
You might want to think twice before you put a lot of stock in the latest stress charts from your fitness wearable. A recent study from the Netherlands' Leiden University, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, has found that when smartwatches and similar devices record readings on stress, fatigue or sleep, they're frequently getting it wrong. Researchers studied 800 young adults using the same Garmin Vivosmart 4 smartwatch model. They compared the data the smartwatch
The price of an iPhone Pro has been $999 since 2019, but a new leak appears to corroborate what has been rumored before -- that the price is going up. The iPhone 17 Pro, set to launch in September, reportedly will be priced $50 more at $1,050 in the US before taxes, according to Chinese leaker Instant Digital. The model will also reportedly get a storage boost from the Pro's usual 128GB to 256GB. For context, if you were to bump up to 256GB on the iPhone 16 Pro, that would cost you $100 and bri
Since Apple’s latest earnings call, talk of a potential Perplexity acquisition has quieted down (the fact that Perplexity was once again allegedly caught red-handed sidestepping content restrictions didn’t help). Meanwhile, with the ever-increasing number of engineers from its Foundation Models team jumping ship, Apple’s need for fresh talent is getting more urgent by the day. But if Perplexity is a no-go, who else could Apple buy? I used to agree with Jason Snell’s frequent argument on the Up

Some models of Apple's popular AirPods may soon be able to do live, in-person language translations when you squeeze both stems at the same time. According to an image posted by websites including 9to5Mac, the touch gesture is featured in a system asset that's part of Apple iOS 26 developer beta 6. In the image, the gesture is shown on a pair of AirPods with words in languages including English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese. In June, Apple showed off AI-powered live translations featu
Bitcoin has edged closer to its all-time high after an overnight rally that also propelled ether to levels not seen since 2021. The price of bitcoin was last flat at $118,981.86, according to Coin Metrics. Ether was also flat at $4,256.90, after surging on Sunday to its highest level since December 2021. Both were trading off their highs of the day. On Friday, ether broke $4,000 for the first time since December. The moves took place alongside a rise in U.S. equity futures earlier in the morni
The Trump administration has finally issued new guidance that states can use to dole out $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, after spending months withholding the money. A coalition of states sued over the funding freeze in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was one of the administration’s many attempts to stop funding appropriated by Congress at the start of Donald Trump’s second term. A judge ruled in June that those states were

Apple is testing new features for its Siri assistant with popular apps -- including Uber, Facebook and YouTube -- that would make it possible to use third-party app features with voice commands, according to a report from Bloomberg. The testing is being done with the goal of releasing a revamped Siri in the spring of 2026 that uses Apple's App Intents to expand what Siri can do outside of Apple's own OS and first-party apps. For instance, people might be able to post Instagram comments or make

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is aiming to ship its brand new App Intents feature, allowing Siri to take actions for you, next Spring – alongside its long-promised Siri overhaul. These features were initially on track to launch during the iOS 18 release cycle, though Apple faced engineering delays. Now, they should launch by ~iOS 26.4, according to current reporting. Apple’s Siri delays sure have been disappointing, and Apple likely shouldn’t have announced the features without ha
Tushar Mehta / Android Authority I have never been the kind to rise and shine. For the 31 years of my existence — or, at least, for the major chunk I remember vividly, waking up early in the morning has been a woeful exercise for me, unless, of course, it is for traveling or hosting people I love. Instead, I can feel the neurons in my brain firing up better in the dead of the night, and so, I have made the effort to ensure the tech in my life is best suited to make better use of those hours. T

At 75,000 folds, an unknown black liquid started to leak out of the hinge. At 175,000 folds, all speakers, incl
On Thursday, the Trump administration issued an executive order asserting political control over grant funding, including all federally supported research. The order requires that any announcement of funding opportunities be reviewed by the head of the agency or someone they designate, which means a political appointee will have the ultimate say over what areas of science the US funds. Individual grants will also require clearance from a political appointee and "must, where applicable, demonstra
