Auf Wiedersehen, GitHub – CEO Steps Down

news.ycombinator.com Thomas Dohmke 2026-02-09 03:01:39

Over a decade ago, my family and I made the leap to move from Germany to the United States after the sale of my startup to Microsoft. In the years since, I’ve had the privilege of working with many exceptional human beings, including Hubbers, Microsofties, customers, partners, our GitHub Stars, open-source maintainers, and developers around the world who’ve helped us shape GitHub. From building mobile developer tools, to running the acquisition of GitHub alongside Nat Friedman, to becoming GitHu

Launch HN: Halluminate (YC S25) – Simulating the internet to train computer use

Hi everyone, Jerry and Wyatt here from Halluminate ( https://halluminate.ai/ ). We help AI labs train computer use agents with high quality data and RL environments. Training AI agents to use computers, browsers, and software is one of the highest-potential opportunities for AI. To date, however, this capability is still unreliable. The emerging method to improve this is called Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). However, researchers are currently bottlenecked by a lack of hi

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Almost Ended With a Movie

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-02-09 03:00:23

Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise‘s journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season. However, that apparently wasn’t always going to be the case, and the show nearly ended sooner. That’s according to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley (a.k.a. Number One) on the show. Speaking this past weekend at the Star Trek convention STLV in Las Vegas, the actress—via TrekCore—revealed that init

It’s the end of an era. After 34 years, AOL is pulling the plug on its dial-up internet service. It’s hard to believe that In 2025, with 5G, Wi-Fi, and fiber-optic broadband seemingly everywhere, AOL’s classic dial-up service is still operating. Sadly, for the thousands of people still relying on the old school internet service, the company recently announced that it’s discontinuing it on Sept. 30. “AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Intern

The Rise of a New AI Superpower

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2026-02-09 03:29:26

Abu Dhabi’s artificial intelligence sector is growing at breakneck speed, a rapid expansion that officials say is reconfiguring the emirate as a major global centre for AI. New figures from the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry show the emirate counted 673 AI companies between June 2023 and June 2024, a stunning 61% rise in a single year. That growth has made Abu Dhabi the fastest-growing AI cluster in the Middle East and North Africa. But in a world dominated by a handful of establis

FDA Rehires Controversial Biologics Chief Just Days After Trump Fired Him

The circus was performing at the Food and Drug Administration this weekend, apparently. The FDA has hired Vinay Prasad to oversee the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research—less than two weeks after he left that same role. Endpoints News was the first to report on Prasad’s rehiring on Saturday. He was initially reportedly fired by President Donald Trump himself, following growing pressure from Laura Loomer and other conservative voices who criticized him over the agency’s regulation of a

Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

Scientists hid secret codes in light to combat video fakes

It's easier than ever to manipulate video footage to deceive the viewer and increasingly difficult for fact checkers to detect such manipulations. Cornell University scientists developed a new weapon in this ongoing arms race: software that codes a "watermark" into light fluctuations, which in turn can reveal when the footage has been tampered with. The researchers presented the breakthrough over the weekend at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and published a scientific paper in Jun

An AI Model for the Brain Is Coming to the ICU

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of being trained on text, the system is based on electroencephalogram (EEG) data, which is collected via electrodes placed on the scalp and then read out by a computer in a series of wavy lines. EEG records the brain’s electrical activity, and changes in this activity can indicate a problem. In an ICU

Ford's Answer to China: A Completely New Way of Making Cars

I first thought Ford CEO Jim Farley was briefing me on a new car. It turned out to be something altogether more ambitious: A completely new way to make a car. Or, more precisely, EVs. “No one's ever built a car in three pieces then fit them together at the end,” Farley says. “We build the front, rear, and middle. We build the whole middle, front, and the rear—and then, at the end, we put it together. No one's ever built a car that way.” That approach stands in stark contrast to the usual way c

Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6 review: Great sound, greater frustration
