Mandatory AI summaries have come to Google, and they gleefully showcase hallucinations while confidently insisting on their truth. I feel about them the same way I felt about mandatory G+ logins when all I wanted to do was access my damn YouTube account: I hate them. Intensely. But unlike those mandatory G+ logins—on which Google eventually relented before shutting down the G+ service—our reading of the tea leaves suggests that, this time, the search giant is extremely pleased with how things a

Small Changes That Made Our Daily Stand-Ups More Useful

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Koprowski 2026-02-14 06:14:00

Daily stand-ups are a cornerstone of agile software development – but often they’re seen as a burden or a distraction. Why? Because they frequently devolve into long status reports that bore participants and add little real value. Others see it as a waste of time or such regular part of their day, that it doesn’t deserve a second though. During the past two years, together with my team, I worked on improving our daily to transform it to a tool that helps every participant to kickstart their da

The 'Contrarian Friend' Is Real, and They're Driving Everyone Crazy

news.ycombinator.com Jenna Ryu 2026-02-14 06:57:55

There’s a special kind of emotional drain that comes from talking to someone who disagrees with everything you say. And thanks to a string of viral TikToks, this particular red flag now has a name: the “contrarian friend.” This type of companion isn’t just occasionally opinionated or a stickler for proper grammar. No matter the topic, the “contrarian” is always chiming in with a buzzkill rebuttal. You rave about a new “must-try” restaurant? The “contrarian” will shut you down with an instinctiv

A zoo in Denmark has made an unusual request: if you feel like it, send us your pets so we can keep our lovely predator population well-fed. As one would expect, there’s been a bit of public outcry over the “Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators,” the zoo said, in a Facebook post, noting that such animals are “reminiscent of what” predators would “naturally hunt in nature.” It added: “In zoos, we have a responsibility to emulate the animal’s natur

Tesla and Elon Musk Sued by Shareholders Who Say Robotaxis Violate Traffic Laws

Tesla shareholders filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday against both the EV company and CEO Elon Musk, alleging they made “materially false and misleading statements” about the safety of their robotaxis and the regulatory scrutiny that comes with launching autonomous vehicles. Tesla launched its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22, but there’s a human “safety monitor” in the passenger seat, and the robotic vehicles are geofenced to a relatively small area in the city.

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems.

‘The Long Walk’ Wanted Mark Hamill for His ‘Star Wars’ Sequels Performance

Mark Hamill hasn’t been shy about discussing his, shall we say, dislike of Luke Skywalker’s arc in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, specifically in the movie where the character has the most prominence: The Last Jedi. He’s all but closed the door on ever returning to his most famous character, but the prolific actor has kept extremely busy with other roles, including two Mike Flanagan projects, The Fall of the House of Usher and Life of Chuck.
