techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2025-09-28 03:00:00

Sam Altman and “his tech CEO friends” have a betting pool on the year we will see the first one-person billion-dollar company. The idea of a single person reaching a billion-dollar valuation for a startup would have been unthinkable without AI. But single-person, AI-first businesses have been sprouting all over the tech industry and Birk Jernström, CEO of Polar, a “monetization platform to empower one-person unicorns,” is standing by to help them get there.

I Wrote a Compiler

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-25 10:28:18

I have a Computer Science degree. I attended a whole course of lectures on compilers (and have a certain fondness for “the red dragon book” as a result). However, I had never actually written a compiler from start to finish until a rainy day last weekend. Yes, this is what I do for fun. I wanted to make a compiler for a real language, but a simple one so I could complete the project in a few hours. I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for BASIC - it’s the first progamming language I learned as

Streaming Has Overtaken Traditional TV for the First Time Ever

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-28 13:35:00

Streaming became the most popular single form of TV usage years ago, but that was not its final hurdle. The juggernaut of broadcast and cable television combined meant that consumers were still using traditional TV services more than streaming overall, even if streaming was more popular than either of them individually. According to data from Nielsen, streaming just overcame this final hurdle. Nielsen says that in May, cable television accounted for 24.1% of all TV usage and broadcast TV repres
