Implementing Logic Programming

news.ycombinator.com Sir Whinesalot 2026-03-18 18:32:21

Most of my readers are probably familiar with procedural programming, object-oriented programming (OOP), and functional programming (FP). The majority of top programming languages on all of the language popularity charts (like TIOBE) support all three to some extent. Even if a programmer avoided one or more of those three paradigms like the plague, they’re likely at least aware of them and what they’re about. Or they’re applying one of the paradigms while denying that they’re doing so, like Has

New York passes a bill to prevent AI-fueled disasters

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-03-18 19:09:17

New York state lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday that aims to prevent frontier AI models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic from contributing to disaster scenarios, including the death or injury of more than 100 people, or more than $1 billion in damages. The passage of the RAISE Act represents a win for the AI safety movement, which has lost ground in recent years as Silicon Valley and the Trump Administration have prioritized speed and innovation.

We found a germ that 'feeds' on hospital plastic – new study

news.ycombinator.com Ronan Mccarthy 2026-03-18 23:01:00

Plastic pollution is one of the defining environmental challenges of our time – and some of nature’s tiniest organisms may offer a surprising way out. In recent years, microbiologists have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down various types of plastic, hinting at a more sustainable path forward. These “plastic-eating” microbes could one day help shrink the mountains of waste clogging landfills and oceans. But they are not always a perfect fix. In the wrong environment, they could cause

In Brief Chief technology officers (CTOs) from companies, including Palantir, Meta and OpenAI, are taking part-time roles in the U.S. Army Reserve.

This week the White House and President Donald Trump attempted to kill, once and for all, California's plan to accelerate the sale of zero-emission cars and trucks in the state. In a ceremony in Washington, DC, on Thursday attended by trucking executives, Trump signed three resolutions passed by Congress aimed at revoking California’s nearly 60-year-old power to set its own motor vehicle emissions rules. In doing so, the federal government is taking aim at one of the most ambitious vehicle elec

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets.
