How I keep up with AI progress

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-25 17:36:39

Last Updated: 30th June 2025 Generative AI has been the fastest moving technology I have seen in my lifetime. Its also happens to be terribly misunderstood. We have already seen large companies and even governments ship dysfunctional or even dangerous AI products. Sufficiently uninformed people misunderstand how to apply AI with concretely negative consequences. The most common errors of misunderstanding are either underestimation (“it’s all hype that will blow over”) or overestimation (“I do

The Year of Peak Might and Magic

This article tells part of the story of New World Computing. Some passions are lifelong, but many others fade away over the course of a life, to be replaced by others. Not long after Jon Van Caneghem, the founder of New World Computing, sold his company to 3DO, it started to become obvious to everyone who worked for him that the torch he carried for computer games no longer burned as brightly as it once had.

Multiplatform Matrix Multiplication Kernels

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-25 18:59:49

Few algorithmic problems are as central to modern computing as matrix multiplication. It is fundamental to AI, forming the basis of fully connected layers used throughout neural networks. In transformer architectures, most of the computation is spent performing matrix multiplication. And since compute largely determines capability, faster matrix multiplication algorithms directly translate into more powerful models [1 ]. NVIDIA probably deserves much of the credit for making matrix multiplicatio

Influencers Have Arrived on ‘Foundation,’ and Somehow You Can’t Hate Them

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-02-25 17:00:31

Foundation is generally a pretty serious show. Season three in particular is charting humanity’s march toward certain doom—unless those with the power to reshape the future can figure out an alternative path before it’s too late. But levity creeps into the Apple TV+ Isaac Asimov adaptation when you least expect it, with season three continuing the humorous legacy of a character we said good-bye to back in season two. That dearly departed character is Hober Mallow, of course—the heroic scoundrel

‘Crystal Lake’ Casts a Familiar Horror Face as Little Jason Voorhees

Horror fans are excitedly awaiting Peacock’s Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake—and now we know who’ll be playing the younger version of Jason Voorhees. Long before he decided a hockey mask and machete were an ideal killing-spree combo, and even before he drowned at summer camp, he was just a little kid with an eccentric mother. Presumably. We don’t know too many details about the show yet, but we know Linda Cardellini is playing Pamela Voorhees—and now we know Callum Vinson is Jason.

Trump’s Cabinet Is Cashing in on Crypto

Congress’s big “Crypto Week” might have faded into the background a bit due to cryptic messages Donald Trump left in a birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein, but Republicans in the House and Senate did, in fact, manage to pass a couple of laws that will establish loose, industry-friendly regulations for cryptocurrency.

Remember AirPods? You probably do, because they’re literally everywhere, all the time, but if you don’t, it’s because Apple has seemingly neglected its hyper-popular wireless earbuds for a while now—or it’s at least failed to give us a model that actually counts as an upgrade. While AirPods 4 were released in 2024, the only notable upgrades back then were USB-C charging (hardly groundbreaking) and a new H2 chip that most people will probably overlook.

We Finally Know How Much Martin Shkreli’s Wu-Tang Album Cost

The saga of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that Martin “pharma bro” Shkreli bought for approximately $2 million in 2015, continues. The album’s contents have always been a highly guarded secret, and it was seized by the U.S. government in 2018 after Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud. For years, it was reported that the government had sold the album directly to PleaserDAO, a crypto collective that specializes in NFTs. However, Bloomberg now reports that

A huge fight looms over the NASA budget this fall

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-25 20:54:25

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA. Both of these measures would keep funding more or less at the level of the current fiscal year and, for the most part, keep the space agency's programs going on their current trajectories. These bills are not final
