How I keep up with AI progress (and why you must too)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-25 23:36:39

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

Asynchrony Is Not Concurrency

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-26 00:21:38

Yes I know about that one talk from Rob Pike. The title of this blog post is not something you hear people say often, if ever. What you do hear people say is “concurrency is not parallelism”, but that’s not as useful, in my opinion. Let’s see how Wikipedia defines those terms: Concurrency refers to the ability of a system to execute multiple tasks through simultaneous execution or time-sharing (context switching) Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or proce

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-26 00:15:07

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe

Semaglutide’s ability to help people lose weight is legendary, but so are the side effects. The active ingredient in medications Wegovy and Ozempic, semaglutide is renowned for causing severe nausea in some people, sometimes to the extent that they stop treatment.

The '90s were the heyday of techno-noir movies, flicks that combine the cynical atmosphere and jaded perspectives of film noir with the dystopian settings and altered reality of science fiction.

Kunzinger and Sämann wanted to use their new way of estimating curvature to determine whether these singularity theorems would still be valid if they no longer assumed space-time is smooth. Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces? It’s important to find out if the smoothness condition can be waived, Sämann said, because doing so would bring the theorems closer to physical reality.

How to Get Foreign Keys Horribly Wrong

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.
