news.ycombinator.com Lisa Bonos 2026-03-10 03:05:17

Clifton Sellers attended a Zoom meeting last month where robots outnumbered humans. He counted six people on the call including himself, Sellers recounted in an interview. The 10 others attending were note-taking apps powered by artificial intelligence that had joined to record, transcribe and summarize the meeting. Some of the AI helpers were assisting a person who was also present on the call — others represented humans who had declined to show up but sent a bot that listens but can’t talk in

Efficient set-membership filters and dictionaries based on SAT

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-06 17:10:57

INTRODUCTION This is a library for building and querying a compressed form of set-membership filters, named k-XORSAT filters. These filters can be used similar to how one would use a Bloom filter but with one restriction --- items cannot be added after the filter is built. So, this is an 'offline' or 'static' filter, whereas Bloom filters are considered 'online' or 'dynamic'. The advantage is that k-XORSAT filters achieve very near the optimal memory usage. That is, they use much less memory th

Feels like just yesterday that folding phones weren’t even a thing, and now we’re somehow drowning in a sea of crease-filled screens. If, like me, you’ve been wondering what else phone makers can offer the folding phone market that hasn’t already been done, then Chinese phone maker, Honor, may have an answer for you: thinness. The Honor Magic V5, which was just unveiled, has retaken the title for the thinnest foldable on the market, which sets a new bar, not just for Samsung—the most iconic fol

Senator Wants to File Bribery Charges Over Paramount’s Hush Money to Trump

Paramount, the owner of CBS News, announced late Tuesday it had agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit alleged that “60 Minutes” had edited an interview with Kamala Harris to make it more favorable to her in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, making it one of the most laughably absurd lawsuits Trump has ever filed.
