Why I'm Betting Against AI Agents in 2025 (Despite Building Them)

news.ycombinator.com Utkarsh Kanwat 2025-07-20 08:59:19

Everyone says 2025 is the year of AI agents. The headlines are everywhere: "Autonomous AI will transform work," "Agents are the next frontier," "The future is agentic." Meanwhile, I've spent the last year building many different agent systems that actually work in production. And that's exactly why I'm betting against the current hype. I'm not some AI skeptic writing from the sidelines. Over the past year, I've built more than a dozen production agent systems across the entire software developm

Sony’s Best-in-Class ANC Headphones May Have a Major Design Flaw

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-31 06:30:58

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones might sound great, but that’s only if they don’t break before you put them on your head. While it’s too early to say whether Sony’s latest world-class headphones have a widespread issue, the first reports of broken hinges are starting to roll in, and they feel ominously reminiscent of similar problems with the WH-1000XM5. See Sony WH-1000XM6 at Best Buy In a Reddit thread that’s actually pulled from a Red Note post (sorry for the convolution; that’s just the way li

Some of our favorite headphones are steeply discounted for Prime Day

theverge.com Brandon Russell 2025-08-07 14:30:00

If you want something more premium, theare down to $166.24 (about $84 off) at Amazon , which is the lowest price we’ve seen yet. Samsung’s flagship earbuds don’t win any design points, but they offer excellent sound quality, a crisp transparency mode, and voice commands that are actually useful. While the earbuds are mostly a win, the active noise cancellation isn’t quite as robust as what you get from the AirPods Pro or Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2. Read our review

Being too ambitious is a clever form of self-sabotage

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-12 10:11:24

There is a moment, just before creation begins, when the work exists in its most perfect form in your imagination. It lives in a crystalline space between intention and execution, where every word is precisely chosen, every brushstroke deliberate, every note inevitable, but only in your mind. In this prelapsarian state, the work is flawless because it is nothing: a ghost of pure potential that haunts the creator with its impossible beauty. This is the moment we learn to love too much.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Didn’t Always End That Way

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-17 18:30:04

Jurassic World Rebirth is now in theaters, and if you’ve seen it, you probably felt a little manipulated by the end. Not in a bad way necessarily, but in a way that felt somehow satisfying and also disappointing. You guessed what was going to happen but also kind of hoped it didn’t. Well, it turns out there’s a very, very good reason and story behind that. So, we asked the film’s director, Gareth Edwards, about it.

Revisiting Knuth's “Premature Optimization” Paper

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-19 00:17:12

The most famous quote from Knuth’s paper “Structured Programming with go to Statements” is this: There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization

Ask HN: Anyone Using Augmented Reality, VR, Glasses, Helmets etc. in Industry?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 05:12:35

Since Google Glass made its debut in 2012, there's been a fair amount of hype around augmented reality and related tech coming into its own in industry, presumably enhancing worker productivity and capabilities. But I've heard and seen so little use in any industries. I would have thought at a minimum that having access to hands-free information retrieval (e.g. blueprints, instructions, notes, etc), video chat and calls for point-of-view sharing, etc would be quite useful for a number of indust

Foundry (YC F24) Hiring Early Engineer to Build Web Agent Infrastructure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-11 02:00:27

Location: San Francisco, CA Why Foundry Exists: Most of what people do at work sucks—it's manual, repetitive, and wastes time. Recruiters spend hours every day on LinkedIn, CRMs, email, and tedious data entry tasks instead of focusing on the things humans actually do well: building relationships, strategy, and decision-making. We're building tools so that AI agents can use web browsers exactly like humans, navigating enterprise apps like Salesforce, SAP, or Workday without constant manual inte

How AI chatbots keep people coming back

techcrunch.com Maggie Nye 2025-09-12 02:39:00

Chatbots are increasingly looking to keep people chatting, using familiar tactics that we’ve already seen lead to negative consequences. Sycophancy can make AI chatbots respond in a way that’s overly agreeable or flattering. And while having a digital hype person might not seem like a dangerous thing, it is actually a tactic used by tech companies to keep users talking with their bots and returning to their platforms.
