A software engineer describes a two-day hackathon where a team of engineers and recruiters used the no-code AI platform Lovable to build 'HoneyCrew,' a referral-tracking tool with Slack integration and scraping features. After rapid progress on day one, the project collapsed into bugs and instability on day two, leaving the team scrambling before the final demo.

Caltech to host first hackathon focused on research-level mathematics on Oct 30

Caltech is organizing a 40-hour event called Mathathon, running October 30 to November 1, where about 100 teams will use frontier AI models with over $2 million in compute credits to tackle open mathematical conjectures. Teams will present their findings to leading mathematicians, who will judge their understanding and rigor, with prizes awarded initially and again later once results are independently verified by the math community.
