From science kits to karaoke machines, shower sets to brain-boosting games, here are the presents our mini testers loved the most • The best gifts for seven-year-olds Eight is such a wonderful age. Kids are old enough to have their own interests and hobbies, but still young enough to get swept up in play and be absorbed for hours if you find the right toy for them. By eight, children’s interests and skills are taking shape. They’re more confident readers, more strategic thinkers and curious about how things work. And while they think they’re extremely grown up, eight-year-olds still n…

Bank’s chief knowledge officer says the tech could speed up economic development from centuries to decades The World Bank is urging developing countries to kickstart the creation of “small AI” models, which can run on a mobile phone with low connectivity, to reap the full benefits of artificial intelligence. While Silicon Valley big tech firms are focused on ever more sophisticated consumer products, Paschal Donohoe, the World Bank’s chief knowledge officer, said AI could also accelerate development for emerging economies – but only if it was adapted to local needs.

I noticed that a lot of non-technical people don’t use AI to its full extent. Like they use the wrong model for the task, the wrong reasoning effort, or vague prompts. That gap between "what the AI can do" and "what people actually get" is what I wanted to fix. So I spent the last two years in my spare time building a consumer AI product that tries to fix this issue. This is how it works: When it receives the request, an LLM decides the task type (chat, reasoning, coding, writing) and the tool calls that are needed (web search, image generation, video generation, audio generation). Then it…

Hi HN, I built Connecting Captions, a live captioning and translation overlay for macOS that runs entirely on-device.

I wanted live translation I could use in meetings and conversations without worrying about connectivity, latency spikes, or sending sensitive audio to a third party. The technically interesting part is a low-latency, self-correcting pipeline for speech-to-text and translation. It has two modes: Sentence mode: buffers until a sentence boundary, then translates with full con…

Champion dominates fellow British boxer in London before facing a challenge from IBO champion Hrgovic.
At a dinner party with other parents recently, the conversation turned to the challenges we all have with communication coming from our children's schools. Emails and Texts and App notifications, coming from Teachers, Admins, PTA, After-Care programs. Overlapping information, buried key details, verbose fluff. An avalanche of text every day that must be carefully parsed to find important info. This seems to be a universal problem and certainly one I experience every day. So literally before dinner was over I built the first version of this site on my phone with Claude. I think the main proble…
