Surgeons aided by real-time analysis of camera footage that identified critical anatomy in brain to be avoided Neurosurgeons in London have performed the world’s first successful AI-assisted operation to remove a brain tumour, saving the sight of a 48-year-old man, health officials have said. The surgery was performed in May at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College London hospitals NHS foundation trust, but details were kept secret until Thursday while the patient, Rhys Hibbert, recovered.

Show HN: Rook – A multi-Agent harness that lives 100% in a browser extensionhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rook/opojeelojlkcinlhkbahpcekdolfjmhi

This is something I have been working on, on and off, for about a year but now I feel that it is stable enough to release. It really only has two tool sets, an execute tool for arbitrary code, and a bash tool, both of which run 100% in browser. As of now it's free and you can use your ChatGPT subscription or an OpenAI endpoint. There is an optional companion PWA that allows you to drive the extension from your phone and click captchas for it remotely, which I might charge for in the future. But for now it's free and optional. The extension itself has no backend and does not collect any data.…

Show HN: Fab Friends a crowdfunding site for Rwandan college studentshttps://www.joinfabfriends.org

Hey HN, I'm a Rwandan-American software engineer. I was fortunate enough to make it to the US, build a career here, and have opportunities that changed the trajectory of my life. I've been thinking for a long time about how I could give something back. So I built joinfabfriends.org. The idea is pretty simple: think GoFundMe, but specifically for Rwandan college students who need help paying for things like tuition and textbooks. I'm starting small. I want to learn whether this model works, how to make the process trustworthy and transparent. And because just asking HN for money felt boring, h…

Show HN: Which LLMs have the best sense of humor?https://laugh.so/research/judge-leaderboard

What if LLMs were good banter? Well we tested which LLMs have the best sense of humor. More specifically, we tested 16 top LLMs align most with human sense of humor. We ran >100k judgements and got >1.6k human ratings to see where do we agree across clean and dark jokes. The main findings: - Gemini 3.7 Flash has the best taste at 64% although it's really close at the top - However, we've trained our own judge that reaches 74% - Humans agree up to ~80%, the other part is subjectivity Other notes: - All frontier models have worse taste on dark jokes except Grok (unsurprisingly haha) - Model int…

Just wanted to share an idea I've had for a while for creating social networks that are useful but don't lead to eventual enshittification. The idea is simple: - Each user gets 10 connections - User networks go out to MAX 3rd degree connections - Users can set their max network preference (1st, 2nd or 3rd degree) This leads to networks that have a maximum 1,110 theoretical connections. It leads to all sorts of fun side-effects, like coveting 1st degree connections and volatile networks that swell and contract as connections change. Let me know your thoughts!

Hi HN, Hearing a lot of buzz around GLM-5.3, which I expect to be the best open-source coding model with the weights dropping soon, I wanted to test it where I actually do my work. I just mapped GLM-5.3 to TokenGo so I could swap out the base URL and use it directly in my IDE. The backend handles the edge routing via Cloudflare to keep latency low, critical when you're waiting for inline code completions. If you want to try GLM-5.3 (or glm-5.3-flash) in your own workflow, here is the setup. For Cursor: Go to Settings > Models. Add your API key in the OpenAI API Key field. Toggle "Override Ope…
