Once hailed as the future, even the likes of Google, Sony and Microsoft have struggled to make streaming games fun, fast or affordable • Don’t get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up here In August 2009, at the very first Gamescom expo, I sat in a small meeting room in Germany and played Mario Kart and World of Warcraft on a laptop, via technology that was then completely new: cloud gaming. It was a demonstration for a yet-to-be-launched service called Gaikai that promised to let you play any game in a browser window, without a console. (Here is an ancient video of that demon…

Asus’ Cetra Open wireless earbuds are some of the best that I’ve tested, despite being open-style earbuds. Their drivers sit outside of your ear, which allows outside sounds to mix with audio coming from your console. Some gamers may not want this, but it works well for me as someone who prefers to be aware […]

Alarming warnings from industry insiders increase pressure for curbs on artificial superintelligence Does artificial superintelligence really pose a risk greater than nuclear weapons? Is there a significant chance of “a Chornobyl-sized catastrophe”. Might there even be a greater than 10% chance that AI could “kill all humans” in the next decade? These warnings were issued over the past 48 hours on both sides of the Atlantic about the potential impact of a technology that most people still think of as a more talkative search engine.

Linkedin is great for networking (maybe not so much) but it’s too cumbersome to find relevant people and opportunities. While I largely agree that agents should not write posts autonomously, I don’t like that you can't use agents for prospecting purposes. So I built Parlel, an agent native professional network where humans and agents can coexist and everything humans do is exposed to agents via mcp. The idea is simple, instead of searching manually, spin up an agent “find me YC companies hiring for founding engineers” and it searches Parlel + open internet and emails you the results p…

Hi HN, Every time I ran a training loop for a few days via Jupyter Notebook and ran into issues (network disconnected, my laptop suddenly died, etc.), I suffered from losing my ipykernel and cell outputs. I wanted to keep seeing my live outputs right inside the IDE without constantly checking W&B or log files. It is such a hassle. That's why I built Tithon. Let me know what you think!

England head coach Steve Borthwick's extra six months buys time but doesn't indicate reserves of confidence from his Rugby Football Union employers.
Hi HN! I’m Michael, one of the founders of Rindler (YC S26). We built Maxxwell, which helps you manage a dozen coding-agent sessions’ progress, context, and blockers. This lets you spend more time with the actual high-leverage decisions (and gives you more confidence in stepping away from your computer). We were originally building browser agents that log in to sites with a cached representation of the site to make for cheap and reliable repeat runs. There were a ton of hard challenges like mapping sites, getting past bot defenses, and handling credentialing and 2FA. There was a huge main…

I’m a founder and I just built RevliI’m a founder and I just built Revliu. After building several products, I always wanted to understand how my customers were actually finding me. Which campaign brought them in, which source they came from, and what their full journey looked like. There are already tools for this, but one problem I kept running into is that they often stop at first touch or last touch. That’s why I built Revliu around multi-touch attribution and the full customer journey. As soon as someone lands on your website, Revliu gives them an anonymous ID and starts tracking th…

I have had my fair share of failed startups, but none so recent that I could have sold our IP (code, Slack messages -- you name it) to Anthropic, OpenAI or any other AI lab or data buyer. I know some companies are actively approached by some brokers, but most are not, because a startup often dies as a zombie (= not in a big bang, in most cases). BuyMyDeadStartup is a bulletin board, not a marketplace. A founder posts a text description of what the company left behind, verified against a working email address and read by a person before it goes up. Buyers write to the founder directly. Whateve…

A major vulnerability is disclosed. The alert lands immediately. Then comes the harder question: Are we actually exposed? For many security teams, answering that means jumping between vulnerability scanners, endpoint tools, cloud inventories, SBOMs, repositories, and application data to build enough context to act.

Obviously everyone is writing their own coding harness these days, so I'll cut straight to the points of difference in mine: There's no tool that grants shell access. Instead there's a bunch of development-specific tools, scoped to restricted functionality. Reads and writes are gated by access control. Project files can be read without prompting, git-ignored files and dotfiles can't. The shipped MCP integrations are restricted to read-only access. There are no tools for git add and commit. Perhaps the biggest difference is separate driver and navigator modes. In driver mode, Opair wor…
