OpenAI’s latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy. Today, the company announced that its agents have solved one of the Millennium Prize Problems, some of the most important open problems in mathematics. Under normal circumstances, that solution would be a huge feather in OpenAI’s cap. But the announcement has been overshadowed by accusations…

It's got all the features you'd need to make complex games and the architecture that has minimal GC pressure. Please try it out and give it a go.

Hey HN! I just shipped the first public version of a new programming language that I have worked on for the past two years. Its goal is to help synchronize types between TS, Rust, and Python (more to come). Two main use cases are the API client libraries and client-server interop, i.e., a TS web app talking to a Rust server. I focused on making it as flexible as possible but always produced idiomatic types that look and feel like they were carefully crafted by humans. It was a challenge, e.g., I had to test 7 Python versions for every language feature or had to implement Rust literals runtime…

Hi HN, I’m the author of SimpleW, an MIT-licensed .NET web server for standalone or embedded applications. I shared it here last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44797834 ). Since then, I’ve rewritten it from scratch, removing the NetCoreServer dependency. The biggest change is the addon architecture: the core stays small, with no third-party dependencies, and you add what you need (JWT, OpenID Connect, automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates, Swagger, Razor, dependency injection, or logging integrations). Even the network engine is replaceable, with an optional io_uring addon f…
