Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news AI CEOs say they need to slow the pace of development. But will they? The Guardian view on controlling AI: humanity cannot outsource its survival The anticipated value of AI developer OpenAI has dropped over the weekend, following the call for a slowdown in the industry. OpenAI is currently a private company, but broker IG are running a contract where traders can bet on the company’s value. IG’s OpenAI Pre IPO market-cap contract, which had rallied from about $1.38 trillion to $1.64 trillion after the release of Astra, has fallen…
On LeetCode you write one function, it passes, and you're done. Most AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI, as well as some big tech companies such as Meta, Snowflake and Databricks, don't stop in one function and instead ask multi-step questions that are closer to real-world problems. Say you're building a key-value store. Step 1 is get, set, delete, count. Once your tests pass, Step 2 unlocks: expiring keys. Then nested transactions. Then atomic batches. I built this because I couldn't find a good place to practice for multi-step, multi-file questions. The questions are based on ones people…

Humans will have to compete with AI-powered virtual employees in the near future. Here are our tips for the last human holdouts Futureproofing your career with an AI-resistant degree is a tough ask, says Charlie Ball, an expert on graduate employment for Jisc, the UK’s higher education digital, data and technology agency. “What you’re trying to do is futureproof a 45-year career in a time of rapid technological change – and that’s really quite hard to do. What’s likely is that jobs that hinge a lot on human, face-to-face interaction are unlikely to be replaced.” Continue reading…

Hi HN! I am building Roled ( https://roled.io ), an open-source platform for centralized user & role management across multiple applications. At several companies I've worked at, I noticed the same pattern: we built multiple products, and each needed users, roles, and permissions. Eventually we'd end up building some form of centralized backoffice or user management ourselves. I started Roled because I wondered whether that could simply be infrastructure that we don't have to rebuild. One design choice in Roled is that users aren't modeled around organizations. Instead, each project has its o…

For the systems engineers looking at the underlying architecture of Replay, here is exactly how we model the plumbing and why we chose these specific design constraints: 1. Why Go Instead of Python? We built this strictly as a zero-dependency local CLI binary. Forcing an engineering lead or security auditor to handle Python virtual environments, pip dependency drift, or heavy Docker runtimes completely ruins the frictionless developer experience. 2. How We Model Server-Side State Machines: Anthropic and OpenAI keep their eviction layers in a black box. To build our decay maps, we forensic…

Singeli is a domain-specific language for building high-performance algorithms (including SIMD) with flexible abstractions over code that corresponds to individual instructions. It's implemented in BQN, with a frontend that emits IR and a backend that converts it to C (the IR is simple, so that other backends like LLVM or machine code could be supported without much work).

I made a tiny iPhone arcade game around one idea: what if Flappy Bird, but the bird never moves — and you fold the paper instead? Hold anywhere to fold the sheet inward, release to spring it back. Each wall has mirrored notches above and below the crease. Fold just enough so they meet and the crane slips through. Under-fold and you hit the wall; over-fold and the paper crushes you. It's one verb (hold/release), offline, no account. Perfects, combos, close calls, and a ghost line of your best score. Free with ads; optional one-time Remove Ads. Built in Swift for iOS 17+.

As part of a ML study group I've been building tools to experiment with ML concepts. I use AI Coding agents to develop software, mostly cloud-based but I keep trying local LLMs on 12G, 16G, and 24G VRAM GPUs. Freetoken has made it possible to run larger MoE models on smaller GPUs. This inspired me to use my ML tools to build a tiny MoE model from scratch so I can experiment with different agent optimizations and things like Engram, recursive models, hierarchical modeles, KV Cache compression etc. My link above shows results of building different tiny models, one dense, the rest MoE variants.…
