Community groups in Monterey Park, California, and the surrounding areas organized against data centers, citing environmental concerns and lack of transparency from local governments. Organizers in the Imperial Valley, California, also protested against a proposed data center, highlighting the region's history of environmental injustices and the need for public input in decision-making processes.
A programmer designed a 5x6 pixel font for low-resolution displays, allowing for compact layouts and easy programming. The font takes up 350 bytes of memory and is suitable for 8-bit microcontrollers.
Researchers investigated the "Over-Editing" problem where AI models rewrite code unnecessarily, making it harder for humans to review and understand. They found that reinforcement learning can improve the editing behavior of AI models, making them more faithful and minimal, without degrading their general coding ability.
The user discusses Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux (WSL9x), a hack that allows running Linux on Windows 9x without virtualization. It uses Windows 9x's VMM services to run Linux cooperatively with the Windows kernel.

Christopher Priest's biography of JG Ballard explores the writer's unique vision shaped by his childhood in Shanghai and experiences in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Priest's work, completed by his partner Nina Allan, provides a complex and poignant account of Ballard's life and work.
The concept of Cognitive Debt, introduced by Margaret-Anne Storey, highlights three layers of system health: Technical debt in code, Cognitive debt in people, and Intent debt in artifacts. As LLMs become more prevalent, experts like Ajey Gore and David Cassel discuss the need for verification and reorganization around judging the output of LLMs rather than solely focusing on writing code.
Google introduces TPU 8t and TPU 8i, two custom chips for AI training and inference, designed to power supercomputers and drive cutting-edge model development. The 8th generation TPUs deliver scale, efficiency, and capabilities for training, serving, and agentic workloads.
Book prices have increased over time, but when adjusted for inflation, they are actually lower than expected. Publishers face high costs and low profit margins, making it difficult to cut prices without harming authors and the publishing industry.

User analyzed 500 Show HN pages for AI design patterns, finding 21% with heavy slop, 46% mild, and 33% clean. The results suggest most sites are uninspired rather than AI-generated.
Marvin Borner, 2026-04-20 Common functional programming languages such as Haskell use recursion schemes to generalize folding/unfolding patterns. This typically requires infinitely recursive types and some notion of functor instancing. Today I want to showcase an effectful implementation of recursion schemes that instead makes use of refunctionalizing data structures to effects and handlers. ...
Zed now allows parallel agent orchestration with a new Threads Sidebar for control and monitoring. The Threads Sidebar offers instant access to common operations and helps developers stay organized with multiple projects and agents.
Survey of fast tanh approximations using Taylor series, Padé approximants, splines, and bitwise manipulation techniques like K-TanH and Schraudolph The hyperbolic tangent function, \( tanh \), maps any real number to the range (-1, 1) with a smooth S-shaped curve. This property is useful as an activation function in neural networks, where it introduces non-linearity while keeping outputs ...
Nate Sheaffer, a neon artist, saves New Orleans' historic signs by refurbishing and designing new pieces at his shop Big Sexy Neon. He uses century-old techniques to create sustainable and long-lasting neon art, preserving the city's unique aesthetic.
Penn State researchers led by William Brune documented corona discharges in nature for the first time, observing them on trees during thunderstorms in Florida. The phenomenon, which cleans the air by producing hydroxyl, was captured using a custom-built telescope system and has implications for forest health and atmospheric cleansing.
Sayers, a Liverpool institution, declined due to a combination of factors including cost-cutting, loss of family ownership, and failure to adapt to changing consumer habits. Greggs, a Newcastle-based bakery chain, overtook Sayers through strategic acquisitions and innovative marketing.
Workspace agents are shared AI tools that handle complex tasks and workflows within an organization's permissions and controls. They can be built and customized to automate tasks, gather context, and follow team processes, freeing up time for higher-value work.
The book documents New York City's bodega cats, highlighting their unique personalities and contributions to their stores. Advocacy efforts aim to legalize bodega cats, with two bills in committee and a petition signed by 14,000 people.
GitHub CLI sends pseudoanonymous telemetry to help improve the product by understanding feature usage. You can review the telemetry implementation and opt-out using environment variables or configuration options.
Florida's citrus industry is facing a severe crisis due to the citrus greening disease, which has infected 100% of the state's trees. The industry is also struggling with drought, tariffs, and hurricanes, leading to a decline of over 95% in orange production.

You've already built the agent. It lives somewhere: a LangChain chain, an Azure Foundry deployment, a Slack bot. Your users live in Teams. Teams is where most enterprise work happens: decisions get made, customers get answered, and projects move forward there. Getting your agent into that context, before you build anything Teams-specific, is already worth doing. It comes down to one ...
Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's CEO after 15 years, handing over to John Ternus, who has been with the company for 25 years. Cook will become executive chairman, focusing on politics and policy, while Ternus takes the helm of Apple's business.
The practice of surveillance pricing, where companies charge different prices based on personal data, has become widespread and is enabled by market failures and information asymmetries. To address this issue, legislation such as the Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act of 2025 and the One Fair Price Act of 2025 aim to eliminate surveillance pricing and provide enforcement mechanisms, ...
