These AI applications are aiding—not replacing—human creatives

There’s been plenty of speculation about whether generative AI could replace—or perhaps work alongside—human creativity. Indeed, many already use popular generative AI tools to create illustrations and even audio and video.

The L.A. wildfires show how social media has become just another spin room

It’s hard to remember now, as you scroll through a thicket of porn bots, anti-trans activists, and AI slop, but there was a time when Twitter was credibly labeled our “global town square.” Certainly, the social media platform proved a central meeting place for Arab Spring and Black Li

What does Meta’s Oversight Board even do?

When Meta established its Oversight Board to adjudicate on decisions it made about removing content from its platforms in 2020, the goal was for the select group of individuals from the media, civil society, and academia, to act as a check on the tech company’s decisions.

But as Meta dramatically overhauled its approach to content moderation and fact-checking this week, many have asked w

Skleníkové plyny v ledničkách mohou být nahrazeny plastickými krystaly

Tradiční freony z ledniček skončily v propadlišti dějin, protože ničí ozonovou vrstvu. Jejich nástupcem se stal freon R-134a, který je sice vůči ozonové vrstvě šetrný, ale zase má poněkud skleníkovou povahu. Zajímavým řešením by se mohly stát plastické krystaly, které při stlačování absorbují značné množství tepla. Technologie ale ještě musí dozrát. http://www.osel.cz/13861-sklenikove-plyny-v-lednickach-mohou-byt-nahrazeny-plastickymi-krystaly.html

Show HN: Cardstock- Free TCG Proxy Manager for Magic, Yugioh, & Pokemon

Trading cards are awesome, but paying $30 for some cardboard isn’t. I’ve upscaled 60,000 cards from the entire catalog of Yugioh, Magic, Pokemon, & a newer game, https://elestrals.com. I've made it easy to build a decklist, download it, and then print at home. Modern inkjet printers got really good when nobody was looking. While it’s clear they’re not real cards, the upscaling makes them look great for casual play (these are not tournament l

Ask HN: Work on robotics or agents?

I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering / CS graduate working in the Sales Engineering space for a cybersecurity company.

I have an opportunity to join an early-stage robotics company in SF and work with some amazing robotics engineers. However, I've also been building security-related agents/workflows in my free time that have gotten the attention of some senior people at my org.

Breylon's immersive display is the TARDIS of monitors

At CES 2025, Brelyon showed off its latest immersive display called the Ultra Reality Extend and even after seeing it in person, my brain still can’t fully comprehend a monitor that looks bigger and deeper on the inside than it does on the outside.

Billed as the world’s first commercial multi-focal monitor, the Ultra Reality Extend merges the ease-of-use and simplicity of a traditional desktop display with the kind of spatial depth you can normally only get from VR headset. Granted, th

Ask HN: A friend has brain cancer: any bio hacks that worked?

A friend recently got diagnosed with stage 4 GBM. It's the 4th person I know who has it, and it's getting old, so I want to help, bio-hacking style.

When a devastating wildfire hit California in November 2018, a powerful CEO went on Twitter to ask how his company could help. That CEO’s name was Elon Musk.
