Now people call it the quartz crisis, but in fact it was a compound of three separate disasters that all happened at about the same time. The first was competition from Japan. The Swiss had been watching the Japanese in the rear view […]
Launch HN: Vela (YC W26) – AI for complex scheduling
Hi HN! We’re Gobhanu and Saatvik (brothers), building Vela (https://tryvela.ai) – AI agents that handle multi-party, multi-channel scheduling. Scheduling is a constraint satisfaction problem disguised as email! It’s easy when it’s two people, one timezone, one channel. But it becomes a constraint satisfaction problem when inputs are unstructured natural language across multiple communication channels, constraints […]

Datasets for Reconstructing Visual Perception from Brain Data
This repository indexes open neuroimaging datasets for reconstructing visual perception from human fMRI data. This guide is primarily aimed at researchers from AI and machine learning backgrounds who may not be familiar with neuroimaging methodology. Reconstruction from neuroimaging data has recently gained popularity at major AI conferences, but many approaches fall into common traps that […]
A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4k Developer Machines
esc to closeFive steps from a GitHub issue title to 4,000 compromised developer machines. The entry point was natural language. On February 17, 2026, someone published [email protected] to npm. The CLI binary was byte-identical to the previous version. The only change was one line in package.json: ”postinstall”: ”npm install -g openclaw@latest” For the next eight […]
Analytic Fog Rendering with Volumetric Primitives
In this post I’m going to cover a neat technique for rendering regions of fog with varying density. I’ll start by covering some of the basic principles behind fog rendering and a few common solutions before describing the technique itself. There will be a bit of maths involved – you’ve been warned! A Brief Review […]
Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework
After 18 months of building, rewriting, and rethinking, Jido 2.0 has shipped. It’s available on Hex now. Jido started as a bot platform called BotHive in 2024. Then the AI wave hit and everything changed. I was already using Elixir and decided to make a bet: the BEAM is the best runtime for agent systems. […]
Fast-Servers
fast-servers There’s a network-server programming pattern which is so popular that it’s the canonical approach towards writing network servers: … This design is easy to recognise: The main loop waits for some event, then dispatches based on the file descriptor and state that the file descriptor is in. At one point it was in […]
Good software knows when to stop
it’s 9AM, you’re ready to upgrade your favorite Linux distribution and packages to their latest versions, the process goes smoothly and after a reboot your machine is now up-to-date. You start going as usual about your day and then when trying to list the content of a directory on your machine, something strange happens, the […]
Every Single Board Computer I Tested in 2025
2025 was a pretty busy year for single board computers. I had 15 boards released in 2025 come through the bench from 8 different manufacturers, spanning SoCs from Rockchip, Broadcom, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Allwinner, StarFive, CIX, and Texas Instruments. Prices have ranged from $42 all the way up to $590, and the variety on offer has […]
