Trellis AI (YC W24) is hiring deployment lead to accelerate medication access
Trellis builds and deploys self-improving agents to get patients access to life-saving medicine. Our AI agents process billions of dollars worth of therapies annually with patients in all fifty states. We do this by automating document intake, prior authorizations, and appeals at scale to streamline operations and accelerate care. We classify medical referrals, understand chart […]
Racket v9.1
posted by Stephen De Gabrielle and John Clements We are pleased to announce Racket v9.1 is now available from https://download.racket-lang.org/. As of this release: Documentation organization and navigation can be specialized by language family, to allow users to interact with documentation in a way that is tailored to that language family. This is currently used […]
Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid
On Tuesday, the US Energy Information Administration released full-year data on how the country generated electricity in 2025. It’s a bit of a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that overall demand rose appreciably, and a fair chunk of that was met by additional coal use. On the good side, solar continued its […]
Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs (using HN posts)
Abstract:We show that large language models can be used to perform at-scale deanonymization. With full Internet access, our agent can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer participants at high precision, given pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator. We then design attacks for the closed-world […]
The Misuses of the University
The aging history professor—his beard graying, his posture slouching—parks his 1997 Honda and walks to his office at Johns Hopkins. Along the way he passes two giant glass cubes that, for the last five years, have slowly risen on the edge of campus. Limp signs on the fencing announce the opening of the SNF Agora […]
The United States needs fewer bus stops
When people talk about improving transit, they mention ambitious rail tunnels and shiny new trains. But they less often discuss the humble bus – which moves more people than rail in the US, the EU, and the UK – and whose ridership has bounced back more quickly after Covid than rail.1 The problem with buses […]

Sub-second volumetric 3D printing by synthesis of holographic light fields
Abstract Volumetric additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising technique for the flexible production of complex structures, with diverse applications in engineering, photonics and biology1,2. However, present methods still face a trade-off between resolution and volumetric build rate, restricting efficient and flexible production of high-resolution 3D structures. Here we propose a method, called digital incoherent […]
Ask HN: Have top AI research institutions just given up on the idea of safety?
I understand there’s a difference between the stated values and actual values of individuals and organizations, and so I want to ask this in the most pragmatic and consequentialist way. I know that labs, institutions, and so on have safety teams. I know the folks doing that work are serious and earnest about that work. […]
New accounts on HN 10x more likely to use em-dashes
I’ve had this sense that HN has gotten absolutely innundated with bots last few months. First most obvious giveaway is the frequency with which you see accounts posting brilliant insights like 13 60 well and t6ctctfuvuh7hguhuig8h88gd to f6gug7h8j8h6fzbuvubt GB I be cugttc fav uhz cb ibub8vgxgvzdrc to bubuvtxfh tf d xxx h z j gj […]
