MIT engineers develop a magnetic transistor for more energy-efficient electronics

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it’s a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has fundamental physical limits that restrict how compact and energy-efficient a transistor can be.MIT researchers have now replaced silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, creating a magnetic transistor that could enable smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient circuits. The material’s magnetism strongly

Show HN: EdgeVec – Sub-millisecond vector search in the browser (Rust/WASM)

Hi HN,I built EdgeVec, a vector database that runs entirely in the browser. It implements HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) graphs for approximate nearest neighbor search.Performance: - Sub-millisecond search at 100k vectors (768 dimensions, k=10) - 148 KB gzipped bundle - 3.6x memory reduction with scalar quantizationUse cases: browser extensions with semantic search, local-first apps, privacy-preserving RAG.Technical: Written in Rust, compiled to WASM. Uses AVX2 SIMD on native, simd128

Show HN: Pit Claude, Codex, and Gemini against each other, and apply the best

Voratiq is an open-source (MIT-licensed) terminal-native CLI that lets you run multiple coding agents against the same spec, review their diffs side-by-side, and use whichever implementation is best.It's designed for experienced developers who want to make the most of agentic coding. It positions you as the architect and reviewer, and shifts implementation onto an ensemble of agents who (hopefully) in aggregate can do a good job. And in my experience, the latest generation of models do quit

Launch HN: BrowserBook (YC F24) – IDE for deterministic browser automation

Hey HN! We’re Chris, Jorrie, and Evan of BrowserBook, an IDE for writing and debugging Playwright-based web automations. You can download it as a Mac app here: https://browserbook.com, and there’s a demo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODGJBCNqGUI.Why we built this: When we were going through YC, we were a company that automated back-office healthcare workflows. Since the interoperability ecosystem in healthcare is so fragmented, we started using browser agent

Show HN: Alzheimer's conversational AI agent (ElevenLabs 3 hours hackathon)

We joined the ElevenLabs World Wide Hackathon, and against all odds we were able to create a working conversational agent in 2.5 hours :DWe created a multimodal virtual presence agent that uses advanced voice and vision capabilities to offer real-time, familiar-feeling conversations for people with Alzheimer’s. When a primary caregiver can’t be present, Relief provides comforting, supportive interactions—offering reassurance for loved ones and meaningful peace of mind for caregivers.It was fun t

How does a "you interview for US company, we do the work" scam work?

Got this scam email about an opportunity to earn passive income by acting as the front for an employment fraud scheme.How does the scammer benefit from this operation?I can think of 2 ways:- Personal / private data mining, but this seems quite work intensive for that purpose - Actually going through with the whole scam and disappearing after first salary payments come throughAny other ideas? Anyone have experience or insight about this?---Full email below:"Hi <name>, I hope you’r

Show HN: Νοῦς – A Customizable LLM Project

I've been working on a personal project called νοῦς (Nous). It's a Python implementation of the transformer model described in Attention is All You Need (Vaswani et al., 2017), using only JAX for the backend. The goal started as a learning exercise, but the system turned into something that many others might also find useful.As I previously mentioned, the backend is completely Python, but I have also built an electron-based frontend, releasing a fully built MacOS app. If you are on Win

Career Advice

I have recently graduated bachelors in computer science but I am quite hesitant on what to do next, I am fluent in C/C++ but there are local jobs that require other languages like C#. Thing is, I don’t want to be jumping from language to language especially cuz I am thinking of going for a masters degree in data science or ai next year and that requires python. Any advice?

Ask HN: Did anyone else notice that the OpenAI Labs website was completely gone?

I was sad to discover today that all of my Dall-E image generations are gone, along with the entire https://labs.openai.com/ site. Apparently, some users received emails earlier in the year when it was about to be taken down, but I didn't. There were quite a few images in my history that I would have liked to have saved.Maybe worse is how much this lowers my trust in OpenAI even further than it already had been. Dall-E was not a small platform; it was a cultural phenomenon ac
