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: Kalshi Market Intelligence and AI Signal Analyst

Hi HN,I built a lightweight market intelligence layer for Kalshi prediction markets.Instead of scraping pages, it intercepts Kalshi’s APIs to track: • Stateful volume trends (rising / falling) • Liquidity depth • Basic sentiment signalsIt also includes a BYOK AI adapter so users can generate short trader briefs using their own LLM key (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). Designed to run on very low resources (fits Apify’s 1GB free tier).I built this as part of the Apify $1M Challenge and wou

Show HN: 26x speedup on BitNet sparse ops with AVX-512 and 2-bit encoding

I've been optimizing ternary operations for BitNet 1.58b and found significant overhead in the current implementation.I wrote a dependency-free C kernel (sparse-ternary-fma) using 2-bit encoding and AVX-512 instructions.Benchmarks on Intel Xeon (N=4096):Throughput (Dense): 2.38x faster (8.21 GFLOPS vs 3.45 AVX2)Throughput (Sparse 80% zeros): 26.12x faster (23.25 GFLOPS vs 0.89 Scalar)Memory: 4x denser (2-bit vs 8-bit standard)This approach packs 4 trits per byte and leverages sparsity-aware

I built an ingestion engine because I hate mundane tasks

There is nothing quite as soul-crushing as manually copy-pasting data from a PDF invoice into a database field.It's a waste of human intelligence.I tried existing tools, but they broke whenever a document layout changed. I needed something robust enough to handle variable inputs without constant babysitting.I built Scanny AI using vision models to understand document structure rather than just relying on brittle regex or raw OCR.It identifies fields spatially and syncs structured JSON to t

Show HN: Touch grass – I built social media that wants you to close it

I wanted old school social media back. Actual connections with friends. Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels.All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time

Ask HN: Why are AI coding agents not working for me?

I'm really trying to use them with an open mind. I'm writing detailed specs. On failure, I adjust the initial spec, rather than go down the spiral of asking for many adjustments. I'm using Claude Opus 4.5 inside Cursor. My ambitions are also quite low. The latest was to split a mega Python file into a few submodules according to a pretty simple criterion. It's not even that it failed, it is more about the how. It was trying to action the refactor by writing some Python one-li

Ask HN: What's your opinion on a VR/XR business?

A friend suggested that I join them in a VR/XR business, It’s not actually a formal business yet, the company hasn’t even been legally established, but they have developed a solution. He told me that three people have contacted him about buying the solution, and one wanted a partnership (though they didn’t want to pay all the fees). They haven’t done any marketing yet, but users are finding the website online.I’ll join anyway, but I want to know what the market value is and what really make

Show HN: Respilens.com displays flu, COVID-19 and RSV forecasts for US states

TL;DR: weather forecasts but for respiratory disease. Interpret with caution :)Hey HN,Every year during the respiratory disease season (winter in the northern hemisphere), the CDC runs challenges where teams -- academics, mostly, but also government and companies -- submit forecasts of the disease burden each week. These are 4-week-ahead forecasts.We (Emily and I, Joseph) built RespiLens.com as a static website to display these forecasts all in one place with a nicer interface than what is gener

Show HN: An iOS budget app I've been maintaining since 2011

I’ve been building and selling software since the early 2000s, starting with classic shareware. In 2011, I moved into the App Store world and built an iOS budget app because I needed a simple way to track my own expenses.At the time, my plan was to replace a few larger shareware projects with several smaller apps to spread the risk. That didn’t quite work out — one app, MoneyControl, quickly grew so much that it became my main focus.Fifteen years later, the app is still on the App Store, still a

Show HN: Soklet, a zero-dependency Java HTTP/1.1 and SSE virtual-threaded server

Hi, I built the first version of Soklet back in 2015 as a way to move away from what I saw as the complexity and "magic" of Spring (it had become the J2EE creature it sought to replace). I have been refining it over the years and have just released version 2.0.0, which embraces modern Java development practices.Check it out here: https://www.soklet.comI was looking for something that captured the spirit of projects like Express (Node), Flask (Python), and Sinatra (Ruby) but
