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

Ask HN: Is anyone else feeling bad about Reddit's mechanisms

Hello, I recently encountered a slew of events that didn't quite sit right with me and I needed to get this off my chest. Note that this is NOT an appeal to get un-infracted. I just feel really unhappy and I need to talk about it in relation to the question in the title.For context, Reddit encourages use of alts/alternative accounts, which is baked into its own app UX (same device alt switching).#### Incident 1 Slightly under a year ago, r/Glowups had a rule where all accounts who

Show HN: Pokayoke – turn code conventions into checks for agents

Hey HN,Something I've been tinkering with in the background is a system to manage the "messy-middle" of TypeScript toolchains. Quite often, when I'm using Biome or any of the other linter / formatters, there will be repo conventions that I want to enforce (especially with AI agents), but which aren't supported by them, such as:- Enforcing lines-of-code limits in modules - Never using custom TailWind colors - Only using lowercase underscores in filenamesLike, this is

GitHub banned my account after my projects suddenly spiked on Reddit

Hi everyone,I'm used to write (low-level) C and Win32 apps. Recently, I shared some of my open-source projects on Reddit. They got quite a bit of traction, resulting in a sudden spike of visitors and lot of unique Git clones in a few hours. This is one of my post, just to let you see what kind of code I'm used to write:https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsapps/comments/1uw30gd/explorerbgtoolredux_a_refactoringrewrite_of_the/Shortly after, I realized m

Show HN: Fly a nano-drone from your terminal (Rust TUI)

in action video: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f349595d-bece-4ac...I wanted a Rust learning project and for this I created a TUI to control a crazyflie from the terminal. Besides free flight with wasd + arrow keys it can record while flying and play that back. Missions can also be planned in advance and just executed (with different flying modes). The crazyflie only has a flow deck, a downwards pointing camera and distance sensor, for its position - so ther

Show HN: I kept rewriting scripts for my teams, so I built a visual tool instead

Hi HN, I'm Nuru. Ipek is a desktop automation app that resulted from my laziness: automating API calls, Excel/CSV parsing locally, OCR and LLM calls by hand; they all take too much time to maintain, especially when various teams request additional tools on top of those scripts.So I built a visual workflow builder where my non-technical teams can run those deterministic workers themselves, see the logs, and produce the outputs on their own machines. They can also connect the localhost M

Show HN: Da Ultimate Rap Battle: 564 dope-ass rap songs, ranked

Hey HN, this is a world cup-style tournament for over 500 rap songs I've saved in my liked songs in Spotify over the years. It was really fun to work on!Lots of good stuff from NWA, Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Eminem, Nas, and more.Tournaments are a good way to separate the wheat from the chaff in any high-dimensional space like music, and it's really fun to have no idea which track's actually gonna take the top spot until it's all over.As a mostly-backend/data

Show HN: Book a Billboard in NYC Times Square

It works quite similar to sharing a cab.Instead of one large brand paying for an entire slot, multiple smaller brands share the screen rotation and split the cost. We already have blocked slots so you don't have to worry about not making it.The result is a much lower entry price while still getting your brand displayed in NYC Times Square, which you can post on your socials to gain trust and visibility.We have launched on PH as well and would love your feedback. I'm really excited for

A scheme to verify gates of a quantum computer without examining devices

Quantum computers, systems that process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, could solve some problems that cannot be tackled by the classical computers currently used worldwide. Despite their potential, verifying that these computers are working correctly and can reliably perform computations remains challenging.

How an influx of salt may affect microbial ecosystems

As sea levels rise due to climate change, encroaching sea water will likely make freshwater environments saltier. In a new study, MIT researchers have shown how that increase in salinity might affect microbial ecosystems found in environments such as rivers and estuaries.These microbial communities play important roles in the carbon cycle, and they also help to decompose organic matter such as algae. The MIT team found that when salt levels rise, these populations lose diversity as faster-growin
