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
Daily briefing: Why all living cells emit a faint glow
<p>Nature, Published online: 28 July 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02363-1">doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02363-1</a></p>The emission of ‘biophotons’ could be a cell’s way of communicating with its neighbours. Plus, a ‘timer’ in the brain that tracks sleep and who is accountable when physicians and AI work together.
Show HN: Jobsearch – unified CLI for scraping job boards
Author here. Got tired of checking Upwork, NoFluffJobs, eFinancialCareers, LinkedIn and HN threads separately, so I built a CLI that scrapes them into a local SQLite DB and lets me browse everything in one web UI with filters and semantic search.Details:- Scraping via real browser over CDP (your own logged-in session, no API keys)- Embeddings run locally (nomic-embed-text via fastembed), stored in Lance- Rust backend, SolidJS frontend embedded in binary, single static executableWorks for my use
Show HN: I run 30B 22tok/s, 109tok/s not novel,6GB/16GB RAM overcoming llama.cpp
Democratisation of local AI is key.
I've been working on pushing the limits of commercial hardware, squeezing any extra bit possible. My Scientific Agentic AI hareness helped me to reallocate every single bit of it.
I rewrote the Kernel, I went down the CUDA rabbit hole until I have been able to explain any bit and any ms of computational power involved in the process pushing the Qwen 30B-A3B from 8 tok7s to 19 tok/s with llama.cpp up to 22.2 tok/s with my project and 109 tok/
Show HN: A new engine to run Kimi K3 on a laptop
Kimi K3 has 2.78 trillion parameters and ships as 1.42 TB of weights. It clearly does not fit in the memory of a laptop.
But K3 is a Mixture-of-Experts model. For each token, only a small fraction of its 896 experts per layer is activated. That changes the problem: the entire model does not need to be resident in RAM, as long as the weights required by each token can be reached quickly enough.We built WASTE — the Weight-Aware Streaming Tensor Engine — to explore that idea.WASTE keeps the dense,
Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
Hi HN,I built a specialized inference engine for running 4-bit Gemma 4 26B-A4B-IT on any M-series Mac using about 2 GB of RAM. It is called TurboFieldfare and is written in Swift and Metal.I have always adored on-device AI. It feels like magic that you can run a powerful NN on your Mac or iPhone. So I wanted to push the limits a bit and run a model whose weights don’t fit in memory.The model’s 4-bit quantized weights occupy roughly 14 GB, which makes running it with conventional inference tools
Show HN: DynoTable – The DynamoDB GUI with real SQL and your AI agent
I've been using DynamoDB every day for work and I needed a fast, keyboard first, modern desktop client that will allow me to query, aggregate, edit items in few clicks and that integrates well with Claude Code or Codex. I didn't like any existing solutions. I have been using Dynobase for some time but its quite outdated by now and there are no new versions since 2023.DynoTable is a fast, keyboard first DynamoDB GUI desktop client for Mac, Windows and Linux.Some of the features:- SQL Wo
Qwen 3.7 or 3.8 30B – 100B. QWhen?
I'm not quite following the news.<p>Is it true?<p>When will the Qwen versions of this size be released?
Show HN: Cynative – Read-only CLI in Go that explains your live infrastructure
Hey, we built an open-source CLI in Go purposed to help you answer security questions across your cloud, code and runtime. It connects to your GitHub, GitLab, AWS, GCP, Azure & K8s using the credentials that are already in your shell, while limiting itself to read-only.The core innovation here is the trust boundary - our agent has a built-in code execution sandbox with no host or network access; it is exposed to an internal tool which we call an “action gate” that performs read-only HTTP req
Show HN: The Rise of Open Weights – a long scroll story
Over the weekend I was discussing the latest news relating to open weights with some of my non-techie friends. After 30 mins of waffling, I realised it is quite a long and interesting story, with many twists and turns.I've always wanted to create a 'long scroll' story, but have never found a suitable story to tell. This felt like a fun weekend project to undertake.The story itself doesn't have too many scroll effects (which is probably a good thing), it was more about trying
Show HN: Flashpaper – Self-destructing secret sharing with no database
Hi everyone! This is my first HN and I’m very new to the scene. My name is Min from Bangkok.At first, I just want to create a dead man's switch for personal use and for fun. then, I think about information that self destruct like a spy movie. after that, I try to come up with the better version of Privnote or Bitwarden with self-destruct and some kind of censoring or blocking download ability. Somehow, end up with this product. :OFlashpaper is for sending any information that would be burne
Show HN: Could you please check out my social media website/mobile app?
Greetings,
I would like to know why or why you wouldn't use Brainbustle.com It is for those who hate social media as much as those who like it. We are all aware of the industries shortcoming and missed opportunities and this is an attempt to rectify that for those interested. We have gone about it attempting to do every single aspect with the best of intentions. I am interested to see what people value most/least since there are lot of subtle features with various uses. Of course I w
Show HN: Experiments with Weather Data
I had been wanting to try experimenting with nowcasting since the death of Dark Sky and finally got around to it. This application essentially became a playground for me to experiment with various weather datasets and geospatial visualizations.Some interesting concepts that came from it:The nowcast is using pySTEPS optical flow under the hood: https://pysteps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/plot_.... This library is super cool. It bugged me that every radar v
Four Competing AIs Answer 1 Classic Question
I sought advice from four mainstream A.Is for a basic consumer use case question and to me, the differing style of the answers are quite revealing.Premise: A poorly hung clothes dryer spectacularly ripped from the wall whilst on and tumbling, smashing into the washing machine beneath and trying to exit out the laundry door in a manner reminiscent of Stephen King's haunted laundromat story The Mangler.After all the shards of glass, wall plaster etc were cleared up, the six month old washing
Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
Hi HN, Rohit here from Tokenless (https://usetokenless.com/), which I’m building alongside co-founders Andrew and Kev. We’re building an API gateway which routes agent traffic dynamically turn-by-turn between different models to save on AI spend.The cost of AI tokens is top-of-mind for many. Companies like Uber and Salesforce have been complaining about blowing their yearly AI spend faster than expected.Frontier models are amazing for dev work, but are so expensive. Open-source mo
Rare-earth ions could enable telecom-ready control of interacting qubits
Quantum technologies are devices and systems that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics and could perform tasks that are difficult or impossible to tackle using their classical counterparts. These technologies process and store information using qubits (i.e., quantum bits), which can exist in a superposition of multiple states simultaneously.
A tiny molecular basket unlocks a powerful new kind of chemistry
Rice University chemists have found a new way to make neodymium, a rare-earth metal, interact with oxygen. Using a specially designed molecular structure described as a “basket,” the team positioned the atoms so they could form a bond once thought unlikely. The breakthrough produced highly reactive compounds that could eventually give chemists alternatives to iron-based molecules used in biological reactions and chemical manufacturing.
