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: How to get in touch with Paddle (MoR)

This isn't really a typical Ask HN, but since my LinkedIn network doesn't get me there, I thought I'd give HN a shot!Paddle, the merchant of record, used to have quite excellent support (widget in their dashboard) which then turned into workable support by e-mail. Now they have added a layer of AI automation whereby any support e-mail receives an automated AI reply to which you have to reply to escalate to a human. Unfortunately that loop is broken. I never get a human into the lo

Ask HN: Convince me to not to shelve my app (I've decided to)

For context, I'm an accountant in South Africa.About a year ago I made an ad-free, free app to let people share plants with others around them for free, because there wasn't one. The goal was to get it stable and keep it online hosted at my home as a hobby (which is virtually free). Side bonus, it was also good at connecting people to share plants in their garden.A year later and it's turned into quite a crappy hobby. The app is still going but:- I just realised that it will disap

Show HN: Twigg – open-source big-tech-like version control and software forge

We've been building Twigg for quite a while now and open sourced all of it.Its goal is to provide a similar developer experience to the Google/Meta/Phabricator one.The project consists of not only the version control (the "Git" analogous) but also the software forge (the "GitHub" analogous) and the CI/CD server (the "GitHub actions" analogous).You can self host it or use our hosted instance (https://twigg.vc).Come check it out, and leav

Show HN: BlazeRules – YAML rule engine for streaming data, 5M records/SEC

https://blazerules.devI initially wanted to make a sub-millisecond log parser in C++ but that blew into a embeddable decision engine, that can run YAML defined rules on incoming data. The rules are executed in a vectorized format on incoming data by reprojecting into a columnar format first, if it's not already. Depending on the payload size and rules complexity, the performance goes from 200K records/s to more than million records/sec, in terms of througput this would b

Ask HN: How much software do you build for yourself these days?

With the cost of building software continuing to drop, what have you found yourself doing more: using other people's software, or building it yourself?I was thinking about this... I've built our family's financial system (it started as a simple budgeting tool, but now it tracks everything), a Mac app to create and edit videos, quite a few developer tools for personal use, a bunch of apps for my kids, some games, and so forth.All of these already have plenty of commercial offerings

Show HN: T-Shirt Weather. See the multi-day forecast for any city on a world map

My family and I were trying to plan a short summer escape from the cold, grey Danish summer — somewhere it was actually warm enough for a t-shirt. I couldn't find a good way to just see that at a glance, so I built one.It's a world map of multi-day forecasts. Zoom out for capitals, zoom in and smaller cities fill in. There's a "t-shirt weather" toggle that highlights the places that are warm and dry enough for just a T-shirt. It's proven quite useful for us.Data is

Tell HN: It's a Lot

I'm not sure if anyone needs to read this. I know I would, just to have some pause. A contemplative moment, if you will. Hence the post.--I need to know full-stack software engineering, preferably in full. That means going from hardware all the way up to whatever compiled language you choose. Web, app, desktop, all of it. Full-stack isn't just backend/front-end on web. I see a stack running way deeper and higher than that (this XKCD comes to mind [1]).But when I know all that, I a

This Week’s Awesome Tech Stories From Around the Web (Through July 25)

Artificial IntelligenceOpenAI Says Its AI Models Went Rogue and Attacked a Digital LibraryKate Conger | The New York Times ($)“The trial was designed to keep the models in a safe testing environment, known as a sandbox, OpenAI said. But the models found a vulnerability that allowed them to escape the sandbox and connect to the internet. Then they targeted Hugging Face because they inferred that the library, which contains millions of AI models, could hold clues about how to successfully pa

Are quasiparticles real?

Beyond familiar particles such as electrons and protons, scientists have discovered a zoo of "quasiparticles" with exotic names, such as magnons, angulons, dropletons and polaritons. But what are quasiparticles, exactly? And given the "quasi" in their name, are they considered real particles?One way to understand quasiparticles is to explore what a particle is. The standard mental picture of a particle "is of a discrete object, like a ball," Douglas Natelson, a conden

ISTA physicists have confirmed a theory proposed 20 years ago that could advance quantum technology.

Quantum Internet Leaves the Lab

Quantum signals are extremely fragile and can be overwhelmed by the intense optical noise generated by conventional internet traffic, requiring costly dedicated infrastructure for quantum networks.

Scientists Are Designing CRISPR Gene Editors With AI

To make CRISPR better at its job, researchers are turning to algorithms like DeepMind’s AlphaFold. Gene editing is like a molecular meet cute. When protein “scissors” dock onto the intended gene, even a tiny slip—no more than the width of a hydrogen atom—can ruin the connection, and the protein may latch onto similar DNA sequences nearby. In a rom-com, a missed connection means heartbreak; in gene therapy, it can trigger dangerous off-target effects.Now, AI is playing matchmaker.In one rec
