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: Design is Code – UML to TDD tests that constrain AI code generation
Two root causes make AI code generation unreliable:Natural language isn't a contract. It's ambiguous by nature. Same prompt, different code, every time. There's no determinism.Cost is asymmetric. AI generates at zero cost with zero responsibility. You review at high cost with full responsibility.These compound. Ambiguous input produces unpredictable output. Unpredictable output demands expensive review. And if no one designed the code, no one can defend the architecture, no one ca
Ask HN: Did AI tools measurably increase productivity of your engineering teams?
I lead a small engineering team and while basically everyone is enthusiastically using claude code and the like there is not really an obvious change of <i>output</i>.<p>Of course this has always been hard to quantify but the number of tickets completed every week is roughly steady. This does not seem to match self reported efficiency gains.<p>How has this been going for you?
Show HN: PiQrypt – Cryptographic audit trail for AI agents (Ed25519, Dilithium3)
AI agents are making decisions that affect money, infrastructure, and users —
but most systems rely on editable logs.I built PiQrypt to explore whether an AI agent can have a
cryptographically verifiable decision history.Each event is:
- Ed25519 signed
- SHA-256 hash chained
- Fork-detectable
- Optionally RFC 3161 timestamped
- Optional post-quantum (Dilithium3 / ML-DSA-65)The goal isn't blockchain or consensus —
it's agent identity continuity and tamper-evident history.MIT licens
Show HN: Localvoxtral – Local real-time dictation on macOS with streaming STT
I built a native macOS menu bar app for real-time dictation that can run fully on-device.Most dictation tools, even local ones, use Whisper or similar offline models: you record, then wait for the transcript. Localvoxtral uses Mistral's Voxtral Realtime, one of the first open-source speech models with a natively streaming architecture. Words appear as you speak, not after you stop. It feels closer to someone typing along as you talk.Press a shortcut, speak, and text gets typed directly into
Show HN: GDBS – Browser geometric physics engine replacing HPC cluster workloads
I built a physics computation platform that replaces brute-force numerical PDE solvers with analytic geometry evaluated in a 13D coordinate space. Instead of discretizing onto million-cell meshes and iterating to convergence on a supercomputer, GDBS maps physical systems into geometric positions where observables become exact coordinates. Evaluation is O(N) instead of O(N³), so what takes HPC clusters hours runs in <100ms in WebAssembly in the browser.7 physics domains: plasma/fusion, ma
Off Grid: On-device AI-web browsing, tools, vision, image gen, voice – 3x faster
Nine days ago I posted Off Grid here and you showed up - 124 points, 66 comments, bug reports I fixed same-day, and the kind of feedback that makes open source worth it.You told me what you wanted.
Here's what I shipped:
Your AI can now use tools - entirely offline.Web search, calculator, date/time, device info - with automatic tool loops.Your 3B parameter model doesn't just generate text anymore. It reasons, calls tools, and synthesizes results.On your phone. No API key. No serv

Clearing the path for turbulence-free quantum communication
A University of Ottawa team has developed a new way to protect free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) from atmospheric turbulence, one of the main causes of distortion and errors when sending quantum information through air. Their paper, "All-optical turbulence mitigation for free-space quantum key distribution using stimulated parametric down-conversion," appears in the journal Optica.
