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: Some ask, "Will chatbots ever be conscious?"; I ask, "Are you?" → Test
Yes, this is a bit of fun. The test is hard to pass. Almost as if the goalposts were on wheels.<p>As well as the test, the blog post links to my story C-Score, which is itself is also a bit of a test—some people feel deep empathy for the protagonist, and some no so much.

Show HN: Detecting LLM hallucinations in <1ms using hidden states (RTX3050, 4GB)
GitHub: https://github.com/yubainu/sibainu-engineTL;DR: I built a lightweight auditor that detects hallucinations by monitoring Transformer Hidden State Dynamics in real-time. It achieves 0.90+ ROC-AUC on Gemma/Llama-3.2/Mistral using a single RTX 3050 (4GB), with a core computation time of <1ms.What it isThe Sibainu Engine is a pre-emptive auditing layer that identifies "latent trajectory collapse"—geometric turbulence in the vector transformations bet
Show HN: CastLoom Pro – Turn podcasts into a personal knowledge base
Hi HN,I’m Ethan, an indie developer.I listen to a lot of podcasts while coding or commuting, and I often want to save interesting insights from episodes. I tried tools like MacWhisper for transcription, but it only works on macOS and the workflow didn’t quite fit what I wanted.So I built CastLoom Pro.It’s a desktop app that lets you search, play, download, transcribe, translate, and archive podcasts in one place. The idea is to turn podcasts into something searchable and reusable instead of just
PyRatatui – Python bindings for the Ratatui terminal UI library
Hi HN,I’ve been working on PyRatatui, a Python binding for the Rust terminal UI framework Ratatui.Ratatui provides a rich set of widgets and layout primitives for building terminal applications such as dashboards, monitoring tools, developer utilities, and interactive CLI programs. PyRatatui exposes this functionality to Python using PyO3 so applications can be written in Python while the rendering and layout engine runs in Rust.The goal is to combine Python’s developer ergonomics with the perfo
Ask HN: If AI makes your devs super productive, why layoff?
The recent news about the massive layoff at Block doesn’t quite add up for me.The claim by the company was that AI made their devs so efficient that they could layoff 40% of them to make the company lean and still maintain the core product.But why don’t you just keep all those super productive devs and expand into new products/verticals? You could keep your same profit margins plus have 100 random little ai-powered mission-aligned startups under your control.I’m worried that everybody is go
Ask HN: AI Agents vs. Gateways vs. Harnesses
Hi,I'd like to get everyone's take on the different components in the AI Agents ecoysystem. I find the current terminology quite confusing as it's not always obvious what I'll be actually getting when I examine the available options.A lot of things get called Agents, but that term seems hard to define as it often refers to overlapping functionality. To me, agents seem to be currently composed of the following components:## Harnesses- Adds UI and system instructions around an
Show HN: Lens – Open-weight AI model to identify fonts from images
Hi HN, I'm excited to release the weights and full inference stack of an AI model that I've been working on for the past few weeks. Lens is a font recognition model that takes an image and returns the closest matching open-source font that it finds in the image.Recognizing the closest font from an image of text accurately has always been a challenge. Even SOTA vision LLMs can detect basic characteristics like if a font is a serif or a sans-serif, but when it comes to the actual font fi
Show HN: Scryer – Visual architecture modeling for AI agents
I've been working on this desktop tool (FSL license, free for commercial use) for the past month because I now spend more time in a terminal prompting Claude Code instead of using a code editor. It generally works quite well if I ask the right questions, but I still often find a lot of dead code, stubs, or poor architectural choices when I finish a session, and understanding the codebase itself can be jarring after making major changes through vibecoding.The idea for Scryer is to provide a
Dopamine takes a hit: how neuroscience is rethinking the ‘feel-good’ chemical
<p>Nature, Published online: 17 March 2026; <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00836-x">doi:10.1038/d41586-026-00836-x</a></p>It has long been known as the arbiter of reward in the brain, but recent findings could upend this classic theory of dopamine function.
Three anesthesia drugs all have the same effect in the brain, MIT researchers find
When patients undergo general anesthesia, doctors can choose among several drugs. Although each of these drugs acts on neurons in different ways, they all lead to the same result: a disruption of the brain’s balance between stability and excitability, according to a new MIT study.This disruption causes neural activity to become increasingly unstable, until the brain loses consciousness, the researchers found. The discovery of this common mechanism could make it easier to develop new technologies
This massive crater could expose the heart of a lost planet
A mysterious metal-rich asteroid called Psyche has been baffling scientists for over two centuries, and its true origin remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in planetary science. Is it the exposed core of a failed planet, or a chaotic mix of rock and metal forged through countless violent collisions? To find out, researchers simulated how a massive crater near Psyche’s north pole formed, revealing that the asteroid’s internal “porosity” — how much empty space it contains — may hold th
