News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yeah, it does make the stories a lot more readable, HN just has bullet points of links making it slightly hard to follow everything the only thing the site is missing is a games tab like the NY Times.
This sounds like one of their strategies to make more money from businesses, but the article says the proposed bill could harm the businesses its targeting financially.
Yeah, two crashes in such a short span of time conspicuously show ineptness. The article mentions that it was failure of the train system, the system had not been upgraded which is disconcerting when you realize a similar crash happened not too long ago. It should have been upgraded and maintained after the first crash months ago. The crash from months ago was an admonishment.

Show HN: News article bias detector tool

https://aethelgard.news/

I built a news article bias detector tool. You paste the link of any article into it and it will give the article a bias rating from 1 - 7. It scores based on loaded wording in the article, the acknowledgement of different perspectives and if they're justified. It checks for vital information that the article leaves out and allows users to dispute the ratings given, it's in the niche of ground...

Re:Ask HN: Are you tired too in this AI era? on Friday October 30, 2026 @07:29AM (#50302526)
I agree, I just mostly think of LLMs as tools that help me to complete tasks efficiently, I am not being fatigued by the AI though when it comes to projects, I let the AI write and I don't review code as much as I used to.
That's exactly what I thought as well, especially if the transaction is done electronically, it should be traced back to the person who made unlike with cash.

If you ask Claude to write some code for some feature, I will write so many lines of code probably hundreds of lines that's a lot of code to review. I think it would serve you well to understand 40 to 50% of the code not knowing what's going on in the codebase will make you feel contrition later.
Re:Who Pays for AI Data Centers? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @03:48PM (#50224479)
Yeah, This is a big issue and why everyone in the media and ordinary people just dissent and chasten the idea of AI data centers.
Re:Who Pays for AI Data Centers? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @03:15PM (#50224181)
Well the AI firms pay for the construction of the data centers. Apparently, the average person also pays with higher electricity bills and water bills because the AI data centres consume a lot of electricity and water. Though Altman has said that the claim of data centers using absurd amounts of water is a false claim.
Re:Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner's phone on Friday October 23, 2026 @07:13AM (#50207205)
I understand he is a billionaire and transfer of money from different banks around the world is axiomatic for him, but why would he be involved in payments involving assassins I think more tangible evidence is needed.
I think this depends on the individual you're asking, I mean if you can prompt you can build right. Though the way I see it is a developer is someone who can leverage AI to help them complete tasks more efficiently then if they were doing those tasks manually like system design and architecture or finding bugs much faster than a professional developer could.
Yeah Amazon is another example I mean they do a lot of things too. AWS has changed software and Amazon prime which is a vehement competitor to Netflix and disney+ market share.
yeah like I've used AI to build me app to automate editing short clips which would have taken me a long time to make, if I coded them by myself. This is good but then it make you question why a software firm would hire you or keep you if there is a tool that can do this.
Yeah, actually trying to specialize in everything constraints the firm's growth. Though diversifying can always bring some much-needed revenue like you said with Samsung or Tata in India.
I agree, OpenAI is one of the leaders of the industry and the vision they have sold to investors of the great advancement of the human race is why they are valued at 852bn. Though most outlets and statistics say they are not making a profit, it's also just more axiomatic that OpenAI would focus on their firm's core business which is AI. Building another 100 companies is futile for them, though a little diversification can be advantageous.
Yeah, there are conflicting views in the industry about whether LLM's will make more jobs overall or kill off jobs. The ostentatiously virtuous thing is the ability for developers to make software faster.
I think it the amalgamation of an ailing global economy, AI and clients not having cash. The number of layoffs due to AI is ghastly and absurd, firms use AI to pick potential employees and then again due to AI I think many tech firms are just not hiring developers that much.
The creed of the system makes us all so insular.

I think in a time where most kids doomscroll from the age of 5, just cajoling your children to read books incessantly would be a good way for them to learn and become articulate.
Re:The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @12:41PM (#50183842)
The agreement was made in 2017, it was probably never viable as there was no solidarity globally to reaching that target, the biggest emitters just didn't see the need to lower emissions.
