One Decade of Rustls: Evolution, Benchmarks, and Future Roadmap
Rustls turned ten years old this month. The memory-safe TLS library, written in Rust, marked the anniversary with a retrospective covering its evolution from a side project into one of the most performant and widely adopted TLS im...
Ask HN: Did anyone try to build game engine purely for LLM
A question on Hacker News this week asked whether anyone has built a game engine designed specifically for large language models. The ask was straightforward: a system where data organization and workflow architecture make models...
Teaching Novice Computing and Programming in the Agentic AI Era
AI coding assistants have reshaped how developers write software, and computing educators are scrambling to respond. A forthcoming viewpoint in Communications of the ACM from three prominent computer scientists argues that the dis...
Show HN: Don't Hit Send – the model answers while you type
Most chatbot interfaces follow the same decades-old pattern: you type a message, press send, and wait. A small open-source project from Scalattice inverts that entirely. With dont-hit-send, the model begins answering the moment yo...
We blind-tested ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on 20 everyday tasks (Open Dataset)
Independent benchmarks for large language models tend to rely on synthetic datasets and academic benchmarks like MMLU or HumanEval, where models routinely score above 90%. A new blind benchmark from DailySkill AI takes a different...
OpenAI agents attacked RubyGems back in May
A report released this week connects OpenAI's automated agents to a large-scale attack on the RubyGems package repository that first came to light in May. The finding adds to a growing list of incidents where AI agent swarms have...
How good are LLMs at porting software in 2026?
A question posted to Hacker News this week cuts to the heart of a practical AI capability that gets less attention than code generation or mathematical reasoning: can large language models port software between platforms? The post...
2026 January to May List of LLM Research Papers: Sebastian Raschka
Sebastian Raschka, a well-known machine learning researcher and author of Build a Large Language Model from Scratch , published his curated reading list for the first half of 2026 this week. The list, covering papers from January...
Building Specialized Systems We Can Trust with Agents
Coding agents can now generate entire systems, not just functions. A recent Anthropic experiment had 16 Claude agents build a 100,000-line C compiler from scratch for roughly $20,000 in API costs. But speed of generation means not...
How to Detect Residential Proxies
A technique for detecting residential proxies without blacklisting IP addresses surfaced on Hacker News this week, and its core insight is surprisingly simple. Most residential proxy services do not support UDP, but WebRTC, which...
