LLMs are breaking 20 year old system design
The ‘cloud-native’ architecture of the last decade is built on a 20-year-old assumption: that state lives in the database, and compute is stateless. If you want to scale, you scale the database vertically (get a larger machine) [1][1] or design the database schema around partition the data and you scale your application servers horizontally (add […]
Claude for Small Business
We’re launching Claude for Small Business—a package of connectors and ready-to-run workflows that put Claude inside the tools small businesses depend on—to help small business owners take full advantage of AI and cross off items on the to-do list. Small businesses account for 44% of U.S. GDP and employ nearly half the private-sector workforce, but […]
Arena AI Model ELO History
Why this exists? AI labs frequently update their models post-launch. These updates sometimes introduce ”nerfs” such as aggressive censorship, excessive quantization (to save compute costs), or behavioral degradation. This chart exposes these hidden trends. Note on Web UIs vs. API: LMSYS Arena tests model performance via API endpoints (the ”raw” model). Consumer chat interfaces (like […]
Show HN: Nibble
Nibble is C-like systems programming language. Nibble was written in 3000 lines of C to demonstrate an approach to LLVM IR generation without relying on external dependencies or heap allocations. Nibble supports defer, recursion, integer, floating, and boolean types, structs (simply named types), GLSL-like struct operators, pointers, function pointers, branching, loops, type checking, basic C […]
Cisco Workforce Reductions
This afternoon, we shared the following email with Cisco employees. — Team, Today we announced our Q3 FY26 earnings with record revenue of $15.8 billion, up 12 percent year over year, and double-digit top and bottom-line growth. The ELT and I could not be prouder of the growth you have all delivered for Cisco. These […]
Avoiding and reducing microplastic false positives from dry glove contact
To attenuate microplastics pollution, we first must quantify the number and types of microplastics found in the natural environment and identify their sources. Quantifying environmental microplastics requires distinguishing synthetic polymers from other naturally occurring species. Quality assurance and control measures – including wearing gloves when handling laboratory materials and samples – seek to reduce overestimating […]

Today Intercom becomes Fin
Sometimes you see a corporate announcement that’s so obvious and so late, it’s almost an admission of failure. And I’m open to feedback on how I should have pulled the trigger on this change much sooner. But the tech industry is so littered with awkward and arguably unsuccessful name changes that I thought it prudent […]
Tell HN: Dont use Claude Design, lost access to my projects after unsubscribing
I wanted to try codex after 5 months of claude code max subscription. And then I went back to my previous projects on claude design only to realize I don’t have access to them anymore. This is a first. I never lost access to any of my past sessions because I unsubscribed in any of […]
