A comprehensive analysis of Hacker News engagement data from 2025 has identified the five blogs that dominated the platform's discussions. The findings reveal a clear shift toward practical, foundational content over flashy tech announcements, with surprising consistency across the year.
In a surprising reversal of conventional wisdom, developers at Helix.ml discovered that replacing complex H.264 video streaming with simple JPEG screenshots delivered better performance for remote desktop applications. Their findings challenge decades of video compression assumptions and reveal when simpler solutions outperform sophisticated technology.
CES 2026 has outdone itself with products so disconnected from human needs they might as well be from another planet. From AI pets that require more maintenance than actual animals to holographic companions that judge your snack choices, this year's show proves the tech industry's innovation pipeline is officially clogged with nonsense.
Google is returning to the smart glasses arena it abandoned years ago, this time with AI as its magical buzzword shield. The move represents tech's relentless pursuit of solutions to problems nobody actually has, while ignoring the privacy concerns that made their first attempt so 'popular' with the public.
The Nvidia HGX B200 represents the pinnacle of AI compute, but its immense power has been locked away in monolithic servers. A new open-source approach is challenging the status quo, promising to democratize access to these $100,000+ systems. Here's how it works and why it could reshape cloud economics.
From gene-editing apps to AI-powered fertility trackers, 2025 saw biotech embrace Silicon Valley's worst habits. We've reached peak 'bio-disruption' where your DNA has more venture capital than common sense. Let's take a quiz to see if you can tell the real science from the science fiction.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's revelation that the company's custom AI chips are a multibillion-dollar business wasn't a declaration of war on Nvidia. It was a masterclass in vertical integration. The real story isn't about dethroning the GPU king—it's about building a fortress around AWS.
The 'Great AI Hype Correction' of 2025 sees investors asking for actual products instead of PowerPoint promises, while the silent war on GPS signals highlights a vulnerability we've blissfully ignored for decades. It's a tale of two tech crises: one of overinflated expectations, the other of willful ignorance.
When PostHog's infrastructure collapsed under a self-inflicted 'Shai-Hulud' attack, they did what any self-respecting tech company would do: wrote a post-mortem that's equal parts apology and humblebrag. Because nothing says 'we're learning' like creating a digital sandworm that consumes your entire stack.
Amazon's annual cloud extravaganza delivered exactly what we've come to expect: more ways to spend money on AWS services, now with added AI buzzwords. From chips that promise to save you money (while costing more) to AI services that 'democratize' machine learning (by making it accessible to people who shouldn't be doing machine learning), re:Invent 2025 is a masterclass in creating solutions to problems AWS helped create.
Amazon's annual cloud extravaganza delivered exactly what we've come to expect: enough new services to fill a small phone book, promises of AI solving problems that didn't exist until yesterday, and the distinct feeling that we're all just paying for Jeff Bezos' next rocket. From 'AI-powered cost optimization' (which is just a fancy way of saying 'we'll tell you why you're spending too much on us') to chips that promise to be faster than last year's chips (shocking!), re:Invent 2025 was a masterclass in tech theater.
Amazon's annual cloud extravaganza delivered exactly what we've come to expect: enough new services to fill three PhD dissertations, pricing models that require a Rosetta Stone to decipher, and the quiet, creeping realization that we're all just renting someone else's computers at a premium.
