EA is killing an iconic racing game franchise from the original PlayStation

My favourite racing game of all time is Codemasters’ Colin McRae Rally for the original Sony PlayStation console. Graphically, for the time, it felt ahead of the curve. The car would get dirtier as you ripped around the dirt rally circuits, and you could choose from all of the official cars in the World Rally [...]

‘They got rid of some of our best talent’: How Trump is hacking away at  America’s cyber defenses

“We’ve had many, many threats against our nation,” President Trump said in the Oval Office in November 2018, as he announced the creation of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Now “we’re putting people that are the best in the world in charge,” he said, “and I think we’re going to have a whole different ball game.” 

Eight years later, his second administration is ripping up parts of the country’s cyber playbook and taking many of its best players off

Show HN: ART – a new open-source RL framework for training agents

Hey HN, I wanted to share a new project we've been working on for the last couple of months called ART (https://github.com/OpenPipe/ART).

ART is a new open-source framework for training agents using reinforcement learning (RL). RL allows you to train an agent to perform better at any task whose outcome can be measured and quantified.

There are many excellent projects focused on training LLMs with RL, such as GRPOTrainer (

Show HN: Create your own finetuned AI model using Google Sheets

Hello HN,

We built Promptrepo to make finetuning accessible to product teams — not just ML engineers. Last week, OpenAI’s CPO shared how they use fine-tuning for everything from customer support to deep research, and called it the future for serious AI teams. Yet most teams I know still rely on prompting, because fine-tuning is too technical, while the people who have the training data (product managers and domain experts) are often non-technical. With Promptrepo, they can now:

Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away

In my long career as an “almost digital entrepreneur” (a fancy way to say I’ve tried a thousand things online without making a single cent), I never really felt that “this is it, I’m so close, I’ll finally quit everything and update my passport: job title? SaaS founder.”

(Small detail: I don’t even have a passport. But I like to imagine that if I did, I’d want something cooler than “unemployed creative” written on it).

For years, I collected side projects, hobbies, half-dead MVPs, and ra

Every friend group has one person who’s always running late. If you can’t think of one, chances are you’re that friend.

Now, a newly launched app called Lately is here to help you stay on time for everything from meetings to dinner plans. Created by developer Erik MacInnis, Lately sends users timely nudges—30, 10, and five minutes before it’s time to leave.

Sebevražedná dronová střela Lumberjack vypouští přesně naváděnou submunici

Jedna z možných poloh deváté planety (Planet Nine)

Na základě změn sluneční aktivity a společné synchronizace orbit TNO objektů (Batygin a Brown 2016) se s největší pravděpodobností ukazuje, že na periferii naší Sluneční soustavy se nachází jedna planeta o hmotnosti větší než Země – planeta Nine (Planet IX) (Kalenda a kol. 2018). Pro určení aktuální polohy planety Nine nepostačují údaje o její možné orbitě, protože rozsah možných poloh je velice široký, téměř polovina orbity (Reimann 2017). http://www.osel.cz/14030-jedna-z-moznych-poloh-devate-p
