Traditional SDK generators rely on static templates that produce rigid, machine-generated code. When the API changes, these generators completely overwrite the SDK, destroying any custom modifications developers have made. The result is brittle code that looks artificia

Hey there HN! We're Antonio and Luca, and we're excited to introduce Smooth, a state-of-the-art browser agent that is 5x faster and 7x cheaper than Browser Use (https://docs.circlemind.co/performance).
We built Smooth because existing browser agents were slow, expensive, and unreliable. Even simple tasks could take minutes and cost dollars in API credits.
We started as users of Browser Use, but the pain was obvious. So we

Apple has sent out invites for its next special event on September 9, 2025, titled 'Awe dropping' – here are 5 things to expect.

Even after the Switch 2's launch, Nintendo is reportedly still holding back on providing studios with development kits.

Websites, offices, and phone lines all unavailable following what appears to be a cyberattack.

Leica’s next M series camera could launch in October, and seems set to supplant its costly rangefinder component with a much more affordable alternative.

AirPods Max still sound great, but the best headphones make them look terribly dated

LG quietly lists new 49-inch 5K UltraWide monitor in Singapore but strangely omits Thunderbolt support.

Rokid Glasses are launching internationally at a cheaper price, but later than Meta's rumored smart glasses with a display.

GMKtec’s NucBox M6 Ultra offers Ryzen power, Radeon graphics, upgrade potential, and budget pricing, raising doubts about durability.

I tend to buy a lot of USB cables because they “somehow” go missing… It’s definitely not my fault that I lend them to friends, stash them in bags and forget about them, or trust my kid to take care of them! Regardless, if you’re in the same boat and need some super-fast cables, here’s a great deal for you: get a pair of

One of the best ways to free up space on a cluttered desk is to take your monitor off its stand and mount it on an adjustable arm. You’d be surprised by how much extra space you can reclaim just by doing that! But with ultrawide monitors, that’s easier said than done. Ultrawides are much larger, after all, and that means much heavier.

AT&T is set to acquire $23 billion worth of spectrum licenses from EchoStar, the parent company of Dish Network, Sling TV and Boost Mobile. The deal will see AT&T gain control of approximately 50MHz of low-band and mid-band spectrum, which are frequencies commonly used in 5G and LTE networks.

A while ago I was looking for information on a obscure and short lived British computer. I found an article[1] in the archives of BYTE magazine[2] - and was captivated immediately by the tech adverts of bygone eras. This led to a long side project to be able to see all 100k pages of BYTE in a single searchable place.

Hey HN,
I'm a C++ algorithms engineer, and today I'd like to share my first full-stack web project: PrivyDrop.
This project was born from two ideas:
First, I wanted to solve a daily annoyance of mine: I needed a simple, AirDrop-like way to send text, links, or screenshots between my phone and PC. I tried many tools, but they either required me to sign up, had various limitations, or uploaded my data to their servers, which I was never comfortable with.
Second, this was a personal exp
