Chinese scientists have genetically tweaked a fungus to make protein-rich “meat”, which they say can be a low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to chicken. Studies have shown that raising ...

"A lot of people still eat it. I've eaten it when my grandmother would make it, but I'm too nervous to attempt it myself."
Some of these stories really make me understand why they say "don't meet your heroes"...
Consumers and restaurants continue to avoid meat alternatives, and Beyond Meat’s outlook suggests things could get tougher from here, as the company tries to expand into new but increasingly ...
Why do Taylor Swift and I have the same phone? We don’t wear the same clothes: she wears custom designer clothes and I wear Costco specials. We don’t eat the same food: she eats organic hand-picked arugula and I eat frozen meals. We don’t travel the same way: she flies in a private jet and I take the subway with two hundred strangers. Yet, we both have an iPhone. In fact, a lot of rich people seem to have iPhones. It is weird that rich people aren’t using a more luxurious version of the iPhone.
Hey HN! I built https://withmurph.ai, an open-source personal health assistant to help you build healthy habits that actually stick. Everyone has something they want to improve, but it's way too hard to change your behavior.I've been using Murph myself for weeks, I've started a few sleep improvement experiments with Murph that've improved my deep sleep already, and run some challenges over group-text with friends.Murph has three key features 1) Talk to Murph on iMes
Hi HN, i am Dimitris,I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding.For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage.So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for codin
I had a pain point with my watch, so I built something to address it.A watch should do one thing well, and today it doesn't: help me avoid missing my next meeting/event. That's it. Fashion and decoration are secondary. Even knowing what time it is is secondary. The original reason for a watch is to get to the next thing on time.And this wasn't really possible before smartwatches, since you couldn't connect the calendar. But now you can. Android Wear solved this a long ti
Hey HN, we’re Nitish and Prateek, the founders of Coasty (https://coasty.ai/computer-use). We’re building computer-use agents that can complete workflows inside legacy desktop software and web applications without usable APIs.Developers send Coasty a natural-language task either through our consumer app or through our API, select a machine or browser environment, and any relevant credentials or files. The agent then operates the interface through screenshots, mouse, and keyboard i
I notice that HN has a super anti sports bet bias so before you jump me considerate the uniqueness of sports bets in the vast landscape of financial bets one can make.1) It's the only field in which you don't need the consensus to solidify around your position in order to make money, as a matter of fact you HOPE that the consensus doesn't solidify around your position until the gameclock reaches 0:00 and your prediction becomes true.2) Thanks to prediction markets though (and the
This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'
Hey,Tired of maintaining massive regex rulesets to catch WAF bypasses, my team and I built hCAWN – a completely zero-signature, pure-math WAF.Instead of known signatures, it catches 0-days using a hybrid model running on <200MB VRAM (via dynamic batching):LLM Cognitive Shock: A highly quantized Gated Attention model that spikes on structural anomalies (e.g., Log4Shell, SSTI).Syntax Jitter: A mathematical calculation of chaos and transitions between alphanumeric characters and special symbols.
I created the kind of product that would actually help me pass the coding round. Never in my life have I ever advanced past the coding round. Couldn't do it to save my life. But now, I have a tutor who can explain and morph problems and explain them to me in a smooth brained way until I get it. Since the visuals also follow the tutors explanation, I can iterate until a DSA pattern sticks and solution patterns are easy for my brain to reproduce when in the hot seat. Try it out, find a proble
Two weeks ago I was on my babymoon in Corfu, Greece. While in transit, I was overseeing a GSoC intern submit an important feature to my array database library, Xarray-SQL. He added `to_dataset()`, which completed the roundtrip between thinking of array data in a tabular model simultaneously as gridded rasters (the premise of the project is that every Nd array can be mapped to 2d, where orthogonal dims of the Nd array are just primary keys of a tabular representation). We discussed in chat, now t
Hi HN,If you are into fitness, I hope you’ll find this interesting.I’ve been building a fitness app around a question that ordinary activity summaries and fitness apps don’t answer particularly well:“How hard did this session ask my body to work?”Imagine two friends running a 5K together at 5:30/km. Same route, same distance and the same 27:30 finish time.In the synthetic example linked here, they even have the same average heart rate. Most fitness apps would treat those runs as virtually i
Hey everyone, Suchintan from Skyvern (YC S23) here.We're open sourcing something we built internally: Rustwright: Playwright on an in-process Rust CDP engine. It’s a full rewrite of Playwright in Rust using CDP, which consumes 70% less memory than Playwright’s node driver, and is 2.55x faster to boot.We run a lot of browser automations at Skyvern, and while we were doing some performance tuning, we realized the playwright driver was the source of a lot of wasted memory and CPU cycles. We bu
When we believe in something beyond our immediate experience, and in turn, perceive it as “knowledge,” what truly matters isn’t the “understanding” but rather the “working out” towards articulating it.It seems that our minds are inherently encrypted when subjected to knowledge, and language too, seems to function like passwords on a computer. It propels us forward, but once we grasp it; more on the act than the linguistic aspect, the very act of articulation itself loses its meaning (overthrown
Hello HN crew -I am seeing the tendency for people to allow AI agents to access local project & user folders, and beyond (operating system files).I thought to ask the question: How can we best use AI tools safely - where the workflow often runs local system commands and network commands - to protect the integrity of our systems & data AND be easy enough to use productively?Comment structure idea:Operating system / Agent harness / Agent / Security strategy & tool stack
