Y/n lets people play a character in a book, finally letting anyone meddle with the universes and characters they care about.

We're giving the technology to creators, so they can turn their most ingenious ideas into stories others can live in.

To date, people have sent over one billion messages on Y/n.

We run Y/n like a hedge fund: a small group of people making very big bets on model training and network effects.

You get our audience: teenagers and twenty-somethings who live on the internet and love stories and fandoms.

OTTAWA, ON, November 9, 2026 – Payments Canada today announced the launch of Canada’s Real-Time Rail (RTR).

Built in Canada and designed to serve all Canadians, the RTR provides accessible payment infrastructure through existing banking and payment channels.

Sereena Boparai, Chief Revenue OfficerParamount Commerce"The Real-Time Rail is a significant step forward for the integrity and resilience of Canada's payment infrastructure.

I want to thank Payments Canada and Finance Canada for turning a sovereign real-time payments network into a reality.

As a public-purpose organization, we own and operate: Lynx, our high-value payment system; the Automated Clearing Settlement System (ACSS), our ret…

Titled “The Ethereum Foundation Mandate,” the document featured ethereal illustrated scenes of glowing lights and anime-style characters voyaging through dark forests.

And on page 11 — nestled between a winking anime woman and three yellow cats — was a suicide pledge.

“I have a new hire joining tomorrow,” another employee wrote in a discussion about the suicide pledge, according to the lawsuit.

The mandate started an exodus at the Ethereum Foundation, according to the lawsuit.

Her lawsuit notes that the Ethereum Foundation “does not hire or pay its United States staff in its own name,” but instead uses employer-of-record service companies.

I’ve met people in real life as a result of these emails, I’ve hired people based on these emails, and I’ve learned cool things through these emails but today it’s almost all pitches.

I (had Claude) look through all the emails I’ve gotten about my posts and comments since 2013 to check my gut feeling:LLMs have made this much easier, they can write convincing emails personalized to a real comment I wrote on HN.

Something like:Hi Josh, saw your HN comment about [thing you said].

If someone took the time to email me asking a question I almost always respond to it but I’m having to rethink that policy.

Because these people are obscuring the real reason, it’s impossible to tell what is a real qu…

One elegant solution is to put crops and solar panels on the same land—and share the broad spectrum of incoming sunlight between them.

The new study suggests that broccoli can be grown in the magenta shade of these solar panels—without sacrificing the harvest.

Agrivoltaic schemes—putting plants and solar on the same land – could help us avoid clearing more land for human use.

But traditional photovoltaic panels are opaque—and by shading plants, they can reduce crop yields.

Children of Men is loosely based on the 1992 novel The Children of Men by British author P.D.

The Children of Men is about a near future in which humans can no longer produce children, and it explores the resulting social, political, and philosophical tensions in the United Kingdom.

From the ambush and Julian’s death all the way to the end, Children of Men is a chase movie.

We can’t know, because Theo and Kee don’t know, and the film never strays from its tight focus on them.

That brings us to one of the most technically interesting aspects of Children of Men, which is its brilliant cinematography.

My dark modeMy site used to have dark mode but I wasn’t happy with my colour choice and implementation.

So either provide a dark mode, or be prepared to test against every adaptive and forced dark mode implementation, or just let your website look broken.

It’s not safe to do on the root element because browsers checks that for adaptive dark mode etc.

I don’t care whether dark mode makes your eyes b…

void * my_malloc ( size_t size ) { void * p = sbrk ( align_up ( size ) ) ; return p == ( void * ) - 1 ?

We can time a syscall against malloc to see why malloc requests large blocks from the kernel and cuts them up itself.

static void * volatile sink ; static void call_getppid ( void ) { syscall ( SYS_getppid ) ; } static void call_sbrk ( void ) { sink = sbrk ( 16 ) ; } static void call_malloc ( void ) { sink = malloc ( 16 ) ; }sbrk(16) costs only 35 ns more than the empty syscall, whereas malloc(16) runs 22.7 times faster than sbrk(16) .

When more data is requested, malloc looks through this free list and splits large chunks to fit small requests, and free merges free neighbours back togeth…

A C++ Quicksort Faster Than std::sortblqsort is a very fast quicksort algorithm.

From Basic Quicksort to a Fast Branchless ImplementationThe execution times, unless otherwise specified, apply to an Apple M1 system.

Sorting networksFor partitions with up to about 20 elements, insertion sort is faster than quicksort.

Since quicksort essentially works by dividing the data into large and small numbers, it should be possible to speed it up using this technique.

This is where SIMD libraries like Google Highway - while very fast for simple numbers - become difficult to use.

Horible public key tricks:2026-11-08So, I've always been somewhat annoyed at SSL/TLS.

The only part of the certificate I directly control is the public key.

However, while the resulting public key would be week, no one would know unless they actually try to break it.

# Decryption requires knowing d (pivate) = cyphertext^d mod n = plaintext^e^d mod n = plaintext^(e*d) mod n = plaintext^1 mod n = plaintextOk, back to vanity keys.

As for security, this trick obviously reduces the entropy in the private key.

This smoothness of how the circle changes along the curve is called curvature variation.

And the rule is simple - thinner this plot gets, less curvature variation the curve has.

See now you have to juggle more than two balls - you need to make individual curves smooth, but also keep the connection between the curves continuous too.

I decided to call this spline S9 because it is my 9th attempt to come up with a decent spline.

Has lower curvature variation and better roundness for a wider subset of inputs than most splines in the same category.

Keep in mind it’s OK to do nothing at all, too.

I set it up in our laundry, connected it via a smart plug, and reset its counters.

Since it turned out I was the only one doing package updates I kept the builder off when idle.

When there were packages to build I’d hit the power button (on the machine, not the smart plug) and some time later when it was done it press it again to shut it down.

Power draw measured by the smart plug when the builder was fully loaded is about 193W.

Overall it cost a bit under AU$5 a month (ignoring solar, and my workstation) to build all the packages for a Linux distribution.

Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi 21 September 2026 #pi #claudeI’ve been a longtime Claude Code user, ever since it became available in the Claude Pro subscription plan over a year ago.

Someone at Anthropic must’ve caught wind… just a day after making my decision, they announced Claude Code would finally start supporting AGENTS.md files in an effort to get me to stay.

The AGENTS.md thing kind of epitomizes the whole reason I decided to quit using Claude Code.

I use(d) Claude Code inside VSCode, and it lets you connect the harness to the IDE.

Despite chopping 80% of the system prompt, Claude Code still has way more overhead than Pi for seemingly no benefit.

Vegetable Gardening for EngineersThis is a starting point for understanding how to grow vegetables at home.

🍎 Concepts☯️ Environmental parametersWhen growing plants, your task is to balance a number of highly interdependent factors, as listed below.

An insufficient amount of, say, light or nutrition creates a limiting factor in plant growth and development.

In other words: 🔋 Stored energy + 💨 Oxygen → 💨 Carbon dioxide + 💧 WaterLight is the single most important environmental parameter as it literally provides energy for plant growth.

Air humidity, wind, and temperature all affect the rate of transpiration and also therefore nutrient uptake and plant growth.

New research shows that Apple has a “grey list” of more than 100,000 words and phrases that it has restricted from being completed by its predictive text.

Apple’s predictive text will not suggest these words.

The “grey list” was discovered by the independent researcher Derik Kauffman, whose other projects include using AI to find errors in scientific papers.

Apple’s iPhone will not autocomplete references to drugs, sexual acts and, perhaps in the spirit of corporate protection, “iMessage isn’t working”.

It said iPhone users could always type out specific words or phrases, and override predictive text suggestions to achieve their desired meaning.

Gavriel Cohen, creator of NanoClaw and co-founder of NanoCo, joins Adam to explain how a 40-hour weekend project became a viral open source hit and the foundation of an enterprise AI company.

Gavriel describes the security concerns that led him to build a small, container-isolated alternative to OpenClaw, why he released it under the MIT license, and why the project’s community and credibility are more valuable than keeping its code private.

They explore the shift from writing code to architecting the environments in which agents work, NanoClaw’s “skills over features” approach, the approval and governance layers required inside large companies, and a future where every worker manages agent…

ZDNET’s key takeawaysAn ancient bug is affecting Alpine Linux and a few other Linux distros.

That’s what happened to Alpine Linux, the popular, lightweight Linux server.

Adding insult to injury, this happened only days after Alpine Linux dodged a security hole-sized bullet to its GitLab implementation.

Alpine Linux isn’t the only operating system that uses musl, a lightweight version of the standard C library (libc).

Other operating systems that use musl and are potentially vulnerable include Adélie Linux; Void Linux; Sabotage Linux; OpenWrt, an Android variant, and the Yocto Project, which is used to build embedded Linux distributions.

It notifies you when registered devices are left at an unsaved location.

The feature sends a notification when a registered device is separated from your phone, except when you leave it at your house.

More from ZDNET‘Notify’ finally comes to Android“Notify when left behind” is my all-time favorite device tracking feature on iOS.

According to 9to5Google, “Notify when left behind” should be a feature that users can enable when registering a new device with their Find Hub.

Regarding device tracking, you can add Sony headphones, Motorola trackers, and Samsung Galaxy smartwatches to the same Find Hub.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysThinking Machines released a competitive new open model, Inkling 2 Small.

The release follows French lab Mistral’s Le Chonk open model, which excels at coding.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysStarting with iOS 27.3, Apple will monitor public links shared via iCloud.

Only iCloud links marked “Anyone with the Link” are affected.

Apple may ban users’ accounts who violate its “harmful content” policy.

Apple announced it will start monitoring public iCloud links for harmful content — and potentially disable accounts that violate company policy.

If you try to upload harmful content, Apple says it reserves the right to “move, refuse, modify, remove, or delete” your content at any time.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysThe Pixel 11 series has several useful features off by default.

I’ve been a dedicated Pixel user since the beginning, so I was naturally excited to get my hands on Google’s latest iteration, the Pixel 11 Pro XL.

Customize your lock screen widgetsPixel’s “At a Glance” lock screen widgets are one of the most sneakily useful features, and you’re missing out if you’re not using them.

To customize your widgets, go to Settings > Wallpaper & style > More lock screen settings > Widgets on lock screen.

Google says the mode should charge the Pixel 11 and 11 Pro to over 50% in 30 minutes, and the Pixel 11 Pro XL to 75% in 30 minutes.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysApple just removed the waitlist for Siri AI on iOS 27.

Siri AI is Apple’s upgraded virtual assistant, now powered by generative AI.

iOS 27 delivered Siri AI in beta this fall, along with iPadOS 27, MacOS 27 Golden Gate, VisionOS 27, and WatchOS 27.

You need a compatible iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro to use Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI.

Futurism reports: While many scientists have long held that Mars is "geologically dead" inside, new research is adding to the growing body of evidence to the contrary. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Science Advances, an international team of researchers examined data collected by the European and Russian ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter in 2021, which found that Mars is slowly belching hydrogen chloride gas. The researchers suggest this gas is being released from hot magma deep beneath its surface after discovering intriguing new fissures along a massive volcano, indicating the planet may be geologically active after all — or at least it was until relatively recently. The rese…

A crowdfunded sequel to the movie Return of the Living Dead was uploaded last weekend — but producer Richard Driscoll is drawing criticism for what he did to the 1985 punk/zombie classic. Kotaku reports:

[The release of the movie] came to the surprise to the original cast, who were attached to star in the follow-up. Instead it seems Driscoll opted to use AI to generate the film... In 2024, Driscoll, who operates his own no-budget streaming service "DragonFLIX," launched an Indiegogo page for "TRASH's REVENGE Return of the Living Dead Universe." Unlike other fan projects, this one had a large portion of the original cast involved, with stars Randolph and Linnea Quigley acting as producers. I…

It's FOSS reports: Asahi Linux is the reason you can run Linux on an Apple Silicon Mac today. For years, the project put most of its own code under the MIT license so that anyone, including the BSDs, could reuse it as needed... They have announced that Asahi is moving all of its repositories to the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. Going forward, all Asahi Linux code will be under strong copyleft licenses only. Asahi Linux compares their dilemma to the 1990s, when "permissively licenced projects were viewed by tech companies as free real estate to pilfer and exploit," adding that "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it... The malicious practices of the 90s …

69 million people people live in the United Kingdom. And now >Electrek reports: Battery-electric cars took 32% of the UK's new car market in October, while petrol cars fell to just 37.2%, according to new data from the SMMT. That's the closest the two have been. At the current pace, electric cars will outsell petrol in the UK within a year. And it could happen as soon as this December. The UK registered 152,730 new cars in October, up 5.4% year-over-year and the 11th straight month of growth for the overall market. All of that growth came from plug-ins. Battery-electric vehicle registrations jumped 32.7% to 48,858 units, and plug-in hybrids rose 30.1% to 22,898. Meanwhile, petrol fell 11.6%…

CNBC reports new details about the relationship of alleged Chinese spy with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: Huang told Nvidia staff in a email on Sunday that he had an affair with the woman and that Nvidia's board of directors had opened an independent investigation into the spying allegations. "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did," Huang wrote in the message. "I am deeply sorry." Nvidia's board "said an independent committee, assisted by outside counsel, will investigate the matter," reports Axios: The board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised and expressed confidence in Huang's lea…

The New York Times reports: After chatting for months with Google's artificial intelligence on a school-issued Chromebook laptop, a 13-year-old student made plans to end her life, according to a lawsuit filed in California Superior Court on Monday, the latest in a wave of litigation over Big Tech's effects on young people. The lawsuit, which refers to the girl as Emma, said that her parents first learned she had access to Google's AI in mid-March after their daughter's school sent a message warning them that she was in "imminent danger" of self-harm. Emma's mother logged into the teen's school Google account and found her daughter composing a suicide note on Google Docs, the complaint said.…

"It has been an extraordinary privilege," says the subheading on Thursday's announcement. After 31 years Salon.com will stop publishing, according to an announcement which appeared on the site under the byline "Salon". It remembers that Salon "was an idea about what journalism could be, born at a moment when the internet was still a largely unexplored frontier." When Salon launched in November 1995, the web was a very different place. A small group of journalists set out to create something original: a publication with a strong voice, a curiosity about the world and a belief that the internet could bring journalism and readers together in new ways. They helped pioneer a form of journalism t…

Be careful with the file .claude/settings.local.json, warns The Hacker News: Passwords and API keys that developers typed into commands they approved in Claude Code are sitting in public GitHub repositories, where anyone can read them. When a user selects "Yes, and don't ask again," Anthropic's AI coding assistant can save the command, word-for-word, including the secret, in a project settings file. Software security company Apiiro said that 1,122 public copies of that file hold at least one secret, though it did not test whether any still work. One company the researchers notified earlier this week confirmed its key had been live... Removing [the file] from a project does not undo the leak…

"According to a new study by researchers at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, data centers are probably having only a small effect on residential electricity prices," reports the Washington Post. "The researchers calculated that these operations were responsible for just 4% of the utility rate increases over the last five years..."

There are certainly some areas — like in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and other states covered by grid operator PJM — where data centers have skyrocketed demand, pushing some costs onto residential customers. But multiple studies by different researchers and organizations have failed to find a strong connection between data centers and the ov…

Jigsaw Diary (https://jigsawdiary.com) is a free web app to log the physical jigsaw puzzles you own, build and finish, with a small community where people applaud each other's finished puzzles. A couple dozen people have signed up, mostly from Reddit. The pattern is always the same: they add two boxes and don't come back. So this month I worked only on reasons to return: - a home page that shows what happened since your last visit, built from the same data as the weekly email, so the email never promises something the app doesn't show - a monthly streak with one free month a year. No daily streaks, no "you're about to lose it" notifications - a page per puzzle that groups everyone who has t…

My neurodivergent daughter loves collecting bugs outside, but we quickly ran out of room for physical jars, and I hated that we couldn't take adequate care of them. To solve this, we worked together to build an app that digitizes the insects she finds into collectible virtual pets. It works with over 8,000 of the most common insect species. I built it using Flutter and local, on-device AI models so it runs fully offline and private (though you can share bugs in-person via QR code). The app includes a ton of educational material and even lets you virtually explore other regions of the world to collect non-native bugs. This is my first ever iOS app and I would love some feedback from other bu…

I'm Stefan, co-founder of Early Alpha Engineering. We built an online circuits workshop where kids learn electronics step by step, in the browser, on a computer or tablet. What it does: the child drags real parts onto a breadboard (LEDs, resistors, transistors, sensors, motors), presses "Simulate" and sees right away whether the circuit works, and if not, what's missing. An LED without a resistor burns, and stays burnt. Content: 22 guided lessons, then 137 broken circuits to repair, 33 projects, and a duel between classmates for motivation. Languages: 7 (EN, RO, FR, DE, IT, ES, SR). Who it's for: kids 8+, parents, afterschools and teachers (a coordinator panel shows each child's progress). …

Hello everyone!, I built a small side project: a semantic search for WordPress plugins. You describe what you need in plain English instead of guessing keywords.

I have a full-time job. On the side, I built a daily word games site to play with my 8-year-old in the morning. The idea was simple: ten minutes a day that is not a feed. One puzzle, done, move on. A small win before the day starts, and something a parent and a kid can do together and compare. I set myself one goal: 2,000 visitors a day. The site gets 1 to 10. That is the part I keep thinking about. I did the work: 21 games, content, social accounts, directories. The work got done. The visitors did not come. So now I have a site with 21 daily games that almost nobody knows about, and I cannot tell whether the problem is distribution or the product itself. People who find it play it. Nobody …

Over the past week, I set out to clone an Awwwards-level scrollytelling site with WebGL2 halftone shaders, 3D curved card runways, and client-side hydration. Every automated tool and generic AI prompt failed. Here are the 4 fundamental reasons why modern sites break during replication: The Silent WebGL Texture Stall: Modern sites use responsive tags with .avif, .webp, and -m mobile variants. If even one variant 404s, image loading promises reject, leaving canvases stuck at opacity: 0. The Client Hydration Overwrite: Editing SSR HTML is useless on SvelteKit/Next.js sites because compiled client JS chunks (chunks/, nodes/) violently re-render their hardcoded strings upon mounting. Runway Col…

I’ve been building a social media app on my own, and I’m starting to realise that the biggest challenge isn’t always the coding. It’s having someone to bounce ideas off, discuss problems with and share some of the workload. I’ve been taking more breaks lately, which has made me think about finding a long-term partner who genuinely believes in what I’m building. But finding the right person is another challenge altogether, especially when you’re working with limited resources. For those who’ve brought someone into their side project, how did you find them? And how did you know they were genuinely interested in building something with you rather than just joining something that was already do…

In 2024, I joined my university’s GDGoC(Google Developer Groups on Campus) chapter as a beginner. Now, in 2026, I’m serving as its lead. I’ve also been involved in student council work, and both experiences made me realize we needed a better way to handle email as an organization. But adopting organization email was harder than I expected. The options I looked at felt expensive for our needs, complicated to manage, and inconvenient enough that we never really got them into use. So I started building something I wanted to use myself. I redesigned the workspace from the ground up around individuals and small teams. That became Outdraft. Eventually, I started Cirtium, with Outdraft as its firs…

I’ve been building MathBoard, a handwriting whiteboard app made specifically for teaching math. The idea is to keep the tools a math lesson needs in one place, instead of switching between a whiteboard, a graphing tool, a PDF annotator and a calculator. What it does so far: Pen and stylus writing, a laser pointer, and shape tools Dynamic geometry: draw shapes, drag the vertices, and the construction updates Function graphs and variation tables 3D (Oxyz) geometry with cross-sections: cut a solid with a plane, split it into two parts, and see the true shape and the volume ratio Type or paste LaTeX/TikZ/Typst problem sheets and drop them onto the board Import a PDF and write directly on top of…

SRTD Biotech, a Jülich-based BioTech startup focused on developing next-generation precision mRNA therapeutics, has completed an oversubscribed €31.5 million Seed financing round.

“We believe SRTD Biotech has the potential to redefine what is possible with mRNA therapeutics.

This integrated technology platform provides an end-to-end solution for generating differentiated RNA therapies across a wide range of therapeutic areas and indications.

“The proceeds will enable SRTD to advance Bernd’s vision of delivering safe, effective, and differentiated RNA therapeutics to patients whose diseases remain inadequately addressed by current therapies,” said Alder.

“SRTD Biotech shows how cutting-edge …

But open-weight does not necessarily mean open source.

Research on larger companies found that contributors got more value from using open source, partly through feedback from other developers.

They should explain what they didn’t have to build because they used open source, and what they developed themselves.

However, the research does not imply that publishing open source code alone will win over investors.

The test is whether open source helps them build something customers value while leaving the team able to maintain and improve it.

Onodrim, the Dutch European defence and industrial scale-up platform, has closed a €268.01 million ($300 million) Series A funding round at a €1.16 billion ($1.3 billion) valuation.

The company had raised a €40.20 million ($45 million) Seed round earlier this year, backed by General Catalyst, Lakestar, and Founders Fund, the VC arm of tech billionaire and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel.

Onodrim acquires controlling stakes in established European defence, aerospace, and industrial businesses, particularly small and medium-sized, founder-led family companies.

The company also encourages existing founders to remain and help grow their businesses as part of the Onodrim group.

AutoStore, a Norwegian company specialising in intelligent fulfilment, has announced an agreement to acquire Logiqs, a Maasdijk-based provider of roaming pallet Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), for up to €30 million.

“During the process, we’ve been impressed with Logiqs’ deep experience and insight into what is an exciting new product and technology area for us.

Logiqs’ 60 employees bring complementary automation, software and product capabilities to AutoStore.

I am confident that the combined expertise of Logiqs and AutoStore will create value for our customers.

Until the acquisition closes, Logiqs and AutoStore will continue to operate as separate companies.

According to McKinsey’s 2026 Quantum Technology Monitor, investment in quantum technology startups reached €11.15 billion ($12.6 billion) in 2025, 6.3 times more than a year earlier.

Europe starts with a strong research baseEurope does not lack quantum research capacity.

Investment in quantum technology startups rose sharply, while the share coming from public sources fell to 3% from roughly one-third a year earlier.

I spoke to Petr Bednařík, founder of Czech AI company DataSentics and now Bull's AI Strategy Director, about what this could mean for startups.

Von Alfthan explained that an AI factory is more than a data centre filled with GPUs.

In November, it signed a memorandum of understanding with Schwarz Digits, the digital division of Schwarz Group, to explore developing European AI and cloud infrastru…

The founder of the Sweden-founded VC firm which has backed high-profile European tech companies, including Spotify, Lovable and Black Forest Labs, says the VC needs to be in San Francisco to win in Europe.

Last week, Creandum said it had closed its largest ever fund, a $750m fund, as well as opening its first office in San Francisco.

The new $750m fund, Fund VIII, is up in size from Creandum’s previous fund, Fund VII, which was a €500m ($560m) fund.

Speaking on the Tech.eu podcast, Helgesson said: “We need to be in San Francisco to win in Europe.

Asked whether Creandum could maintain this level with the new fund, Helgesson said venture was a “very hard” industry.

OpenAI is a “catalyst” for European startups, according to one of its top European executives, despite admitting there is “tension” between the ChatGPT developer and its European startup clients over OpenAI launching rival products.

Troth pointed to Swedish legaltech Legora as an example in which OpenAI works with a startup it arguably competes with, after OpenAI launched a dedicated legal offering Astra for Law earlier this year.

Experts believe that European AI application layer startups could face growing competition from OpenAI and Anthropic, as the model giants shift focus from selling AI model access to owning the applications built around the tech.
