People are growing anxious about AI, believing it's going to amplify our worst impulses, take our jobs or even wipe out humanity. But the doomsayers have it wrong, says AI visionary Andrew Ng. He debunks each concern, suggesting we need more AI, not less, if we're to solve the world's most pressing problems.
Farmers stand at the center of the world, says Andrew Youn, cofounder of One Acre Fund, an agricultural organization that's empowering sub-Saharan farm families with the loans, seeds, fertilizer and training needed to increase crop yields and end hunger. Meet Therese Niyonsaba, a Rwandan farmer who shares how the program helped her family prospe...
While living and working as a marine biologist in Maldives, Charles Anderson noticed sudden explosions of dragonflies at certain times of year. He explains how he carefully tracked the path of a plain, little dragonfly called the globe skimmer, only to discover that it had the longest migratory journey of any insect in the world.
Thirty-nine million people in the world are blind, and the majority lost their sight due to curable and preventable diseases. But how do you test and treat people who live in remote areas, where expensive, bulky eye equipment is hard to come by? TED Fellow Andrew Bastawrous demos a smartphone app and cheap hardware that might help.
The fact that no one knows the answer to this question is what makes it exciting. The story of physics has been one of an ever-expanding understanding of the sheer scale of reality, to the point where physicists are now postulating that there may be far more universes than just our own. Chris Anderson explores the thrilling implications of this ...
TED Fellow Andrew Pelling is a biohacker, and nature is his hardware. His favorite materials are the simplest ones (and oftentimes he finds them in the garbage). Building on the cellulose structure that gives an apple its shape, he "grows" lifelike human ears, pioneering a process that might someday be used to repair body parts safely and cheapl...
Economist Andrew McAfee suggests that, yes, probably, droids will take our jobs -- or at least the kinds of jobs we know now. In this far-seeing talk, he thinks through what future jobs might look like, and how to educate coming generations to hold them.
Half of the world's poorest people have something in common: they're small farmers. In this eye-opening talk, social entrepreneur Andrew Youn shows how his group, One Acre Fund, is helping these farmers lift themselves out of poverty by delivering to them life-sustaining farm services that are already in use all over the world. Enter this talk b...
I love this guy! 😂

Apple’s iPhone market share in China reached the highest January level in the past five yearsApple’s flagship iPhone 17 Pro MaxChina’s smartphone sales declined 23% YoY in January 2026, largely due to a high base last year and a shift in Lunar New Year promotions timing. Driven by the continuously strong traction for the iPhone 17 series, Apple stood out as the only major brand to achieve YoY growth. Its market share reached the highest January level in the past five years.Chinese…View On

With all the recent discussion around AI agents, I’ve been exploring a different constraint: fully on device(iPhone). I’m building an OpenClaw style app to run entirely on an iPhone using Apple’s Foundation Models. No data leaving the device and privacy focused. Very early, but designing around local only execution has led to some interesting decisions. I am maxing out at 3 agents running simultaneously in the background so you can still doom scroll. More than that and phone overheats and usabil
I'm a synth developer and musician, I text people MP3s A LOT. I was cleaning up my phone storage recently and realized it stores a new copy of the MP3 every time I send it to someone, so I've got 25 or 50 copies of some of these files sitting around. I built this site to take my folder of samples / demos and serve 'em up sort of like a radio station, making it easy to share, re-share, listen, store one place, etc. Enjoy!
Hi! I vibecoded this with my daughter. It uses the SpeechAnalyzer framework in iOS 26, so all speech-to-text processing happens entirely on-device. One interesting thing we noticed is that real-time transcription is noticeably faster in English than in other languages. My guess is that the English model benefits from more training data compared to Spanish, French, German, etc. It works slightly better with earphones, but it’s surprisingly good even if you just point your phone away from you and
Hey y’all, Kartik, Ishaan, and Christian from Omnara (https://www.omnara.com/) here. We’re building a web and mobile agentic IDE for Claude Code and Codex that lets you run and interact with coding agents from anywhere. Omnara lets you run Claude Code and Codex sessions on your own machine, and exposes those sessions through a web and mobile interface so you can stay involved even when you’re away from your desk. Think of it like Claude Code Desktop or Conductor, except you can co
Hi HN,I’m not using EncroGram because I like clean UI or new apps. I’m using it because I assume that sooner or later, anything I touch might be examined — devices, servers, logs, timelines.Most messaging apps focus on encrypting content. That’s table stakes now. What matters in practice is everything around the content: identifiers, metadata, backups, correlations, and the quiet assumptions built into the system.EncroGram caught my attention because it seems to start from a different premise: r
I wanted to control CLI coding agents from my phone while away from my desk.Built Visor first: a messaging bridge that lets you start agent tasks, get notified via SMS/Telegram when they need input, and respond from your phone.Got it working with multi-provider messaging (Twilio, Telegram, Email, iMessage), multi-session management, and multi-repo support. But the UI felt clunky for quick terminal access.Tried Terminus ($10/mo service). Loved it, but wanted: - Self-hosted over Tailsca
