Robot Dogs and Ropes?

First off, there's this crazy project called CARA – it's a high-precision robot dog, but get this, it moves using ropes! Like, not legs, but ropes. People in the comments were geeking out about the materials, saying stuff like Kevlar and Dyneema ropes are super strong, way stronger than steel for their weight. Sounds like some sci-fi stuff coming to life, eh?

The Funniest App Idea Ever

Then there was this hilarious Show HN post: "Tinder but it's only pictures of my wife and I can only swipe right." Seriously, someone actually made that! One dude in the comments said his wife caught him swiping in bed, got all suspicious, then opened the app and loved it. Hah! It's super wholesome, but some people were joking about how it could totally be abused if it was for general content.

Zed Editor Lets You Ditch the AI

Big news for coders: the Zed editor now lets you disable all AI features. Apparently, people are kinda tired of AI being shoved everywhere, and there's a lot of talk about trusting these AI tools, especially with your code. Some folks in the comments were saying Zed is super fast, but others still prefer PyCharm for certain dev tasks.

Privacy vs. Cops

This one sparked a huge debate: "Cops say criminals use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS – I say that's freedom." The article's basically about how this super private Android OS is popular with criminals, but the author argues it's just about personal freedom and privacy. The comments were all over it, arguing about where the line is between privacy and law enforcement. Pretty heavy stuff.

Google's AI Search is Killing Clicks

And speaking of AI, a new report says Google's AI overviews are causing a massive drop in search clicks – almost half! People are just getting their answers directly from Google's AI summary instead of clicking through to websites. Some comments were pointing out how Google's AI often gives irrelevant results, like US health info when you're looking for NHS stuff. Not good for website owners, man.

Super Fast, Cheap AI Model

On the flip side of AI, Cerebras just launched a new AI model, Qwen3-235B, and it's supposedly the world's fastest, doing 1.5 thousand tokens per second, and it's way cheaper than other big models. Someone in the comments already tried hooking it up to their coding assistant and said it was super fast for code, even if not quite as good as Claude yet. Sounds like AI is just getting faster and cheaper, which is kinda wild.

And Finally, About Your Steak...

Oh, and one last random one: apparently, a "major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong." The whole "rest your meat to keep the juices in" thing? Might be a myth. The article from Serious Eats says it's not really about sealing in juices. Some people in the comments were skeptical, but it's definitely something to think about next time you're grilling!
