Two-thirds of Americans think AI is advancing too quickly
According to the latest Pew Research poll, 49 percent of Americans report using chatbots at least occasionally, but 63 percent think the tech is advancing too quickly. Overall, use of AI chatbots has increased dramatically since 2024, when only 33 percent reported using them. Specifically, ChatGPT's usage has doubled since 2023, with 44 percent of […]

Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball
Hey HN, I built a website to watch live baseball games in an 8-bit broadcast. It takes live MLB data streams and converts them into near real-time pixel art gamecasts. Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise. Here is today's schedule: Mets @ Reds - 9:40am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824503 Royals @ Nationals - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/822721 Marlins @ Phillies - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv

Launch HN: Adam (YC W25) – Open-Source AI CAD
Hey HN! I'm Zach from Adam ( https://adam.new/ ). We're building AI agents for mechanical CAD software. We’ve built the company on two fundamental beliefs: - AI will be the primary medium for creating mechanical designs just like it is in software today. - The best paradigm for CAD generation is to generate CAD as code (text -> code -> CAD). We’re building CADAM, an open source Text to CAD platform. It's a React app (TanStack Start) with a Supabase backend for auth, database, and file storage. T

Rate Limiting and Circuit Breakers in Distributed AI Systems
Rate Limiting and Circuit Breakers in Distributed AI Systems Distributed AI systems are inherently complex, handling massive volumes of requests, variable latency from model inference, and dependencies on external services like GPU clusters, databases, or third-party APIs. Without proper safeguards, a single misbehaving component or a sudden traffic surge can cascade into system-wide failure. Two fundamental patterns— rate limiting and circuit breakers —provide essential protection. This post explores their roles, implementation strategies, and practical Python examples tailored for AI workloads. Why Distributed AI Systems Need These Patterns Consider a typical AI pipeline: a user sends a prompt, which hits a load balancer, then an API gateway, then an inference service (e.g., a large language model), which may call a vector database or a fine-tuning API. Each component has capacity limits: GPU inference servers can handle limited concurrent requests. External APIs (e.g., OpenAI, HuggingFace) impose rate limits. Database connections are finite. Without rate limiting, a single abusive client can exhaust resources. Without circuit breakers, a failing downstream service can cause cascading timeouts and resource exhaustion across the entire system. Rate Limiting: Controlling Request Flow Rate limiting restricts how many requests a client, user, or service can make in a given time window. It prevents resource starvation and ensures fair access. Common Algorithms Algorithm Pros Cons Token Bucket Smooth burst handling, easy to implement Memory per bucket Leaky Bucket Constant outflow rate, simple Less flexible for bursts Fixed Window Simple, low overhead Boundary spikes (reset issues) Sliding Window Smoother than fixed, accurate Slightly more complex For AI systems, token bucket is often preferred because it allows short bursts (e.g., a user sending a batch of prompts) while maintaining a long-term average. Python Implementation: Token Bucket Rate Limiter import time impor
