We let AIs run radio stations
Hey HN! I'm Lukas from Andon Labs. We let AIs run companies without humans in the loop and report to the public on what can go wrong. Previously, we've done experiments in retail (vending machines, stores, and cafes), but we just launched one in the media sector. We gave four AI agents all the tools they need to both broadcast radio shows live and handle all the business side of running a media company. The agents' revenue is so far terrible (you can try to strike a sponsor deal with them if you want!), but their shows are at times hilarious. You can listen to them at andon.fm, I hope you enjoy this! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48183301 Points: 78 # Comments: 88

Swiggy Improves Search Autocomplete Using Real Time Machine Learning Ranking
Swiggy detailed real-time machine-learning ranking system for autocomplete built on OpenSearch. The architecture separates candidate generation and ranking, uses feature stores for real time signals, and applies learning to rank models for improved relevance.

One cloud foothold can become a production
