Show HN: Realtime sync engine without any new infra

Tandem is an open-source sync engine and client-side database that plugs into your existing infrastructure. Add the Tandem library to sync data in real time across your clients and server, without deploying any new services.I started work on Tandem 6 years ago as a side project. I was frustrated by the sync engine landscape at the time, thinking I could build a better DX and require less lock-in. Even now, sync engine companies and “full-stack databases” need you to migrate to their database or provision a separate service with auth, networking, etc. This makes them annoying to maintain and also harder to adopt incrementally.Tandem is designed to just be embedded into your existing frontend and backend code. You define a schema, set up a database adapter (any SQL-like database is supported), add the new sync endpoint to your existing API, and then you're good to go.Tandem uses DST (Deterministic Simulation Testing) on every PR and nightly to ensure correctness. Our DST system Gatekeeper lets us model not only storage and network failures, but also race conditions, by gating each call between client/server/other services independently.Tandem currently supports any React-based frontend, any serverful backend (like Cloudflare Durable Objects), and any SQL-like database. New adapters are easy to build, and PRs and issues are appreciated!Open-source and MIT licensed: https://github.com/tanishqkancharla/tandem Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50398763 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Fourier’s Meta Prototype Puts a Spotlight on an 8-Billion-Yuan Robotics Bet

Shanghai’s Fourier Intelligence built a custom humanoid for Meta’s internal research in months. The company already has a rehab business, modest humanoid shipments, and a disclosed pre-money valuation of about 8 billion yuan. A marquee partner tests its engineering—it does not yet prove the equity story.

The AI boom’s missing balance-sheet question: What has actually been verified?

Artificial intelligence infrastructure commitments are growing faster than the evidence connecting contracted capacity to sustained economic value. I spent 13 years on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. One lesson stayed with me long after the trading jackets disappeared: A transaction could be executed, documented and perfectly valid while the assumptions that made […] The post The AI boom’s missing balance-sheet question: What has actually been verified? appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Intuit rewires accounting education as AI pushes new hires toward client work

As AI automates routine finance work, the repetitive tasks that once defined entry-level accounting are disappearing, and advisory services are moving to the center of how firms create value. That shift leaves colleges racing to prepare graduates for a job that looks very different from the one in the textbooks. Closing the gap between classroom […] The post Intuit rewires accounting education as AI pushes new hires toward client work appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
