technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-03 16:10:00

A baby boy has just won the new record for the “oldest baby.” Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, who arrived on July 26, developed from an embryo that had been in storage for 30 and a half years. Lindsey and her husband, Tim Pierce, who live in London, Ohio, “adopted” the embryo from Linda Archerd, who had it created in 1994. The couple, aged 35 and 34, respectively, had been trying for a baby for seven years. Read more about their remarkable story. —Jessica Hamzelou OpenAI is launching a version of C

Clj-coll: Clojure collections and sequences in Common Lisp

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-03 12:58:49

CLJ-COLL: looks like Clojure, tastes like Common Lisp! This is a Common Lisp implementation of Clojure's APIs for collections, seqs, and lazy-seqs. It provides immutable Cons, Queue, PersistentList, capabilities as well as Vector, Set, and Map analogues built on FSet (but accessed entirely via Clojure APIs). CLJ-COLL is intended to give a "most naturally integrated" experience of Clojure APIs and immutable data structures within a Common Lisp environment, and to make Common Lisp more approacha

Add smart touches your dorm room: Everything you need

If you or a loved one is prepping for college, it's easy to knock out the apparent dorm room essentials: twin XL sheets, a mini fridge, a laptop, and more. What's less likely to be obvious is the tech items you buy that will level up a dorm room from basic to smart. With so many tech products flooding the market, especially ones catered to college students, it can be hard to know which ones are worth it and which ones will sit unused for four years to come.

One of the quirkier cultural gems in Los Angeles is the Museum of Jurassic Technology (MJT), featuring an eclectic collection of exhibits (of varying authenticity) inspired by historical Renaissance "cabinets of curiosities" (wunderkammers). It hasn't been broadly reported, but earlier this month, a fire broke out late at night, gutting the museum's gift shop and inflicting smoke damage on several exhibits, with lost revenues estimated to be around $75,000 until the doors reopen sometime next mo

Razer’s new Pokémon collab is not very effective

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-08-27 00:20:58

Razer’s new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity. The four PC gaming peripherals in this lineup are simply reskinned versions of products that already exist, and which cost $20 to $40 more than their all-black counterparts. You really should be getting more for your money here. For example, the themed BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include at least one highly detailed custom keycap (switching out Alt for pokéball designs doesn’t cut it).

macOS Icon History

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.).

How Do Pimple Patches Work? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

How do pimple patches work? Back in the day, getting a zit meant caking on disguising layers of foundation, concealer, powder …or maybe just a strategically angled hairstyle. But now, the game has changed: Why hide a pimple when you can dress it up? No frantic blending or pore-clogging products are required. Today, we’re embracing a radically different (and refreshingly low-key) approach to clogged pores: slapping a bright yellow star-shaped sticker on it and calling it a day. Welcome to the er

Through a handful of FOIA requests I’d learned that the images had been meticulously digitized and put online for purchase, but that less than 100

In addition to his academic pursuits, Spitzka served as the editor of the 1910 edition of Gray’s Anatomy, one of
