After a very slow start, Europe’s reusable rocket program shows signs of life

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 13:06:43

No one could accuse the European Space Agency and its various contractors of moving swiftly when it comes to the development of reusable rockets. However, it appears that Europe is finally making some credible progress. This week, the France-based ArianeGroup aerospace company announced that it had completed the integration of the Themis vehicle, a prototype rocket that will test various landing technologies, on a launch pad in Sweden. Low-altitude hop tests, a precursor for developing a rocket

An untidy history of AI across four books

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 05:15:18

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality. More officially, AI research began in the postwar era with the “symbolic” paradigm, which sought to program human faculties such as logic, knowledge, ontology, and semantics within software architecture

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Hands-On: You Can Forget About Gen 1 Now

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-21 09:22:29

Smart glasses with displays in them may be the future, but for now, Meta seems to understand that not everyone is willing to spend $800 on a pair. And for those people, it now has Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), a sequel to its surprisingly popular AI and camera-equipped smart glasses, which are designed in tandem with EssilorLuxottica, the owner of the eyewear brand. I already have a pair of the $379 second-gen glasses, which were announced at Meta Connect this week, and while I haven’t had a chance to

Classic recessive-or-dominant gene dynamics may not be so simple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 11:52:21

In brief A new Stanford study explores how fruit fly populations maintain genetic diversity amid changing environments, which is crucial for survival against future challenges. The research provides direct evidence to support the theory of “dominance reversal” in genetics. Findings indicate that genetic variants can act as dominant or recessive based on environmental conditions – which gives the flies long-term pesticide resistance. Populations live in rapidly changing environments – droughts

Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team in California says it used AI to propose new genetic codes for viruses—and managed to get several of them to replicate and kill bacteria.

Clean hydrogen is facing a big reality check

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-09-24 21:00:00

Here are three things to know about the state of hydrogen in 2025. 1. Expectations for annual clean hydrogen production by 2030 are shrinking, for the first time. While hydrogen has the potential to serve as a clean fuel, today most is made with processes that use fossil fuels. As of 2025, about a million metric tons of low-emissions hydrogen are produced annually. That’s less than 1% of total hydrogen production. In last year’s Global Hydrogen Report, the IEA projected that global production

Evolution has adapted the digits of mammals for an enormous range of uses, from our opposable thumbs to the spindly digits that support bat wings to the robust bones that support the hoofs of horses. But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins.
