These Smoked Human Remains May be the Oldest Mummies Known to Science

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-23 23:13:53

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the earliest evidence of artificial mummification known to science, pushing back the timeline for the burial ritual to far before the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hunter-gatherers in Southeast Asia who lived some 20,000 and 4,000 years ago buried their dead in tightly crouched or squatting positions. Not only that, but these communities also practiced a form of mummification that involved drying out the human remains over a fire, as research

With Lumo, Proton thinks it can carve a place at the AI table

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 07:00:00

Proton released Lumo — its privacy-focused chatbot built on open-source models — in mid-July, and, following an update in August that addressed some early issues, I find myself using it more often than ChatGPT or Claude. In a world where internet companies have done so much damage to our society, I'm trying to find more ethical tools. But when the competition offers flashier features in exchange for the low price of user data, does Proton seriously think it can compete? If Eamonn Maguire, Proto

The Tiny Caribbean Island Investors Are Chasing for Their AI Plans

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-18 11:00:54

The beaches of this British overseas territory are usually its biggest draw. Tourists flock here for soft sand, turquoise seas, and the sense of seclusion found on an island with just 16,000 residents. But in the age of artificial intelligence, Anguilla’s most valuable asset may be two letters that make up its internet domain: .ai. Back in the 1980s, when the internet was still taking shape, countries and territories were each assigned their own suffix, such as.us for the United States, .uk fo

Removing Guix from Debian

Removing Guix from Debian [LWN subscriber-only content] As a rule, if a package is shipped with a Debian release, users can count on it being available, and updated, for the entire life of the release. If package foo is included in the stable release—currently Debian 13 ("trixie")—a user can reasonably expect that it will continue to be available with security backports as long as that release is supported, though it may not be included in Debian 14 ("forky").

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

news.ycombinator.com Al Newkirk 2025-10-20 10:52:42

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

More seriously, Artanis is written using GNU Guile, one of the best implementations of Scheme language. One day, the folks at GNU were discussing what language they would write the GNU website in - and many chose Python. But I found that strange, because the official extension language of GNU is GNU Guile. And I wondered aloud - why not start a brand new project to provide a web framework written with GNU Guile?
