The New ‘Batman’ Run Is 2025’s Best-Selling Comic Yet

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-19 17:00:53

Two weeks after Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez’s Batman began, it’s already hit a massive milestone. According to a press release, the inaugural comic has sold over 500,000 copies, making it the current top-selling comic of 2025. As the Hollywood Reporter notes, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 from Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, and Annalisa Leoni and Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Batman #158—the start of their still-ongoing Hush sequel, which Fraction and Jiménez’s run is set after—take second

NASA Mission to Map Sun’s Protective Bubble Could Help Better Predict Dangerous Space Weather

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-19 21:38:43

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space. Our host star creates a protective bubble called the heliosphere that extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune, shielding the planets from the interstellar medium. Yet though we may owe our existence to this b

Something Weird Is Going on With the Sun, Scientists Find

The Sun — usually so predictable — is exhibiting some surprising behavior and that has scientists very intrigued. Astronomers had predicted that our host star was entering a period of relative quiet back in 2008, but NASA scientists have published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that found that the Sun has instead defied expectations by becoming more active, with increased sunspots and solar flares. "All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activi

I just want an 80×25 console, but that's no longer possible

news.ycombinator.com John Goerzen 2025-09-23 00:26:02

Somehow along the way, a feature that I’ve had across DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, and Linux — and has been present on PCs for more than 40 years — is gone. That feature, of course, is the 80×25 text console. Linux has, for awhile now, rendered its text console using graphic modes. You can read all about it here. This has been necessary because only PCs really had the 80×25 text mode (Raspberry Pis, for instance, never did), and even they don’t have it when booted with UEFI. I’ve lately been annoyed t

The Sun Is Entering a New and Unexpected Active Stage

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-24 13:35:48

When solar activity reached an all-time low in 2008, astronomers reasonably figured the Sun was entering into a period of historically low activity. They were wrong. New research published September 8 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests that 2008 marked the beginning of a steady increase in solar activity. To be clear, this “reversal” extends beyond the well-known 11-year cycles the Sun typically follows. Specifically, the researchers found a slow uptick in many of the Sun’s key “vita

AI Is Bad at Sudoku. It's Even Worse at Showing Its Work

Chatbots are genuinely impressive when you watch them do things they're good at, like writing a basic email or creating weird, futuristic-looking images. But ask generative AI to solve one of those puzzles in the back of a newspaper, and things can quickly go off the rails. That's what researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder found when they challenged large language models to solve sudoku. And not even the standard 9x9 puzzles.

In early July, astronomers first discovered the object, which was only the third interstellar visitor ever detected in the solar system.
