On Harm Reduction Photograph: The Bunk Police Regardless of your personal habits, drug use can be prevalent at festivals. It's important to know the location of medical tents, to pay attention to your surroundings, and to look out for your fellow festival attendees the way you'd want them to look out for you.

It’s a figure so large it almost loses meaning: $500 billion. That is the staggering valuation OpenAI, the company behind the revolutionary ChatGPT, could soon command. The company is in discussions with investors for a deal that would allow its current and former employees to sell their privately held shares, a source familiar with the matter told Gizmodo. This type of deal, known in financial jargon as a secondary sale or a tender offer, would more than double OpenAI’s recent $260 billion val

Baltimore Assessments Accidentally Subsidize Blight–and How We Can Fix It

news.ycombinator.com Greg Miller 2025-08-14 04:35:34

One of the biggest challenges facing Baltimore is blight. For decades, the city has grappled with population loss, leaving behind thousands of vacant homes and empty lots that scar neighborhoods. These empty spaces not only serve as a constant reminder of visible decline, but also drain city coffers and undermine community safety. Both the city and the state have launched ambitious initiatives to tackle this very problem. But what if the government’s own policies were quietly making the problem

The Militarization of Silicon Valley

But some tech executives and engineers are wrestling with the potential harms of the shift. Once they build autonomous drones and A.I. weapons for the military, they will have little control over how the technology is deployed. That has led to debates over whether more people will be killed by these advanced weapons than traditional ones, three engineers at Google and Meta said. “These Silicon Valley companies are hyper competitive, and in their drive to get into these defense sectors, there is

Compressing Icelandic name declension patterns into a 3.27 kB trie August 2, 2025 Displaying personal names in Icelandic user interfaces is surprisingly hard. This is because of declension — a language feature where the forms of nouns change to communicate a syntactic function. In Icelandic, personal names have four forms, one for each of the grammatical cases of Icelandic nouns. Take the name “Guðmundur”: Grammatical case Form Nominative Guðmundur Accusative Guðmund Dative Guðmundi Genitive

The Arctic Got So Warm in February, Svalbard’s Ground Was ‘Like Soft Ice Cream’

The Arctic island of Svalbard is so reliably frigid that humanity bet its future on the place. Since 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—set deep in frozen soil known as permafrost—has accepted nearly 1.4 million samples of more than 6,000 species of critical crops. But the island is warming six to seven times faster than the rest of the planet, making even winters freakishly hot, at least by Arctic standards.
