Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt.

My thoughts on renting versus buying

news.ycombinator.com Miles Barr 2025-10-01 17:36:14

I’ve read numerous articles about renting versus buying and most dive into financial projections while completely missing the bigger picture. In my view, behavioral and emotional factors have a far larger impact on the financial outcomes of renting versus buying than the math. The math can always be made to “work” if you’re willing to adjust what or where you rent or buy. But the real differences aren’t captured in spreadsheets. They come from how people actually make decisions, and how those d

Visual programming is stuck on the form

Underlying great creations that you love—be it music, art, or technology—its form (what it looks like) is driven by an underpinning internal logic (how it works). I noticed this pattern while watching a talk on cellular automaton and realized it's "form follows function" paraphrased from a slightly different angle. Inventing a form is a hard task, so you must approach it obliquely—by first illuminating the underlying function. This made me realize something crucial about visual programming: it’

Scientists Alarmed to Discover That Earth's Continents Are Drying Out

New research examining over 20 years of data captured by NASA's twin climate satellites, GRACE and GRACE-FO, has revealed an "unprecedented" level of water loss among the planet's continents, creating "mega-drying" regions across the northern hemisphere. One of these mega regions spans Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and vast swaths of Asia. That should clue you in to the staggering scale of this phenomenon, which the scientists are calling terrestrial water storage (TWS) loss. Since 200

The news outlet insisted at the time that Musk wasn’t joking and that he should be taken seriously, given his success with other companies like PayPal. At the time, the Tesla CEO was worth a measly $8.4 billion according to Forbes, a fraction of the $413 billion he currently holds on paper.
