Yes I Will Read Ulysses Yes

news.ycombinator.com Eric Bulson 2025-09-09 10:31:25

When Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce hit the shelves in 1959, the sheer size of the book (842 pages, 100 longer than Ulysses ) was as dazzling as the degree of detail. Joyce, who had been dead for 18 years, vividly inhabited its chapters, getting drunk, going blind, spending money, spiting enemies, cogitating, and, of course, creating a series of works that immediately made literary history. Moving briskly across the first half of the 20th century (not just a single day in Dublin), Ellmann spun a

‘Spider-Man ’94’ Comic Will Pick Up Right Where the Animated Series Left Off

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-09 14:35:04

Spider-Man: The Animated Series remains a fan favorite nearly 30 years after its conclusion—and it’s not just that giant cliffhanger ending that makes people wish it would return, though that’s certainly a motivating factor. While the first season of X-Men ’97 did wink at the Spidey ending in its own finale last year, Marvel’s current animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has its own continuity going. However, a new Marvel comic will dive right back into The Animated Series story

The ‘OpenAI Files’ push for oversight in the race to AGI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said humanity is only years away from developing artificial general intelligence that could automate most human labor. If that’s true, then humanity also deserves to understand and have a say in the people and mechanics behind such an incredible and destabilizing force.

Companies That Replaced With Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep
