Is Data Modeling Dead?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-15 03:14:15

Ok, not going to lie, I rarely find anything of value in the dregs of r/dataengineering, mostly I fear, because it’s %90 freshers with little to no experience. These green behind the ear know-it-all engineers who’ve never written a line of Perl, SSH’d into a server, and have no idea what a LAMP stack is. Weak. Sad. We used to program our way to glory, up hill both ways in the snow. All you do is script kiddy some Python code through Cursor. A recent post on Data Modeling, specifically that dat

Biotech Startup Claims It’s Getting Closer to ‘Resurrecting’ the Extinct Dodo

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-15 06:26:17

A version of the dodo bird (Raphus cucullatus) could make a return someday soon. Colossal Biosciences announced this week several milestones in its quest to bring the extinct species back to life. On Wednesday, the Dallas-based company reported that its researchers at the Avian Genetics Group have successfully grown pigeon primordial germ cells (PGCs) in the lab, a scientific first. They also bred gene-edited chickens intended to serve as potential surrogates for the dodo and other ancient bird

AirPods Pro 3 vs AirPods Pro 1: What’s new after two generations?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-15 10:28:20

AirPods Pro 3 are set to launch in just two days, and they’re a rather notable upgrade – even if you’re coming from the previous-generation AirPods Pro 2. But, if you skipped that upgrade – AirPods Pro 3 are a massive leap for a plethora of reasons. Here’s exactly what you gain after 6 years of upgrades. Better noise cancellation This is the easiest thing to point out, especially since Apple themselves highlighted it in the keynote. Compared to the original AirPods Pro, noise cancellation perf

AI models know when they're being tested - and change their behavior, research shows

I'm sick of it. Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews.

The New ‘Good Boy’ Trailer Puts the Dog in Dog Horror

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-15 10:25:26

Good Boy is a horror movie told from a dog’s point of view, and the film’s final trailer makes sure you understand that by emphasizing what looks to be an extremely charismatic canine performance. While it’s a bit of a gimmick, it makes sense: dogs have vastly superior senses of hearing and smell compared to humans. It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine they could detect lurking ghosts if they suddenly moved into a haunted house! World, meet Indy—owned by Good Boy‘s director Ben Leonberg a

4 Things You Should Never Cook in a Nonstick Pan, According to an Expert

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan. Nonstick cookware can tank a recipe when misused, leaving meat and vegetables without a proper sear. Some foods can damage the surface of your nonstick skillet, leading to a shorter lifespan or the release of nonstick materials into your food.

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-10-16 23:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs
