40 Years of the Amiga, from Commodore

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-12-08 15:38:22

In July 1985, 40 years ago, the Commodore Amiga was officially introduced to the world. This groundbreaking computer caught a lot of people by surprise and it has an equally amazing development story. As an Atari guy in the 80s, I was somewhat aware of Amiga before 1985 because it would occasionally get mentioned in Atari magazines or by an Atari columnist. I remember seeing a brief note about it in ANALOG Computing and also the Atari column in Creative Computing. Early History As many people

Companies Find Potential Way to Avoid Trump Tariffs and Keep Prices Low

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-09 06:35:50

Donald Trump’s tariff regime has been scoffed at by business leaders and world economists (Larry Summers, for instance, called it both “crazy” and “dumb”), but the White House hasn’t backed down from its highly unconventional program. The tariffs, which are taxing American businesses on their imports, are reportedly generating billions of dollars in revenue for the federal government on a month-to-month basis. Many businesses aren’t happy about it, however, and now several lawsuits are threateni

The ‘Star Wars’ Slur That Has Been Mainstreamed by Anti-AI Discourse

“Clanker.” You’ve probably heard the term online a lot lately, as growing wariness of the acceptance of generative AI has led to an almost science-fictional world of anti-robot sentiment. It’s become an increasingly common derogatory term, growing beyond the constraints of referring to chatbots and image generators to refer to any kind of non-human robotic intelligence. It’s perhaps fitting then, as it penetrates increasingly mainstream social circles, that “Clanker” itself is rooted in science
