How to Save a Dog

news.ycombinator.com David W. Brown 2026-02-04 10:02:07

The first time I glimpsed the city of New Orleans, I was a small boy in the wheelhouse of a tugboat. My father pushed barges up and down the Mississippi River, and sometimes he let me tag along. The city seemed so luminous at night—so different from tiny Convent, Louisiana, where I was from—that it felt otherworldly and inaccessible. In 2020, I moved there during a painful divorce. Because of that childhood memory, my relocation felt somehow transgressive. I was going where I did not belong. Sh

FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-08 15:35:03

In 2024, the FTC was set to implement the "click to cancel" rule, which would have placed requirements on companies to be forthright about the terms and conditions and exit options for their subscriptions. Since that time, the agency has become a less independent part of the executive branch and in May, it delayed enforcing some parts of this rule to July 14. Today, the entire plan appears to be dead in the water after judges in the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to vacate the rule.

From Point Clouds to Photorealism: How PRoGS Advances the State of Neural Rendering

What if a real-time automated decision-making process needs a computer vision system to produce photorealistic visuals in a mere fraction of a second? In many cases, this requires too much computational power — if it’s even possible at all. When computer vision uses 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS), it provides a photorealistic image, but the process takes far too long.

OpenAI May Be in Major Trouble Financially

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-08 20:20:01

Since OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT on the world two and a half years ago, the company has operated at a substantial financial loss. Despite raising at least $60.9 billion in private funding since ChatGPT's public launch, OpenAI is leaking billions of dollars every year. In 2024, for example, the tech startup lost some $5 billion, per MSNBC. That doesn't seem to bother OpenAI insiders, though, who hope to be bringing in $125 billion in annual revenue by 2029.

AI Does Something Subtly Bizarre If You Make Typos While Talking to It

New research suggests that medical AI chatbots are woefully unreliable at understanding how people actually communicate their health problems. As detailed in yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study presented last month by MIT researchers, an AI chatbot is more likely to advise a patient not to seek medical care if their messages contained typos. The errors AI is susceptible to can be as seemingly inconsequential as an extra space between words, or if the patient used slang or colorful language. And strik
