The future of large files in Git is Git

If Git had a nemesis, it’d be large files. Large files bloat Git’s storage, slow down git clone , and wreak havoc on Git forges. In 2015, GitHub released Git LFS—a Git extension that hacked around problems with large files. But Git LFS added new complications and storage costs. Meanwhile, the Git project has been quietly working on large files. And while LFS ain’t dead yet, the latest Git release shows the path towards a future where LFS is, finally, obsolete.

Teenage Engineering Has a New PC Case. As Usual, You Won’t Believe the Price

Teenage Engineering, makers of fine and fun devices like the popular OP-1 field synthesizer and Pocket Operator music mixers, dropped a new PC case yesterday, and it immediately sold out. But unlike gear like the OP-1 field or TP-7 audio recorder that sell for eye-watering prices of $2,000 and $1,500, respectively, the translucent and plastic Computer-2 desktop PC case was given away for free.

Lessons learned from buying an open source repo

Our tiny startup recently acquired the most popular open-source Unity MCP repo on GitHub, and things didn’t quite go as planned. Here are the lessons we learned for anyone considering buying an open source repo. Why we bought the repo First, we like open source and want Unity MCP to stay relevant and open source indefinitely.

Porsche’s best daily driver 911? The 2025 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid review.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-21 11:00:44

Porsche 911 enthusiasts tend to be obsessive about their engines. Some won't touch anything that isn't air-cooled, convinced that everything went wrong when emissions and efficiency finally forced radiators into the car. Others love the "Mezger" engines; designed by engineer Hans Mezger, they trace their roots to the 1998 Le Mans-winning car, and no Porschephile can resist the added shine of a motorsports halo. I'm quite sure none of them will feel the same way about the powertrain in the new 9

MIT Student Drops Out Because She Says AGI Will Kill Everyone Before She Can Graduate

We're all probably feeling a little anxious about AI. It's horrible for the environment, is used as an excuse to fire workers, floods the internet with misinformation and slop, entrenches government surveillance, and appears to be driving people into psychosis.

Google is continually expanding and strengthening the features for NotebookLM, its free AI-powered research assistant.

Great Myths #16: The Conflict Thesis

The “Conflict Thesis” forms a kind of underlying historial metamyth that informs and undergirds a substantial amount of historical assumptions by anti-theist polemicists. This is the assumed and unquestioned idea that Science and Religion have been perpetually at war down the ages. Also known as the Draper-White Thesis or Warfare Model, it is a conception of the history of science that presents religion as the perpetual and consistent enemy of science, technology and progress. It is a pervasive
