Welcome to another episode of Americans being badly behaved in Australia (anyone remember the wombat grabber?). In this edition, Australian officials, wildlife experts, and others are criticizing U.S.-based influencer Mike Holston, aka “therealtarzann” on social media, after he posted two videos of himself down under and tackling crocodiles, shirtless. Queensland officials have confirmed that they are “actively investigating two videos circulating on social media,” The Guardian reporteed. Meanw

Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-06 15:40:17

It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction about black hole mergers. Now, another team believes they’ve found a way to observe primordial black holes—cosmic behemoths that emerged not from the ashes of dying stars but from the chaos of the early universe. In a paper published September 9 in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists make the bold prediction that, within the next decade, we will be able to w

CRISPR Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes

news.ycombinator.com Javier Carbajal 2025-10-06 18:45:28

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction.

Streaming Can’t Replace Your PC, but Nvidia’s Updated GeForce Now Comes Close

No, you shouldn't use it for multiplayer, but I still find myself gravitating to GeForce Now more than ever. The best compliment I could ever lay at the feet of any game streaming service is that I can forget I was even using it. Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, which lets players run their own game library through the cloud, is better than ever with its most recent update. As a bonus, Nvidia’s $20-per-month “Ultimate” subscription doesn’t cost any more than it did previously, unlike TV streaming’

AI's $344B 'Language Model' Bet Looks Fragile

news.ycombinator.com Parmy Olson 2025-10-07 02:49:24

Every investor knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. So why is Silicon Valley betting on just one way to build artificial intelligence? This year the world’s four largest tech firms will spend $344 billion on AI, mostly on data centers used to train and run so-called large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT that can process text, audio and visual content. The technology is largely underpinned by the same technique of predicting tokens that appear next in a sequence.

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables Problem statement: count the unique values in a large array of mostly-unique uint64s. Two standard approaches are: Insert into a hash table and return the number of entries. Sort the array, then count positions that differ from their predecessor. Hash tables win the interview ( O ( n ) O(n) O(n) vs O ( n log ⁡ n ) O(n \log n) O(nlogn)), but sorting is typically faster in a well-tuned implementation. This problem and its variants are the inn

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care.

With so many wild predictions flying around about the future AI, it’s important to occasionally take a step back and check in on what came true — and what hasn’t come to pass. Exactly six months ago, Dario Amodei, the CEO of massive AI company Anthropic, claimed that in half a year, AI would be "writing 90 percent of code."

But new research suggests that one particular microbe, an algal species found in Arctic ice, isn’t as immobile as it was previously believed. They’re surprisingly active, gliding across—and even within—their frigid stomping grounds.
