Show HN: Turbine – 16-bit CPU Architecture and Emulator built in C

Project Link: github.com/errorcodezero/turbine Please star my project. I’m trying to qualify for shipwrecked and I need a certain amount of github stars to qualify To start this off, I want to say that it’s been a while since I’ve created a new post. I quite frankly had been quite occupied with other activities and didn’t give writing anything the time it needed. However, in those months of absence, I went down all sorts of paths in my programming journey that I never would have believed that

This archaeologist built a replica boat to sail like the Vikings

Experimental archaeologist Greer Jarrett of Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for the last three years. If you want to learn more about how and where the Vikings sailed, making the journey through the fjords yourself in replica boats is a practical, hands-on approach to achieving that end. Greer Jarrett, an archaeologist at Lund University in Sweden, has spent the last three years doing just that, sailing more than 5,000 kilometers along known Viking trade r

Tesla robotaxis launch in Austin with $4.20 invite-only service and human "safety monitors"

What just happened? Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service finally launched yesterday (June 23) in Austin, Texas. So far, it has been limited to invited participants and not the general public, and passengers aren't alone in the vehicles; Tesla's "safety monitors" sit in the front passenger seat ready to take over if something goes wrong – despite Elon Musk promising the service would launch unsupervised. Musk's "tentatively, June 22" response early this month to an X user's question about when

Grow a Garden: The surprise Roblox gaming hit 3 days ago Share Save Graham Fraser Technology Reporter Share Save Roblox Shooting, chasing, exploring - hit video games tend to have themes that set the pulse racing.

OnePlus 13 vs Pixel vs Galaxy: The camera shootout you need to see

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve used some brilliant camera phones this year, and now it’s the OnePlus 13’s turn to come across my desk. I’ll let you in on a secret; I’ve been using the OPPO Find X8 Pro as my daily driver for some time now — largely because of its brilliant quad-camera array. But what excites me about the OnePlus 13 is that it shares virtually the same setup, minus the 6x optical zoom camera. It still retains the 3x lens for longer range shots and the camera software tool

Watch this person play The Witcher 3 on their Galaxy Watch Ultra

TL;DR A Redditor has shown off GeForce Now running on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The user’s uploaded video shows them playing The Witcher 3 on the smartwatch. The smartwatch isn’t actually doing any of the heavy lifting, but it’s still a cool showcase. We’ve already seen people running retro games on their smartwatches thanks to emulators, but it turns out that you can also play full-fledged PC games on your Wear OS watch. Then again, I’m not sure why you’d want to do so in the first place. Red

China's Electric Vehicle Factories Have Become Tourist Hotspots

Tours of electric vehicle factories have quickly become the hottest ticket in Beijing, with tens of thousands of people signing up each month for the chance to win a free visit.

Recycled Polyester Saved This American Factory. Environmentalists Hate It

In the bottle processing plant in Reidsville, North Carolina, drifts of plastic particles, like snow banks, are piled in every nook of the machinery that chops the bottles into flake. When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't. "We do a good job of cleaning it up," he says, adding that the bags of dust that are vacuumed up are sold off, and the wastewater is filtered. But I’m concerned. A 2023 study of a UK plastics recycling plant found

See the stunning first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Today, that promise has become a staggeringly beautiful reality. Rubin’s view of the universe is unlike any that preceded it—an expansive vision of the night sky replete with detail, including hazy envelopes of matter coursing around galaxies and star-paved bridges arching between them. “These images are truly stunning,” says Pedro Bernardinelli, an astronomer at the University of Washington. During its brief perusal of the night sky, Rubin even managed to spy more than 2,000 never-before-seen

Don't plug these 7 appliances (including AC units) into extension cords - according to professionals

Encounters with Reality on Christine Rosen's the Extinction of Experience

When I was fourteen, my family went on a Caribbean cruise. I have always been allergic to the idea of going somewhere for the explicit purpose of “having a good time.” But that’s exactly what a cruise—at least this particular kind of cruise—is: a never-ending parade of convenient entertainment and diversion. Gorge yourself at breakfast; use the coupon in your welcome bag for a mid-morning massage; have lunch brought to your table at the pool; shop luxury brands on the promenade in the afternoon;

New Linux udisks flaw lets attackers get root on major Linux distros

Attackers can exploit two newly discovered local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerabilities to gain root privileges on systems running major Linux distributions. The first flaw (tracked as CVE-2025-6018) was found in the configuration of the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) framework on openSUSE Leap 15 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, allowing local attackers to gain the privileges of the "allow_active" user.

Oxford City Council suffers breach exposing two decades of data

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst I recently submitted my PhD thesis, and while waiting for the physical copies to get printed I thought I'd write about something you (hopefully) wouldn't notice when reading it. I wrote it in Typst, not LaTeX. In this post I will talk a bit about what went well and what didn't. Typst (https://typst.app/) is a modern take on a typesetting language that I think has a real shot at dethroning LaTeX. I would describe the language as a mix of markdown and dynamically t

Elon Musk’s Trillion-Dollar Robotaxi Gamble Is Here

The wait is finally over. After years of promises from its eccentric CEO, Tesla debuted its highly anticipated robotaxi service on June 22 in Austin, Texas, a launch that is central to the company’s entire future. This isn’t just about a new feature; it’s the cornerstone of Elon Musk’s narrative that Tesla is not merely a car company but a world-changing AI and robotics powerhouse. As the automaker faces fierce competition from Chinese rivals like BYD, the success or failure of its autonomous v

Tesla launches robotaxi rides in Austin with big promises and unanswered questions

Tesla has started giving rides in driverless Model Y SUVs in Austin, a decade after CEO Elon Musk began making — and breaking — myriad promises about his company’s ability to launch such a service. The rollout will become the first big test of Musk’s belief that it’s possible to safely deploy fully autonomous vehicles using just cameras and end-to-end AI – an approach that differs from other players in the space like Waymo. On Sunday, numerous videos shared on social media as well as sources i

Valued at a staggering $14 billion following a May funding round, the startup is being hailed as a revolutionary threat to Google Search’s search dominance. But here’s the thing: it mostly just summarizes web results and sends you links. So why the frenzy? Perplexity billed itself an “answer engine.” You ask a question, and it uses large
