news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 12:47:26

The cables crept into our lives gradually. First, we had a USB charger in our bedroom to charge my wife’s iPad or my Kindle. Then we added another near our dining table, pulling up a chair to use as a base when charging the kids’ iPad. Add in frequent visits by family and most of our available outlets have a charger coming out of it in one form or another. Aside from the fact that we now had cables all over the house, there was the annoyance of walking around the house to find a charger, only t

Environmentalist Lawsuit Halts Construction of Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-03 05:40:25

Progress on Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” ground to a halt on Thursday, August 7, when a federal judge ordered a two-week ban on construction. The ruling follows a hearing in a lawsuit by environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians. The plaintiffs—Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Everglades, and the Miccosukee—allege that hasty construction of the facility in the Everglades unlawfully moved forward without public input or an environmental impact st

Tesla Reportedly Shuts Down AI Project Weeks After Musk Called It “Spectacular”

Elon Musk has always thrived on bold claims and the contradictions that follow. On July 23, he joined Tesla’s second-quarter earnings call, the standard ritual in which executives talk up their company’s performance and future. Musk was in full visionary mode. That day, he painted a glowing picture of the future of Dojo, Tesla’s ultra-ambitious, custom-built supercomputer designed to train the neural networks for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus.

Fast charging quietly changed my life — and it might change yours too

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority I’m old enough to remember when most smartphones topped out at 5W or even 10W charging speeds. In fact, my first proper Android phone was 2012’s Sony Xperia V, and it offered a mere 5W power level. The world has moved on rapidly, with 45W, 65W, 80W, and even 120W charge speeds now available. But even so, some users still prefer slow charging. However, to be honest, I think most people don’t realize they want fast charging until they’ve actually used it. How f

Is there any more charismatic animal than the much maligned koala? Said to "defy evolution", they sleep 20 hours a day, survive solely on eucalyptus leaves - a food source not only nutritionally poor but indeed toxic - and famously don't recognise that food source detached from a tree. And yet, they have not only survived but thrived for more than 25 million years, outcompeting faster, stronger and smarter animals. How is such a thing possible?

The pill is meant to be taken daily and would be an alternative to the company’s popular anti-obesity drug Zepbound, a once-weekly injectable drug.
