arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-09 22:32:52

Reddit has addressed a problem where the description of subreddits originally written by moderators appeared differently—and, often, inaccurately—on Reddit’s Android app. For weeks, the problem was largely suspected to be caused by Reddit clumsily using generative AI to create new subreddit descriptions. However, Reddit says that the changes were the fault of a bug tied to its AI-powered translation technology. Reports of subreddits suddenly having inaccurate summaries when viewed on Reddit’s A

E-paper display reaches the realm of LCD screens

news.ycombinator.com Matthew S. Smith 2025-10-09 22:57:35

E-paper displays are prized for their readability and low power use, but they’ve long been dismissed as too slow for everyday computing. Modos, a two-person startup with open-hardware roots, thinks it has cracked part of that problem with a development kit capable of driving an e-paper display at refresh rates up to a record 75 hertz.

Decades-Old Waste Barrels Are Creating Toxic Dead Zones off LA’s Coast

Until 1972, the Pacific waters of Southern California served as a dumping ground for hazardous and industrial wastes. More than 50 years later, corroded metal barrels still litter the seafloor off the coast of Los Angeles, and scientists are only beginning to understand the consequences of casually tossing them into the ocean. Images of the barrels first surfaced in 2020, with some of them encircled by mysterious white halos on the seafloor. Experts initially linked the barrels to DDT—a toxic p
