Internet collapses across Iran, say web monitoring firms

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2026-03-13 18:24:20

Internet connectivity in Iran almost completely disappeared on Wednesday, according to web monitoring firms, as war with Israel enters its sixth day. NetBlocks, a firm that tracks internet access across the world, wrote on X that Iran is “now in the midst of a near-total national internet blackout.” The firm’s assessment was confirmed by other internet-monitoring organizations. Data collected by IODA, which is a system that “monitors the Internet infrastructure connectivity in near-real time,

My feed was recently clogged up with news articles reporting that Sam Altman thinks that AGI is here, or will be here next year, or whatever. I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories. This kind of irresponsible hype-generation drives me nuts (although it also drives up stock prices so I can see why the tech bros are motivated to do it).

Bogong Moths Are First Bugs Known to Use Stars for Long-Distance Travel

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-13 23:05:10

Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, Bogong moths migrate up to 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southeast Australia to spend the summer in cool caves in the Australian Alps. At the beginning of the fall, they fly back to their breeding grounds and die. Each moth undertakes the two-way journey only once in its life—so how does it know where it’s going? A team led by David Dreyer, a visiting research fellow in sensory biology at Lund University, suggests that Bogong moths may use the starry

Framework Laptop 12 review: I’m excited to see what the 2nd generation looks like

"What's this purple laptop? It's cool."

US Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

wired.com Emily Mullin 2026-03-13 23:37:23

The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 6–3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti, the justices found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the case was whether Tennessee’s ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which states that the government cannot discriminate against individuals based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.

If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue. But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hack
