news.ycombinator.com Jessica Mathews 2025-10-30 11:12:14

It was February 2024 when Noland Arbaugh, the first person to get Elon Musk’s experimental brain chip, rolled across the stage in a wheelchair during a Neuralink “all hands” meeting, revealing his identity for the first time. The room, filled with Neuralink employees, erupted in applause as Arbaugh—who dislocated two of his vertebrae in a swimming accident in 2016 and has since lost sensation and movement below his shoulders—smiled ear to ear in his chair, a red Texas A&M hat planted on his hea

The Director of ‘RRR’ Is Pulling a ‘Kill Bill’ With Another Fantasy Epic

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-01 18:00:15

In 2015 and 2017, director S.S. Rajamouli released a two-part fantasy epic for the ages. Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion told the sweeping tale of a lost prince’s rise to power in a cruel and unforgiving kingdom, each of which became one of India’s highest-grossing films of all time. Now, coming off the even greater global popularity of Rajamouli’s Oscar-winning action spectacle RRR, he’s reedited the two films into one, and it’s getting a U.S. theatrical release. To ce

Hollow Knight: Silksong release date prompts another game delay as Baby Steps inches back

Fittingly enough, the team behind Baby Steps is treading cautiously.

AT&T is spending $23 billion on new spectrum, but what will it do with it?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T will pay roughly $23B to acquire 30 MHz of 3.45 GHz (mid-band) and 20 MHz of 600 MHz (low-band) spectrum from EchoStar/Dish, and the companies say they’ll deepen Boost’s wholesale access agreement with AT&T’s network. Details on the enhanced MVNO deal are vague, but it likely means Boost will lean more on AT&T coverage; priority/QoS improvements are possible but unconfirmed.

Bambu Lab's Latest 3D Printer Boasts Its Largest Print Space Yet

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-02 01:29:00

Bambu Lab recently released the large-format H2D 3D printer. While I gave it a positive review, I did have some issues with the size. While the build area is technically a 350x320x325 millimeter space, you have to jump through several hoops to use it. That's because its dual-nozzle setup stops either nozzle from reaching the edges of the plate. Bambu Lab's latest 3D printer, the H2S, addresses this shortfall by replacing the dual extruder with a single extruder that can reach all parts of the b

Encased in titanium, the batteries for these devices contained a radioactive isotope—typically about a tenth of a gram of plutonium-238—and could operate for decades without maintenance.

Subaru Solterra first drive: Big improvements in all the right places for 2026

When Subaru's first electric car launched in late 2021, the Solterra had something of a problem: It wasn't exactly competitive in any of the major factors that EV buyers typically look for. Its 220-mile range and 215-horsepower output were middling at best when compared to vehicles like the Tesla Model Y. Its quirky styling didn't exactly help, either. For 2026, Subaru is giving the Solterra a significant up-do. Don't call it a reboot, as it's still very much the same SUV as before, but with mo
