Cory Doctorow: "centaurs" and "reverse-centaurs"

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 05:39:19

Science fiction’s superpower isn’t thinking up new technologies – it’s thinking up new social arrangements for technology. What the gadget does is nowhere near as important as who the gadget does it for and who it does it to. Your car can use a cutting-edge computer vision system to alert you when you’re drifting out of your lane – or it can use that same system to narc you out to your insurer so they can raise your premiums by $10 that month to punish you for inattentive driving.

Creating a VGA Signal in Hubris

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-01 16:04:24

A while ago I got a ST Nucleo-H753ZI evaluation board because I wanted to try out Hubris, Oxide's embedded operating system. After getting the basic demo app with the blinking lights running I set it aside for a lack of an idea what to do with it. A few weeks ago I was looking through old Raspberry Pi accessories on the hunt for a project. What stuck out to me wasn't any of the Raspberry Pi stuff, but the old 4 by 3 VGA monitor I had standing around. Could I just wire those pins in the VGA cable

A former Meta product manager has claimed that the social network circumvented Apple’s privacy protections, as well as cheating advertisers, and fired him when he repeatedly raised the issue internally. Meta is said to have found ways to identify Apple users even after they refused consent for app tracking, in order to avoid an estimated $10 billion loss of revenue … App Tracking Transparency hit Meta hard Meta relied heavily on selling personalized advertising, which required it to be able t

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-01 16:00:41

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season was weird as hell. Not just for the wild swings in tone and genre the series went for in its latest round of boldly going, but for a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half. But now that the season is over, and work on the next has already concluded, its producers are beginning to acknowledge that stumble. Speaking to TrekMovie recently after a screening of season 3

The Trump administration is working on a deal with China to determine TikTok's fate, which could be finalized by the end of this week, according to reports citing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. President Trump has plans to meet on Friday with China's President Xi Jinping, and the two are expected to discuss the fate of the Chinese-owned social media platform. That means the deadline of Wednesday, Sept. 17, may pass before there's a definitive resolution on the matter. The key question is whe

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it said at the time it would release the update to the general public this fall. So I looked at past Apple events in September and earlier iOS releases to predict when the company would release iOS 26. And I was right.

When You Read the Fine Print, Humanoid Robots Are Going Absolutely Nowhere

We tend to get fixated on realizing certain contraptions from science fiction, no matter how impractical. Flying cars. Jet packs. And now, humanoid robots. It's only the latter, however, that's anticipated to one day be a multitrillion dollar market, with big firms like Tesla leading the charge. In March, Tesla CEO Elon Musk boasted that his automaker would build 5,000 Optimus robots by the end of this year. Responding to Musk's claim, so did the Shanghai-based startup Agibot.
