William Gibson Reads Neuromancer

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 21:28:01

William Gibson Reads Neuromancer The author Ray Bradbury is one of the early science fiction authors that moved science fiction into a literary form. As a writer Bradbury constructs beautifully written stories and novels. Bradbury's writing is in stark contrast to Bradbury as a speaker. The first time I heard Ray Bradbury speak was at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) yearly conference in Los Angeles in the 1980s. Hearing Bradbury speak is an almost painful experience.

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-30 21:00:55

AI might be coming for our jobs, but capitalist pressures appear to be coming for the people responsible for developing AI. Wired reported over 200 people working on Google’s AI products, including its chatbot Gemini and the AI Overviews it displays in search results, were recently laid off—joining the ranks of unfortunate former employees of xAI and Meta, who have also been victims of “restructuring” as companies that poured billions of dollars into AI development are trying to figure out how t

At WIRED’s AI Power Summit in New York on Monday, leaders from the worlds of tech, politics, and the media came together to discuss how AI is transforming their intertwined worlds.

theverge.com Emma Roth 2025-09-30 18:39:52

President Donald Trump is trying to smooth things over with South Korea after his administration arrested hundreds of workers at a Hyundai plant in Georgia earlier this month. Just hours after reports indicated that South Korea would open a human rights investigation into the detention of Korean employees, Trump said he doesn’t “want to frighten off” foreign investment into the US — something he has made a priority during his second administration.

React is winning by default and slowing innovation

React-by-default has hidden costs. Here's a case for making deliberate choices to select the right framework for the job. React Won by Default – And It’s Killing Frontend Innovation React is no longer winning by technical merit. Today it is winning by default. That default is now slowing innovation across the frontend ecosystem.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Just Can’t Stop Breaking Billboard Records

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-01 01:45:41

The shine hasn’t worn off KPop Demon Hunters or its music quite yet. According to Variety, the film’s soundtrack has hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200, and the Huntr/x song “Golden” has held at #1 in the Hot 100 for the fifth week in a row. As a result, it’s now the longest-running song by an animated band in charting history. That can be owed to a recently released deluxe edition that features the movie’s songs combined with sing-along, instrumental, and a cappella versions of each track. With t
