60 years after Gemini, newly processed images reveal incredible details

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-30 23:15:47

Six decades have now passed since some of the most iconic Project Gemini spaceflights. The 60th anniversary of Gemini 4, when Ed White conducted the first US spacewalk, came in June. The next mission, Gemini 5, ended just two weeks ago, in 1965. These missions are now forgotten by most Americans, as most of the people alive during that time are now deceased. However, during these early years of spaceflight, NASA engineers and astronauts cut their teeth on a variety of spaceflight firsts, flying

I Wasn’t Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books—I Do Now

wired.com Steven Levy 2025-10-02 15:00:00

A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be—but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement for authors and publishers whose books were used to train an early version of its large language model, Claude. This came after a judge issued a summary judgement that it had pirated the books it used. The proposed agreement—which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge—would reportedly grant authors a minimum

Any ebook reader will let you cram a Beauty and the Beast-sized library’s worth of books in your pocket, but so will your phone. An ebook reader offers a more book-like reading experience, with fewer distractions and less eye strain, and many include extra features, like adjustable frontlighting. Some really are pocketable. Others are waterproof or offer physical page-turning buttons, while a few even let you take notes. I’ve been using ebook readers for nearly a decade, and I’ve gone hands-on

Beyond package management: How Nix refactored my digital life

(You can find my Nix config over on Github) I'm a disorganised person. My workflow is to bounce around a codebase for days/weeks at a time and when I come up for air I'll usually have left a slew of configs, tools, scripts, repos scattered around my computer like the socks near the bed, or the pile of paperwork on my desk.

When I was in high school, there were some subjects you couldn't have paid me to study for, like math or government. I can't help but think about how different things might have been if I'd had something like NotebookLM available to help me care about and study for those subjects I actively avoided. It probably would have made me a much better student. NotebookLM is a solid AI research assistant, and it really shines as a tool for students. What sets it apart from other AI tools is that it does
