Infamous ‘Erin Brockovich’ Toxin Polluted Air for Months After LA Fires

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-24 20:00:29

The January wildfires left many scars on the city of Los Angeles, from rubble-reduced homes to torched abandoned vehicles. Though cleanup crews quickly cleared much of the debris, one alarming invisible impact lingered over the city for months, a new study suggests. In late March—more than two months after the flames died out—researchers detected levels of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (a.k.a. chromium-6) 200 times greater than baseline levels for LA air. If this pollutant sounds familiar, y

Implementing Forth in Go and C

I first ran into Forth about 20 years ago when reading a book about designing embedded hardware. The reason I got the book back then was to actually learn more about the HW aspects, so having skimmed the Forth chapter I just registered an "oh, this is neat" mental note and moved on with my life. Over the last two decades I heard about Forth a few more times here and there, such as that time when Factor was talked about for a brief period, maybe 10-12 years ago or so.

The Leverage Paradox in AI

news.ycombinator.com Channing Allen 2025-10-29 22:40:20

In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that automation and other expressions of technological progress would lead to a 15-hour workweek by the early 21st century. In his essay Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren, he wrote: The economic problem may be solved, or be at least within sight of solution, within a hundred years. … Thus for the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem — how to use his freedom from pressing economic car

One of the more salient side effects of the incredible shrinking tech sector is the loss of so many high-paying jobs, many of which young jobseekers were encouraged to apply for by those who implored them to "learn to code." As such, we generally expect inflated salaries when we learn what people who work at Big Tech firms make — between $120,000 and $160,000 for entry-level positions, say, and up to a half a million dollars for middle management.

Sergei is a veteran of the early days of the computing industry as it was developing in the Soviet Union. I had the pleasure of working and learning from him over the past year, and in that time I picked up more important lessons about both life and embedded programming than any amount of school could ever teach. The most striking lesson is the story of how and why, in late summer of 1986, Sergei decided to move his family out of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s, my mentor Sergei was writing soft
