The Moving Assembly Line Turns 100 (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Austin Weber 2025-08-07 21:23:34

This month marks the official celebration of the world’s first moving assembly line. On Oct. 7, 1913, 140 assemblers stationed along a 150-foot chassis line at a Ford Motor Co. plant just north of Detroit stood in place as the work came to them. With the aid of three-wheeled dollies, chassis were pushed by hand along parallel rails embedded in the floor of the Highland Park plant. Six months earlier, Ford engineers had experimented with a movable line for assembling flywheel magnetos, a key com

Now, the company is further expanding that pledge with a $500 million plan to “launch an all-new recycling facility for processing recycled rare earth elements.” With this investment, Apple will work with MP Materials and commit to buying American-made rare earth magnets developed in Fort Worth, Texas.

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-08-08 09:00:16

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t. The unwanted information may still be hiding somewhere inside the model so that it can be accessed

Samsung is thinking about Galaxy phones with built-in magnets, no wired charging

Eric Zeman / Android Authority TL;DR An official Samsung survey suggests that the company is thinking about Galaxy phones with built-in Qi 2 magnets. The survey also hints that these future phones could lack wired charging capabilities. This news comes as recent Samsung phones require a separate case for MagSafe and general magnetic accessories. Recent Samsung phones like the Galaxy S25 series support the Qi 2 wireless charging standard but don’t have built-in magnets. Instead, these phones

Modern Linux distributions are user-friendly, rock-solid, and free. If you have zero experience with Linux, you might think it's above your skills, so you have yet to find the courage to use it.

How I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album When I was young and had too much free time, I used to write and record music. I wasn’t very successful—mostly because I couldn’t sing or play any instruments. The songs always ended up sounding much worse than they did in my head. But now, it turns out I can just feed my old demo songs to AI and ask it to do a better job. So that’s what I did—and the result exceeded all my expectations.

VHS, VCDs, and Laserdiscs in Southeast Asia

One of those factoids you often hear about Southeast Asia is that VCDs and Laserdiscs were more popular than VHS tapes. The cited reason is usually mould, on account of their tropical climates. But there was more to it. For starters, what are VCDs and Laserdiscs? One of them is an initialism, and the other one is a word that sometimes employs camelCase. Initialisms are distinct from acronyms, in that you don’t pronounce them as a word. Laser is an acronym, and ATM is an initialism. camelCased w

Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design.
