The New York Times Mini Crossword is a fun and simple younger sibling to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. The Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) usually has only about six across-clues and six down-clues, and you can finish it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But this Wednesday, some Mini Crossword players were met with a paywall.

How to Stop Google from AI-Summarising Your Website

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-21 17:28:35

Google has introduced AI-generated summaries in its search results—known as AI Overviews—which often pull your content into a snippet that may generate traffic away from your site. While it seems like a "feature," these summaries force site owners into a no-win choice between giving up control or visibility—arguably a dark pattern tactic by Google. To make matters worse, while there are regulatory investigations underway in the EU and UK striving to hold Google accountable, there’s still no goo

Our Best Look Yet at a Solar Flare Reveals the Sun’s Wilder Side

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-22 14:55:54

It took astronomers a little over a year to analyze the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare. But they’re finally done, and the results are illuminating—literally and figuratively. Last year, NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured a high-resolution image of a solar flare crossed with dark strands of coronal loops. Further analysis revealed that the solar flare was an X-class flare—the most powerful class—in a decay phase. The coronal loop strands averaged around 30 miles (48 kilometer
