Trying to find meaning in owning an old Mac

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-19 04:45:57

Trying To Find Meaning In Owning An Old Mac My Dad loves classic cars. He goes to car shows and takes photos of beautiful chunks of metal from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Whenever we see those cars on the road he points them out like he's a spotted a rare bird out on a bush walk. Those are the cars of his youth and for the time, that was the big mainstream technology accessible to people that caused a change in society. Cities were built around cars and so were lifestyles.

Tesla’s Biggest Problem Is Its Own CEO

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-18 23:13:43

Tesla is Elon Musk. Elon Musk is Tesla. Rarely has a company’s identity been so inextricably linked to its CEO, for better and for worse. For years, this fusion was a superpower, giving Tesla an innovative mystique that captivated investors and propped up its valuation. Now, that same connection has become a massive liability. In a brutal reaction to Elon Musk’s latest political bombshell—the launch of his own political party—investors wiped nearly $70 billion off Tesla’s market capitalization

Image by Mars / Kevin Dietsch via Getty / Futurism Developments From the jump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s alliance with Donald Trump has been fraught: the former hates fast food and artificial additives, while the latter is known for his love of burgers and Diet Coke. Nowhere has that tension been more clear than in the newly-minted Health and Human Services secretary's war on synthetic food dyes, which is his first battle in what he's framing as a war to reconstitute the United States' ultraproc

Tulum Energy rediscovered a forgotten hydrogen tech and used it to raise $27M

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-08-19 06:00:00

It was a mistake that was ahead of its time. Between 2002 and 2005, engineers with the Techint Group were trying to dial in a new electric arc furnace for a steelmaker when they noticed something odd. The carbon electrodes, rather than breaking down, were growing larger. The team had inadvertently created what’s known as a pyrolysis reaction, which is basically burning something in the absence of oxygen. In this case, the furnace was splitting methane into pure hydrogen and pure carbon. The te

For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, Wimbledon's Centre Court became the perfect encapsulation of the current tensions between humans and machines. When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. Television replays proved it. But the electronic line-calling system - which means humans have been fully replaced this year following earlier trials - remained silent. Minutes ticked by.

I’ve always found that online calculators tend to have bad UIs, especially on mobile. Most of the calculator websites I’ve come across use outdated and inconvenient ways of inputting data, or they format the results in confusing ways. I’ve noticed that fraction calculators (especially mixed fractions) are terrible to use, even on desktop. I haven’t built one of those yet, but it’s something I’m planning to tackle soon.

GM’s Cruise Cars Are Back on the Road in 3 US States—but Not for Ride-Hailing

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road … well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies. This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland.

Ancient skull may have been half human, half Neanderthal child

Back in 1929, archaeologists unearthed several human skeletons (seven adults and three children) while excavating Skuhl Cave just south of Haifa, Israel. Dating back 140,000 years to the end of the Middle Pleistocene, most were classified as early Homo sapiens. But one skeleton was that of a child, between the age of 3 and 5 years old whose features seemed to show a mix of early human and Neanderthal characteristics.

The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is.

‘Killer Bee’ Swarm Spotted Near Georgia, Raising Alarms

They look just like honeybees, but this hybrid between European and African honeybees is infamous among beekeepers for ganging up and attacking intruders—bee or human—earning them the nickname “killer bee.” Africanized bees arrived on U.S. soil in the 1990s and have since been spotted across parts of the southern U.S. But this latest sighting of so-called kil
