Electricity Prices are Going Up, and AI Is to Blame

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-14 21:25:59

Your electricity bill has likely gone up over the course of the past year. That’s because you’re effectively paying an AI tax. According to a report from Axios, the cost of electricity is climbing across the country, driven primarily by the increasing energy demands of massive data centers being built to train and run AI models. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed the cost of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity rose from 16.41 cents to 17.47 cents over the course of the past

Elon Musk says he’s bringing back Vine’s archive

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-12-15 11:16:13

Elon Musk says he’s bringing back Vine — sort of. The X owner announced over the weekend that the company discovered the video archive for the popular short-form video app, thought to have been deleted, and is working to restore user access. Vine — something of a precursor to today’s TikTok, but with only 6-second-long looping videos — was acquired by Twitter back in October 2012 for $30 million to expand the social media platform’s video ambitions.

The Toyota Corolla of programming

In 1995, an otherwise unknown software developer released the first version of a new scripting language whose explicit aim was to make applications for this new platform called “The World Wide Web”. After starting as a small project, and thanks to the crazy dot-com years, it grew dramatically to become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. After some stumbling first steps, it eventually got some sort of standardization in 1997, even reluctantly including some OOP feature

Ioan Gruffudd’s Still Fond of His ‘Fantastic Four’ Tenure

Even before Marvel Studios retook ownership of the Fantastic Four and got a new movie into production, there was always a bit of fondness for the old Fox movies. Not so much the 2015 one, but the mid-2000s pair directed by Tim Story and starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis still have their fans. Those films were general audiences’ first introduction to the characters, and there remains a bit of attachment to those versions, particularly after Evans came back for
