The live interaction with Huk, an AI-driven creature, is tailored to each visitor based on visual cues.

SpaceX's Starship explodes again while still on the ground

news.ycombinator.com Richard Speed 2026-03-12 17:02:32

SpaceX has made excellent progress with its Starship rocket. The stainless steel vehicle can now explode before even leaving the Earth. The latest setback happened just before a planned static fire this morning. The rocket was fueled ahead of a test firing of its Raptor engines, but abruptly exploded. The explosion occurred on a test stand, and it is unclear how much damage the facility sustained. According to SpaceX, "a safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation

Inside the US power struggle over coal

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2026-03-13 01:00:00

But the Trump administration wants to keep coal power alive, and the US Department of Energy recently ordered some plants to stay open past their scheduled closures. Here’s why there’s a power struggle over coal. Coal used to be king in the US, but the country has dramatically reduced its dependence on the fuel over the past two decades. It accounted for about 20% of the electricity generated in 2024, down from roughly half in 2000. While the demise of coal has been great for US emissions, the

TikTok's Not Getting Banned, but These Apps Give It a Run for Its Money

The US ban on TikTok has likely been avoided (again). On Tuesday President Trump signaled his intent to add a 90-day extension to prevent the ban from taking effect on June 19. The extra time is meant to give the Chinese-owned app an opportunity to find a US-approved buyer. TikTok was shut down for less than 24 hours in January, in anticipation of a ban upheld by the Supreme Court. Access to TikTok was restored after the app received an extra 75 days to find a US buyer, and in April the deadlin

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds.
