Why are there no good dinosaur films?

news.ycombinator.com Brianna Zigler 2025-08-25 11:55:27

“Because the movie delivers on the bottom line, I’m giving it three stars. You want great dinosaurs, you got great dinosaurs.” -Roger Ebert In Steve Brusatte’s non-fiction book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, the self-described Jurassic Park fanatic discusses the ways that Spielberg and co. failed the reality of the T. rex. Brusatte writes that while a Tyrannasaur could indeed run quite fast, adults couldn’t move as quickly as their young. Therefore, an adult wouldn’t be able to speed up en

The 8 Best Travel Pillows (2025), Tested on Planes

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-08-28 15:32:41

I’m sorry, but I find this travel pillow hideous. It’s just so big and dorky. But damn if it isn’t effective. It’s actually really comfortable. It’s sort of like a scarf that you wrap around your neck, with a built-in frame that cradles your head securely and comfortably. The scarf part is nice and made of soft fleece, similar to other travel scarves or blankets. The hook-and-loop attachment point isn’t too loud when you adjust it, so you won’t disturb your neighbors.

The compiler keeps track of many aspects of your hardware design, and displays them in the editor. Core Philosophy The SUS HDL is meant to be a direct competitor to Synthesizeable Verilog and VHDL. Its main goal is to be an intuitive and thin syntax for building netlists, such that traditional synthesis tools can still be used to analyze the resulting hardware. SUS shall impose no paradigm on the hardware designer, such as requiring specific communication protocols or iteration constructs. In

Launch HN: Morph (YC S23) – Apply AI code edits at 4,500 tokens/sec

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 02:40:45

Hey HN, I’m Tejas at Morph. We’ve built a blazing-fast model for applying AI-generated code edits directly into your files at 4,500+ tokens/sec. No more slow full-file rewrites or brittle search-and-replace hacks. Why? AI spits out code that can’t reliably be inserted into existing code. Full file rewrites, brittle search-and-replace hacks are too slow, expensive, or error-prone. Morph's approach: - Your agent outputs edits “lazily”, referencing unmodified lines in the existing file (ex: // .

F1 in Britain: Terrible English summer weather equals entertaining race

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-29 03:04:56

The heat dome that has been oppressing much of Europe seems to have largely ignored the British Isles. Not a drop of rain marred the 24 hour races at Le Mans, the Nürburgring, or Spa-Francorchamps, held unusually over consecutive weekends this June. Similarly, last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix took place under scorching skies that were baking the Tyrolean mountains. No such luck for the vast crowds at Silverstone attending the British Grand Prix this past weekend, who definitely needed their wa

Apple steps in to save decade-long Cupertino transit project

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-29 15:02:43

Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard. A long-planned overhaul of the Interstate 280 and Wolfe Road interchange, the junction between Apple Park and a massive upcoming housing development called The Rise, was on the brink of being canceled due to a funding shortfall. But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution

Apple appeals the EU's anti-steering fine

Apple doesn’t want to fork over half a billion euros to the EU. The tech giant is officially appealing a €500 million ($587 million) fine brought by the European Commission in April, 9To5Mac reports. The Commission fined both Apple and Meta earlier this year for violating the Digital Markets Act through anti-competitive activities. In Apple's case, the Commission found that the company stopped developers from providing customers with information about sales and offers outside of the App Store.

Thanks to Zillow, Your Friends Know How Much Your House Costs—or if You’re Secretly Rich

wired.com Elana Klein 2025-08-29 23:00:00

When Rebecca Kornman was a student at Kenyon College, she and some of her friends picked up a voyeuristic hobby. Using the Ohio liberal arts school’s student directory, they found students’ home addresses and looked them up on Zillow to see how much their families’ homes cost. “It became a kind of controversial thing that people were talking about,” says Kornman, 25. While some found it endlessly entertaining to dive into the finances of a student body where almost one in five students come fro

Portability of Tar Features

Please note that this article is focused merely on read-wise format compatibility. In other words, it establishes how tar files should be written in order to achieve best probability that it will be read correctly afterwards. It does not investigate what formats the listed tools can write and whether they can correctly create archives using specific features. This naturally raised more questions on how portable various tar formats actually are. To verify that, I have decided to analyze the stan

Lessons from creating my first text adventure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-27 12:48:19

It’s very easy to accidentally try to create too large a text adventure. My first attempt was way too ambitious, and would have taken months to finish. I still love the idea for that, but it had to go. I picked another idea that was much smaller in scope, but it, too, grew too ambitious. I restarted one more time, from an idea that was even more pared down, and I was actually able to finish that game. With the minimalistic scope it took maybe fifteen hours of active work to create most of the ga
