Firefox 32-bit Linux Support to End in 2026

news.ycombinator.com Julien Cristau 2025-11-01 02:07:07

For many years, Mozilla has continued to provide Firefox for 32-bit Linux systems long after most other browsers and operating systems ended support. We made this choice because we care deeply about keeping Firefox available to as many people as possible, helping our users extend the life of their hardware and reduce unnecessary obsolescence. Today, however, 32-bit Linux (on x86) is no longer widely supported by the vast majority of Linux distributions, and maintaining Firefox on this platform

Will Amazon S3 Vectors Kill Vector Databases–Or Save Them?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 17:35:46

Not too long ago, AWS dropped something new: S3 Vectors. It’s their first attempt at a vector storage solution, letting you store and query vector embeddings for semantic search right inside Amazon S3. At a glance, it looks like a lightweight vector database running on top of low-cost object storage—at a price point that is clearly attractive compared to many dedicated vector database solutions. amazon s3 vectors.png Naturally, this sparked a lot of hot takes.

Our data shows San Francisco tech workers are working Saturdays

September 8, 2025 Have you heard of 996? It’s the demanding work schedule that calls for working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week. Apparently, it’s the new thing in the San Francisco tech scene, and it’s all anyone can talk about (search Twitter). So far, this has been a story based on vibes, not data. But I looked at Ramp transaction data and found 996 is real. San Francisco-based employees are increasingly working on Saturdays, and it’s already showing up in spend trends. The chart above

OpenWrt: A Linux OS targeting embedded devices

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 18:13:10

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it;

Clankers Die on Christmas

Signal Secure Backups

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 18:43:39

In the past, if you broke or lost your phone, your Signal message history was gone. This has been a challenge for people whose most important conversations happen on Signal. Think family photos, sweet messages, important documents, or anything else you don’t want to lose forever. This explains why the most common feature request has been backups; a way for people to get Signal messages back even if their phone is lost or damaged.

Tropical Storms Routinely Shredded Baby Pterosaurs, Fossil Evidence Suggests

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-04 18:15:24

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones. That led paleontologists to believe that the animals flourished here—until an autopsy unveiled the broken, storm-tossed wings of two baby pterosaurs, painting a darker picture of how the bones got there. In a Current Biology paper published September 5, paleontologists at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom describe the tragic tale of Lucky and Lucky II, two baby

Mads Mikkelsen Reunites With ‘Hannibal’ Creator Bryan Fuller to Slay Monsters in ‘Dust Bunny’

He plays a hired killer who befriends his young neighbor after she loses her family; she believes a monster did it, but he’s got an equally scary, more real-world idea of the culprit.

Scientists Turned Plastic Trash Into a Material That Eats Carbon

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-04 18:45:58

Experts estimate that the global production and disposal of plastics emits nearly 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. The vast majority of these materials end up in landfills, but what if we could repurpose some of that waste to remove planet-warming emissions from the atmosphere? A team of researchers in Denmark has discovered a way to do just that. In a new study, published September 5 in the journal Science Advances, they transformed decomposed #1 plastic—also known as PET (polyethy

Are You Using the Wrong Cooking Oil? Here's What a Chef Says

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-04 17:38:00

A walk down the cooking oil aisle can feel a bit overwhelming. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. If you use the wrong one, your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key to choosing the correct one is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw. High-heat methods like frying or searing call for neutral oils with a higher smoke point, such as canola, avocado or grap

The leaks just keep coming ahead of Tuesday's "awe-dropping" Apple event, and it looks like the iPhone 17 series will have a significantly bigger battery size. According to leaker @ShrimpApplePro on X, Chinese regulatory listings indicate that all the new phones that Apple is unveiling on Tuesday -- the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max -- will have larger batteries. The exception will be the iPhone 17 Air, which is trading off the ultra-thin form factor for less battery capacity.

All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity

Last year, we reported on the efforts of classic iPod fans to preserve playable copies of the downloadable clickwheel games that Apple sold for a brief period in the late '00s. The community was working to get around Apple's onerous FairPlay DRM by having people who still owned original copies of those (now unavailable) games sync their accounts to a single iTunes installation via a coordinated Virtual Machine.

F1 in Italy: Look what happens when the downforce comes off

Formula 1 held its Italian Grand Prix at Monza this past weekend. It's the third-oldest purpose-built racetrack on the planet, and even includes an old and rather dangerous-looking oval that, while no longer in use, is accessible on foot if you feel like exploring. It's a deceptively simple-looking track where it's all about top speed, and nailing your braking into the four heavy deceleration zones. Downforce is actually an impediment here, and that means the pecking order that we have become fa

Job Mismatch and Early Career Success

How does being over- or underqualified at the beginning of a worker's career affect skill acquisition, retention, and promotion? Despite the importance of mismatch for the labor market, self-selection into jobs has made estimating these effects difficult. We overcome endogeneity concerns in the context of the US Air Force, which allocates new enlistees to over 130 different jobs based, in part, on test scores. Using these test scores, we create simulated job assignments based on factors outside
