We Rarely Lose Technology (2023)

“Στόλος Ρωμαίων πυρπολῶν τὸν τῶν ἐναντίων στόλον,” i.e. “the fleet of the Romans setting ablaze the fleet of the enemies.” i.e. the Byzantines using their Greek Fire weapon. From the Codex Skylitzes Matritensis (12th century) A common trope in the land of fantasy fiction and games is that of lost technology.

Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business

news.ycombinator.com Patrick George 2025-11-09 09:20:06

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now. Some of them have the Model Y beat in certain areas, but for the price, the Tesla is still the total package. Now, imagine how good Teslas could be if Musk apparently wasn’t so bor

At her home in western Germany, a woman told a team of visiting researchers from Meta that she did not allow her sons to interact with strangers on the social media giant’s virtual reality headsets. Then her teenage son interjected, according to two of the researchers: He frequently encountered strangers, and adults had sexually propositioned his little brother, who was younger than 10, numerous times. “I felt this deep sadness watching the mother’s response,” one of the researchers, Jason Satt

Cillian Murphy Is Flattered Everyone Thought He Would Play an Emaciated Zombie in ’28 Years Later’

Office chairs with lumbar support have been around for decades, but it has largely been relegated to high-end seats. That's no longer the case.

The new lens supposedly has a narrower f/2.8 aperture, a downgrade from the OnePlus 13’s f/2.6 aperture. Another possible leak suggests the OnePlus 15 might be cheaper due to cost-cutting measures, including a different display and the end of the Hasselblad partnership.
