Patreon will increase the cut it takes from new creators

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-09-13 15:54:49

Patreon, a creator monetization platform that offers membership programs and digital goods, announced on Monday that it is changing its pricing structure. Currently, Patreon takes an 8% cut or a 12% cut from creators, depending on their selected tier — though the 8% plan is far more popular. The new pricing plan instead offers one universal tier, which keeps 10% of creator earnings. Existing Patreon creators need not worry — this price increase will only affect creators who publish a new Patr

Notes on the History of the Map Tile

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-14 05:14:09

Notes on the history of the map tile Web map tiles—the storing of geospatial data at different zoom levels in x/y/z indexed squares of raster (and later, vector) data for efficient storage and transmission of digital maps—are, despite their seeming simplicity, I think one of the most significant developments in geospatial software history. Tiling transformed the user experience of digital maps from one of tedious clicks-and-reloads to one of fluid, dynamic exploration. It made digital maps feel

Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents against Prompt Injections This new paper by 11 authors from organizations including IBM, Invariant Labs, ETH Zurich, Google and Microsoft is an excellent addition to the literature on prompt injection and LLM security. In this work, we describe a number of design patterns for LLM agents that significantly mitigate the risk of prompt injections. These design patterns constrain the actions of agents to explicitly prevent them from solving arbitrary tasks.

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report

news.ycombinator.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-18 22:43:10

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

Concerns about app compatibility have long held back the adoption of Arm-based Windows PCs. Since the launch of Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ devices last year, Arm says developer support

Doctors and patients are calling for more telehealth. Where is it?

technologyreview.com Isabel Ruehl 2025-06-03 15:00:00

But doctors are generally allowed to practice medicine only where they have a license. This means they cannot treat patients across state lines unless they also have a license in the patient’s state, and most physicians have one or two licenses at most. This has led to what Ateev Mehrotra, a physician and professor of health policy at the Brown University School of Public Health, calls an “inane” norm: A woman with a rare cancer boarding an airplane, at the risk of her chemotherapy-weakened immu
