arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-13 13:50:42

Critics warn that the United States may soon be taking on more nuclear safety risks after Donald Trump fired one of five members of an independent commission that monitors the country's nuclear reactors. In a statement Monday, Christopher Hanson confirmed that Trump fired him from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Friday. He alleged that the firing was "without cause" and "contrary to existing law and longstanding precedent regarding removal of independent agency appointees." Accord

Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

news.ycombinator.com White Rc Remington A 2026-03-14 00:34:48

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical. Why would a person experience sympathy for objects, when they struggle to understand and verbalise the emotions of ot

Dyson is a brand that commands prestige in the world of home appliances, much like Apple does in consumer electronics. It’s a company that rarely offers significant discounts and keeps its reputation for quality and performance with every model, even those that have been on the market for several years. For those who don’t want to spend $1,000 or more on a brand-new Dyson, opting for a slightly older model can be a smart move especially when that model, like the Dyson V8 Plus, is available at a

Sony unlocks regional restrictions for some PC games in more than 100 countries

It turns out that region-locking your games makes it harder to sell more copies.

Sony hasn't officially announced the removal of these region locks, nor the reason why, but God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Spider-Man 2, and the hit co-op shooter Helldivers 2 can be purchased once again in 177 countries that were previously prohibited,

Temuera Morrison Thinks ‘Star Wars’ Isn’t Done With Boba Fett Yet

Cozy Horror Game Grave Seasons Is Stardew Valley Plagued by a Serial Killer

At Summer Game Fest, I tried a game that was bold enough to ask: Why doesn't Stardew Valley have more murder?

A little bit into the short demo of Grave Seasons, I took to the fields to clean up the run-down farm I'd broken into and decided to adopt, only to find a severed hand.

The 5 Best Griddles and Flat-Top Grills of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Griddle seasoning is, quite simply, protection for your griddle. When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks. (Some think that griddle seasoning is to help food not stick to the metal. It may or may not add some nonstick properties, but the main purpose is to protect the griddle against rust and other wear.)

But not everyone agrees with that framing.
