arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-21 12:44:05

The drives are based on Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform, which "incorporates Seagate’s unique implementation of HAMR to deliver mass-capacity storage at unprecedented areal densities of 3TB per disk and beyond." Seagate's press release is focused mostly on the large drives' suitability for AI-related data storage—"AI" is mentioned in the body text 21 times, and it's not a long release. But obviously, they'll be useful for any kind of storage where you need as many TB as possible to fit into as sma

Underwriting Superintelligence

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-21 16:13:42

Insurance Unlocks Secure AI Progress We’re navigating a tightrope as Superintelligence nears. If the West slows down unilaterally, China could dominate the 21st century. If we accelerate recklessly, accidents will halt progress, as with nuclear power. Insurance, standards, and audits together create skin in the game for quantifying, communicating, and reducing AI risks so we can balance this tightrope. We call this the “Incentive Flywheel.” Benjamin Franklin first discovered the Incentive Fly

Fyre Festival’s Brand Rights Get a Fire Sale on eBay

Seems a little steep, but sure. Fyre Festival, the doomed-from-the-start music festival that never was, is one of the most notorious failures of the internet era. And now it can be yours! Well, it could have been if you got in on the eBay auction that sold off the rights to the Fyre Festival brand in Billy McFarland’s latest bid to pay back the $26 million in restitution that he still owes to the people he defrauded.

Webb spots 'Infinity Galaxy' that sheds light on black hole formation

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-22 03:39:00

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how some supermassive black holes form. Although "Infinity Galaxy" sounds like a place Thanos would hang out, it merely describes its appearance. Two compact, red nuclei, each surrounded by a ring, give the cluster the shape of an infinity symbol. What's inside is more interesting. (After all, this is a

To be a better programmer, write little proofs in your head

This is a brief write-up of a trick I learned that helps me write code faster and more accurately. I say "trick", but it's really something I started to do without noticing as I moved further into my career. When you're working on something difficult, sketch a proof in your head as you go that your code will actually do what you want it to do. A simple idea, but easier said than done: doing this "online" without interrupting your flow takes a lot of practice. But once you get really good at it,
