Trippy Image From Deep Space Shows Earth and Moon From 180 Million Miles Away

The Psyche spacecraft is on a six-year journey to reach a metal-rich asteroid by the same name. Well into its voyage, the probe looked back at its home planet and captured a rare view of Earth, accompanied by its Moon, as a mere speck engulfed by the dark void of space. NASA’s Psyche mission launched on October 13, 2023, and is assigned to explore a distant target in the main asteroid belt that’s believed to be the exposed core of a protoplanet. Before it reaches its destination, the imaging te

Apple Watch’s restored blood oxygen tracking attracts another lawsuit

The Illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity

Introducing the illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity From the BSD Cafe to illumos Cafe The idea for this new project was born from the success of the BSD Cafe, an initiative I introduced to the world in July 2023, which received an incredibly positive response.

The BSD community already had its well-established hubs: in the Fediverse, places like bsd.network, exquisite.social, and others were already thriving, not to mention all the forums, chann

Show HN: I replaced vector databases with Git for AI memory (PoC)

DiffMem: Git-Based Differential Memory for AI Agents DiffMem is a lightweight, git-based memory backend designed for AI agents and conversational systems.

Parallel Reduce and Scan on the GPU

Parallel reduce and scan on the GPU Introduction GPUs are formidable parallel machines, capable of running thousands of threads simultaniously. They are excellent for embarassily parallel algorithms, but are quite different than the ones on the CPU due to the way GPUs work. You can’t just build and run an application. You need to interact with the GPU driver via one of several APIs available (CUDA, OpenCL, Vulkan, DirectX, OpenGL, etc), manage the device memory, organize the transfers between

Moises app can now generate AI bandmates based on a single instrument recording

Masimo sues US Customs over Apple Watch blood oxygen workaround

Last week, when Apple announced the release of a “redesigned Blood Oxygen feature” to the Apple Watch, many figured Masimo (who had been suing Apple over patents related to the feature), would look for a way to fight back. Today, the company did just that and filed a new lawsuit. But this time, it’s against the US Customs and Border Protection. Here’s why. A bit of background When Apple released the Blood Oxygen feature on the Apple Watch, medical device maker Masimo sued over alleged patent i

The Maker of Ozempic Is in Such Deep Trouble That It’s Going on Hiring Lockdown

This is the Ultimate '90s Cyberpunk Movie (No, It's Not 'The Matrix')

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu. After my most

Learning about GPUs through measuring memory bandwidth

Learning About GPUs Through Measuring Memory Bandwidth At Traverse Research, we need to have a deep understanding of GPU performance to develop our benchmark, Evolve. Additionally, we sometimes do projects for very specific hardware where we need to know all the ins and outs of this hardware. One way we do this is by using microbenchmarks to measure specific parts of the GPU to get new insights. In this article, we will share what we learned from measuring the memory bandwidth of various GPUs.

Do Large Language Models Dream of AI Agents?

During sleep, the human brain sorts through different memories, consolidating important ones while discarding those that don’t matter. What if AI could do the same? Bilt, a company that offers local shopping and restaurant deals to renters, recently deployed several million agents with the hopes of doing just that. Bilt uses technology from a startup called Letta that allows agents to learn from previous conversations and share memories with one another. Using a process called “sleeptime compu

Forging connections in space with cellular technology

The Intuitive Machines IM-2 Mission in March marked a milestone moment for cellular technology capable of withstanding the rigors of space travel, a level of connectivity that will be critical in fueling any future space economy.

‘ReAnimator’ Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary With a Re-Release and Glowing Green Merch

Somehow it’s been 40 years since Stuart Gordon‘s H.G. Lovecraft-inspired Re-Animator hit theaters, boasting an instant-classic performance by Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West, Miskatonic University’s most unhinged medical student turned mad scientist.

To mark the monumental anniversary of one of the most beloved cult classics ever, Re-Animator is returning to theate

Astronomers Discover a Previously Hidden Moon Orbiting Uranus

Astronomers spotted a never-before-seen, bite-sized moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the ice giant’s follower count to 29. The moon is so small and faint—well below the detection threshold of NASA’s Voyager 2 probe—that scientists believe Uranus may host many more undiscovered, tiny moons. The moon, provisionally named S/2025 U1, first entered the view of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on February 2, 2025. Further imaging led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) shows that it sits at
