news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-31 01:33:45

Now, a study published on July 2 in Nature has uncovered compelling genomic evidence that points to air pollution—and other environmental exposures—as a potential major factor behind this growing public health concern. The study was jointly led by researchers at the University of California San Diego and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). “We’re seeing this problematic trend that never-smokers are increasingly getting lung cancer, but we haven’

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel The history of the bcachefs filesystem in the kernel has been turbulent, most recently with Linus Torvalds refusing a pull request for the 6.16-rc3 release. Torvalds has now pulled the code in question, but also said: I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window. You made it very clear that I can't even question any bug-fixes and I should just pull anything and everything. Honestly, at that point, I don't really feel comfortable being involved

For years, scientists have suspected that stars can meet their doom by a one-two punch of back-to-back explosions — but they've never seen visual evidence of this happening. That just changed. Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile have taken the first-ever image of a star that died in a stellar "double-detonation," leaving behind a spectacular supernova remnant.

GM’s Cruise Cars Are Back on the Road in Three US States—But Not for Ride-Hailing

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road… well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies. This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland.

Zuckerberg Was Wrong About the Metaverse. Can We Really Trust Him With Superintelligent AI?

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-01 02:16:01

Mark Zuckerberg once sold us the metaverse. Now he wants us to believe he’s going to lead us into the age of superintelligence. Should we fall for it again? Elon Musk once called him “Zuck the Fourteenth,” a jab comparing Meta’s CEO to France’s King Louis XIV—a monarch infamous for his ego, extravagance, and disregard for limits. It’s a fitting label, especially as Zuckerberg floods the headlines, positioning himself as Silicon Valley’s new AI king. But let’s rewind. Just a few years ago, Zuc
