Breaking News – July 3, 2025 Today, the House passed the Senate’s version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), marking a significant overhaul to federal tax policy. The signing reflects a major pivot in legislative priorities toward domestic production and pro-business tax policy. The new law restores 100% bonus depreciation, reinstates immediate expensing for U.S.-based R&D, terminates dozens of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) clean energy programs, and permanently extends individual ta

While investigating the performance of the new Python 3.14 tail-calling interpreter, I learned (via this very informative comment from Sam Gross) new (to me) piece of performance trivia: Modern CPUs mostly no longer struggle to predict the bytecode-dispatch indirect jump inside a “conventional” bytecode interpreter loop. In steady-state, assuming the bytecode itself is reasonable stable, modern CPUs achieve very high accuracy predicting the dispatch, even for “vanilla” while / switch -style inte

ADXL345 Die Analysis

The ADXL345 is a MEMS accelerometer made by Analog Devices. It’s a popular device among hobbyists because of its low cost, easy availability and rich feature set. But apparently you should be careful about where you buy them: one of my readers ended up with a bunch of ADXL345s that had significant offsets, measurement axes that didn’t work at all, and an inoperative freefall detection mode. After spending lots of time trying to get them to work, he decided to send them to me instead and hopefull

Chasing Lost Languages

news.ycombinator.com Laura Spinney 2026-02-16 06:03:17

If humans have been talking for 200,000 years—for most of our species’ existence, that is—then an estimated half a million languages might have been spoken in all. To put that number in perspective, around 7,000 languages are spoken today. And because writing was only invented about 5,000 years ago, the vast majority of those half a million languages are lost to us, having been spoken in a preliterate world and died before they could be recorded. That’s half a million distinct systems of knowled

Ready-made stem cell therapies for pets could be coming

Earlier this week, San Diego startup Gallant announced $18 million in funding to bring the first FDA-approved ready-to-use stem cell therapy to veterinary medicine. If it passes regulatory muster, it could create a whole new way to treat our fur babies. It’s still an experimental field, even though people have been researching stem cells for humans for decades. Seven-year-old Gallant’s first target is a painful mouth condition in cats called Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS), which Gallan

Sony’s got an Xperia 1 VII problem so bad, it had to temporarily halt sales
