New York State wants more nuclear power in a big way

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-07 21:03:24

New York governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday that her state will host a large new nuclear power plant designed to generate at least 1 gigawatt of electricity. “If you take nuclear off the table, you have to burn more fossil fuels,” Hochul said at a press conference. “That’s not going to work for us here in New York.” The governor is directing the New York Power Authority (NYPA), which owns and operates two dozen power plants — mostly dams and gas turbines — to develop the new facility.

Meta is ruining WhatsApp with ads, but I still can’t leave it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-07 20:00:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority When WhatsApp was acquired by Meta (then Facebook) over a decade ago, people immediately began to fairly speculate that ads would eventually seep into what had, until then, been a refreshingly ad-free messaging experience. And yet, quite surprisingly, WhatsApp managed to stay mostly unspoiled, even though bits of Instagram and Facebook (like Stories and Communities) kept sneaking in. That sunny stretch is starting to fade at last. If you’ve been following th

We’re just a few months away from Apple’s launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. But an analyst with expertise in displays just shared a roadmap for three design changes coming with future iPhones, starting next year. The road to an all-screen iPhone may be longer than expected Apple has a lot of big changes coming to the iPhone in the next few years.

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-08 02:59:45

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows?

Ask HN: How to Get Rid of Gemini?

After the google+ fiasco I thought Google had learned their lesson about ramming new products down people's throats whether they like them or not, but with Gemini it seems like this lesson has been forgotten. I usually am a pretty happy user of Google's products but they have really ruined the experience for me (and on top of that they are charging extra for the privilege of ruining the experience).
