theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-12 00:00:00

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Frankenstein is one of those stories that’s been retold countless times. And yet, Guillermo del Toro has managed to make a version that not only feels true to Mary Shelley’s original, but is also imbued with the trademarks the director is known for. Maybe that shouldn’t be too surprising — when presenting the film at its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, del Toro explained that

Three big things we still don’t know about AI’s energy burden

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2025-10-12 07:00:00

The problem with finding that number, as we explain in our piece published in May, was that AI companies are the only ones who have it. We pestered Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft, but each company refused to provide its figure. Researchers we spoke to who study AI’s impact on energy grids compared it to trying to measure the fuel efficiency of a car without ever being able to drive it, making guesses based on rumors of its engine size and what it sounds like going down the highway.

How can England possibly be running out of water?

news.ycombinator.com Helena Horton 2025-10-09 16:22:35

During the drought of 2022, London came perilously close to running out of water. Water companies and the government prayed desperately for rain as reservoirs ran low and the groundwater was slowly drained off. Contingency plans were drafted to ban businesses from using water; hotel swimming pools would have been drained, ponds allowed to dry up, offices to go uncleaned. If the lack of rainfall had continued for another year, it was possible that taps could have run dry. That, however, was jus
