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

wired.com Paresh Dave 2025-08-31 17:28:41

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. In each instance, the car was being driven by a human. But it held equipment on

Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-01 01:08:24

tl;dr: it depends. About one year ago, I bought an Intel N100 mini PC (specifically the GMKtec N100 NucBox G3) and compared it to the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB. A year later, and we have a newer $159 16GB version of that mini PC with a slightly-faster Intel N150, and a new 16GB Raspberry Pi 5. I re-ran all my benchmarks, and this time compared like-for-like, installing Linux on the Mini PC. Many people argued comparing the OOTB experience running Windows 11 Pro (which came on the Tiny PC) to Raspber

It's been almost 30 years since Mission: Impossible hit cinemas in 1996 as an adaptation of the 1966 television series of the same name. The Brian De Palma-directed film starring Tom Cruise was a critical success and kickstarted a franchise that remains so successful that MI movies are still being released more than two decades later. When the first movie came out, I was extremely excited to see it and borrowed the VHS tape from a neighbor. Flash-forward to 2000, and I made it my mission to see

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best. After all, everyone wants to think that their favorite of anything is the best — the best album, book, or cup of coffee — but that can’t always be true. And, when you apply the idea of being the best to a category as wide open as Android phones, which can come in different shapes, sizes, and prices, the task becomes even greater.

New Research Debunks Myth That Brain Cells Stop Growing After Childhood

You’ve probably heard the old canard that new brain cells simply stop forming as we become adults. But research out today is the latest to show that this isn’t really true. Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in the hippocampus of adult brains. The findings reveal more about the human brain as we get older, the researchers say, and also hint at potential new ways to treat neurological disorders. “We’ve found
