It Looks Like China's Getting Ready to Land Astronauts on the Moon While NASA Flails Helplessly

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-16 16:11:35

Over half a year into Donald Trump's second term, NASA still doesn't have a long-term head. That leadership vacuum comes as the space agency is staring down the barrel of some devastating cuts to its science budget, with the White House betting its future on space exploration alone. The chaos has raised serious questions about NASA's ambitious plans to return astronauts to the surface of the Moon for the first time in over half a century. The dates of its planned Artemis program launches keep

Spotify’s new track mixing tool adds DJ features to your playlists

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-11-16 21:32:00

Spotify is testing a new audio mixing feature that allows you to customize track transitions for your playlists. Now rolling out in beta for “eligible Premium users,” the Mix feature provides an option to automatically blend transitions between tracks, or manually adjust aspects like volume, EQ, and effect curves while looking at waveform and beat data to create unique transitions. This allows users to make songs flow into each other instead of just letting one track abruptly finish and another

Is the Camera Control button one of the biggest iPhone flops? [Poll]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-17 02:17:55

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time. A hardware control was something I’d wished for pri

How to Use Snprintf

news.ycombinator.com Max Bernstein 2025-11-14 00:53:39

The sprintf family of functions ( sprintf , snprintf , vsnprintf , …) have this little-known feature to what size your buffer should be. In cases where you don’t have a fixed upper bound, this is really useful. For example: int size = snprintf ( /*str=*/ NULL , /*size=*/ 0 , "%d: %s" , some_int , some_c_str ); if ( size < 0 ) abort (); int size_with_nul = size + 1 ; char * buf = malloc ( size_with_nul ); if ( buf == NULL ) abort (); int result = snprintf ( /*str=*/ buf , /*size=*/ size_with_nu

The Mysterious Origins of the Most Energetic Neutrino Ever Detected

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-17 12:00:00

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented previously. Labelled KM3-230213A, the particle had a calculated energy of 220 petaelectronvolts (PeV), far greater than the 10 PeV of the previously most energetic neutrino. The finding generated a lot of excitement among physicists, but raised also many questions. Neutrinos are the most abundant par

People Are Trying to ‘Deprogram’ Their MAGA Parents Through Book Clubs

XenoRAT malware campaign hits multiple embassies in South Korea

A state-sponsored espionage campaign is targeting foreign embassies in South Korea to deploy XenoRAT malware from malicious GitHub repositories. According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets. Although infrastructure and techniques match the pllaybook of North Korean actor Kimsuky (APT43), there are signs that better match China-based operatives, the researchers say. Multi

Shamelessness as a strategy I’ve enjoyed playing a game called Avalon recently. I won’t go too far into the rules, but it’s a hidden role game in the vein of Secret Hitler or Werewolf, where one team is “good”, trying to uncover who among them is “evil”, before the evil team wins. One of the characters you can play is Merlin. Merlin knows who the evil players are, but can’t reveal what he knows, because the evil team can kill Merlin and win the game.

While you'll need to be on the $20-a-month GeForce Now Ultimate tier to use RTX 5080 streaming servers, NVIDIA at least isn't raising that tier's price.
