Scientists Working on "Smart Dust" That Can Spy on a Room While Drifting Throught the Air

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-05 12:00:57

In his 1963 scifi story "The Invincible," the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the microscopic beings were powerless alone, but together they could form cooperative swarms to gather energy, reproduce, and ultimately defend their territory from predators with deadly force. Unlike the story’s human protagonists, the "black cloud" of bots was incapable of reasoning beyond the simple

After all, with the new glass window with a centered Apple logo – it looked like a perfect opportunity for this new feature. Our batteries are also larger than ever. Yet, the Apple Event came and went – and there was no reverse wireless charging. While this is certainly disappointing, there’s a good reason for it not arriving, and I’ll delve into that.

The Witcher Season 4 will hit Netflix in October with its new Geralt

It's been quite the wait, but the fourth season of The Witcher is almost here. In a teaser shared this weekend, Netflix finally revealed the release date: October 30. The video also provided an extended look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia — a casting change that fans naturally have a lot of feelings about after Henry Cavill won their hearts with his take on the character in the first three seasons.

My thoughts on renting versus buying

news.ycombinator.com Miles Barr 2025-10-05 16:36:14

I’ve read numerous articles about renting versus buying and most dive into financial projections while completely missing the bigger picture. In my view, behavioral and emotional factors have a far larger impact on the financial outcomes of renting versus buying than the math. The math can always be made to “work” if you’re willing to adjust what or where you rent or buy. But the real differences aren’t captured in spreadsheets. They come from how people actually make decisions, and how those d
