RFK Jr. Claimed CDC Was ‘Killing Children’ According to Former Director

Former CDC Director Susan Monarez testified at a combative Senate hearing in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday about the ways that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dismantling scientific expertise at CDC, confirming the worst fears of every American who still cares about science and public health. Monarez, who was fired by President Donald Trump less than a month after being confirmed, told senators that Kennedy told her in August that he was going to change the childhood vaccine schedule in

Meet Macroscope: an AI tool for understanding your code base, fixing bugs

The founders who previously sold their livestreaming video startup Periscope to Twitter are back with a new startup — and no surprise, it’s an AI-focused company this time around. On Wednesday, former Twitter head of product Kayvon Beykpour announced the launch of Macroscope, an AI system aimed at developers and product leaders that summarizes updates to a codebase and catches bugs, among other things. The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childho

Ask HN: What's a good 3D Printer for sub $1000?

At least a 256x256x256mm print volume. Needs to be enclosed or enclosable. Need to be able to print with more durable, temperature/chemical resistant materials such as PC/Nylon/ABS or infused materials. I do not need to print multi material models. I would prefer something that doesn't phone home and can work offline. Opensource firmware/software and repairability are important. I am ok assembling the machine and learning how to dial it in. I can do CAD work and make models by hand; I was a mac

Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code

Between code reviews, and AI generated rubbish, I've had it. Whether it's people relying on AI to write pull request descriptions (that are crap by the way), or using it to generate tests.. I'm sick of it. Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews. Honestly, the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers. Is this what we've come to? M

Apple Photos app corrupts images

The Apple Photos app sometimes corrupts images when importing from my camera. I just wanted to make a blog post about it in case anyone else runs into the problem. I’ve seen other references to this online, but most of the people gave up trying to fix it, and none of them went as far as I did to debug the issue. I’ll try to describe the problem, and the things I’ve tried to do to fix it. But also note that I’ve (sort of) given up on the Photos app too. Since I can’t trust it to import photos fr

StubHub CEO says recent change to all-in ticket prices will dent revenue

StubHub CEO Eric Baker said Wednesday that recently introduced federal regulations around transparent ticket pricing will cause a "one-time" hit to its financial results. Revenue is expected to dip year over year as consumers digest the new rules, Baker told CNBC, which require online ticket sellers to prominently show the total cost upfront. "We've seen this in states like New York that have done it. You have a drop off and it hits about 10%. ... Then it's just back to normal," Baker said in

Slow social media

Slow social media 16 Sep, 2025 People often assume that I hate social media. And they'd be forgiven for believing that, since I am overtly critical of current social media platforms and the effects they have on individuals and society; and deleted all of my social media accounts back in 2019. However, the underlying concept of social media is something I resonate with: Stay connected with the people you care about. It's just that the current form of social media is bastardised, and not socia

Trump Mobile’s earliest actual phones are neither made in America, nor cheap

TL;DR Trump Mobile is now selling refurbished iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S series devices. The prices of these devices appear to be marked up compared to the market value of refurbished phones. You’re better off buying these devices directly from Apple or renowned sellers like Amazon, even if you want to use Trump Mobile’s service. Trump Mobile’s “Proudly American” T1 Phone is far from being available to American consumers. The carrier, backed by the Trump Organization, has been experimenting

Kuo: Apple to launch touch screen Macs, starting with OLED MacBook Pro

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reported that Apple’s plans for touch screen Macs are advancing in the supply chain. He expects that the OLED MacBook Pro, due to go into production in late 2026, will also feature a touch screen panel. This schedule was first predicted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman two years ago. It is currently unclear whether the OLED MacBook Pro will ship in 2026, or whether it will be an early 2027 release. Apple currently sells the M4 MacBook Pro lineup. Compared to where we
