Table of Contents Waymo Gets the Green Light to Test in New York City. Everything to Know About the Robotaxi Self-driving cars are slowly becoming less sci-fi and more real-world as companies like Waymo, the autonomous arm of Google's parent Alphabet, expand into more cities. On Friday, the city of New York granted Waymo a permit to test its autonomous vehicles in parts of Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn, with a specialist sitting behind the wheel.

Mathematical secrets of ancient tablet unlocked after nearly a century of study (2017)

news.ycombinator.com Maev Kennedy 2025-11-04 06:31:34

At least 1,000 years before the Greek mathematician Pythagoras looked at a right angled triangle and worked out that the square of the longest side is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, an unknown Babylonian genius took a clay tablet and a reed pen and marked out not just the same theorem, but a series of trigonometry tables which scientists claim are more accurate than any available today. The 3,700-year-old broken clay tablet survives in the collections of Columbia Unive

Beyond the Cloud: Why I’m Now Running Enterprise AI on My Laptop (Without Internet) Klaudi 6 min read · 1 hour ago 1 hour ago -- Listen Share For years, I’ve been skeptical of the AI revolution. Not because I don’t believe in its potential, but because the how always felt broken. The promise of “AI for everyone” came with a hidden cost: my data, my privacy, and my wallet.

Satellites Spotted a Strange Glow in the Ocean, and Scientists Have a Wild Explanation

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-05 11:15:26

Since the early 2000s, scientists have been puzzled by a gleaming turquoise spot in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean showing up in satellite images. The patch is located just south of the great calcite belt, a region that's rich in the mineral form of calcium carbonate, and teeming with coccolithophores, tiny marine organisms that grow reflective calcite shells out of the mineral. The patch itself, however, has been considered far too frigid to support these tiny plankton, causing a longstand

Sci-fi horror movies have always had a niche in Hollywood, delivering scares in futuristic worlds, or in the bellies of larger-than-life spaceships hurtling through space. Event Horizon and Alien are two of the most easily recognizable films, but they aren't the only great sci-fi horror flicks. One of my favorites is Pandorum, with Dead Space vibes. Released in 2009, Pandorum is a claustrophobic trip into space in which a mechanic wakes up on a colony ship to see that things have gone very wron

‘Kirby Air Riders’ on Switch 2 Makes a Better Case for the GameCube Than Nintendo Ever Did

“I have no idea what is happening right now.” I sigh several variations of that phrase in the hour I spend playing through a sliver of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Kirby Air Riders. I’m tired after a full day’s work—somewhere between fried and manic—but the racing game, which director Masahiro Sakurai quipped in his Tuesday Nintendo Direct was “basically Mario Kart,” is akin to being thrown hurtling down the mouth of a kaleidoscope at 200 miles per hour.
