Image by Michael Kovac / Getty Images for Vanity Fair / Futurism Developments Convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes is still in prison — but she's back online, in the weirdest way imaginable. As it stands, the former CEO of the infamous healthtech startup Theranos is currently serving out an 11-year prison sentence at a minimum security prison in Texas. As a quick recap, Holmes claimed that her company had invented a medical testing device, called Edison, that could detect a wide range of illne

‘The Wizard of Oz’ at the Sphere Has a Shocking 2-Second Cameo: David Zaslav

The Sphere’s version of The Wizard of Oz has already drawn controversy over its use of AI. Now we know another unsettling element has been introduced into the Hollywood classic: a likeness of Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and president David Zaslav. No, really: the exec, along with the Sphere’s executive chairman and CEO, James Dolan, will be superimposed on the faces of uncredited background characters in what are apparently blink-and-you’ll-miss-them appearances.

This American nuclear company could help India’s thorium dream

technologyreview.com Alexander C. Kaufman 2025-10-27 23:56:45

“This license marks a turning point, not just for Clean Core but for the US-India civil nuclear partnership,” says Mehul Shah, the company's chief executive and founder. “It places thorium at the center of the global energy transformation.” Thorium has long been seen as a good alternative to uranium because it’s more abundant, produces both smaller amounts of long-lived radioactive waste and fewer byproducts with centuries-long half-lives, and reduces the risk that materials from the fuel cycle

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-27 22:02:12

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, and this represented a change in naming convention after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We were expecting the Snap

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The phone is also tipped to arrive in Purple and Titanium colors, in addition to the previously leaked Black option.

Nullable vs. Nullable in C#

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-24 08:27:31

Nullable vs nullable in C# One of the most unfortunate parts of the nullability narrative in C# is the reuse of the T? syntax to denote two completely separate concepts for value types and reference types. This leads to some odd and confusing behaviour. As you may know, nullable value types is a much older concept than nullable reference types. Nullable value types were introduced in C# 2.0, whereas nullable reference types came in C# 8.0. And they’re not the same. Nullable isn’t nullable. Fo

Probability of typing a wrong Bitcoin address

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 23:28:50

I heard someone say that Bitcoin is dangerous because you could easily make a typo when entering an address, sending money to the wrong person, and have no recourse. There are dangers associated with Bitcoin, such as losing a private key, but address typos are not a major concern. Checksums There are several kinds of Bitcoin addresses. Each is at least 20 bytes (160 bits) long, with at least 4 bytes (32 bits) of checksum. The chances of a typo resulting in a valid checksum are about 1 in 232.

Bella Ramsey Tells ‘The Last of Us’ Haters to Go Play Their Video Games

First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor.
