View in browser Issue #353 Sunday, June 29, 2025 Why the $25,000 car is going extinct Can’t find an affordable car anywhere? You’re not the only one. BY MARK DENT In late 2021, Ford released the Maverick, a compact pickup truck. At roughly half the cost and half the weight of the popular F-150, it was meant to be an antidote for excess, and it worked. With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $19,995 for the base level, the Maverick drew rave reviews from critics and a rush of inte

Bought an Ampere Altra System

In the hunt for a development machine, I got to the next phase. I did some shopping, and there it is: my own Ampere Altra-based system. Why? As you may have read in my previous post, I used several AArch64 systems for local development. And the latest one, an Apple MacBook Pro, is nice and fast but has some limits — does not support 64k page size. Which I need for my work.

In Brief With Meta successfully poaching a number of its senior researchers, an OpenAI executive reportedly reassured team members Saturday that company leadership has not “been standing idly by.” “I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something,” Chief Research Officer Mark Chen wrote in a Slack memo obtained by Wired.

Scientists Intrigued to Discover That Human Brains Are Glowing Faintly

Image by Getty / Futurim Developments Scientists have some exciting news: your brain is likely glowing, whether you can see it or not. The news comes from researchers at Algoma University in Ontario, who found evidence that the human brain, of all things, possesses luminescent properties. Essentially, they found that as the brain metabolizes energy, it releases super-faint traces of visible light.
