engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-10 20:01:09

NASA is set to lose at least 2,145 senior staff members as part of the Trump administration's push for budget cuts, Politico reports. The brain drain could severely impact future research and missions, and is happening not long before the organization plans to send a new crew of astronauts to the Moon in 2026. Of the over 2,000 departing staff members, nearly all of them are in senior positions, requiring specialized skills or management experience. "Those leaving include 1,818 staff serving in

HyAB k-means for color quantization

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-10 20:34:30

HyAB k-means for color quantization Color quantization in CIELAB space, visualized. The input is converted to CIELAB space and a special “HyAB” distance formula is used when clustering. This in theory should result in better image quality. I’ve been obsessing over color quantization algorithms lately, and when I learned that an image conversion app called Composite did its so-called pixel mapping step in CIELAB space, I instantly thought of the “HyAB” color distance formula I’d seen in the FLI

California lawmaker behind SB 1047 reignites push for mandated AI safety reports

California State Senator Scott Wiener on Wednesday introduced new amendments to his latest bill, SB 53, that would require the world’s largest AI companies to publish safety and security protocols and issue reports when safety incidents occur. If signed into law, California would be the first state to impose meaningful transparency requirements onto leading AI developers, likely including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI.

Why the AI moratorium’s defeat may signal a new political era

technologyreview.com Grace Huckins 2026-03-11 03:00:00

Granted, there’s an argument to be made that the moratorium’s defeat was highly contingent. Blackburn appears to have been motivated almost entirely by concerns about children’s online safety and the rights of country musicians to control their own likenesses; state lawmakers, meanwhile, were affronted by the federal government’s attempt to defang legislation that they had already passed. And even though powerful technology firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and OpenAI reportedly lobbied in favo

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET OpenSUSE is a powerful operating system, but I still haven't recommended it to new Linux users. Why? It's too powerful, and it doesn't include essential day-to-day software. That's a shame, because openSUSE is also very reliable, stable, and secure.

Given its buggy launch on PC and Xbox, the wait may be a good thing. Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming to PS5.

However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension.

A Giant Planet and a Small Star Are Shaking Up Conventional Cosmological Theory

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously thought a star like this could not have large planets circulating it, because its mass is only about 20 percent of the sun, meaning its planetary system—generated from materials surrounding the star—would not have contained enough mass to form a giant body like Saturn or Jupiter.
