techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-11-13 12:12:29

General Fusion, a Canadian nuclear fusion energy startup, announced today that it had been thrown a lifeline in the form of $22 million in fresh funding. The company had laid off at least 25% of its employees in May in a bid to shore up its stretched finances. At the same time, CEO Greg Twinney wrote an open letter pleading for funding. The additional cash will give General Fusion some breathing room, though not much. A subset of General Fusion’s existing investors ultimately ponied up for wha

Forced every engineer to take sales calls.They rewrote our platform in 2 weeks

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-13 15:46:16

Our senior DevOps engineer thought I'd lost my mind. He didn't join a startup to do sales. So he promised me 5 calls and I guaranteed he'd never have to do it again. It was a bit of a back-and-forth but I strongly believe it fundamentally changed how we build products. When I sat in on the calls, I observed a few things: - Seeing them explain why our competitor's platform was "too complex for non-technical users." - Seeing them assure the customer that the continuous monitoring was actually w

Story comprehension The robots of Westworld are not programmed solely by software developers. The bulk of the work is done by professional writers, who give each character a unique backstory. These stories give them the memories and depth they need to seem real to the park guests.

Pokémon looks scary again in the new Z-A trailer

theverge.com Charles Pulliam-Moore 2025-11-14 03:35:31

One of the most brilliant things about Pokémon Legends: Arceus was the way it dropped you into the wilderness to fend for yourself as wild monsters tried to kill you. It was a surprising deviation from the franchise’s typically chill vibe that complimented the game’s story about how humans once lived in constant fear of pokémon. Arceus’ mild horror elements felt like something that might not carry over to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but the new game’s latest trailer makes it seem like Nintendo wants t

AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'

Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman has suggested firing junior workers because AI can do their jobs is "the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Garman made that remark in conversation with AI investor Matthew Berman, during which he talked up AWS’s Kiro AI-assisted coding tool and said he's encountered business leaders who think AI tools "can replace all of our junior people in our company." That notion led to the “dumbest thing I've ever heard” quote, followed by a justification that junior staf

Earlier this week, a bean moved into my phone. Their name is Billie Bean King, and when I’m working, they work too, knitting socks and scarves. Billie’s knitted wares are more than just cozy clothes — they’re currency, used to buy lo-fi decorations for their barren room. But there’s a catch: Billie can only work when I’m not using my phone. That’s where the fun begins. Billie is a bean from the Focus Friend app, launched last month for iOS and Android by Hank Green of assorted internet fame. Th

Tony Gilroy Is Very Sad at How Relevant ‘Andor’ Has Become

When Tony Gilroy began his Andor journey, his original pitch was deemed “pretty mad and undoable” by Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner revealed how that initial take would later get revisited after Lucasfilm gave it some thought. “They came back to me and said, ‘We looked at this memo from a year and a half ago, and it makes a lot more sense to us now,'” he recalled.
