news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-18 23:53:13

An investigation was underway, and readers were urged to “use caution” when relying on the results. A whistleblower had come forward and sa

The Internet Archive made it easier to search for '90s-era GIFs. GifCities contains millions of animations from the decade of flannel shirts and Soup Nazis. The GIFs were pulled from old GeoCities webpages, which (mostly) bit the dust in 2009. The new version of GifCities is much easier to search. You can now search semantically, based on the animation's content. In other words, it's much more likely to bring up the topic or scene you're looking for by describing it.

Frontier AI Models Are Getting Stumped by a Simple Children's Game

Earlier this week, researchers at Apple released a damning paper, criticizing the AI industry for vastly overstating the ability of its top AI models to reason or "think."

Within the same layers of icy soil, researchers found woolly mammoth bones with evidence of human processing.
