gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-02 12:35:07

Jellyfish may be spineless, but they showed the backbone of a dedicated environmentalist over the weekend. A swarm of the gelatinous sea dwellers overwhelmed a nuclear power plant in northern France, forcing its shutdown on Sunday. The incident started when a “massive and unpredictable” swarm of jellyfish started to overwhelm the filter drums, which remove debris from cooling water systems, at the Gravelines nuclear power plant that sits on the coast of the North Sea.

Learn, Reflect, Apply, Prepare: The Four Daily Practices That Changed How I Live

news.ycombinator.com Sainath Krishnamurthy 2025-12-02 16:06:04

In a world obsessed with hacks, sprints, and overnight success, I’ve been drawn to something quieter, simpler, and, at least for me, more sustaining: a daily rhythm built around four verbs. No apps. No dashboards. Just a living experiment I return to every day: Learn. Reflect. Apply. Prepare. I haven’t mastered this. Far from it. But the more I practice, the more I notice how these four verbs gently shape my days, especially when things feel chaotic or uncertain. 1. Learn Something Every Day

Scientists hid secret codes in light to combat video fakes

It's easier than ever to manipulate video footage to deceive the viewer and increasingly difficult for fact checkers to detect such manipulations. Cornell University scientists developed a new weapon in this ongoing arms race: software that codes a "watermark" into light fluctuations, which in turn can reveal when the footage has been tampered with. The researchers presented the breakthrough over the weekend at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and published a scientific paper in Jun

The debate over whether AI chipmakers should be allowed to sell their products to China has taken an unusual turn. The US government has reportedly given NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) permission to make the sales but for one big catch: 15 percent of the sales.

Stigmas should be stigmatized. Whether we’re talking about mental health or wearing cargo pants, the world would benefit from less societal shade. For hearing aids, these often-bulky devices can age a wearer faster than gray hair or referencing Jefferson Airplane deep cuts. But despite often being associated with seniors, more than 9 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 59 have some degree of hearing loss.
