New York State wants more nuclear power in a big way

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-05 15:03:24

New York governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday that her state will host a large new nuclear power plant designed to generate at least 1 gigawatt of electricity. “If you take nuclear off the table, you have to burn more fossil fuels,” Hochul said at a press conference. “That’s not going to work for us here in New York.” The governor is directing the New York Power Authority (NYPA), which owns and operates two dozen power plants — mostly dams and gas turbines — to develop the new facility.

Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time at tech titans' dinner

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-10-05 19:22:00

What just happened? Given that there was a time when Microsoft called Linux a "cancer," it's little surprise that the Redmond firm's co-founder and long-time boss Bill Gates had never met Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel. But that changed recently when the two attended a dinner, and it appears to have gone well. Microsoft chief technical officer Mark Russinovich posted evidence of the historic dinner in a LinkedIn post. Dave Cutler, the legendary programmer and lead architect of the

Meta is ruining WhatsApp with ads, but I still can’t leave it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 14:00:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority When WhatsApp was acquired by Meta (then Facebook) over a decade ago, people immediately began to fairly speculate that ads would eventually seep into what had, until then, been a refreshingly ad-free messaging experience. And yet, quite surprisingly, WhatsApp managed to stay mostly unspoiled, even though bits of Instagram and Facebook (like Stories and Communities) kept sneaking in. That sunny stretch is starting to fade at last. If you’ve been following th

New iPhone roadmap reveals timing of three big design changes

We’re just a few months away from Apple’s launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. But an analyst with expertise in displays just shared a roadmap for three design changes coming with future iPhones, starting next year. The road to an all-screen iPhone may be longer than expected Apple has a lot of big changes coming to the iPhone in the next few years. But new expectations published by supply chain analyst Ross Young indicate some of the updates may not arrive on the timeline we’d previously expected

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-05 19:59:45

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows?

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-05 19:30:03

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop.

This wasn’t a falling out between the two titans in tech, but rather the result of something altogether stranger.
