American military service members deserve the right to repair

news.ycombinator.com Lt. Col. Cindy Serrano Roberts 2026-01-06 20:21:53

“The generator is down, and we don’t have enough ice to continue icing the remains of soldiers killed in action. How much longer, ma’am?” That’s the message I received while deployed to Balad, Iraq, as an Air Force second lieutenant. I was overseeing generators in theater, and the one powering the mortuary facility had failed. The clock was ticking. I didn’t have HVAC expertise or the necessary parts. The only viable backup generator was on the other side of the country. I had two choices: ini

Group Borrowing: Zero-cost memory safety with fewer restrictions

Teams Grow Organically

news.ycombinator.com Frederick Vanbrabant 2026-01-03 02:00:15

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy: IT at level one, Software Development and Ops at level two, and then individual teams, like: Software Team X or Ops Team Y, at level three. What’s surprising is how rarely these structures reflect reality. In practice,

Will AI Replace Human Thinking? The Case for Writing and Coding Manually

news.ycombinator.com Simon Späti 2026-01-06 17:40:58

Learning to Think Again, and the Cost of AI Dependency. There are so many (hype/boring) posts about AI coming out every day. It’s OK to use it, and everyone does it, but still learn your craft, and try to think. Similar to what DHH said: It’s also more fun to be competent in something than constantly waiting for an AI to complete. The probability that AI will make us unhappy is very high IMO. Use it, yes, but not for every task. For discovering, creating a historical overview, or creating di

How Is AI Used In Space? This Wild Look Into a Data Center Plan Has Clues

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2026-01-06 20:05:57

The world runs on data. As humanity’s information gets increasingly digitized and artificial intelligence creeps its way into every aspect of life, data centers become more and more important. But that data comes with a catch: the servers in these data centers have monstrous energy demands that eat up natural resources like water, and that puts a significant burden on local communities where data centers are located.

“Flesh-eating” bacteria are continuing to claim lives this summer.

China Takes a Key Step Toward Its ‘Meltdown-Proof’ Nuclear Reactor

China’s ambitious plan to dramatically pull back from fossil fuels is perhaps most evident in the explosive growth of its nuclear energy program. The latest news suggests China may be tantalizingly close to bringing self-cooling reactors to practical use—a development with profound safety implications. In a statement earlier this week, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced that it had recently concluded tests for a residual heat removal system for integral fast reactors (IFRs).

Rumored PS6 Handheld Could Steal the Switch 2’s Best Features

There’s something so intoxicatingly convenient about a game handheld. Despite the fact the Nintendo Switch 2’s design hasn’t changed from its 8-year-old prequel, it’s still the epitome of gaming thanks to the dock that connects it to your TV. Sony’s PlayStation brand seems to be hedging on the same bet Nintendo made nearly a decade ago.

Trump admin dismisses Endangered Species List as “Hotel California”

One of the rock band’s lead singers, Don Henley, said in an interview that the song and place “can have a million interpretations.” For US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, what comes to mind is a key part of one of the country’s most central conservation laws. “The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel Californ
