Long-Dead NASA Satellite Suddenly Lets Out Epic Blast of Energy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-12 08:30:37

NASA's experimental Relay 2 satellite had been dead in the sky since 1967 — until last summer, when it emitted a super-short and very powerful burst of energy out of nowhere. In an interview with New Scientist, one of the researchers from Australia's Curtin University who discovered the strange pulse coming off the dead communications satellite described his shock at finding the nearby source of that nanosecond-long energy blast.

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad-boy persona”

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself.

iPadOS 26: Testing the new local capture for podcasting

If you’re a creator or podcaster, I’ll bet your ears perked up towards the end of the WWDC25 keynote, when Apple announced that built-in local audio and video capture during calls would be coming to iPadOS 26. And while I have tried (and repeatedly failed) to fit the iPad in my podcasting workflow, I knew Jason Snell would be one of the first to take the feature for a spin. And he did just that.

Harry Brearley, the creator of stainless steel (2016)

news.ycombinator.com Jonathan Waldman 2025-09-12 09:52:27

Sometime in 1882, a skinny, dark-haired, 11-year-old boy named Harry Brearley entered a steelworks for the first time. A shy kid—he was scared of the dark, and a picky eater—he was also curious, and the industrial revolution in Sheffield, England, offered much in the way of amusements. He enjoyed wandering around town—he later called himself a Sheffield Street Arab—watching road builders, bricklayers, painters, coal deliverers, butchers, and grinders.

Scientists Just Found Something Unbelievably Grim About Pollution Generated by AI

Tech companies are hellbent on pushing out ever more advanced artificial intelligence models — but there appears to be a grim cost to that progress. In a new study in the science journal Frontiers in Communication, German researchers found that large language models (LLM) that provide more accurate answers use exponentially more energy — and hence produce more carbon — than their simpler and lower-performing peers. In other words, the findings are a grim sign of things to come for the environme

Every fall, Google rolls out its flagships, followed by the mid-range Pixel A launch a few months later in the spring. Usually, that mid-ranger takes most of its cues (and all of its internals) from the flagships, giving us a great chance to recommend the full Pixel experience without the full Pixel price.
