The Cells That Breathe Two Ways

news.ycombinator.com Jake Buehler 2025-09-12 16:38:31

Take a deep breath. A flow of air has rushed into your lungs, where the oxygen moves into your bloodstream, fueling metabolic fires in cells throughout your body. You, being an aerobic organism, use oxygen as the cellular spark that frees molecular energy from the food you eat. But not all organisms on the planet live or breathe this way. Instead of using oxygen to harvest energy, many single-celled life-forms that live in environments far from oxygen’s reach, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents

Trump’s Anti-Bias AI Order Is Just More Bias

wired.com Steven Levy 2025-09-12 19:00:00

On November 2, 2022, I attended a Google AI event in New York City. One of the themes was responsible AI. As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda.

Elon Musk Is Furious That People Are Launching So Many Satellites, Even Though He's Personally Responsible for 60 Percent of All Satellites Currently in Space

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-16 00:43:14

SpaceX has launched over 9,000 satellites into orbit, and the vast majority of them are still in operation today. As a result of that massive constellation, the Elon Musk-led firm controls over 60 percent of all active satellites currently in orbit. And the company's actively working to launch tens of thousands more, in an effort to bring Starlink broadband satellite internet to the world, efforts that critics say could severely impact the world of astronomy and potentially result in catastroph

Subscribers to Fashion Magazine Vogue Disgusted When They Realize Where Its New Two-Page "Photo" Really Came From

Subscribers to the iconic fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue were horrified after spotting a double-page ad for the brand Guess, featuring a blonde model who didn't look quite right. Unsurprisingly, a small caption in the top left-hand corner revealed that the two images, which showed the fake model sporting two different looks, were "produced" by AI marketing company Seraphinne Vallora.

Mysterious Petroglyphs Reemerge on Oahu Beach

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first

GM’s EVs have been on a roll lately.
