Introduction to Go 1.25 The latest Go release, version 1.25, arrives in August 2025, six months after Go 1.24. Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.

Galileo’s telescopes: Seeing is believing (2010)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 11:33:43

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

Anchor positioning allows you to place an element on the page based on where another element is. It makes it easier to create responsive menus and tooltips with less code using only CSS. Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have an avatar in your nav, like this: When you click the avatar, you want a menu to appear right below it. The clicking interaction can be handled with just CSS using the Popover API. But once you click, where does your menu show up? Figuring this out typically requires som

StubHub is once again working on its IPO that could raise $1B

In Brief StubHub is giving a strong indication that its IPO is back on again. It filed a public S-1 in late March, then paused in April after the Trump administration’s tariffs spooked Wall Street. On Monday, it filed an updated S-1 that now includes Q1 2025 results. IPO experts Renaissance Capital estimated in March that the IPO could raise $1 billion, and says this fresh S-1 could mean a debut next month.

What are Apple’s options for an AI acquisition beyond Perplexity?

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-03 03:26:30

Since Apple’s latest earnings call, talk of a potential Perplexity acquisition has quieted down (the fact that Perplexity was once again allegedly caught red-handed sidestepping content restrictions didn’t help). Meanwhile, with the ever-increasing number of engineers from its Foundation Models team jumping ship, Apple’s need for fresh talent is getting more urgent by the day.

Why it’s a mistake to ask chatbots about their mistakes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-03 12:52:39

When something goes wrong with an AI assistant, our instinct is to ask it directly: "What happened?" or "Why did you do that?" It's a natural impulse—after all, if a human makes a mistake, we ask them to explain. But with AI models, this approach rarely works, and the urge to ask reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are and how they operate. A recent incident with Replit's AI coding assistant perfectly illustrates this problem. When the AI tool deleted a production datab

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future. It led many people to assume those are the jobs that will soon be replaced by machines, and since “historian” ranked second highest on the list, it raised more than a few eyebrows among historians on social media.
