Concern Grows That Elon Musk Is Having Some Kind of AI Meltdown

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-28 08:20:36

With all the frenzied news swirling around these days, it's understandable if you let Elon Musk slip from the top of your mind. While the billionaire's mental state was arguably frayed during his stint as DOGE czar — thanks in no small part to what's been reported as a constant stream of illicit drugs — it's become visibly more concerning since his dramatic departure earlier this summer. Seemingly trying to distract himself from the decline of Tesla, the world's richest man has embarked on a n

Apple is about to finally give iPad users the best reason to go iPad Pro

Apple launched the iPad Pro nearly 10 years ago, yet this fall as the M5 iPad Pro arrives powered by iPadOS 26, the company will finally have a great reason for users to go Pro. The disappointing history of iPad Pro letdowns When the iPad Pro first came on the scene in 2015, I’ll confess that I thought it was kind of ridiculous. “A 13-inch iPad?

Hey HN, For a while now, our team has been trying to solve a common problem: getting all the context needed to debug a bug report without the endless back-and-forth.

Goonies never say die, and apparently, neither do sequels.

Microsoft has introduced AI models that it trained internally and says it will begin using them in some products. This announcement may represent an effort to move away from dependence on OpenAI, despite Microsoft's substantial investment in that company. It comes more than a year after insider reports revealed that Microsoft was beginning work on its own foundational models. A post on the Microsoft AI blog describes two models.

SQLite's Durability Settings Are a Mess

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Ayer 2025-10-28 12:30:29

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost

Our Best Look Yet at a Solar Flare Reveals the Sun’s Wilder Side

It took astronomers a little over a year to analyze the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare. But they’re finally done, and the results are illuminating—literally and figuratively. Last year, NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured a high-resolution image of a solar flare crossed with dark strands of coronal loops. Further analysis revealed that the solar flare was an X-class flare—the most powerful class—in a decay phase. The coronal loop strands averaged around 30 miles (48 kilometer
