A lot gets covered in today's discourse about AI in software development. Most of it is noise, ranging from nihilism that we're all writing mediocre code anyway so why does it matter to endless wannabe AI influencers doing engagement bait on Twitter. Every new model release gets a bunch of threadicles 👇 amounting to the 2025 version of "Safari feels snappier".

Betel nuts have been giving people a buzz for over 4,000 years

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-19 10:24:30

Ancient rituals and customs often leave behind obvious archaeological evidence. From the impeccably preserved mummies of Egypt to psychoactive substance residue that remained at the bottom of a clay vessel for thousands of years, it seems as if some remnants of the past, even if not all are immediately visible, have defied the ravages of time. Chewing betel nuts is a cultural practice in parts of Southeast Asia. When chewed, these reddish nuts, which are the fruit of the areca palm, release psy

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-19 15:20:21

Apple has typically updated the MacBook Pro on a nearly annual basis, generally around October. This year, though, rumors suggest that Apple will be deviating from that pattern – and it’s increasingly likely that the next MacBook Pro model will launch early next year. That raises the question: should you wait for it?

I've bought every flagship Google Pixel phone since the first - but 2025 has me reconsidering

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-11-19 15:25:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 is expected to receive significant upgrades this year, including a dedicated telephoto lens. Greater feature parity with the Pro models, combined with no expected price increases, makes the standard Pixel an enticing option. It still won't be the best option for power users, especially if you want the most capable camera system from Google.

The time has come for Google’s “Made by Google” event. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, Google will once again unveil a family of new Pixel devices, and this time we’d bet good money that its AI chatbot, Gemini, will be in the driver’s seat. Unless Google plans to pull a rabbit out of a hat, we’re not expecting any hardware surprises.

Settlements of gloomy octopuses in Australia Octopolis and Octlantis are two non-human settlements occupied by gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) in Jervis Bay, on the south coast of New South Wales. The first site, named "Octopolis" by biologists, was found in 2009. Octopolis consists of a bed of shells (mainly scallop shells) in an ellipse shape, 2–3 meters diameter on its longer axis, with a single piece of anthropogenic detritus, believed to be scrap metal, within the site.

Howard Lutnick Calls CHIPS Act a ‘Giveaway to Rich Companies’ Like Intel

The U.S. government could get a 10% equity stake in Intel in exchange for more funds from the CHIPS Act, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who appeared on CNBC Tuesday. Lutnick was pressed about whether that would be a worse deal than what Intel had previously received under the Biden-era manufacturing plan, and the commerce secretary seemed more than happy to acknowledge it was. “Of course it’s worse, of course it’s worse…” Lutnick said, laughing.

Google didn't need to make its own smartphone.
