Nuclear startup Deep Fission goes public in a curious SPAC

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-07 19:08:40

Nuclear startup Deep Fission announced Monday that it has gone public in a reverse merger, netting the company $30 million. No, it’s not 2021. The startup is proposing to build small, cylindrical nuclear power plants and lower them into 30-inch diameter holes drilled one mile down into the Earth. By burying the reactors, the company hopes to solve several problems that plague current reactors, including concerns over meltdowns and potential terrorist attacks.

Never one to properly interpret anything scientific, uber-popular podcaster Joe Rogan has become entranced by a study that affirms his climate skepticism. Now, as The Guardian reports, one of the study's authors is setting the record straight and pointing out that Rogan is not only drawing the exact opposite conclusion from the study, but that he's spewing misinformation to a vast audience using his incorrect takeaways.

Experts Concerned AI Is Going to Start a Nuclear War

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 03:09:54

AI is starting to make experts on nuclear deterrence very nervous. Specifically, they say that a widespread push to integrate AI into virtually every level of military decision-making is creating a "slippery slope" in which AI will either be given the power to launch nuclear weapons itself, or the humans with that power will become so reliant on its guidance that they'll do so if it tells them to. Worst of all, they say, is that this is still happening while we still don't quite understand how

Everything You Need to Know About the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Much of the world will get to witness the spectacle of a total lunar eclipse on Sunday night. A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, briefly aligning in a way that completely shadows the Moon. A full moon lunar eclipse happens in three phases. The first phase is the penumbral phase when the Moon starts to enter Earth’s shadow. Then the partial phase begins, when a part of the moon enters the deep part of Earth’s shadow called the umbra.

Using Claude Code SDK to reduce E2E test time

news.ycombinator.com Jampa Uchoa 2025-10-09 00:57:51

End-to-end (E2E) tests sit at the top of the test pyramid because they're slow, fragile, and expensive. But they're also the only tests that completely verify complete user workflows actually work across systems. Due to time constraints, most teams run E2E nightly to avoid CI bottlenecks. However, this means bugs can slip through to production and be harder to fix because there are so many changes to isolate the root cause.

Since most of what they consume is on the open web, it’s difficult for authors to withhold consent without also depriving legitimate agents (AKA humans or “meat bags”) of information.
