The Great American EV Tax Credit Rush Has Begun

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-01 11:39:05

The great EV buying frenzy has officially begun. In the last 48 hours, Tesla has seen delivery times for some of its most popular models skyrocket from a few weeks to nearly six months, a clear signal that consumers are stampeding to buy an electric vehicle before a crucial federal tax credit disappears for good. This is the short-term sales boom that experts have been predicting, a last-chance gold rush for buyers. But for the EV industry, it’s also a sugar rush that could lead to a brutal cra

Vanishing from Hyundai’s data network

The Yuppie Button page talks about making lots of light. Now I needed to do the opposite, by "going dark" -- to vanish completely from Hyundai's data network, and avoid having the car being tracked or actively interfered with outside of my control. See, this is one of the showstopping problems I have with Tesla -- they *insist* that you have your car online all the time, talking to Tesla's cloud and sending telematic data. Thank you, NO.

“The Hollow Men” at 100

news.ycombinator.com Micah Mattix 2026-01-01 05:48:00

Eliot in 1926. Photography by Henry Ware Eliot. “The Hollow Men,” as we have it now, was first published in T.S. Eliot’s Poems: 1909-1925. It is the final poem in the collection, appearing directly after The Waste Land. To say it was first published in 1925 is a little misleading. The third section (of the five) appeared in the 1924 miscellany The Chapbook. It was part of a grouping of three lyrics under the title “Doris’s Dream Songs.” (Most of the contributors to The Chapbook are forgotten.

New Gel Could Heal Stubborn Diabetic Wounds in Under 2 Weeks

For people with diabetes, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to chronic wounds that stay open for months. But a new gel-based treatment could massively speed up the healing process for people with diabetes, allowing wounds to close in just days, according to a new study. The new treatment targets thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a protein that inhibits the growth of new blood vessels, a crucial step in the healing process.

Scientists Recreated the Universe’s First Molecule

Seconds after the Big Bang, the newborn universe gave rise to the first elements—ionized forms of hydrogen and helium. These particles combined, forging helium hydride—the first ever molecule. It would take another several hundred million years for the first stars to be born, and scientists have long puzzled over the exact nature of the chemical processes that led to their formation. To try and tease apart the stellar origin story, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in H

These days, everyone seems to have an opinion about A.I. companions. Last year, I found myself joining the debate, publishing a paper—co-written with two fellow psychology professors and a philosopher—called “In Praise of Empathic A.I.” Our argument was that, in certain ways, the latest crop of A.I.s might make for better company than many real people do, and that, rather than recoiling in horror, we ought to consider what A.I. companions could offer to those who are lonely.

The causes of revolutions and major rebellions are in many ways similar to processes that cause earthquakes (Goldstone 1991: 35). In both revolutions and earthquakes it is useful to distinguish the structural conditions (pressures, which build up slowly) from triggers (sudden releasing events, which immediately precede a social or geological eruption). Specific triggers of political upheavals, such as self-immolation of a fruit vendor, which triggered the Arabic Spring in Tunisia, are very hard
