Exploring Grid-Aware Websites

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 23:17:44

Over the past year, I’ve had the incredible privilege of getting to participate in the Grid-Aware Websites (affectionately abbreviated to GAW) advisory group. The Green Web Foundation team have thoroughly explained what a grid-aware website is in this detailed case study of the Branch Magazine redesign, but if I had to put it in my own words, a grid-aware website responds to the cleanliness or dirtiness of a user’s electricity grid. In simpler terms, whether it is currently using more renewable

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-09 00:30:52

Nothing’s Ear wireless earbuds are on their way back for a new iteration. According to Nothing, the Ear 3 (which is actually its sixth pair of wireless earbuds if we’re counting) will officially launch on Sept. 18, and we even have our first real look. Based on this official image, the Ear 3 doesn’t seem to break the mold of Nothing’s previous wireless earbuds entirely, but it does come with some interesting design shifts.

Experts Concerned AI Is Going to Start a Nuclear War

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 08:09:54

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

Requiem for an Exit

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 10:08:20

Between 1994 and 2004, Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam created a series of robotic installations exploring the intersections between technology, ideology, and collective memory. These robots evoked the aesthetics of political mass movements, echoing the fractured language of 20th-century totalitarianisms and its countercultures. Two decades later, the artists revisit these themes in Requiem for an Exit. At the center of the installation stands a towering robotic figure, four meters tall—a skelet
