After anti-vaccine advocate and US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 experts who sat on a revered federal vaccine panel and restocked it with eight dubious members, a growing chorus of lawmakers, health experts, and public advocates are calling for a pivotal meeting scheduled for Wednesday to be scrapped and for the panel to be "dissolved" and remade with qualified members. On June 9, Kennedy unilaterally cleaned out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Co

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-01 10:26:50

Trump's Attack May Instead Spur Iran to Speedrun a Nuclear Weapon It Wasn't Building Previously An extremely ironic outcome. Bomb Squad President Donald Trump is trying to derail Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions by bombing its known nuclear research facilities — but it turns out that's easier said than done. US officials have trumpeted that the recent strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, but satellite images have cast doubt on that claim. And in any case, Trump's bombing camp

An image shared by leaker Majin Bu offers what may be the clearest look yet at Apple’s rumored solution to a growing challenge in high-performance smartphones: heat dissipation. Here’s what it looks like. According to Bu’s sources, Apple is preparing to bring a vapor chamber to the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, a technology already common in gaming laptops and high-end Android flagships.

Tesla's first robotaxi rides are already running into a few bumps

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-02 11:53:08

Tesla launched its robotaxi service over the weekend, with only a small number of cars and heavy human supervision on and off the road. While less impressive than previously promised, the company's caution ultimately seems for the best — at least one robotaxi attempted to drive on the wrong side of the road, based on a video posted to X and spotted by Bloomberg. The ride video shared by Rob Maurer is largely uneventful, with the Tesla navigating turns and lane merges with few issues. Except for

Mathematicians Hunting Prime Numbers Discover Infinite New Pattern

news.ycombinator.com Rachel Crowell 2025-09-01 17:28:29

For centuries, prime numbers have captured the imaginations of mathematicians, who continue to search for new patterns that help identify them and the way they’re distributed among other numbers. Primes are whole numbers that are greater than 1 and are divisible by only 1 and themselves. The three smallest prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5. It's easy to find out if small numbers are prime—one simply needs to check what numbers can factor them. When mathematicians consider large numbers, however, the
