Six-month-old, solo-owned vibe coder Base44 sells to Wix for $80M cash

There’s a lot of talk in the startup world about how AI makes individuals so productive that it could give rise to a generation of “solo unicorns” – one-person companies worth over $1 billion. While an actual solo unicorn remains a mythical creature, Israeli developer Maor Shlomo provided compelling evidence Wednesday that the concept might not be impossible. Shlomo sold his six-month-old, bootstrapped vibe-coding startup Base44 to Wix for $80 million deal, Wix announced Wednesday. And the dea

Caldwell 65, better known as the Sculptor galaxy, is bursting with stellar activity and dust-rich features. Located 11 million light-years away—right next door in cosmological terms—it offers a rare glimpse of young stars being born into the celestial circle of life. Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers captured an incredibly detailed image of the nearby spiral galaxy, displayed in thousands of colors that illuminate all the action taking place in our galactic neighborhood.

Cluely had hoped to throw an after-party for a Y Combinator event occurring on Monday and Tuesday called AI Startup School.

‘Ironheart’ Will Continue Tony Stark’s Legacy, and Robert Downey Jr. Approves

“I want to continue Stark’s legacy,” says Riri Williams, the main character in the upcoming Marvel Studios show Ironheart. Played by Dominique Thorne, Riri is a genius inventor, just like the late, great Iron Man, but without his billionaire resources. That conflict will be at the heart of the new show, which debuts on Disney+ June 24, and Tony Stark himself just endorsed it. Two fantastic Ironheart videos just came online, one of which focuses on the practical suits built for the production. E

A New ‘Star Trek’ Comic Will Bring Captain Kirk Back to Life

Somehow, Captain Kirk returned. Wrong sci-fi franchise for that meme, but it’s true. IDW Publishing has just announced Star Trek: The Last Starship as a new addition to its line of Trek comics, and it’ll focus on a certain Starfleet hero who’s been dead since the big-screen events of 1994’s Star Trek: Generations. How is this possible? Well, beyond the long-held notion that anything is possible in sci-fi, a notion that also applies to comic books, the Hollywood Reporter—which was the first to a

When Tony Gilroy and his Andor star Diego Luna decided to cram half a decade’s worth of new Star Wars lore into three episodes per year leading up to the events of Rogue One, they knew the task was unbelievably ambitious. In a chat with the Wrap, Gilroy expressed the excitement everyone involved felt over their great big heist of an entry into Lucasfilm’s Star Wars lore. “We kept waiting for it to fail, going, ‘There must be something that’s going to bite us here.’ We kept waiting for a bugaboo

The Future of ‘Star Wars’ May Not Be as Connected as We Expect

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-12 13:30:04

One of the best, and worst, things about Star Wars in recent years is just how connected everything has been. It meant characters who may have at first seemed tangential, like Cassian Andor in Rogue One, could be greatly expanded in something like Andor. It also meant audiences who had never watched an animated show like Clone Wars or Rebels might be left confused with the stories in something like Ahsoka. In those cases and others, there always seemed to be some kind of guardrails on what was p

Seastar Seastar is a fast, extensible build system for C, C++, and maybe soon, Rust and Zig as well. I believe that it should be easy to make, prototype, and iterate upon designs. While C is still one of our most widely used languages, it makes it hard to create programs easily, especially for beginners. Instead, Seastar aims to be more like Rust's tooling with cargo , but supporting seamless compilation across more languages. Running Seastar is very simple to build and run. Assuming you have

How to modify Starlink Mini to run without the built-in WiFi router

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely. In this article, I’ll detail the process of physically removing the built-in Wi-Fi router board from the Starlink Mini, allowing the terminal to operate solely via Ethernet
