news.ycombinator.com Tomasz Kramkowski 2025-09-12 03:09:42

My Lights Run on Bash Among the many hobbies that modern nerds pick up, one has recently become incredibly popular: making everything in your house dangerously unreliable by inserting a bunch of software where previously simple wires had sufficed. In this post, I describe how I replaced the wires between my lights and my light switches with some Bash. Bash as critical infrastructure? Am I alright? Do I need to see a psychiatrist? These are all good questions, but let's leave them for another p

Rocket Report: SpaceX’s dustup on the border; Northrop has a nozzle problem

Welcome to Edition 7.50 of the Rocket Report! We're nearly halfway through the year, and it seems like a good time to look back on the past six months. What has been most surprising to me in the world of rockets? First, I didn't expect SpaceX to have this much trouble with Starship Version 2. Growing pains are normal for new rockets, but I expected the next big hurdles for SpaceX to clear with Starship to be catching the ship from orbit and orbital refueling, not completing a successful launch.

By beaming an ultra-low latency live feed from its camera directly into a pair of goggles, a first-person view (FPV) drone puts you right in the cockpit of a small and agile aircraft able to squeak through the smallest of gaps and pull off breath-taking moves like flips, barrel rolls, loops and vertical plunges.

Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa Review: Gorgeous and Functional

Back in 2020, my colleague Scott Gilbertson tried the Joybird Eliot sofa. And he hated it. Ever since, the Joybird Eliot has been the only pick in the “Avoid” section of our couches buying guide. When Joybird reached out explaining that it had revamped the Eliot (and its customer service—more on that later), I was skeptical about trying it. But I did it for you, reader, and I'm happy to report that after three months of testing, this improved couch earns a passing grade in my book. From Swatch

Graphic artists in China push back on AI and its averaging effect

Sendi Jia, a designer running her own studio between Beijing, China, and London, England, says she mainly uses AI generators like DALL-E to make fake photos for background panels or websites when her clients don’t have access to real ones. That’s helped clients with limited budgets, but it’s also exposed just how much of the creative process AI can replace. Recently, a potential client working in a university contacted Jia about creating the logo for a new project. Then, they changed their mind.

Apple Original Films just had its biggest theatrical debut ever, with F1 The Movie. The movie reportedly had a budget of $300 million, which puts it in the same territory as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But how big must the premiere box office be to count as a blockbuster in 2025? We did the math.
