wired.com Rob Reddick 2025-10-01 22:00:00

The world of pregnancy is going to radically change, predicts Noor Siddiqui. “I think that the default way people are going to choose to have kids is via IVF and embryo screening,” she said at the WIRED Health summit last week. “There’s just a massive amount of risk that you can take off of the table.” Siddiqui is the founder and CEO of Orchid, a biotech company that offers whole-genome screening of embryos for IVF.

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

news.ycombinator.com Stephen Follows 2025-09-29 11:43:26

Colour is one of the quickest ways a poster can tell you what kind of film it’s selling. Before you’ve read the title or registered the actors, your brain has already clocked the palette and filed it against a lifetime of genre expectations. Over the past century, marketing teams have shifted from painterly illustration to photography and from saturated Technicolor hues to today’s more controlled, strategic colour use. I wanted to take a data-led look at colours on movie posters, so I gather

Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose

A new study from South Dakota State University reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time. The need for biodegradable packaging material has never been higher. Currently, most packaging is "single use" and is made with plastic materials, derived from nonrenewable sources like crude oil that take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. On t

A newly discovered phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform, named VoidProxy, targets Microsoft 365 and Google accounts, including those protected by third-party single sign-on (SSO) providers such as Okta. The platform uses adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) tactics to steal credentials, multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes, and session cookies in real time.

Lexy: A parser combinator library for C++17

Why should I use lexy over XYZ? lexy is closest to other PEG parsers. However, they usually do more implicit backtracking, which can hurt performance and you need to be very careful with rules that have side-effects. This is not the case for lexy, where backtracking is controlled using branch conditions. lexy also gives you a lot of control over error reporting, supports error recovery, special support for operator precedence parsing, and other advanced features.
