9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-07 17:27:57

Last week, President Trump called for the dismissal of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan over “highly CONFLICTED” ties to China, further escalating an already difficult situation for the executive. Today, following a meeting, Trump appeared to soften his stance, even if partially. A quick recap Before joining Intel, Tan worked as CEO for Cadence Design Systems, a firm that just pleaded guilty to an investigation by the Justice Department over charges of “selling its chip-design products to a Chinese milit

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-07 22:06:35

Elon Musk is (once again) going after Apple, this time accusing the company of an “unequivocal antitrust violation” for allegedly favoring OpenAI in the App Store’s AI rankings. Here are the details. A bit of context Last month, xAI released Grok 4, its latest large language model, promising major performance gains over leading competitors. Since then, the company has also rolled out features like Grok Imagine, its image and video generator, as well as customizable “companion” chatbots. Durin

The History of Windows XP

news.ycombinator.com Bradford Morgan White 2026-02-05 22:22:23

Microsoft is an interesting company. It is a company whose omnipresence shapes the perception of its products. By the end of the 1990s, Microsoft’s products had become part of the landscape of life. Any change to any product would stir overreaction whether it be positive or negative, and some time later, that same product would just be quotidian, and the next release would be the problem of the world or the cure to all ills. The previous release would then be the single most loved and cherished

The value of institutional memory

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-07 10:53:43

In 1978, a dredging gang working for British Waterways was struggling with a problem. They were trying to clear obstacles on the Chesterfield Canal so they could stabilise a concrete wall — not an easy day’s work. But what really had them stumped was a heavy iron chain on the canal bottom. After various attempts, they hooked the chain to their dredger. That did the trick. A firm pull removed the chain and the block of wood on the end of it. The gang took a well-earned break for tea. The tea bre

What does it mean to be thirsty?

Because these brain areas are difficult to study — due not only to their location, but also to their composition, with many different cell types and crisscrossed circuitry — it’s only in the last decade or so that neuroscientists have begun to understand how thirst fundamentally works. The body, researchers have found, is filled with sensors that feed clues to the brain about how much water or salt an organism needs to consume. How those sensors work, or what they even are, continues to elude sc

With Grok, the months pass, but the story stays the same. The AI chatbot from xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, continues to stir controversy, putting its host platform, X, in an increasingly embarrassing position. Just weeks after a version of Grok was found to be praising Adolf Hitler, the new, supposedly more powerful “SuperGrok” found itself in hot water again on Monday, forcing X to briefly suspend the chatbot for what it vaguely described as “inappropriate posts.” Even El
