Mortgage Rate Predictions: Is This Week the Calm Before the Storm?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-06 17:59:00

Tharon Green/CNET Though the housing market is never immune to political and economic volatility, mortgage rates have been eerily calm. Over the last month, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has moved in a narrow range between 6.8% and 7%. An escalating war in the Middle East could spark fresh volatility across global markets, significantly affecting oil prices and the US dollar. That would have a ripple effect on long-term Treasury yields and mortgage rates. Mortgage rates had be

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines.

TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension. I had used TRAMP before and it tended to be slow. Since I would be using it all day now I figured I should take some time to make it faster.

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images
