Greetings all — Busy week in BITM land. Got home from some travel only to take off to SF to speak on a panel about AI and work for a CalMatters conference with state lawmakers and labor leaders, and made it back to LA in time for the 404 live event night, where I had the pleasure of bumping into a bunch of BITM readers. I met ambitious students examining the history of tech and labor in the entertainment industry, veteran tech policy campaigners, and some young critical journos. You all are the

Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-14 09:28:39

The diabetes drug Ozempic has demonstrated remarkable anti-aging effects in the first clinical trial to directly measure its impact on biological aging, with participants becoming an average of 3.1 years biologically younger after 32 weeks of treatment. The findings provide the strongest evidence yet that GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide may offer benefits far beyond their established roles in diabetes management and weight loss.

‘Bluey’ Hopes You Won’t Mind Not Having New Episodes With 4 New Short Series

Bluey is finally back with four new short-form series inspired by the world of the beloved Heeler family from the Ludo Studio show. But if you’ve been waiting for new minisodes or a new season, this is not it. The new release does offer new thematic, family-friendly filler to tide fans over, but it still seems like we’ll have to wait until at least the Bluey movie in 2026 for the adventure to truly continue.

Trump Administration Moves to Destroy Satellite That Monitors Greenhouse Gases

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-14 16:15:35

The Trump Administration’s budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026 would take an axe to NASA science. Two satellite missions on the chopping block have provided climate scientists, oil and gas companies, and farmers with critical atmospheric carbon data for years. The Orbiting Carbon Observatories are a pair of instruments that map atmospheric carbon on a global scale. NASA launched the OCO-2 in 2014 and mounted the OCO-3 on the International Space Station in 2019. Trump’s budget proposal threaten

We Should Reject the Switch 2’s Bogus Game-Key Cards or This Will Be the End of Physical Games

On Sunday, Nintendo propped up a survey for players to share a few thoughts about how they prefer to play games on the Switch 2. By Tuesday, Nintendo pulled the survey, but not before the poll went viral and offered gamers a new outlet to let loose about the lack of Switch 2 games you can buy that come entirely on physical game cards.

The existence of Star Trek: Phase II—the plans for a Star Trek continuation series in the mid-1970s that eventually gave way to Star Trek: The Motion Picture—has been known for a very long time at this point. We’ve seen concept art, we’ve seen story ideas, and we’ve seen it for long enough to see how those nuggets have gone on to influence the Star Trek that we would go on to get for another 50 years.

Growing up, the Naked Gun series was a staple in my household. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year.

TL;DR The new OpenAI model can now run directly on some devices with Snapdragon chips. It’s the first time an OpenAI reasoning model has been made available for on-device use. This could mean faster, more private AI features on your phone, just not yet.
