After seeing the changes coming with iOS 26, we're ready to finally see Apple's newest collection of smartphones: the iPhone 17 lineup. While that's still more than a month away — assuming Apple sticks to its usual release schedule — we haven't been left completely in the dark about what the new phones will look like.

news.ycombinator.com Makena Kelly 2026-02-14 06:44:49

President Donald Trump’s administration has dramatically expanded its work with Palantir, elevating the company cofounded by Trump ally Peter Thiel as the government’s go-to software developer.

Noah Baumbach wanted to challenge audiences with Marriage Story, making them sit in the discomfort and tension of a relationship falling apart. He probably didn’t know that his audience was going to be wolves, though. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the famous fight scene between Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson from Baumbach’s award-winning drama is just one tool the United States Department of Agriculture has started to use in an effort to scare the growing wolf (and hung

Intel, Not AMD, Could Be the Secret to Kickass Next-Gen Handheld PCs

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-02-14 18:07:31

Intel is an empire past its prime and is beset on all sides. Just as Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides of Dune monologued on the many futures he perceived, there is “a narrow way through” for the beleaguered chipmaker. The way forward could be with a newfound gaming focus on its next-gen chips. Its desktop CPUs may be getting a gamer-centric upgrade, but the real surprise may be how it could win out in a market it has yet to truly compete in: handheld gaming.

The ‘Star Wars’ Slur That Has Been Mainstreamed by Anti-AI Discourse

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-02-14 18:30:52

“Clanker.” You’ve probably heard the term online a lot lately, as growing wariness of the acceptance of generative AI has led to an almost science-fictional world of anti-robot sentiment. It’s become an increasingly common derogatory term, growing beyond the constraints of referring to chatbots and image generators to refer to any kind of non-human robotic intelligence. It’s perhaps fitting then, as it penetrates increasingly mainstream social circles, that “Clanker” itself is rooted in science
