Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears

Stock market volatility was largely prompted by a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which claimed that 95pc of companies were getting “zero return” on their AI investments. A Meta spokesman sought to downplay the freeze, saying: “All that’s happening here is some basic organisational planning: creating a solid structure for our new superintelligence efforts after bringing people on board and undertaking yearly budgeting and planning exercises.” It comes after the company h

Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit

Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit 2025-02-23 For my day job, I need to build and run a Docker Compose project. However, because Docker doesn’t play well with nftables and I prefer a rootless + daemonless approach, I’m using Podman. Podman supports Docker Compose projects with two possible solutions: either by connecting the official Docker Compose CLI to a Podman socket, either by using their own drop-in replacement. They ship a small wrapper to select one of these options. (The wrapper has t

SpaceX has built the machine to build the machine. But what about the machine?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-18 16:30:20

STARBASE, Texas—I first visited SpaceX's launch site in South Texas a decade ago. Driving down the pocked and barren two-lane road to its sandy terminus, I found only rolling dunes, a large mound of dirt, and a few satellite dishes that talked to Dragon spacecraft as they flew overhead. A few years later, in mid-2019, the company had moved some of that dirt and built a small launch pad. A handful of SpaceX engineers working there at the time shared some office space nearby in a tech hub buildin

Google finally lets you customize icon shapes on your Pixel’s home screen

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR You can now customize icon shapes on your Pixel Launcher’s home screen. Android will give you five options. Including the default circle, there’s square, four-sided cookie, seven-sided cookie, and arch. These options are currently only available in the August 2025 Android Canary release, but we expect it won’t be long before they make their way into the QPR2 track. Hot off the heels of the Pixel 10 launch, Google unveiled a new Android Canary release.

In an update earlier today, the 2024 iPad App of the Year, Moises, released an impressive feature called AI Studio. It takes a recording of a single instrument and generates other instruments that match the original beat and style. Here’s how it works. Moises is hands-down one of the most impressive AI music apps in recent years Last year, Apple chose the musical app Moises as iPad App of the Year, and with good reason.

Understanding Moravec's Paradox

news.ycombinator.com Morgan Howells 2025-11-15 05:36:51

Understanding Moravec's Paradox Morevec's paradox is a little weird in a few ways. First it's not a paradox, and second it's widely miss-interpreted. At its core, Moravec's paradox is the observation that reasoning takes much less computation compared to sensorimotor and perception tasks. It's often (incorrectly) described as tasks that are easy for humans are difficult for machines and visa versa. The answer from the human's side is relatively simple to explain.

John Cena Digs Into Peacemaker’s Big ‘Suicide Squad’ Kill

Season two of Peacemaker will finally have Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) coming in hot for Chris Smith (John Cena) to exact revenge over the death of his son. Killing his squad leader, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was a moment that made Peacemaker irredeemable before being hilariously unpacked in season one of the HBO Max show, which centered the antihero’s mistake as something that broke him—that and the bullet Bloodsport (Idris Elba) put through his neck.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro series introduces a new “sensitive eyes” setting that doubles its display PWM rate to 480Hz. The option is limited to the Pro models, with partial support on the Pro Fold, and none on the base Pixel 10. This is Google’s first significant step toward helping flicker-sensitive users, but it could go further.

The Qi2 wireless charging spec was originally announced back in early 2023. However, Android phone makers haven’t exactly been rushing to add Qi2 support to their latest devices since then. That’s made finding a compatible handset rather difficult, which is a bummer for anyone who has seen the wealth of accessories and power banks that iPhone owners have had access to for several generations.

However, it said that's an intentionally conservative estimate, so this probably isn't a huge concern. The postponement follows previous ones in March and July. (The last time was due to tariffs.)
