engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-31 23:20:54

According to a report from The Washington Post, DOGE is using an AI tool to analyze federal regulations and determine which to get rid of. A DOGE PowerPoint presentation obtained by the publication notes that its "AI Solution" — reportedly called the DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool — found that 100,000 out of over 200,000 regulations "can be deleted." The document sets a September 1 goal deadline for agencies to complete their own deregulation lists using the tool, which it says can be done i

APIs: Still Easy Targets in 2025 APIs are the backbone of modern applications - and one of the most exposed parts of an organization’s infrastructure. This makes them a prime target for attackers. One of the highest-profile examples was the Optus breach in 2022, where attackers stole millions of customer records through an unauthenticated API endpoint - costing the telecom company $140 million AUD in fallout.

The 1970s psychology experiment behind 'Star Wars' special effects (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Jason Stoughton 2026-01-02 23:36:28

Creating realistic simulations of neighborhoods using miniatures and computer-controlled cameras was the goal of an ambitious experiment designed by two NSF-funded researchers. What they didn't know was that their lab's research would influence how special effects are made in some of the most memorable movies and TV shows in history, from the first "Star Wars" movie to "The Mandalorian." With mouths agape, movie audiences for more than 40 years have watched a certain outgunned rebel spaceship's
