Google says it dropped the energy cost of AI queries by 33x in one year

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-12 23:53:12

So far this year, electricity use in the US is up nearly 4 percent compared to the same period the year prior. That comes after decades of essentially flat use, a change that has been associated with a rapid expansion of data centers. And a lot of those data centers are being built to serve the boom in AI usage. Given that some of this rising demand is being met by increased coal use (as of May, coal's share of generation is up about 20 percent compared to the year prior), the environmental impa

Away from Gmail, Leaving Gmail for Mailbox.org

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-13 04:41:48

This was a tough decision, having used Gmail since 2007/2008. However, I had to draw the line and stop giving Google my data for free. The problem with email is that everything is transmitted in plain text. Technically, Google can store every message you receive and know everything, and U.S. agencies can request access to that data (this include also EU citizens under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks). For someone like me, who cares about privacy and runs as much as possible

Are EV Charging Stations Bad for Your Health?

Charging up your EV today? Don’t stand too close to it. The air around electric vehicle chargers fast charging cars had twice the level of dangerous fine particles than regular urban air, a new study found. Researchers from UCLA measured 50 chargers across the Los Angeles metropolitan area, most of them Tesla Superchargers, and found that they had levels of fine particulate matter between 15 to 20 micrograms per cubic meter. That’s far higher than the average the typical urban background in L

Social media giant TikTok made a major symbolic move today by canning hundreds of UK and Asian moderators as it attempts to integrate artificial intelligence into more processes throughout the company. The Chinese tech giant said that workers displaced in the move will have priority in hiring if they meet unspecified criteria.

Mainstream Publications Are Getting Suckered by a Ridiculous Fake News Story About a "Pregnancy Robot"

From in vitro fertilization to designer babies, the world of reproductive science has seen advances over the years that have profoundly changed the way humans conceive and give birth. Unfortunately, artificial human wombs are not yet among those breakthroughs that have made the jump from concept to real life. But that hasn't stopped a number of news sites from running with a bonkers story about plans to build a humanoid "pregnancy robot" that carries real human fetuses to term in a synthetic wo

If I were starting again with Apple kit, I’d own less of it

My colleague Michael Burkhardt posed an interesting question earlier in the week: if you had to start again with your Apple kit, what would you buy? There’s already one Apple product category I no longer use, and a second one I use only on a technicality … I no longer wear an Apple Watch Despite not initially seeing the appeal, I did end up wearing one for nine years.

The warning signs the AI bubble is about to burst

“When will the internet bubble burst?” the cover story of Barron’s asked on March 20 2000. “That unpleasant popping sound is likely to be heard before the end of this year.” In fact, that same day, one of the most high-profile tech businesses of the moment suffered a share price plunge of 60pc. A flood of other collapses followed, evaporating trillions of dollars. Now, some on Wall Street fear that “unpleasant popping sound” may be imminent for the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

Elon Musk’s New Software Company Is the Opposite of Microsoft

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-13 09:16:00

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest gooner, has a new software company. And in typical Musk fashion, he’s given it a name that only a teenager stuck in a 54-year-old’s body would truly appreciate. The name is Macrohard, a play off the name Microsoft, and Musk knows it’s an immature joke about penises. But that kind of humor has never stopped him from raising billions of dollars before. “Join @xAI and help build a purely AI software company called Macrohard,” the billionaire tweeted Friday. “It’s

OpenAI Chairman Says AI Is Destroying His Sense of Who He Is

For being poised to become the richest startup in history, OpenAI's architects seem strikingly ambivalent about its work.
