The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago. Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of securities fraud, received a pardon from the US President Donald Trump in March, a month after the Phoenix-based electric and hydrogen truck maker Nikola filed for bankrupcy. The full and unconditional presidential pardon overturned a four-year prison sentence, imposed in December 2023, for

Internal emails reveal Ticketmaster helped scalpers jack up prices, FTC says

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 15:47:14

The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market. As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees."

Safepoints and Fil-C Safepointing is an underappreciated aspect of modern multithreaded VM/GC tech. It forms the foundation of Fil-C's accurate stack scanning, safe signal handling, and safe forking.

An untidy history of AI across four books

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 15:15:18

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality. More officially, AI research began in the postwar era with the “symbolic” paradigm, which sought to program human faculties such as logic, knowledge, ontology, and semantics within software architecture

‘AI Scheming’: OpenAI Digs Into Why Chatbots Will Intentionally Lie and Deceive Humans

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-21 15:20:16

At this point, most people know that chatbots are capable of hallucinating responses, making up sources, and spitting out misinformation. But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions. New research from OpenAI and Apollo Research seems to have figured out ways to tamp down some of these lies, but the fact that it is happening at all should probably give users pause.

This ‘Grue Jay’ Hybrid Looks Cool as Hell—but It’s a Warning Sign

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-21 15:55:08

Meet the “grue jay,” a rare offspring of a blue jay and a green jay—two common species whose evolutionary separation took place 7 million years ago. The resulting bird’s feathers are a muted, fashionable blue. But the marvelous discovery belies the fact that its existence may be the product of climate change’s threat to bird life. In a recent Ecology and Evolution paper, biologists at the University of Texas at Austin describe the odd jay in more detail, explaining how the blue and green jays’

And honestly, I can't wait to watch it again.
