This is quite the mixup. Bottlenecked The next time you need an energy boost, you might end up getting tipsy instead. In a recall notice that's both bizarre and unintentionally comical, the Food and Drug Administration is warning that some 12-packs of High Noon vodka seltzer may contain mislabeled cans of Celsius — a non-alcoholic energy drink that's popular everywhere these days, but perhaps particularly on Capitol Hill — which are, in a convoluted twist, actually full of High Noon, complete

We may not like what we become if A.I. solves loneliness

news.ycombinator.com Paul Bloom 2025-12-24 14:52:36

These days, everyone seems to have an opinion about A.I. companions. Last year, I found myself joining the debate, publishing a paper—co-written with two fellow psychology professors and a philosopher—called “In Praise of Empathic A.I.” Our argument was that, in certain ways, the latest crop of A.I.s might make for better company than many real people do, and that, rather than recoiling in horror, we ought to consider what A.I. companions could offer to those who are lonely.

Long before Ethiopian monks in the 9th century discovered that coffee tree fruit helped them stay awake during evening prayer (according to legend, anyway), communities in Southeast Asia have been chewing betel nuts—the seeds of the areca palm and a stimulant that heightens people’s alertness, energy, euphoria, and relaxation—since antiquity. But new research indicates that betel nut chewing has been practiced for even longer. By studying ancient dental plaque from Bronze Age individuals in Tha

7 ways Google could make a Pixel Flip the best flip phone foldable out there

I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle and an antenna to receive ADS-B messages. These are short packets of data, broadcast by every plane in the sky, to inform others of their position, heading, speed and other flight data. The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them.
