A Radiohead song from 1997 is on the Hot 100 charts, thanks to TikTok

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-10-31 20:13:41

Thanks to an unexpected surge in popularity on TikTok, Radiohead now has its fourth-ever song on the Billboard Hot 100: the morosely gorgeous track “Let Down” from the 1997 album “OK Computer.” “Let Down” never broke through to mainstream attention like Radiohead’s “Creep” or “Karma Police,” but it’s by no means a deep cut, like the Pavement B-side “Harness Your Hopes” that went viral due to a quirk in Spotify’s recommendation algorithm. This Radiohead song is a fan favorite from an album that’

Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity—and It’s a Glimpse Into the Future

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-01 00:05:02

Scientists believe saltwater could become a reliable source of renewable energy through a process known as osmosis. Japan has now taken a major step in that direction. Earlier this month, Japan officially launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, a large city to the west of Tokyo. That makes Japan the second country in the world to bet on osmotic power, after Denmark. Fukuoka’s plant is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to supply approxi

Elon Musk Just Suffered a Humiliating Defeat in China

So far, 2025 hasn't exactly been a year of resounding success for centibillionaire Elon Musk's AI efforts. The richest man on earth has struggled to get xAI's Grok off the ground, with setbacks taking the form of privacy scandals, misinformation controversies, not to mention a highly-public white supremacy episode. And now, more than a month after Musk promised to roll Grok out to Teslas "next week," it turns out a Chinese AI model will be taking the chatbot's place. According to Bloomberg, T

In the Matter of Lisa Cook

news.ycombinator.com Paul Krugman 2025-11-02 00:06:54

Yesterday Donald Trump said that he had fired Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My wording is advisable: He “said” that he had fired her. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems clear that he does not have the right to summarily fire Fed officials, certainly on tissue-thin allegations of mortgage fraud before she even went to the Fed. Cook has said that she will not resign. So at this point the immediate onus is on Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman. He has the right — I would

This Is the Best Oil to Use for Every Type of Cooking

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-02 23:00:00

Cooking oil can completely transform a dish, but using the wrong one can ruin it. While olive oil is a go-to for many home cooks, it isn't always the best choice. The reason? Its lower smoke point means it can burn at high temperatures, leaving food with an unpleasant, bitter taste. For frying, searing or any other high-heat cooking, reach for neutral oils like canola, avocado or grapeseed instead. They can withstand hotter temperatures and deliver a cleaner, crisper finish.
