American military service members deserve the right to repair

news.ycombinator.com Lt. Col. Cindy Serrano Roberts 2025-11-27 20:21:53

“The generator is down, and we don’t have enough ice to continue icing the remains of soldiers killed in action. How much longer, ma’am?” That’s the message I received while deployed to Balad, Iraq, as an Air Force second lieutenant. I was overseeing generators in theater, and the one powering the mortuary facility had failed. The clock was ticking. I didn’t have HVAC expertise or the necessary parts. The only viable backup generator was on the other side of the country. I had two choices: ini

Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-27 18:46:17

In the olden days, publishing a site on the Internet required that you figure out hosting and have at least some experience with HTML, CSS, and the other languages that make the Internet work. But the emergence of blogging and "Web 2.0" sites in the late '90s and early 2000s gave rise to a constellation of services that would offer to host all of your thoughts without requiring you to build the website part of your website.

Google's AI Flies Into Rage at the Word "Clanker"

When it's not spitting out phony game tips, suggesting you put glue on pizza, or trash-talking itself and its creator, Google's shoddy AI Overview feature has, apparently, taken up the mantle against AI and robot discrimination. As flagged by a user on the r/Artificial subreddit, searching the term "clanker" on Google causes the AI Overview to go into full defensive overdrive, blaming human anxiety surrounding technology for the creation and proliferation of such a "derogatory and potentially p

Mosh (Mobile Shell)

news.ycombinator.com Keith Winstein 2025-11-27 23:59:14

Remote-shell protocols traditionally work by conveying a byte-stream from the server to the client, to be interpreted by the client's terminal. (This includes TELNET, RLOGIN, and SSH.) Mosh works differently and at a different layer. With Mosh, the server and client both maintain a snapshot of the current screen state. The problem becomes one of state-synchronization: getting the client to the most recent server-side screen as efficiently as possible. This is accomplished using a new protocol c

Early blogging service Typepad is shutting down for good

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-28 10:00:33

Typepad, a blogging service that launched in the same year as WordPress, has announced that it's shutting down on September 30. "We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad," its team said in a post. Several major publications used it as a backend for their websites in its early years, and it even released an app in 2008, but it soon fell behind WordPress in popularity. The service stopped accepting new signups sometime in 2020 but continued supporting its old customers. One user

How Marvel’s Huge Budget for ‘Eternals’ Actually Worked Against It

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-29 15:04:07

Chloé Zhao is currently promoting her follow-up to Marvel Studios’ Eternals, an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel Hamnet. The 2020 book is based on William Shakespeare and his wife as they grieve the loss of one of their children, which would go on to inspire Hamlet. It makes sense that after making a movie where the Academy Award-winning director’s voice felt pulled in many directions, a more intimate movie would be her next choice. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Zhao talked about how

Trump Accuses Other Countries of Making Silicon Valley the ‘Piggy Bank’ of the World

Tariff-obsessed President Donald Trump is threatening to slap even more tariffs and restrictions on chip exports against countries that implement a digital services tax. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said on Monday that these taxes are “designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology” while giving a “complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies.” A digital services tax is a tax on the revenues that large companies, like Google or Meta, earn from providing digital services.
