NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

news.ycombinator.com James Felton 2026-03-06 21:24:05

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher

Meta is ruining WhatsApp with ads, but I still can’t leave it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-06 20:00:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority When WhatsApp was acquired by Meta (then Facebook) over a decade ago, people immediately began to fairly speculate that ads would eventually seep into what had, until then, been a refreshingly ad-free messaging experience. And yet, quite surprisingly, WhatsApp managed to stay mostly unspoiled, even though bits of Instagram and Facebook (like Stories and Communities) kept sneaking in. That sunny stretch is starting to fade at last. If you’ve been following th

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-07 02:30:03

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop.

Here’s Why Jony Ive and OpenAI Pulled All the Promos for Their AI Doohickey

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-07 02:15:30

Over the weekend, OpenAI removed all promo materials related to its $6.5 billion buddy-buddy partnership with Apple design legend Jony Ive and their still unannounced AI-centric device. This wasn’t a falling out between the two titans in tech, but rather the result of something altogether stranger. The nixed webpages and videos are due to a trademark lawsuit filed by a separate startup, iyO, which is seemingly miffed about the companies names being a single letter apart. On July 20, California

Your jump from Windows 10 to Linux gets easier with KDE Plasma 6.4

Hinge CEO Justin McLeod says dating AI chatbots is ‘playing with fire’

Today, I’m talking with Hinge founder and CEO Justin McLeod.

Since that penalty was announced, however, the company hasn’t announced any further changes to its App Store Guidelines to avoid further fines. A new report from the Financial Times today says that Apple is “locked in last-minute” negotiations with the European Commission about ways to ease its App Store anti-steering provisions.

Homotopy Equivalences

Previously: Fibrations and Cofibrations. In topology, we say that two shapes are the same if there is a homeomorphism– an invertible continuous map– between them. Continuity means that nothing is broken and nothing is glued together. This is how we can turn a coffe cup into a torus. A homeomorphism, however, won’t let us shrink a torus to a circle. So if we are only interested in how many holes the shapes have, we have to relax our notion of equivalence. Let’s go back to the definition of home
