The Age of Bronze and Steel

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 00:18:24

The age of bronze and steel Here's a story I heard last night about 3D printing. (I'm not in the 3D-printing scene. I know people who are, though. And it's an interesting story, what the hell. If I can blog about dirty sea shanties, I can blog about the additive manufacturing industry.) A couple of months ago I retwooted this message about the end of a particular 3D-printed-metal process: Binder jetted steel with bronze infiltration is no more: the last source has discontinued the technology

‘Gags the Clown’ Leans Into an Urban Legend That Maybe Wasn’t a Legend

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-20 02:42:29

It’s been nearly a decade since an outbreak of clown sightings frightened people, first in the U.S. and then later across the globe. A clown in the right context isn’t necessarily scary, but a random clown just appearing with no obvious purpose is horror movie material. And, in fact, some of the creepy clown epidemic of 2016 can be traced back to Gags the Clown, a found-footage indie that turned some clever grassroots marketing into a stunt that went viral.

Orcas are called “killer whales” (even though they’re technically dolphins) for good reason. They’re the ocean’s top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren’t born killers.
