The Sixties Come Back to Life in "Everything Is Now"

news.ycombinator.com Richard Brody 2026-03-20 06:15:51

The film critic and cultural historian J. Hoberman’s new book, “Everything Is Now: The 1960s New York Avant-Garde—Primal Happenings, Underground Movies, Radical Pop,” is as jubilantly overstuffed as its subtitle. The book is a startlingly slow read—and I say that with unbridled enthusiasm. I can’t remember the last book I’ve read that contained so much information so tightly packed, or in which the distillation of vast research offered such relentless ricochets of association, connection, and al

There’s nothing more frustrating than dealing with poor Wi-Fi at home. Slow speeds, dropped connections and dead zones can turn everyday activities (streaming, gaming, video calls, and more) into a real challenge. If you’re looking for a turbocharged connection that keeps up with your needs, it’s time to consider upgrading your home network. Although your internet service provider (ISP) router typically is subpar, buying a good-quality router can be well worth it. Today, the TP-Link WiFi 7 rout

Amazon Prime Video Now Comes With Double the Ads!

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-03-23 20:40:25

It wasn’t that long ago that an ad-free experience was the default for streaming services. But companies need to make sure the line keeps going up, and one way to do that is to monetize the audience by serving them ads. Amazon introduced ads to its Prime Video streaming service last year, with the promise that it would be light and unintrusive. Well, time to juice those profits, because Adweek reports that Amazon will double the number of ads that it serves per hour to its viewers. Look at this

Inexpensive AI Agents Threaten Entry-Level Coding Jobs

In 2007, Luke Arrigoni, an AI entrepreneur, earned $63,000 at his first job as a junior software developer. Today, he says AI tools that write better code than he did back then cost just $120 annually. The numbers don’t sit right with him. Arrigoni, who runs Loti AI, a company that helps Hollywood stars find unauthorized deepfakes, worries that underpriced AI tools encourage companies to eliminate entry-level roles.

Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV

24 Gifts for Dads Who Don’t Need Anything (2025)

wired.com Martin Cizmar 2026-03-23 20:31:00

your Dad doesn't need a gift for Father's Day. Ask any dad in your life, and he'll tell you the same. However, you should gift him something anyway. I am not only a dad and a gear reviewer, but also someone with a specific philosophy about what makes a good gift for middle-aged men like me. The best gifts for a dad are things that not only are relevant to his interests but also can be fairly described as “overkill.” Dads tend to like things that are useful but overbuilt.

Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft — and people are paying anyway

A central premise of robotaxis is that high usage and lower labor costs will ultimately make it a cheap transportation option. That is still far from true, but now there’s some data that gives us an idea of by how much.

When Daniel Saks was working as a co-CEO of the previous startup he co-founded, AppDirect, billionaire Michael Dell sent him a LinkedIn message asking for a meeting. Dell famously likes to cold-contact founders of startups he finds interesting. “I thought it was fake,” Saks tells TechCrunch.

These new batteries are finding a niche

One researcher I spoke with at the time suggested that sodium-ion batteries might not compete directly with lithium-ion batteries but could instead find specialized uses where the chemistry made sense. Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.
