Why Do Swallows Fly to the Korean DMZ?

news.ycombinator.com Emily Sekine 2026-02-13 10:33:44

Since 1953, the 250-kilometer-long artificial boundary of the DMZ has cut through the middle of the Korean peninsula. The demilitarized buffer zone created more than seven decades ago between the two warring states often feels impenetrable and permanent. However, the DMZ is livelier and more fluid than it seems. In fact, much of the DMZ crosses water—oceans, estuaries, and rivers. A quarter of this boundary falls upon the Han River estuary (한강하구), a “neutral” zone according to the Korean Armisti

What Happens to Your Brain When You Use ChatGPT? Scientists Took a Look

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-17 15:02:47

Your brain works differently when you're using generative AI to complete a task than it does when you use your brain alone. Namely, you're less likely to remember what you did. That's the somewhat obvious-sounding conclusion of an MIT study that looked at how people think when they write an essay -- one of the earliest scientific studies of how using gen AI affects us. The study, a preprint that has not yet been peer-reviewed, is pretty small (54 participants) and preliminary, but it points tow

How the Quick Turnaround of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Became a Good Thing

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-18 00:00:29

Writing, development, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, visual effects, scoring, sound, and more. The process of making a movie, especially a big, expensive movie, is a long one. According to director Gareth Edwards, who has made his share of big movies like Rogue One and Godzilla, normally it would take two and a half years from when he, the director, would be hired until the film is released in theaters. But, when it comes to Jurassic World Rebirth, the process was anything but normal

How a beer-making process is used to make cleaner disposable diapers

Disposable diapers are a massive environmental offender. Roughly 300,000 of them are sent to landfills or incinerated every minute, according to the World Economic Forum, and they take hundreds of years to decompose. It's a $60 billion business. One alternative approach has been compostable diapers, which can be made out of wood pulp or bamboo. But composting services aren't universally available and some of the products are less absorbent than normal nappies, critics say. A growing number of

After months of debate, a plan in Congress to block states from regulating artificial intelligence was pulled from the big federal budget bill this week.
