As White House talks about impounding NASA funding, Congress takes the threat seriously

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-21 14:54:25

This has been a good week for the US space agency in terms of the federal budget. On Tuesday, a committee in the US House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion budget bill for the coming fiscal year. Then, two days later a Senate committee passed a $24.9 billion budget for NASA. Both of these measures would keep funding more or less at the level of the current fiscal year and, for the most part, keep the space agency's programs going on their current trajectories. These bills are not final

Netflix admitted during its earnings call on Thursday that it used generative AI to create VFX in The Eternaut, a Netflix original from Argentina that was released in April 2025. The company's co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that generative AI was specifically used for a VFX shot in the post-apocalyptic drama, but the move is one of several ways Netflix is embracing AI. According to Sarandos, the creators of The Eternaut wanted to include a shot of building collapsing in Buenos Aires, and rather than

Making a StringBuffer in C, and questioning my sanity

I've been writing a lot of C. Whilst doing so I have been questioning my sanity. Am I an awful programmer? You know what, I think I might be. Kudos to all those devs that created monumental feats with C. Because it is not an easy tool to use. That said, I do enjoy writing C, just as long as I don't have a deadline or any business critical software to deliver. But when I say enjoy, I mean enjoyment in the sense of using a sycthe to cut a lawn, whilst my lawnmower watches on. It's lovely using th
