Astronomers Just Found a Record-Breaking Space Explosion That Makes No Sense

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-03 07:05:45

If you’ve been following Gizmodo’s astrophysics coverage, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: Scientists study a cosmic phenomenon and start to get a handle on it—then something shows up that completely upends their understanding. The latest example? It’s explosive. Literally. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe. Generally, GRBs last from milliseconds to several minutes. Scientists believe they emerge when massive stars explode in supernovas or get ripped apa

I never imagined a watch like the Garmin Forerunner 970 when I started running

Garmin Forerunner 970 The Garmin Forerunner 970 is everything you want in a running watch, and almost everything you'd need from a smartwatch. Yes, you'll pay like you're buying one of each, but it's a top-end wearable that you'll almost never have to take off your wrist, and it's light enough that you can go all day forgetting that you're even wearing it. My running journey started with a Garmin Forerunner. It wasn’t my watch — it was my high school cross country coach’s — but it brought a loa

Roborock Says a Robot Vacuum With an Arm Will Cost Just a Few Hundred Dollars

Roborock was the first company to market to offer a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to help you sort items, with the Roborock Saros Z70 making a strong impression on us when we tested it. We liked its capabilities (despite some bugs) and it earned a spot on our list of best robot vacuums, with the caveat that the hefty $2,600 price tag put it out of reach for most people. In a recent interview with CNBC, Quan Gang, president of Roborock, suggested that robot vacuums with arms won’t stay this

If you've been hunting for a new GPU, you already know that getting one for its suggested retail price isn't guaranteed.

Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

U NTIL 1700 the world economy did not really grow—it just stagnated. Over the previous 17 centuries global output had expanded by 0.1% a year on average, a rate at which it takes nearly a millennium for production to double. Then spinning jennies started whirring and steam engines began to puff. Global growth quintupled to 0.5% a year between 1700 and 1820. By the end of the 19th century it had reached 1.9%. In the 20th century it averaged 2.8%, a rate at which production doubles every 25 years.
