Is Data Modeling Dead?

Ok, not going to lie, I rarely find anything of value in the dregs of r/dataengineering, mostly I fear, because it’s %90 freshers with little to no experience. These green behind the ear know-it-all engineers who’ve never written a line of Perl, SSH’d into a server, and have no idea what a LAMP stack is. Weak. Sad.

wired.com Will Knight 2025-09-24 05:54:25

In an increasingly divided world, one thing that everyone seems to agree on is that artificial intelligence is a hugely disruptive—and sometimes downright destructive—phenomenon. At WIRED’s AI Power Summit in New York on Monday, leaders from the worlds of tech, politics, and the media came together to discuss how AI is transforming their intertwined worlds. The Summit included voices from the AI industry, a current US senator and a former Trump administration official, and publishers including

After a tenure of eight years, a Tesla engineer has quit the company — and directed a seething missive toward his boss, Elon Musk. "I do need to address the elephant in the room: the main reason I'm leaving is that I think Elon has dealt huge damage to Tesla's mission (and to the health of democratic institutions in several countries)," Giorgio Balestrieri, a staff algorithms engineer who joined in 2017, wrote in a scathing LinkedIn post last week.

More than 200 contractors who worked on evaluating and improving Google’s AI products have been laid off without warning in at least two rounds of layoffs last month. The move comes amid an ongoing fight over pay and working conditions, according to workers who spoke to WIRED.

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 12:35:12

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port.

These Climate Hacks to Save the Poles Could Totally Backfire

Last year, the United Nations predicted that Earth’s average temperature could rise more than 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) by 2100 if we don’t reduce global emissions. That level of warming would cause catastrophic, irreversible damage to ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need to slow the pace of climate change. Still, the amount of greenhouse gases humans pump into the atmosphere continues to rise. Without sufficient progress on the emissions front, some scientists have suggest

When players take the field at the start of the NFL season, many will be sporting the new, subtly different F7 Pro helmet, which some have speculated might be the safest one football has ever seen. That’s significant for a sport that, over the past two decades, has become as well known for concussions as end zone celebrations. Schutt Sports, which makes the F7 Pro, claims that 35 percent of active NFL athletes have already adopted the helmet. Football is a sport with a traditionalist bent, part

Unlike other sports, a change in possession in football requires a full replacement of every player on the field, giving broadcasters additional opportunities for ad breaks as players run off and on the field.
