Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand Review: Grow Your Own

wired.com Kat Merck 2025-07-20 21:00:00

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts. “Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame.

Delta moves to eliminate set prices, use AI to set your personal ticket price

news.ycombinator.com Irina Ivanova 2025-07-22 13:16:54

Fresh off a victory lap after a better-than-expected earnings report, Delta Air Lines is leaning into AI as a way to boost its profit margins further by maximizing what individual passengers pay for fares. By the end of the year, Delta plans for 20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI, president Glen Hauenstein told investors last week. Currently, about 3% of the airline’s flight prices are AI-determined, triple the portion from nine months ago. Over time, the goal is t

Seems a little steep, but sure. Fyre Festival, the doomed-from-the-start music festival that never was, is one of the most notorious failures of the internet era. And now it can be yours! Well, it could have been if you got in on the eBay auction that sold off the rights to the Fyre Festival brand in Billy McFarland’s latest bid to pay back the $26 million in restitution that he still owes to the people he defrauded.

Remember That Asteroid NASA Deflected in a Test of Saving Earth? We Have Bad News

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-01 08:57:01

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for Earth. The small spacecraft smashed into asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos at a violent 14,000 mph, knocking it severely off course. But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa

The Download: India’s AI independence, and predicting future epidemics

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-12 21:10:00

Despite its status as a global tech hub, India lags far behind the likes of the US and China when it comes to homegrown AI. That gap has opened largely because India has chronically underinvested in R&D, institutions, and invention. Meanwhile, since no one native language is spoken by the majority of the population, training language models is far more complicated than it is elsewhere. So when the open-source foundation model DeepSeek-R1 suddenly outperformed many global peers, it struck a

Blumhouse Thinks It May Have Overestimated M3GAN’s Versatility

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-16 01:15:16

After the smash success of 2022’s M3GAN, it was easy to assume the inevitable sequel would do the same. But M3GAN 2.0 has yet to catch on like its predecessor, so far yielding disappointing box-office returns and putting talk of a trilogy, not to mention a M3GAN cinematic universe beyond next year’s sexbot spin-off, SOULM8TE, in doubt. In a new interview, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum shared his thoughts on the disappointing situation. On The Town podcast (via the Wrap), Blum ticked off the reasons

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice.
