Iconic NASA Probe That Visited Pluto Could Go Dark Thanks to Trump Cuts

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-07-26 10:05:58

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, revealing unprecedented close-up views of the complex icy world. The iconic mission is still returning data from the far reaches of the solar system, but a lack of funding now threatens to end the mission prematurely. As NASA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the historic Pluto flyby, the space agency is also bracing for budget cuts that threaten the historic New Horizons probe.

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

Brit politicians question Fujitsu's continued role in public sector contracts

news.ycombinator.com Lindsay Clark 2025-08-27 21:12:46

British MPs and peers are questioning the government's decision to continue accepting bids for large-scale IT contracts from Fujitsu, despite the Japanese supplier's previous pledge to stop bidding. Following the widespread publicity around the Post Office Horizon scandal in January 2024, Fujitsu, which supplied the faulty computer system, volunteered to stop bidding for UK public sector contracts until the public inquiry had completed. At the time, the Japanese computer giant was in the proce

Q-learning is not yet scalable

news.ycombinator.com Seohong Park 2025-09-13 00:56:54

Does RL scale? Over the past few years, we've seen that next-token prediction scales, denoising diffusion scales, contrastive learning scales, and so on, all the way to the point where we can train models with billions of parameters with a scalable objective that can eat up as much data as we can throw at it. Then, what about reinforcement learning (RL)? Does RL also scale like all the other objectives? Apparently, it does. In 2016, RL achieved superhuman-level performance in games like Go and C

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-16 10:00:03

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office. But both Sunshine and Event Horizon have since e
