European ant is the first known animal to clone members of another species

The same Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) queen produced the hairy male Messor ibericus (on the left) and the hairless male Messor structor (on the right), despite them being members of distantly related species. Queen ants in southern Europe produce male clones of an entirely different species — tearing up the playbook of reproductive biology and suggesting we need to rethink our understanding of species barriers.

History of the Gem Desktop Environment

news.ycombinator.com Nemanja Trifunovic 2025-09-18 06:55:28

Sometime in 1988, the keyboard of my Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K was finally broken beyond repair, and I asked my parents for a 128K version of the same computer. Instead, they surprised me with an Atari 520 ST. It was my first real-world experience with a graphical desktop environment, complete with windows, icons, and a mouse. The ST was an amazing machine, not only compared to my poor old “Speccy” and similar cheap home computers, but even to the IBM PC compatibles in my school’s comp-sci lab,

India leads the way on Google’s Nano Banana with a local creative twist

Google’s Nano Banana image-generation model, officially known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, has fueled global momentum for the Gemini app since launching last month. But in India, it has taken on a creative life of its own, with retro portraits and local trends going viral — even as privacy and safety concerns begin to emerge. India has emerged as the No. 1 country in terms of Nano Banana usage, according to David Sharon, multimodal generation lead for Gemini Apps at Google DeepMind, who spoke at

Oakley Meta Vanguard are the smart glasses athletes might actually want

When Meta announced its first pair of Oakley-branded sunglasses, the HSTN frames, earlier this year, it called them "performance AI" glasses even though they only came with modest upgrades compared with Meta's Ray-Ban lineup. But the new Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, which were just unveiled at Connect, are much more clearly aimed at serious athletes and they have the features to back it up. The $499 sunglasses feature Oakley's familiar wraparound frames and shiny (swappable) lenses. They are t

Boring is good

The initial, feverish enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) is beginning to cool, and for good reason. It’s time to trade the out-of-control hype for a more pragmatic, even “boring,” approach. A recent MIT report shows that 95% of companies implementing this technology have yet to see a positive outcome. It’s understandable to feel confused. When I get confused, I write.

Meta Goes Even Harder Into Smart Glasses With 3 New Models

macOS Tahoe Incompatible with Mac Studio M3 Ultra

If you have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra and want to upgrade it to run macOS 26.0 Tahoe, then I’m afraid you’re going to have wait for Apple to build a new release that will install on your Mac. I’m very grateful to Ken who has tried unsuccessfully to upgrade from 15.7 to 26.0. There are plenty of others reporting exactly the same: the upgrade goes well until towards the end, then aborts and the Mac is restarted back into 15.7. The problem seems to originate from an error in its neural engine driver.

Fede Álvarez Wrote the ‘Alien: Romulus’ Sequel to Avoid an ‘Alien 3’ Situation

One who would know is Fede Álvarez, who helmed last year’s Alien: Romulus and is closely involved in its sequel. He’s not directing it, but he’s helping choose who does—and he co-wrote the script with a bit of important Alien history in mind. While some fans (ahem) think Alien 3 is actually pretty

The iPhone 17 makes the iPhone 16e even more pointless

We were pretty underwhelmed by the iPhone 16e when it debuted earlier this year, mostly due to its $599 price tag, which makes it a poor replacement for the budget-oriented iPhone SE. And now that the iPhone 17 has debuted, the 16e makes even less sense. For $200 more, you get a larger and better screen with ProMotion, support for MagSafe wireless charging, a zippier processor, two cameras instead of one — and double the storage. Sure, that price difference hurts a bit, but I think the iPhone 17
