wired.com Dell Cameron 2025-09-18 23:18:10

Police arrested more than a dozen New York state and city elected officials Thursday at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan immigration court and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, many as they pressed to gain access to the building’s 10th-floor lockup, where recent court rulings—including a temporary restraining order—directed ICE not to cram immigrants into overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. The lawmakers and other officials, arrested around 3:45 pm local time, say they w

I’ve Spent Thousands of Hours Testing the Best 3D Printers. There Are Some Clear Winners

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 14:23:00

What I like: I rarely find a product that impresses me, but the A1 Combo from Bambu Lab left me genuinely amazed with its performance and value. This 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Plus, its four-color printing capability for less than $700 is such a good deal; I'm still baffled by how the company pulls off that pricing. The CNET test print from the Bambu Lab A1 is nearly perfect.

You can’t have the last name “Romero” and release a zombie movie that flies under the radar—which is why it’s so delightful that Tina Romero, daughter of late zombie movie legend George A. Romero, is making her feature directorial debut with the glittery, flashy, gory, proudly queer, and over-the-top-looking Queens of the Dead. The first trailer is here, and it does not disappoint. There’s still a George A. Romero-adjacent zombie movie in the works, titled Twilight of the Dead—last we heard, Mi

For the first time, scientists have uncovered a large amber deposit in South America containing fossilized insects and other preserved creatures. The small, half-transparent fossils hold a rich assortment of ancient bugs—and a slice of life from little-known ecosystems from over 100 million years ago. A Communications & Earth Environment study published today details amber samples from Ecuador’s Genoveva quarry—the first discovery in South America to yield fossilized insects and other life form

I Went Inside Apple's Labs to See How Apple Watch Connectivity Is Tested

Stepping into the padded vault felt like entering some kind of portal. The sterile white room was lined with jagged, pyramid-shaped foam spires; a cross between a recording studio and some kind of icicle torture chamber straight out of Elsa's castle from the movie Frozen. I glanced down at my phone: no bars. Deep inside Apple's testing labs, I was officially off the grid.

Ambrosia Sky is an essay on death masquerading as a sci-fi cleaning sim

Dalia is a death cleaner.

It’s a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia’s version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks.

Tesla exec says the company will redesign door handles that reportedly pose safety risks

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-21 11:55:00

Yesterday, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla following a report by Bloomberg that its electric door handles could stop working when a vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. That created a safety hazard that the publication found could trap passengers when a Tesla car was in an emergency situation, such as a crash. Now, Bloomberg is back with the news that Tesla plans to redesign those problematic handles. Tesla design head Franz von Holzhause

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-09-23 20:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs
