A Queasy Selling of the Family Heirlooms

news.ycombinator.com Jeannette Cooperman Holds A Degree In Philosophy 2025-10-02 18:55:31

The gentleman is kindly, matter-of-fact. He is not scared of a dead mother’s lightning bolts. I stand on the other side of the glass cabinet, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, nervous as a thief at a pawn shop. Not because I stole this sterling and silverplate, but because I inherited it. As a sacred trust, glowing with aspirations to fineness. My Irish great-grandmother paid for her passage to America by working as a maid for a wealthy family, and she memorized their lace-curtain

Losing a baby to a stillbirth is arguably the most heartbreaking outcome an expecting mother can experience. But what would you do if that stillbirth kicked off a lengthy and protracted legal battle in which your most intimate details are spilled to the police, the courts, and social media? That's the horrifying conundrum facing Rebecca Smith, a 34 year old would-be surrogate mother who says her stillbirth almost killed her.

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 15:54:42

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

The “Godfather of AI” Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-14 12:58:19

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering mind behind AI industry-transforming neural networks, who's often referred to as a "godfather of AI," says we need to infuse AI with "maternal instincts" to save humanity from rogue AI. Though his work on neural networks helped to usher in the large language models (LLMs) that dominate Silicon Valley today, these days, Hinton is known for being somewhat of an AI alarmist: he believes that there's a significant chance that superintelligent AI will wipe out humanki

THIS ARTICLE IS republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. “I’m not sure if it was the effect of the atomic bomb, but I have always had a weak body, and when I was born, the doctor said I wouldn’t last more than three days.” These are the words of Kazumi Kuwahara, a third-generation hibakusha—a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan 80 years ago.

We did not visit Poland often. Only when someone died. I have not been able to bring part of my mother’s ashes to Poland yet because of the pandemic. They sit in my living room, waiting to join my other dead relatives in her village of Bedoń. I live in California, 3,000 miles away from where I grew up, and when my mother couldn’t sleep she’d call me. I always picked up. “I think I know how I got sick,” she said once.

Breakthrough cancer test predicts whether chemotherapy will work

news.ycombinator.com Sarah Knapton 2026-02-25 03:11:03

A breakthrough test can successfully predict whether chemotherapy will work so patients can avoid needless side effects. The test, developed by the University of Cambridge, looks at the structure of tumour DNA and forecasts whether it will resist treatment. It was piloted using data from 840 patients with different types of cancer and found that it could help spot whether treatment was likely to fail for ovarian, prostate and breast cancers.

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable

news.ycombinator.com Saloni Dattani 2026-03-12 07:12:42

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live. I’d wonder how a child might grasp the idea of limited time, or how painful it must have been to face the possibility of miss

The fully functional board accepts original PlayStation 1 chips and fits directly into the original console case, marking a milestone in reverse-engineering for the classic console released in 1994. Brodesco's motherboard isn't an emulator or FPGA-based re-creation—it's a genuine circuit

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better — or anything else for that matter — has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released.
