gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-15 13:10:20

An asteroid the size of a commercial airplane will skim past our planet on Wednesday, September 3. Asteroid 2025 QD8 has no chance of hitting Earth, but its brief proximity will allow scientists (and you!) a rare opportunity to observe a passing asteroid at very close range. The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 will host a livestream of the flyby starting at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 2. This astronomical program, overseen by the Bellatrix Astronomical Observatory in Italy, uses remotely c

The AI Industry Just Got Some Horrible News

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-15 21:48:50

For years now, big tech and its financial backers have been blowing past the warning signs that human-level AI — the theoretical technology with hundreds of billions of dollars riding on it — could turn out to be a pipe-dream, at best. Now, however, Wall Street appears to be yanking its money out of one of the largest datacenter providers in the game, possibly an early indicator that reality could be finally catching up to the massively hype-dependent AI industry. On Tuesday, datacenter and te

Where are vacation homes located in the US?

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-12-21 20:00:32

As of 2023, the US has around 142.3 million housing units: roughly one home for every 2.4 people in the country. The vast majority of these homes – 127.5 million – are occupied.

I’ve spent a lot of time writing about patterns of housing and home construction in the US, but virtually none of it has been looking at vacation homes sp

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2026-01-14 17:39:57

Bitcoin traded around $116,000 on Tuesday, falling back from a historic surge that briefly sent the world's largest cryptocurrency past $123,000 for the first time. Even with the pullback, the cryptocurrency is still trading at nearly twice its level from a year ago. Unlike previous cycles, the record run isn't being driven by retail mania or meme-stock energy. This move is being powered by structural demand, shifting macro positioning and a wave of Wall Street adoption that's playing out in r
