Getting your hands on Nintendo's latest console just got easier, as Amazon is now listing the Nintendo Switch 2 for sale outright, no invitation needed. It's been three months since the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, and the launch day frenzy is just starting to taper off. The handhelds have been selling at a blistering pace, with just under 6 million units sold in the first four weeks. Online inventories in those initial weeks sold out in a flash, and sparse restocks were gone just as quick

Time Spent on Hardening

Time Spent on Hardening I recently received mail from someone working on a software-based approach to fault tolerance. Their tool makes applications more reliable, but they think it also makes developers more productive by reducing the amount of error detection and handling code they need write. They have never been able to find research that quantifies how much time developers spend on code for detecting and handling problems relative to the effort for the “happy path”. they know it’s substan

Microsoft Is Torpedoing Xbox With Yet Another Price Hike

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-21 01:54:04

Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles… again. The previous price hike shifted expectations for both the Xbox Series S and Series X. The new pricing structure demands so much money from consumer wallets it seems nobody in their right mind would buy an Xbox in this day and age. The new pricing structure begins Oct. 3. In a post to its support page, Microsoft blamed today’s “macroeconomic environment,” which is a longer way to say “Trump tariffs.” All consoles are demanding at least $50 mor

Despite congressional threat, National Academies releases new climate report

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its earlier work, one of those focused on the science: The EPA's original decision was over 15 years old, and it claimed our understanding of climate change had itself changed since then.

Court lets NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in research grants

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard.

Trump’s Golden Dome will cost 10 to 100 times more than the Manhattan Project

One thing that's evident about President Donald Trump's proposal for the Golden Dome missile defense shield is that designing, deploying, and sustaining it will cost a lot of money, at least several hundred billion dollars, over the course of several decades. Beyond that, it's really anyone's guess. That doesn't sit well with some lawmakers, but the Republican-controlled Congress committed $25 billion in July as a down payment for new missile-defense technologies. The White House stated in May

AI tools are making the world look weird

In academia and the media, AI is often described as mirroring human psychology with humanlike reasoning, human-level performance, human-like communication. In these comparisons, “humans” are treated as the benchmark. In a provocative 2023 paper, researchers at Harvard University asked – which humans? The diversity of human psychologies has been a hot topic since 2010, when researchers found that many accepted psychological “truths” were often confined to so-called “WEIRD people”: Western, Educ
