On Wednesday, AI security firm Irregular announced $80 million in new funding in a round led by Sequoia Capital and Redpoint Ventures, with participation from Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport.

Just for fun: animating a mosaic of 90s GIFs

Here’s how one of my favourites turned out (fittingly for a tech themed battle, it’s rendered entirely in-browser): (Fullscreen at gifs.alex.works) What you’re seeing is a Canvas animation of random old-school GIFs, pulled from the Internet Archive’s Ge

A New Island Has Popped Up in Alaska

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-19 17:50:04

Glaciers along the coastal plain of southeastern Alaska are rapidly retreating, spilling meltwater into expanding proglacial lakes. One such lake—fed by the receding Alsek Glacier—has grown so much that it transformed a small mountain into a new island. The Alsek Glacier once enveloped this rocky mound—known as Prow Knob—near its terminus. Over the past 40 years, both of the glacier’s arms have retreated more than 3 miles (5 kilometers), creating Alsek Lake. Landsat images captured in 1984 and
