Optimizing our way through Metroid

news.ycombinator.com Will Wilson 2025-10-31 23:42:01

Will Wilson CEO Optimizing our way through Metroid Games People ask me: “why do you let your employees spend so much time playing Nintendo games?” People think we do it for the marketing. People think we do it to have cool demos. People think our blog series on learning autonomous testing concepts via how they come up in games is a pedagogical gimmick and nothing more. People are totally wrong. The honest truth, the underlying reality beneath the hype, is that this is actually how we figured

You can't grow cool-climate plants in hot climates

news.ycombinator.com Joey Santore 2025-10-30 04:38:00

Since moving to Deep South Texas 4 years ago I've come to realize that many plants I used to love growing in the cool mild maritime climate of the SF bay area are impossible to grow where I live. This is not just because of the high daytime heat. It's not as simple as that. Specifically, it is the high heat during the night (and those warm nights are a direct result of the humidity) that causes cool-climate and cool-season plants to eventually die here. That's a bummer for somebody who loves pla

New Study Fuels Debate Over World-Changing Comet Strike 12,800 Years Ago

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-14 02:10:34

Roughly 12,800 years ago, as Earth was emerging from its last great ice age, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly plummeted back to near-glacial conditions. The cause of this abrupt shift—known as the Younger Dryas cool period—remains a mystery to this day, but new evidence may give credence to its most controversial explanation. Researchers analyzed sediment cores extracted from the seafloor of Baffin Bay near Greenland, finding indicators of a cosmic impact event inside the layer

A bionic knee integrated into tissue can restore natural movement

news.ycombinator.com Anne Trafton 2026-01-11 20:08:16

“A prosthesis that's tissue-integrated — anchored to the bone and directly controlled by the nervous system — is not merely a lifeless, separate device, but rather a system that is carefully integrated into human physiology, offering a greater level of prosthetic embodiment. It’s not simply a tool that the human employs, but rather an integral part of self,” says Hugh Herr, a professor of media arts and sciences, co-director of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT, an associate member of M

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-04 16:12:01

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst I recently submitted my PhD thesis, and while waiting for the physical copies to get printed I thought I'd write about something you (hopefully) wouldn't notice when reading it. I wrote it in Typst, not LaTeX. In this post I will talk a bit about what went well and what didn't. Typst (https://typst.app/) is a modern take on a typesetting language that I think has a real shot at dethroning LaTeX. I would describe the language as a mix of markdown and dynamically t

How the Alzheimer's Research Scandal Set Back Treatment 16 Years (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-16 11:53:13

In 2006, a landmark study in Nature identified a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease. For almost 16 years, this study influenced how scientists approached Alzheimer’s and how major research grants were given. But in the summer of 2022, the editors of Nature issued a chilling disclaimer. There was concern regarding the images that accompanied the article. An investigation was underway, and readers were urged to “use caution” when relying on the results. A whistleblower had come forward and sa
