This headline is keeping me young because I keep reading it every five years or so.

Is Apple even able to build software that works these days? iOS has been decaying update after update, MacOS is not getting any better either.

Israel won't be satisfied until it secured a comfortable safe space that weirdly matches Greater Israel's borders.

Great video and I think the only way to truly grasp the complexity of EUV lithography as a layman.

Great, now scammers can steal my identity directly from the government. I hope they release a tool to check if I'm impacted or at least email me about it.

Probably the people involved getting paid hefty fees for the whole thing.

I'm currently looking for sort of niche clothes for an event and it's the first time I had to give up on buying online because of the sheer amount of AI-generated pictures. Going to a physical store was just a much better experience, I can't recall the last time this happened, almost all sellers on Etsy are using AI for their pictures.

Ah I was just trying to remember the model names last week and this website pops up like magic, weird how the internet works sometimes. The 560 Ti was a dream for teenage me and most of my friends back then, but I must say my Radeon HD 4870 game powered most of my favourite Team Fortress 2 years.

Keep on blaming the victims, as if you would have any say the day armed and organized militias would come into your neighborhood to do the same.

What about the whole colonialism, forced displacement, and daily humiliation the Palestinians have been enduring since 1948?

If someone came to your country and did that, how radical would you be?

There's a large amount of people flagging that specific topic and viewpoint, it's a regular thing on HN, I'm not surprised at all.

Look up "2025 Iberian Peninsula blackout", the whole of Spain and Portugal had no electricity for a whole day.

I live in Barcelona, and during last year’s blackout I wandered through the city. As I passed by the Baix Guinardó gardens, I came across something that felt like a "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" brought to life: the park was full of families socialising the old way, children running everywhere, the whole place buzzing with chatter and energy.

Later that day, walking home through darkened streets, I noticed small groups, maybe a dozen people at a time, gathered around certain spots. For some reason, a few closed shops still seemed to have working free Wi-Fi (backup generators, maybe), and people clustered there, drawn in like mosquitoes to light. Their faces glowed in the dark, lit only by their screens, and they stood in near-total silence. It’s hard to describe the feeling, it was surreal. You had to be there.

I’m no Luddite, but I went to sleep that night wondering how on earth we get ourselves out of this.

If you use AI to write a gambling software you run in production without reviewing the code or without a solid testing strategy to verify preferred odds, then I have a bridge to sell you.

I'm aware it has been posted before, but it has been relaxing me lately and might also help someone here.
