    Amoebas eat man alive over months in puzzling, ultra-rare cautionary tale

    A reminder of how fragile life is. So sad they missed the proper diagnosis earlier on.

    Errant upper stage spoils Blue Origin’s success in reusing New Glenn booster

    It is an unacceptable failure on big BO’s part. Something appears to be systematically wrong in the BO organization. Their pace is almost entrenched prime level slow, and given the stated reasons for that slow pace, we should expect near perfection whenever they do get around to launching...

    China tests an undersea cable cutter as suspected sabotage incidents grow

    Don’t worry, the Big Guy says he knows all about Chyna

    Florida surgeon charged with killing man after removing liver instead of spleen

    Oh this is frightening! How would an assistant not notice the wrong organ is being worked on? I’ve heard many surgeons have a god complex and are tyrants - I will bet this whack job fit that model well.

    The Moon is already on Google Maps—did Artemis II really tell us anything new?

    I agree. The Ars Technica mafia appears to not agree.

    The Moon is already on Google Maps—did Artemis II really tell us anything new?

    I have never bought the story line that we “forgot how to transport astronauts to and from the moon.” It’s such a stupid premise. For most of the last couple decades this has been a Senate re-election program. Now that commercial and peer nations are seriously talking about creating human...

    What the heck is wrong with our AI overlords?

    Scam Altman, a name that just so naturally sounds accurate

    “The problem is Sam Altman”: OpenAI Insiders don’t trust CEO

    Yeah, that board member needs to be given the boot. Sociopaths are notorious for “love bombing” to buy total allegiance to their nonsense. To declare the two traits are rare together indicates complete ineptitude.

    NASA is leading the way to the Moon, but the military won’t be far behind

    What is very difficult to track right now is surface activity on the far side of the moon. When China gets a Starship equivalent heavy cargo transport capability, you can bet they will focus on development of strategic capabilities on the far side, tunneling into crater walls to stay out of...

    NASA is leading the way to the Moon, but the military won’t be far behind

    One does not collaborate with China.

    Starlink satellite breaks apart into “tens of objects”; SpaceX confirms “anomaly”

    Oh don’t worry about that, the Elizabeth Holmes 2.0 outfit called Starcloud is going to beat Elon to it. They already have a full up data center in orbit ( a single H200). /s

    This is my third Orion launch, but it feels totally different

    Although I don’t share the same level of optimism as Eric does, this is an excellent article.

    After 16 years and $8 billion, the military’s new GPS software still doesn’t work

    Any DoD contractor run by finance types needs to be disqualified from future contracts. Same goes for contractors to NASA. Guaranteed fix to 80+% of these programs that are mismanaged starting at the bid. Most defense contractors started out as excellent enablers to real advancements driven by...

    Playing Wolfenstein 3D with one hand in 2026

    Loved this game when it first released. Played it on an 80386SX 16MHZ, 640x480 13” VGA monitor.

    Apple has finally discontinued the Mac Pro desktop after years of fitful effort

    At some price point the Apple aesthetic becomes not worth it or accessible to even the most brainwashed of the cult.

    Spotify lawsuit tries to kick Anna’s Archive off the web, without much success

    Seems pointless, unless you’re one of the lawyers involved in the case. Nobody else will make a dime off of this waste of judicial resources.

    Elon Musk loses big in court; X boycott perfectly legal

    I’m tired of the frivolous waste nonsense like this causes in our already taxed judicial system. But, hey, some lawyers made a lot of money regardless of outcome.

    Here is NASA’s plan for nuking Gateway and sending it to Mars

    Solid technical concept, put skeptical this idea lasts at most past the current administration. Western civilization is on the brink of financial insolvency; and, even without that factor, risk aversion will shut this down in the next administration, if not sooner. Possible Chyna will plow...
