▸ • NASA's Artemis II mission successfully launches four astronauts to the Moon, marking the boldest lunar mission in generations.
▸ • Cloudflare introduces EmDash, a serverless JavaScript CMS built on Astro 6.0 that aims to replace WordPress by solving plugin security.
▸ • Nvidia rolls out Auto Shader Compilation (ASC) to fix the dreaded 'compiling shaders' wait times by precompiling during PC idle time.
After more than 50 years, NASA has successfully launched four astronauts toward the Moon. The fiery send-off from Cape Canaveral marks the beginning of a mission that aims to bring humans back to the lunar surface by 2028, proving we haven't completely forgotten how to leave low Earth orbit.
Cloudflare just dropped EmDash, a full-stack serverless JavaScript CMS built on Astro 6.0. It's designed to be the spiritual successor to WordPress, running plugins in sandboxed Worker isolates to finally solve the endless nightmare of plugin security vulnerabilities.
IBM and ETH Zurich are teaming up for a decade-long initiative to advance foundational algorithms for the AI and quantum computing era. Because if you're going to build the future of enterprise computing, you might as well do it with Swiss precision.
Uber is expanding its $4,000 incentive program nationwide to convince drivers to ditch their gas guzzlers for EVs. It turns out throwing cash at people is a highly effective way to reduce carbon emissions.
In a plot twist no tech bro saw coming, Sweden is actively swapping screens for physical books in classrooms. It's a fascinating look at how one of the world's most digitized nations is hitting the brakes on ed-tech to save student attention spans. Sometimes the best user interface is just paper.
A deep dive into enabling Codex to analyze 20 years of Hacker News data. It's a meta-analysis of the tech community's collective consciousness, revealing exactly how our obsessions have shifted from Ruby on Rails to LLMs over the years.
Ars Technica rounded up the best under-the-radar science stories of the week. From raccoons solving complex puzzles to the actual physics of folding a crepe, it's a delightful reminder that science isn't just about AI and quantum computing.
Nvidia's new Auto Shader Compilation (ASC) feature in its beta app rebuilds DirectX 12 shaders while your PC is idle. This means you can finally launch a game after a driver update without staring at a progress bar for ten minutes.
GitHub introduced the `/fleet` command for Copilot CLI, allowing developers to dispatch multiple agents in parallel. You can now write prompts that split work across files and declare dependencies, effectively turning your terminal into a mini dev team.
With recent attacks focusing on exfiltrating secrets, GitHub has outlined new prevention steps and security capabilities. It's a must-read for anyone maintaining open-source projects who prefers not to be the vector for the next major supply chain attack.
Sonder is a new dating app with a deliberately annoying, unstructured sign-up process that forces users to build a MySpace-style digital collage. Surprisingly, making things difficult is actually working to filter out the low-effort swipers.
The developer who just built the official White House app previously made headlines for asking if Nazis escaped on a UFO. It's proof that in tech, your weird internet history doesn't always disqualify you from government contracts.
