Supabase Is Acquiring Turso
AI is enabling builders to create an immense amount of software. Today, agents are spinning up millions of databases to power the prototypes, explorations, dashboards, and apps they’re building. This new pattern, at this massive scale, requires an evolution in database infrastructure. Turso is joining Supabase to build this evolution. For existing users, nothing changes. […]
Big Tech ruined the cloud, so we’re renaming ours
From ever-increasing subscription prices to outages and data harvesting: we don’t like what the cloud has come to represent. So we’re redefining what an online service should be: private, optional, and free from lock-in or walled gardens. That’s why today Nabu Casa is renaming Home Assistant Cloud to more accurately describe what the service actually […]
With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI until now
Deep Blue took down Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997, AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol at Go in 2016, and poker bots have been beating professionals for years. But one classic game called Stratego held out.

Our Project Suncatcher prototype satellite is in orbit
Today, our prototype satellite for Project Suncatcher, built in partnership with Planet, launched into orbit aboard the Transporter-18 rideshare mission with SpaceX. Our team has confirmed contact with the satellite and it is operating as expected. This is the first step in a long-term research moonshot exploring whether space could one day host scalable machine […]
A 12-year sequence of telescope images of a star and four planets orbiting
Post Paul Byrne theplanetaryguy.com did:plc:wwbktud2d34ont3frkv73pjo This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star. 2026-10-02T02:14:08.162Z
Why media fans want to escape algorithms with CDs, DVDs and vinyl
For some, it is the security of knowing they have a physical copy of their favourite films and music, free from algorithms, interruptions and the vagaries of streaming. For others, it is the sound of needle on vinyl, the click of a cassette player and the ability to interact with a physical format. We asked […]
