[ad_1] At a still-under-construction tower in downtown Detroit, venture capitalists and founders from both coasts gathered for the second annual Reindustrialize Summit. The site was a fitting, if unintentional, metaphor for the conference’s central theme: how startups and venture capitalists can spur an American industrial renaissance.The conference speakers, who were mostly company builders and their investors, boldly shared the event’s mission: “Welcome to year two of the save America conference,” Chris Power, CEO of automated factory startup Hadrian, said in his opening speech. “We’re about to go into a generational grudge match with the Chinese Communist Party.”Reviving the country’s manufacturing…

[ad_1] New York CNN — As part of his campaign to get rid of Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump has blamed the Federal Reserve chair for costing the country “hundreds of billions of dollars” by not slashing interest rates. “You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so,” Trump wrote in a handwritten note to Powell that he posted on Truth Social last month. “You should lower that rate by a lot. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being lost.” In the same post, Trump blamed the Fed board, saying, “If they were doing their job properly,…

[ad_1] Greptile, an AI-powered code review startup, is in the process of raising a Series A. Sources familiar with the deal tell TechCrunch it’s for $30 million at a $180 million valuation led by Benchmark partner Eric Vishria. But one person says that the deal hasn’t closed and terms may change. Founded by Dasksh Gupta after he graduated from Georgia Tech in 2023, the startup went through Y Combinator in the winter of 2024 cohort, and raised a $4 million seed round led by Initialized Capital after completing its program. Gupta told TechCrunch last year that the bot his company…
[ad_1] A startup called Pig.dev that participated in Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 batch was working on a potentially revolutionary idea: AI agentic tech to control a Microsoft Windows desktop. But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks. An early-stage YC company pivoting is nothing out of the ordinary, of course. What’s interesting — and what sparked a dynamic conversation on Thursday’s Y Combinator podcast — is that Pig was working on computer use, one…

[ad_1] CNN — President Trump’s lawsuit against journalist Bob Woodward and his publishing house Simon & Schuster was dismissed by a federal judge on Friday, the same day that Trump filed a new and unrelated suit against the Wall Street Journal. US District Judge Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York gave Trump’s legal team a month to file another amended complaint. But for now, he dismissed the current iteration and said “it appears unlikely” that Trump “can adequately plead a plausible copyright interest in ‘The Trump Tapes.’” That was the name of an audiobook released by Woodward…
[ad_1] Samsung’s Frame TVs are a popular choice for people who want a design-focused display in their home. They’re made to look like a piece of art hanging on your wall with a flush mount and matte screen that resembles canvas. But while Frame TVs do an excellent job of masquerading as a painting, their overall image quality has always been a bit lacking. That’s why Samsung launched a brand-new model called the Frame Pro. This set still has all of the core Frame TV design touches, but it aims to improve picture performance with some contrast and brightness upgrades.…
