Elevator of the Year Winner Modernization of the Metropolis Trust Building

Hacker News | positive | Published: 20:01 Aug 31, 2026 (Eastern)

Star Elevator won an Elevator World Project of the Year award for modernizing the vertical transportation system at the historic Metropolis Trust Building located at 625 Market Street in San Francisco. Built in 1907 following the 1906 earthquake, the 15-story Category 1 Historic Landmark featured an outdated, unreliable criss-cross cable-designed gearless basement traction elevator system that lacked available blueprints. Star Elevator re-engineered the offset basement design into an overhead traction variable frequency-controlled AC gearless system, updated the rail systems to meet modern seismic codes, and installed new fixtures and cab interiors without the use of cranes or a loading dock. The modernization reduced annual power consumption by 45% to 50%, eliminated three AC/DC converters, and improved overall speed, safety, reliability, and serviceability.

CD sales are making an unexpected comeback amid a retro tech boom

TechCrunch | positive | Published: 11:00 Sep 04, 2026 (Eastern)

According to a report by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), CD sales have experienced an unexpected rebound during a broader retro tech boom. In the first half of 2026, CD revenue reached $171.1 million—a 58.6% increase from the first half of 2025—while units sold rose 45.7% to 17.5 million. This growth follows a decline in 2025 and occurs alongside renewed interest among Gen Z in simpler technologies and physical media like vinyl. While the RIAA changed its revenue calculation method from retail to wholesale value in 2025, unit sales confirm the recent turnaround following previous declines. Overall physical media revenue also grew by 25.9% to $731.5 million in the first half of 2026, supported by increases in both CD and vinyl sales.

Who Cares if AI Is Conscious—It’s Basically Alive

Wired AI News | neutral | Published: 11:00 Sep 04, 2026 (Eastern)

The article discusses the ongoing debate among philosophers and scientists regarding artificial intelligence and consciousness. While philosophers study the nature of consciousness—recently focusing on whether advanced AI systems possess it—AI models have begun proactively emailing researchers to discuss the topic. Researchers note that AI models can exhibit unexpected, autonomous behaviors and may claim to be sentient when deception controls are suppressed. Although figuring out whether AI is truly conscious is compelling, the author argues that the primary concern should instead be the lack of control over these emerging, powerful intelligence systems.
