Is AI overhyped or underhyped? 6 tips to separate fact from fiction

Mininyx Doodle / Getty Images Who do you believe when it comes to the potential impact of artificial intelligence? An MIT Nobel laureate economist or the former CEO of the world's biggest tech company? MIT economist Daron Acemoglu, for his part, says the current hype is way over the top. AI might profitably automate only 5% of tasks and add just 1% to global GDP over the coming decade, he said in a recent MIT Sloan presentation.

5 reasons why Firefox is still my favorite browser - and deserves more respect

Finally, there's something to be said for supporting the underdog. In the Windows desktop browser arena, Chrome is still the top dog by far (though some of the upcoming AI-based browsers may start nipping at its heels). Edge is in second place. That puts Firefox in third. But I think the browser should be defined by much more than its third-place status.

Coverage.py Regex Pragmas

Coverage.py uses regexes to define pragma syntax. This is surprisingly powerful. Coverage.py lets you indicate code to exclude from measurement by adding comments to your Python files. But coverage implements them differently than other similar tools. Rather than having fixed syntax for these comments, they are defined using regexes that you can change or add to. This has been surprisingly powerful. The basic behavior: coverage finds lines in your source files that match the regexes. These lin

Rare earths are China’s bargaining chip in the trade war — the U.S. is trying to fix that

cnbc.com Magdalena Petrova Jeniece Pettitt Jason Reginato 2026-01-05 03:00:01

Rare earths refer to 17 elements on the periodic table whose atomic structure gives them special magnetic properties. They're also the most important bargaining chip in the U.S. and China trade war. That's because these rare earth magnets power everything from electric vehicles and wind turbines to defense equipment, data centers and high-tech consumer electronics.

Ditch the Hot Oven: The Ultimate Summer Cooking Hack Is Sitting on Your Counter

I love grilling as much as the next backyard warrior, but standing over open flames in 90-degree heat feels less like cooking and more like slow-roasting myself. And firing up the oven indoors? That just turns your kitchen into a sauna and your living room into a convection zone. Not to mention, using a gas range with the windows shut is basically inviting bad air to dinner.

25 Best Cheap Watches Under $1,000 (2025): Timex, Hamilton, and Seiko

Whether an automatic or a quartz watch is the better buy is an age-old question watch nerds have argued about since the '70s when quartz first made a splash. The answer is actually simple—don’t let it worry you. The convenience of a quartz watch being always ready to go when you put it on may outweigh the pleasure of seeing the lovely smooth sweep of the second hand on an automatic.

This founder left Silicon Valley to challenge U.S. defense supremacy from Athens, and investors are paying attention

In the summer of 2021, Dimitrious Kottas made a move that would be unfathomable to most Silicon Valley engineers: after leaving his coveted position at Apple’s Special Projects Group, he packed up his life in California and moved back to Athens to start a defense company. Three and a half years later, his startup, Delian Alliance Industries, has set up solar-powered surveillance towers that monitor some of Greece’s borders around the clock and detect wildfires on remote islands, along with a pi

Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 phones might not be a hot mess thanks to this addition

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly add a “heat pass block” to the Exynos 2600 processor. This component should act as a heat sink and reduce the chip’s temperature. This comes amid speculation and rumors about the Galaxy S26’s chip choice. The Galaxy S25 series is exclusively powered by Snapdragon silicon.

I liked it when I reviewed it and thought it was worth buying (it’s since been replaced by the Galaxy Watch 8), but it had a few omissions that made me long for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, squircle design and all.
