cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-04 23:28:00

US Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill, the Sandbox Act, aimed at giving companies developing AI technologies a way to bypass regulations by requesting a government waiver. According to the bill, the act would "establish a Federal regulatory sandbox program for artificial intelligence, and for other purposes." In introducing the bill, Cruz said it would allow AI tech to be unhindered by "outdated or inflexible federal rules." In addition to establishing a program for this, the bill, if passed,

Netflix’s best movies deserve more time on the big screen

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-05 01:00:00

Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations — the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film’s premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won’t get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all.

The iPhone 17 looks great, but I’d still choose the Pixel 10 over it

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve. It gave the base iPhone 17 a 120Hz refresh rate, an updated chipset, and doubled its base storage — not to mention a 48MP ultrawide camera. And you know what? Those are all significant upgrades. They’ll make the iPhone 17 Apple’s best yet.

Best Travel Cameras (2025), Tested and Reviewed

If you want a camera that has a capable zoom, shoots excellent RAW images and great 4K/30 fps video, and manages to fit in most pockets, the Sony RX100 VII is your best bet.

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables Problem statement: count the unique values in a large array of mostly-unique uint64s. Two standard approaches are: Insert into a hash table and return the number of entries. Sort the array, then count positions that differ from their predecessor.
