This macaron-inspired power bank charges faster than most and fits in your pocket

TL;DR The new INIU P50 is a small, 10,000mAh power bank with 45W fast charging. It features TinyCell Pro technology for a compact size and can charge three devices simultaneously. It is available in new macaron-inspired colors and includes a digital display and detachable usb-c lanyard cable. Smartphone battery sizes haven’t increased much in the US in recent years (you can blame the government for that). While most phones can survive a day on a full charge, there are plenty of instances when

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals camera and design upgrades, but not the ones you asked for

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new Galaxy S26 Ultra leak suggests that Samsung could be upgrading the 3x telephoto camera to a 12MP sensor. Samsung is also said to retain the 5,000mAh battery, but offer faster charging and a slimmer design at under 8mm thickness. Samsung isn’t expected to upgrade the 200MP primary sensor, nor is it adding in more battery capacity. Samsung is currently focused on getting the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to market, with their launch schedul

US TikTok users may soon have to switch to a new version of the app

ByteDance is said to be building a new, US-only version of the TikTok app that it will release on September 5. According to The Information , the company is moving ahead with this plan to comply with legislation requiring it to sell its TikTok business in the US or face a nationwide ban . The report suggests that folks in the US will have to switch to the new app (dubbed "M2") in order to keep using TikTok. It's said that ByteDance will remove the existing TikTok app (which the company internal

The Cat's Meat Man: Feeding Felines in Victorian London

Within minutes of the cat’s meat man embarking on his circuit, the barrow would be surrounded by felines, some of whom had perfectly good homes to go to and others who did not but still hoped that a sliver of flesh might fall their way. Although there were plenty of grim jokes circulating about how cat’s meat men supplied the toughest meat they could get away with, the fact was that many of these rough diamonds were known for their tender hearts. It was not unusual to spot a cat’s meat man slipp

How a big shift in training LLMs led to a capability explosion

In April 2023, a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, the Internet went wild for two new software projects with the audacious names BabyAGI and AutoGPT. “Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building ‘autonomous agents’ that work with large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems,” Mark Sullivan wrote for Fast Company. “Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.”

On Mexico’s Caribbean Coast, There’s Lobster for the Tourists and Microplastics for Everyone Else

The fishermen of Puerto Morelos, on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, risk their lives every time they head out to sea to fish or dive for lobsters. Their bounty is dependent on luck, as the weather often makes it impossible to go out, while on other days the hooks they cast come back empty. These workers set out every day to find the best lobsters possible for the affluent vacationers who come to the region, while they and their families, cut off from many of the benefits of tourism development, get by

Elon Musk's proposed America Party is already attracting the attention of the ultra-rich

Just a day after former White House advisor Elon Musk claimed on X that he's creating a new political party in the US, some deep-pocketed figures have offered support and potential interest. Replying to an X post that said the America Party would offer "independence from the two-party system," billionaire Mark Cuban and investment banker Anthony Scaramucci both replied to Musk, providing some possible next steps. After celebrating the America Party announcement post with emojis, Cuban said that

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

How to get started with Old English poetry

The Shipwreck (1805), Joseph Mallord William Turner Most people who know anything at all about Old English poetry will be aware of the existence of Beowulf. Perhaps they will even have read it. But far fewer will be aware of the 90% of Old English poetry that is not Beowulf. It’s a shame, because the back catalogue of Old English poetry — the deep cuts — are well worth reading. And, in general, these poems are much easier (and shorter) to read than Beowulf. The entire corpus of surviving poet

Watch TikTok Sensations Savannah Bananas Free on Your Roku Screen

There's a chance your TikTok feed has slipped in a few clips of the Savannah Bananas, an exhibition baseball team whose antics and gameplay style may remind you of the Harlem Globetrotters.

This weekend, you can stream a game for free on the Roku Channel. If coordinated choreography for songs like the Cupid

A Canadian's AI hoax duped the media and propelled a 'band' to success

A Canadian who duped journalists in an elaborate AI music hoax says he apologizes to anyone hurt by his experiment but that it's been "too fascinating" to turn away from. A man using the pseudonym Andrew Frelon posed as the spokesperson for a band called The Velvet Sundown — which he later said he had no involvement with — creating a media frenzy that propelled the AI-assisted "band" to a million monthly listeners on Spotify. He spoke with CBC News over the phone Friday on condition that his r

Volunteer finds Holy Grail of abolitionist-era Baptist documents

By MICHAEL CASEY GROTON, Mass. (AP) — Jennifer Cromack was combing through the American Baptist archive when she uncovered a slim box among some 18th and 19th century journals. Opening it, she found a scroll in pristine condition. A closer look revealed the 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long) document was a handwritten declaration titled “A Resolution and Protest Against Slavery,” signed by 116 New England ministers in Boston and adopted March 2, 1847. Until its discovery in May at the archives in Gr

Injection Rejection (2006)

Matthias Winkelmann's company decided to go the ole' outsourcing route and hand off all development work for a fixed-bid project to a certain overseas company. As it turned out, the hourly rate for certain overseas programmers were less than half that of the in-house folks, so management did the math and figured they could profit that much more. The in-house programmers were told to spend "only a little bit of time" on the project -- no technical advice, no coding assistance, and no even lookin

Speeding up PostgreSQL dump/restore snapshots

Why government red tape is draining your phone’s battery potential

Robert Triggs / Android Authority You’re not alone if you’re pining for longer battery life from your latest smartphone. Despite emerging technologies like silicon-carbon cells, we’ve seemingly hit a ceiling just above the 5,000 mAh mark — at least for phones sold in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, glance over at models in China or India, and you’ll spot far larger batteries in otherwise identical handsets. For example, the new Nothing Phone 3 packs a 5,150mAh battery globally, but bumps that up

The Moat of Low Status

This post is an excerpt from my forthcoming book (and builds on a couple paragraphs in my original post on agency). I’ll be running a few excerpts here in the next couple months, in hopes of getting feedback on the kinds of content people are excited to see in the book (which is a signal about what to expand or scale back). Let me know what you think! Fear of being temporarily low in social status stops human beings from living richer lives to an unbelievable degree. It happens on the micro sc

Everything You Can Do in the Photoshop Mobile App

You know your software is a success when its name becomes a verb: You'll now commonly hear about images being photoshopped, even if the editing wasn't done with the Adobe image editor. Adobe might not like it, but the usage shows how dominant its flagship product has become. On mobile though, Photoshop hasn't achieved the same kind of ubiquity or brand recognition. We've had official Photoshop apps of various types down the years, but none of them have really translated the power and feature se
