An Innovative New Security Camera Has a Solar Panel That Follows the Sun

I've tested solar panels for home security cameras before. Almost every brand has one nowadays, and they're an easy way to use wireless cams and keep their batteries full. But mounting those little solar panels in the right spot can be a pain, which is why I'm fascinated by Baseus S2's solution: A built-in solar panel that moves. This camera, currently available for preorder at $130, includes a solar panel on top similar to Eufy's model but with one big difference. This panel is designed to rot

Netflix is already using generative AI in its original shows

Netflix admitted during its earnings call on Thursday that it used generative AI to create VFX in The Eternaut, a Netflix original from Argentina that was released in April 2025. The company's co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that generative AI was specifically used for a VFX shot in the post-apocalyptic drama, but the move is one of several ways Netflix is embracing AI. According to Sarandos, the creators of The Eternaut wanted to include a shot of building collapsing in Buenos Aires, and rather than

Multiplatform Matrix Multiplication Kernels

Few algorithmic problems are as central to modern computing as matrix multiplication. It is fundamental to AI, forming the basis of fully connected layers used throughout neural networks. In transformer architectures, most of the computation is spent performing matrix multiplication. And since compute largely determines capability, faster matrix multiplication algorithms directly translate into more powerful models [1 ].

The album’s contents have always been a highly guarded secret, and it was seized by the U.S. government in 2018 after Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud.
