Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-02-27 08:00:14

Due to the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, our planet’s crust is constantly recycled, making rocks and minerals from its earliest days incredibly rare. That’s frustrating for geologists, since surface-level Hadean rocks (rocks older than 4.03 billion years) could provide significant insight into the first geological stages of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. In a study published today in Early Earth, researchers from Canada and France suggest that the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (NGB)—a

Mark Hamill Once Again Shared His Dark Motivations for Luke in ‘The Last Jedi’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-27 08:15:35

Luke Skywalker had a wife and a kid who both killed themselves. Well, not really, but that’s what Mark Hamill internalized in order to get into the headspace of the character for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. The actor has shared this information before, but it’s been a while, so we figured it was worth discussing again with a little distance.

Microsoft Is Having an Incredibly Embarrassing Problem With Its AI

Despite investing tens of billions of dollars into OpenAI, tech giant Microsoft has a problem: it's in direct competition with its business partner, and OpenAI is winning. As Bloomberg reports, Microsoft salespeople are having trouble wooing both potential and existing customers with the company's Copilot, its AI assistant built on OpenAI's tech. Basically, it feels like a worse version of ChatGPT — which has a free version online. Some companies, like the New York Life Insurance Co, told the

The Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Is Getting Its Inevitable Sequel

Dean Fleischer Camp’s summer blockbuster hit Lilo & Stitch has officially been given the Disney green light for a sequel. It makes sense for Disney to make the move official today, on June 26—the date co-opted by the company to be an unofficial Stitch holiday inspired by his experiment code from the film, 626. The first film was a blockbuster hit for the studio, which made $920 million globally after being made for a mere $100 million, which is small considering Disney’s usually oversized budge

Muvera: Making multi-vector retrieval as fast as single-vector search

Neural embedding models have become a cornerstone of modern information retrieval (IR). Given a query from a user (e.g., “How tall is Mt Everest?”), the goal of IR is to find information relevant to the query from a very large collection of data (e.g., the billions of documents, images, or videos on the Web). Embedding models transform each datapoint into a single-vector “embedding”, such that semantically similar datapoints are transformed into mathematically similar vectors. The embeddings are
