Vibration plates are popular all over social media right now. They claim to help you lose weight and build muscle -- all while standing on the vibrating surface. But does standing on a shaking platform really help you get stronger or shed pounds, or is it just another short-lived trend? To find out, we talked to personal trainers and other fitness experts. These experts explained how vibration plates are supposed to work, the benefits you might get from using them, the risks you should watch ou

AI Is Bad at Sudoku. It's Even Worse at Showing Its Work

Chatbots are genuinely impressive when you watch them do things they're good at, like writing a basic email or creating weird, futuristic-looking images. But ask generative AI to solve one of those puzzles in the back of a newspaper, and things can quickly go off the rails. That's what researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder found when they challenged large language models to solve sudoku. And not even the standard 9x9 puzzles. An easier 6x6 puzzle was often beyond the capabilities

Whether it's in food storage or kitchen tools, microplastics are everywhere in our kitchens -- and, unfortunately, that includes in the food we eat. In fact, it's been estimated that Americans consume between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually. They come from our environment, food packaging or additives that make their way into our diets. To find out which foods are most likely to contain microplastics, and how they affect our health, we spoke with a family physician. Don't miss

People Who Hunt Down Old TVs

They are televisions from another era, replaced by the flat screen, high-resolution displays of the modern era. Yet cathode-ray tubes are still surprisingly in demand. The moment he saw pictures of the grubby old televisions for sale, Shaan Joshi knew he had to have them. Joshi, a game developer and writer from central Florida in the US, immediately paid up: $2,500 (£1,900) for 10 cathode-ray tube (CRT) TVs. Chunky boxes with thick glass screens.

GPT‑5-Codex and upgrades to Codex. OpenAI half-released a new model today: GPT‑5-Codex, a fine-tuned GPT-5 variant explicitly designed for their various AI-assisted programming tools. I say half-released because it's not yet available via their API, but they "plan to make GPT‑5-Codex available in the API soon".

The companies seeking to build larger AI models have been increasingly stymied by a lack of high-quality training data. As tech firms scour the web for more data to feed their models, they could increasingly rely on potentially sensitive user data. A team at Google Research is exploring new techniques to make the resulting large language models (LLMs) less likely to "memorize" any of that content. LLMs have non-deterministic outputs, meaning you can't exactly predict what they'll say. While the

As a result, it performs better on agentic coding benchmarks.

Futurama’s new season is being called its 13th by Hulu, but the show, which premiered in 1999, has had a stop-and-start presence over the years across Fox, Comedy Central, and straight-to-video movies. The show’s latest season—its third on Hulu—is again treading new ground, getting an all-in-one binge release. One consistent element across Futurama’s discombobulated history has been its loyal fans, so it seems unlikely that dropping the entire season in one go will be a strike against it. Still
