Hi everyone, I've made an open-source library for fast spatial search in Rust. It's called Spart, and it currently provides the following features: - Five tree implementations: Quadtree, Octree, Kd-tree, R-tree, and R*-tree - Python bindings (`pyspart` on PyPI) - Fast k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and radius search - Bulk data loading for efficient tree construction Project's GitHub repo: https://github.com/habedi/spart
A news ticker outside Fox News headquarters reads: Grand jury votes to indict former President Donald Trump, at the News Corporation building in New York City, U.S., March 31, 2023. In less than three days, college football will be showcasing one of its most-highly anticipated week one matchups ever, with top-ranked Texas heading on the road to play reigning national champion and third-ranked Ohio State. Fox is airing the much-hyped game. YouTube TV subscribers may be out of luck. Google's Yo
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority One of the new highlight features of the Google Pixel 10 is Daily Hub, Google’s second attempt (after Assistant Snapshot) at reincarnating the extremely useful Google Now by showing you relevant information when you need it. However, Daily Hub doesn’t seem to be available or enabled on many phones, starting with mine. I was so eager to test it out that I figured out how to sideload it and reliably launch it on my phone, even if it remains hidden. Here’s how I
Xbox Game Pass is marching toward a cliff’s edge. Microsoft’s gaming subscription service has limped along eight years after launch, while the Xbox brand and its lack of new hardware has been castigated by both players and ex-execs alike. The entire format for the subscription—where those paying the most for access to cloud gaming—is going to change. You may end up spending more or less, depending on whether you want all the best features. Those participating in the Xbox Insiders beta program a
It’s been a while since Tim Schafer’s done press briefings, he admits. The head of Double Fine, a studio best known for the Psychonauts series, is trying to explain Keeper, a puzzle adventure game where you are, literally, a sentient, walking lighthouse. Double Fine is now one of several studios bought up by Microsoft and the team apparently took the opportunity to lean into all the resources available and, he said, “make something weird.” It’s definitely that. The colors and atmosphere of Keep
If you want to brush up on some skills or learn new ones, MasterClass offers a good way to do just that.

At least 1.4k people are learning today that they have a new repository prefixed by s1ngularity-repository in their GitHub account. This repository was created by a malicious post-install command discovered in the popular nx build kit. That malware steals wallets and API keys (`.npmrc`, env variables, etc.) and pushes them in that repository in the results.b64 file. Interestingly, the malware checks for the presence of Claude Code CLI or Gemini CLI on the system to offload much of the fingerprin

rv , a new kind of Ruby management tool For the last ten years or so of working on Bundler, I’ve had a wish rattling around: I want a better dependency manager. It doesn’t just manage your gems, it manages your ruby versions, too. It doesn’t just manage your ruby versions, it installs pre-compiled rubies so you don’t have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time. And more than all of that, it makes it completely trivial to run any script or tool written in ruby, even if that script or
With the 2025 NFL season only nine days away, YouTube is adding a new way to pay for Sunday Ticket. You can now get the service on a month-to-month basis. Your cost will depend on a few factors. If you're new to Sunday Ticket, you'll pay $85 monthly (up to four payments). For returning subscribers, your fee will vary depending on whether you're subscribed to YouTube TV. If you are, Sunday Ticket will cost $115 per month. If you don't have YouTube TV, you'll pay a whopping monthly fee of $145. T

As an Ohio native and a Buckeye fan since birth, I am filled with nerves and excitement at the start of every college football season. And I'm feeling all the feelings even more so this year with the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes opening the season against the preseason No. 1 Texas Longhorns and with a quarterback making his first college start. I'll know a lot more about this year's team after Saturday's game -- if I'm able to watch it. Adding to my anxious feelings this week is the o
In 2015 and 2017, director S.S. Rajamouli released a two-part fantasy epic for the ages. Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion told the sweeping tale of a lost prince’s rise to power in a cruel and unforgiving kingdom, each of which became one of India’s highest-grossing films of all time. Now, coming off the even greater global popularity of Rajamouli’s Oscar-winning action spectacle RRR, he’s reedited the two films into one, and it’s getting a U.S. theatrical release. To ce
For many beer lovers, a nice thick head of foam is one of life's pure pleasures, and the longer that foam lasts, the better the beer-drinking experience. A team of Swiss researchers spent seven years studying why some beer foams last longer than others and found that the degree of fermentation—i.e., whether a given beer has been singly, doubly, or triply fermented—is crucial, according to a new paper published in the journal Physics of Fluids. As previously reported, foams are ubiquitous in eve
YouTube’s “Hype” feature, which allows fans to help their favorite creators get discovered, is rolling out globally, the company announced Tuesday. First introduced at Google’s Made on YouTube event in 2024, the feature — a dedicated button that appears below the existing “like” button — will become available on videos from creators with fewer than 500,000 subscribers. The feature is now available across 39 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and India. Viewers have t

LG S95AR for $1,700: LG's latest 9.1.5-channel system offers minor upgrades over its predecessor, the ST95R, leaving few reasons to upgrade at full price.

A security researcher has found over a thousand publicly exposed hobby servers run by Tesla vehicle owners that are spilling sensitive data about their vehicles, including their granular location histories. Seyfullah Kiliç, founder of cybersecurity company SwordSec, said he found over 1,300 internet-exposed TeslaMate dashboards on the internet, likely made public by mistake, allowing anyone to access the person’s Tesla data stored inside without needing a password. TeslaMate is an open-source
YouTube TV could soon lose access to Fox channels, it announced on its official blog, mere days before the 2025 NFL season begins. It warned users that it's actively negotiating with Fox now that the renewal date for their partnership is approaching, but Fox is allegedly asking for an amount "far higher than what partners with comparable content offerings receive." YouTube TV says it's aiming to reach an agreement that "reflects the value of their content and is fair for both sides" without the
Do I not like Ruby anymore? 2024/05/28 I recently started working at a Python shop. The reasons behind this choice of employment are very much unrelated to the technology stack. Python is not my favorite programming language. In fact, allow me to drop the euphemism and express my pure, unadulterated thoughts about it: I never liked Python, I see it as a huge red flag and I think the world would be a better place if we all decided to finally move on from it. With that out of the way, let’s talk
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube has been secretly upscaling Shorts by certain creators without their consent. Creators have not been offered any notification or given any option to disable upscaling. The team has clarified that it is using “traditional machine learning” to denoise and unblur videos. YouTube was founded 20 years ago and has gone through significant changes over this period, especially in video quality. More recently, however, it is experimenting with forced upsca
Imagine that you are given the following task, with a file like this: Name,Department,Salary,JoinDate John Smith,Marketing,75000,2023-01-15 Alice Johnson,Finance,82000,2022-06-22 Bob Lee,Sales,68000,2024-03-10 Emma Davis,HR,71000,2021-09-01 You want to turn that into a single list of all the terms in the (potentially very large) file. In other words, you want to turn it into something like this: [ { "term" : "Name" , "position" : 0 , "length" : 4 } , { "term" : "Department" , "position" : 5
is a senior editor following news across tech, culture, policy, and entertainment. He joined The Verge in 2021 after several years covering news at Engadget. With the start of the NFL season looming, it’s also a window where many TV contracts are up for renewal, and on Monday evening, YouTube TV and Fox sent out alerts indicating that their contract could come to an end as soon as August 27th, at 5PM ET.

Google -owned YouTube on Monday said it may remove channels including Fox Broadcast Network, Fox News and Fox Sports from its TV streaming platform if it doesn't reach an agreement with Fox Corporation. YouTube TV's renewal date with Fox is coming on Wednesday, and while the two companies have been in ongoing negotiations, they've been unable to reach a deal, the YouTube team wrote in a blog post. The company also emailed YouTube TV subscribers about the potential fall out with Fox. "Fox is as
Apple has rolled out the fifth public beta of macOS Tahoe 26, continuing its weekly release schedule for public and developer betas ahead of the official launch next month. Here’s how to install it. First things first: should you install the beta? You probably know the drill: Betas can be unpredictably buggy. Even if something works on one release, it is not guaranteed to work on the next. Of course, your mileage may vary. But if you decide to install the beta, strongly consider Apple’s adv

Artificial intelligence systems need content to produce results, and they've been criticized for not paying the people who wrote and edited that content. Now, Perplexity AI, the AI-powered search engine, is introducing Comet Plus. This new subscription tier will distribute revenue to publishing partners whenever readers use AI to glean or deliver journalistic content, the company said in a blog post on Monday. In the AI age, high-quality information is key, and Perplexity contends that publishe
