Must-Play Games of 2025 So Far: Death Stranding 2, Expedition 33, Assassin's Creed Shadows and More

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-23 03:23:00

At the start of the year, 2025 was going to be all about Grand Theft Auto 6, which had so much hype that players were already expecting it to win Game of the Year. That changed last month when Rockstar Games announced that its highly anticipated game would be pushed to 2026. Though this year might not have what could be the biggest game of the decade, 2025 so far has some great games from the most unlikely places. With the launch of the Switch 2 and Summer Game Fest already happening in early J

NASA Continues Testing Multi-Billion Dollar Rocket While Trump Is Actively Trying to Cancel It

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-23 02:30:17

Despite president Donald Trump's plans to phase out Boeing's mega-expensive Space Launch System rocket for NASA, the agency is currently trundling ahead with the original plan. As Ars Technica reports, NASA and Northup Grumman tested an experimental hydrogen-based propulsion engine this week that's slated to launch the world's first crewed trip to the Moon as part of the agency's long-awaited Artemis mission. Unfortunately, this week's SLS engine test — the second such test launch in a week —

Performance Debugging with LLVM-mca: Simulating the CPU

news.ycombinator.com Ivica Bogosavljević 2026-02-23 04:41:09

Some time ago I had a performance problem that wasn’t easy to explain by just looking at the code, since the version I expected to be faster was actually slower. Since the problem is simple yet illustrative, I am using it as a showcase on how to debug performance issues using llvm-mca. According to it’s documentation llvm-mca is a performance analysis tool that uses information available in LLVM (e.g. scheduling models) to statically measure the performance of machine code in a specific CPU.

A neural brain implant provides near instantaneous speech

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-23 02:00:58

Stephen Hawking, a British physicist and arguably the most famous man suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), communicated with the world using a sensor installed in his glasses. That sensor used tiny movements of a single muscle in his cheek to select characters on a screen. Once he typed a full sentence at a rate of roughly one word per minute, the text was synthesized into speech by a DECtalk TC01 synthesizer, which gave him his iconic, robotic voice.

‘We are the media now’: why Tesla’s robotaxis were dominated by Elon Musk superfans

theverge.com Mack Degeurin 2026-02-23 03:30:00

Over the years, Tesla has built part of its reputation on hosting big, bold events to generate authentic hype for upcoming releases. The robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, last week wasn’t one of them. Coverage of the rollout was dominated by a close-knit cohort of Tesla influencers and Elon Musk superfans, many of whom are openly supportive of the CEO’s vision. Journalists and tech bloggers who might have been more critical of the technology were not only excluded but also actively ridiculed an

With ‘F1’, Apple finally has a theatrical hit

Looks like Apple has its first bona fide box office hit. The company has already produced critically-acclaimed and award-winning films for Apple TV+. In fact, while Netflix has reportedly spent millions on its Oscar campaigns, Apple’s “Coda” remains the only movie produced by a streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It has, however, been a different story at the box office — at best, returns have fallen short of ambitious budgets, and with “Argylle,” the company had a spe

G7 agrees to exempt U.S. multinationals from global minimum tax

The Group of Seven nations said on Saturday (June 28, 2025) they have agreed to exempt U.S. multinational companies from a global minimum tax imposed by other countries — a win for President Donald Trump's government, which pushed hard for the compromise. The deal will see U.S. companies benefit from a "side-by-side" solution under which they will only be taxed at home, on both domestic and foreign profits, the G7 said in a statement released by Canada, which holds the group's rotating presiden

Throttling is a very accepted concept in computer science. But this is the most misused and misunderstood lever of computer science. When new engineers join Roblox, their first solutions often include, “If we could just tell our creators to tweak this config or slow down their events…”. Veteran Roblox engineers then gently explain our value of respecting the community and that we don’t tell our creators what to do.
