Elon Musk Teases ‘Fireworks’ as Trump Signs His ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, spent the Fourth of July doing what he does best: stirring speculation, igniting controversy, and hinting at big political moves. All from behind a keyboard. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO kicked off America’s Independence Day with a patriotic post on his platform X (formerly Twitter): “🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸” 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 4, 2025 But it was his follow-up that really set off alarms: “Great day for som

Ready-made stem cell therapies for pets could be coming

Earlier this week, San Diego startup Gallant announced $18 million in funding to bring the first FDA-approved ready-to-use stem cell therapy to veterinary medicine. If it passes regulatory muster, it could create a whole new way to treat our fur babies. It’s still an experimental field, even though people have been researching stem cells for humans for decades. Seven-year-old Gallant’s first target is a painful mouth condition in cats called Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS), which Gallan

How AI can help you navigate layoffs, according to one executive producer at Xbox

Can an LLM "help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss?" It's been a rough week at Microsoft. Following the news that 9,000 people are being laid off at the company, one Xbox executive offered some questionable words of advice for people on their way out: Find solace in Microsoft Copilot. As reported by Aftermath , Matt Turnbull, an executive producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing who clearly did not lose his job recently, took to LinkedIn to let folks know, "You'r

Prompting LLMs is not engineering

Prompting LLMs is not engineering published in: With the proliferation of AI models and tools, there's a new industry-wide fascination with snake oil remedies called "prompt engineering". As of July 2025 the term is now "context engineering" or "context prompting" or "context manipulation". To put it succinctly, prompt engineering is nothing but an attempt to reverse-engineer a non-deterministic black box for which any of the parameters below are unknown: training set weights constraints o

The Great American EV Fire Sale Is About to Begin

If you are thinking about buying an electric vehicle, the clock is now ticking. President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” has officially passed Congress, and with it, a countdown that will kill the popular $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles. You now have less than three months to act. The tax credit officially expires on September 30, 2025. Initially, there were rumors the EV credits would last 180 days from when the bill was signed, a six-month grace period. This law

Apple just released a weirdly interesting coding language model

Apple quietly dropped a new AI model on Hugging Face with an interesting twist. Instead of writing code like traditional LLMs generate text (left to right, top to bottom), it can also write out of order, and improve multiple chunks at once. The result is faster code generation, at a performance that rivals top open-source coding models. Here’s how it works. The nerdy bits Here are some (overly simplified, in the name of efficiency) concepts that are important to understand before we can move

Hacker leaks Telefónica data allegedly stolen in a new breach

A hacker is threatening to leak 106GB of data allegedly stolen from Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica in a breach that the company did not acknowledge.

How Gareth Edwards Made ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ His Ultimate Spielberg Love letter

That Jurassic World Rebirth is the seventh film in a franchise started by Steven Spielberg should make at least one thing obvious. The film’s existence alone is a tribute to the iconic director. And while previous iterations have honored the filmmaker’s work in other ways, Rebirth takes things to a whole other level. “In reading the script, there are scenes [and] descriptions where they’re in a boat chasing a giant creature through the water. They’re leaning forward at the front with a rifle. T

Laid-off workers should use AI to manage their emotions, says Xbox exec

“These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone. I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I’d be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM Al tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss. Here are some prompt ideas and use

Inside India’s scramble for AI independence

Nonetheless, a small but determined group of Indian builders is starting to shape the country’s AI future. For example, Sarvam AI has created OpenHathi-Hi-v0.1, an open-source Hindi language model that shows the Indian AI field’s growing ability to address the country’s vast linguistic diversity. The model, built on Meta’s Llama 2 architecture, was trained on 40 billion tokens of Hindi and related Indian-language content, making it one of the largest open-source Hindi models available to date.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak suggests the Pixel Watch 4 will be coming with five color options spread across the 41mm and 45mm watch sizes. A wide range of band materials and colors are also said to be coming, including two-tone leather, crafted leather, active, metal mesh, performance loop, woven, and more. The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to come with a thicker casing, slimmer bezels, and a new wireless charging mechanism without magnetic pogo pins. As we approach the n

I test all the best Android phones every year, and these are the ones you should buy in 2025

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best. After all, everyone wants to think that their favorite of anything is the best — the best album, book, or cup of coffee — but that can’t always be true. And, when you apply the idea of being the best to a category as wide open as Android phones, which can come in different shapes, sizes, and prices, the task becomes even greater. However, I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes an Android phone great. I test and review dozens

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR US Mobile is once again offering the Pixel 9 for just $249 on July 4 at 11am EST. There are just 500 units, and considering the original 2,500 units when within minutes — we’d be ready the second this one goes live if you’re interested. The deal is applicable for both new and existing customers, though exact plan requirements vary. Last week, US Mobile rolled out its most impressive device offer to date, giving users a chance to get the Pixel 9 for j

Gaspype provides two main classes: fluid and elements . A fluid object can have multiple compositions. A multidimensional fluid object can be created for example by multiplication with a numpy array: In some cases not the molecular but the atomic composition is of interest. The elements class can be used for atom based balances and works similar: el = gp . elements ({ 'N' : 1 , 'Cl' : 2 }) el . get_mass () np . float64 ( 0.08490700000000001 ) A elements object can be as well instantiated fr

DRM Panic QR code generator

This is a simple QR code generator, to display the panic data as a QR code. It is specific to the DRM panic use case, and supports only some parts of the QR code specification. Kernel panic traces are usually displayed on the screen, but then it's hard to copy and paste them to a bug report, so that a developer can take a look, and fix the bug. As QR code are now widespread, using that allows to easily copy and paste the panic traces in a bug report, which makes debugging much easier for both

I'm Still Obsessed With This Cult Conspiracy Thriller and Now It's on Netflix

Every once in a while, a TV show comes out of nowhere and changes the very fabric of the medium. Off the top of my head, I can think of five: Twin Peaks, Lost, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. After Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama ended in 2013, I wondered what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. The answer came in the form of an edgy show about the internet, of all things. It starred a relatively unknown character actor as a flawed, neurodivergent hacker genius who

This Is Why Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Needed Human Babysitters

Whether due to consumer backlash or an aging EV lineup, or both, Tesla sales have again seen a global plunge, this time 13 percent last quarter compared to the previous year—proof that the electric automaker hasn’t yet turned around a dismal year that saw public opinion of controversial CEO Elon Musk plummet. It could mean Tesla faces a second straight year of falling sales. And yet: Tesla is still the world’s most valuable automaker by market capitalization, worth some $990 billion. At least s

Alternative Blanket Implementations for a Single Rust Trait

July 01, 2025 #rust #traits #patterns Serhii PotapovJuly 01, 2025 Rust's trait system is famously powerful - and famously strict about avoiding ambiguity. One such rule is that you can't have multiple blanket implementations of the same trait that could potentially apply to the same type. What Is a Blanket Implementation? A blanket implementation is a trait implementation that applies to any type meeting certain constraints, typically via generics. A classic example from the standard librar

WASM Agents: AI agents running in the browser

One of the main barriers to a wider adoption of open-source agents is the dependency on extra tools and frameworks that need to be installed before the agents can be run. In this post, we show how to write agents as HTML files, which can just be opened and run in a browser.

Major reversal in ocean circulation detected in the Southern Ocean

Satellite data processing algorithms developed by ICM-CSIC have played a crucial role in detecting this significant shift in the Southern Hemisphere, which could accelerate the effects of climate change. Thanks to data obtained from Earth observation satellites, an international team of scientists has detected an unprecedented phenomenon for the first time: a reversal in the ocean circulation of the Southern Ocean. The study, led by the National Oceanographic Center (NOC, United Kingdom), was r
