You can save a lot of money with a virtual private network (VPN), whether you're changing virtual locations to get more content out of one streaming service or searching around the world for discounts in online stores. That said, while it's worth investing some cash in a VPN, you never want to pay too much when the goal is to save money. VPN providers frequently sharp massive discounts to anyone willing to sign up for one or two years at a time. This is a win-in — they boost their subscriber nu

Scientists Stunned as Tiny Algae Keep Moving Inside Arctic Ice

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-07 07:05:30

Scientists know that microbial life can survive under some extreme conditions—including, hopefully, harsh Martian weather. But new research suggests that one particular microbe, an algal species found in Arctic ice, isn’t as immobile as it was previously believed. They’re surprisingly active, gliding across—and even within—their frigid stomping grounds. In a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper published September 9, researchers explained that ice diatoms—single-celled algae wi

NASA Found Signs of Ancient Alien Life on Mars. Here's How Excited You Should Be

NASA released a significant update from the Perseverance Mars rover on Wednesday, focusing on a particularly juicy tidbit for those watching from home: A small rock sample called Sapphire Canyon showed signs of potential biosignatures, or ancient alien life that may have once grown on Mars. That's possible because of the unique location where Perseverance located the sample in July 2024. It came from a rock named Cheyava Falls. This particular rock is in Jezero Crater, home to an ancient dry ri

Android 16 QPR1’s source code is nowhere to be found, but Google swears it’s coming

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has delayed releasing the source code for Android 16 QPR1, worrying custom ROM developers who rely on timely AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community.

Reddit, Yahoo, Medium and more are adopting a new licensing standard to get compensated for AI scraping

With web publishers in crisis, a new open standard lets them set the ground rules for AI scrapers. (Or, at least it will try.) The new Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard creates terms that participants expect AI companies to abide by.

‘Traumatika’ Puts a Gruesome Spin on the Idea of Facing Your Demons

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-07 11:00:16

The new indie horror film Traumatika opens with a title card informing us of the “five forms of childhood trauma,” unsubtly announcing what’s about to happen over the next 80 minutes. Then we’re in the Egyptian desert, circa 1910, watching an anguished man bury a sinister-looking figurine in the sand. Only then do we arrive in the 21st century, where terrible things are very much afoot. The flashback adds a little bit of context, but it feels unnecessary; a cursed object is a not-uncommon horro

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference

Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from a language model involves “sampling”, a process that converts the language model’s output into a probability distribution and probabilistically selects a token.
