Tesla shows off its first fully autonomous delivery to convince us its self-driving cars work well

Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches, but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X. Unlike the robotaxi service launch last week, the automated delivery had no safety monitor, nor anyone behind the wheel. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, also posted on X that the

JavaScript Trademark Update

On June 18, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision. That claim alleged Oracle knowingly misled the USPTO in its 2019 renewal by submitting a screenshot of the Node.js website to show use of the “JavaScript” trademark. As the creator of Node.js, I find that especially offensive. Node.js was never an Oracle product or brand. Oracle didn’t create it, didn’t run it, and wasn’t authorized to use it to prop up its trademark

‘Predator: Badlands’ Joins Disney’s San Diego Comic-Con Plans

The hunt will be on at San Diego Comic-Con, where Predator: Badlands will get the spotlight. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi film will get a Hall H panel during the convention weekend. It’ll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October’s Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year’s convention, and it’ll be the Predator franchise’s first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black’s 2018 reboot. (P

US surgeons complete first-ever heart transplant using robotics

What just happened? Surgeons at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center in Houston have performed the nation's first fully robotic heart transplant, a milestone in American medicine. Completed in March, the procedure marks a significant leap in robotic cardiac surgery and offers new hope for patients with advanced heart failure. The patient, a 45-year-old man hospitalized for months with severe heart failure, became the first in the United States to receive a heart transplant using a minimally invasiv

Landmark deepfake law aims to give Danish citizens legal control over their digital identity

Denmark has proposed sweeping legislation to curb the rise of AI-generated deepfakes, positioning itself as a leader in European digital rights protection. The suggested amendment to Danish copyright law would grant individuals explicit ownership of their image, voice, and facial features – empowering them to demand the removal of unauthorized digital copies from online platforms. The move comes as deepfake technology grows more accessible and sophisticated. These digital forgeries convincingly

Time Is Three-Dimensional and Space Is Just a Side Effect, Scientist Says

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll note, but more on that later — from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time is three-dimensional and the dimensions of space are an emergent property of it, a press release from the university explains. "These three time dimensions are the primary fabric of everything, like the canvas of a paintin

Scientists Intrigued by Comet With Jets Blasting From Its Interior

What can a comet tell us about the Universe? Vomit Comet Astronomers have detected a gigantic comet — possibly the largest ever discovered — and it's spewing gases from its nucleus as it shoots through our cosmic neighborhood. Comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) is 85 miles in diameter, far bigger than the six-mile asteroid that ended the age of the dinosaurs, according to a new study in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. But thankfully, it's pretty far away — in the vicinity of Nept

I instantly improved Samsung Gallery’s search using its hidden menu, and you can too

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung devices are nothing if not goldmines for treasure hunters, particularly those dealing in hidden menus. Just glossing through Good Lock and its myriad modules indicates how customizable One UI is. However, not every new feature requires an external download. Often, these options are hidden within the stock skin — you need to know where to look. Do you use Samsung Gallery as your default gallery app? 88 votes Yes, it's my default gallery app on my Samsung

I’d give everything for a pre-configured Android gaming handheld

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority Retro gaming handhelds have come a long way in the past few years, but there’s still one big sticking point: the setup. Every time a new handheld comes in for review, I have to spend hours installing emulators, fixing folder structures, and configuring a frontend. Once that’s done, I still have to configure settings and shaders for each console individually, which requires arcane knowledge in popular emulators like RetroArch. Compared to Linux-based handheld

LLMs Bring New Nature of Abstraction

Like most loudmouths in this field, I've been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages. The further development of languages and frameworks increased our abstraction level and productivity, but didn't have that kind of impact on the nature of programming. LLMs are making that degree

Decoding Tesla’s New “Fully Autonomous” Car Video—and What It Isn’t Telling You

Elon Musk’s Tesla has dropped a 30-minute video designed to electrify fans and stir debate. Posted on June 28, the clip shows what Musk claims is a historic milestone: the first Tesla Model Y to drive itself from factory to customer home, without a person inside, and without remote operation. “The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!” Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter) on

Tesla’s Viral ‘Autonomous’ Car Delivery Video Is Splitting the Internet

Elon Musk loves a show. Tesla’s marketing machine thrives on spectacle, and on June 27, the company delivered another bold display: a 30-minute video purporting to show the first-ever fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla vehicle, no driver, no remote control. “The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!!” Musk posted on X. In a follow-up, the billionaire CEO escalated the hyp

Fancy Airplane Seats Have Nowhere Left to Go—So What Now?

Not so long ago, direct aisle access along with the ability to lie horizontally were the hallmarks of comfort on airplanes if on entering you happened to be turning right and not left. Fast-forward a decade and the prevailing new high-water mark is now the private suite with sliding doors, expansive entertainment screens and even double beds. Qatar Airways’ Qsuite allows four passengers to dine together face-to-face, while Virgin Atlantic’s Retreat Suite offers an oversized version of business

Lamborghini Revuelto review: perfect harmony

With the dawning of a new era of hybridization in the automotive industry, more and more manufacturers are integrating electric propulsion into their lineups. Mild-hybrid systems are well-established, and more beneficial plug-in hybrid systems keep getting better and better. Even Lamborghini’s participating in the latest wave of hybridization, which might come as a surprise to some. That’s because this Italian company’s outlandish supercars have never been regarded as thrifty, or ever trying to

Tesla says it delivered its first car autonomously from factory to customer

Anthropic’s Claude AI became a terrible business owner in experiment that got ‘weird’

For those of you wondering if AI agents can truly replace human workers, do yourself a favor and read the blog post that documents Anthropic’s “Project Vend.” Researchers at Anthropic and AI safety company Andon Labs put an instance of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in charge of an office vending machine, with a mission to make a profit. And, like an episode of “The Office,” hilarity ensued. They named the AI agent Claudius, equipped it with a web browser capable of placing product orders and an email addr

Why this Lenovo Yoga is one of the best MacBook Air alternatives (and it's $350 off)

ZDNET's key takeaways Lenovo's 10th-Gen Yoga Slim 9i retails for $1,760. It's a lightweight laptop with a striking design and an even more striking 4K OLED touchscreen.

An Introduction to Tribalism for the Modern World That Has Forgotten It

The Western world lives under the rule of law and holds sacred the institutions that enforce them. We believe in contracts, in due process, and in a system of justice that is fair, at least in theory. But what happens when that system frays? What happens when there is a growing class that is above the law? The unsettling answer is that an older, more brutal set of rules re-emerges. It’s a system of power that has governed humanity for nearly all of its history called tribalism. This is an intro

LLMs bring new nature of abstraction – up and sideways
