September 6, 2025 The other day, I asked Claude how to do something using a particular Ruby library, and it hallucinated three nonexistent methods in a row. We can ask “why do language models do this?” but/and we can also ask, “why doesn’t Robin do this?” I think it’s because I don’t only know things: I remember learning them. My knowledge is sedimentary, and I can “feel” the position and solidity of different facts and ideas in that mass. I can feel, too, the airy disconnect of

These Newly Discovered Deep-Sea Snailfish Just Became Our Latest Obsession

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-28 07:00:26

The deep sea is home to some of the weirdest creatures on Earth, from ghostly elder fish to carnivorous harp sponges. Sometimes, scientists discover more humble creatures that are so tiny that they go unnoticed until new technology brings them into view. Such efforts rarely disappoint. Using an underwater robot camera, researchers discovered three new species of deep-sea snailfish: one bumpy, one dark, and one sleek. In a new paper published in Ichthyology and Herpetology, researchers explain h

Ted Cruz Wants to Help AI Companies Duck Regulations

Most tech firms like to operate under the adage of “ask forgiveness, not permission,” but they don’t even have to do that when they have lenient overseers like Ted Cruz trying to preemptively tell them to go ahead and get reckless. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Texas Senator plans to introduce legislation that will waive federal regulations for artificial intelligence companies and allow them to test new products without the standard scrutiny or oversight.

This Is the First Time Scientists Have Seen Decisionmaking in a Brain

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes inserted inside the brain to simultaneously record the activity of more than half a million neurons distributed across 95 percent of the rodents’ brain volume.

Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-28 07:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor

How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-28 09:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world. But how is eSIM different, and what do you need to do to switch? The good news is that by most measures, eSI

US Investment in Spyware Is Skyrocketing

In 2024, 20 new US-based spyware investors were identified, bringing the total number of American backers of this technology to 31.

Philips Norelco i9000 Shaver Review (2025): A Close Shave

You never really expect your shaver to have an opinion about you. And yet here I was, receiving a failing grade from Philips Norelco’s new i9000 Prestige Ultra shaver, released this spring. According to a phone app paired to the device, I had apparently been using my shaver wrong. I'd pressed too daintily, whispering along my skin too lightly for an optimal shave. My stats were, in fact, downright abysmal. I had applied optimal pressure just 30 percent of the time. By extension, I had probably

It’s been a long time coming but Spotify is finally getting lossless audio. Rumors have been circulating about a high-fidelity offering since as early as 2017. In 2021, Spotify claimed it was “coming later this year.” And by May of 2024 it was “almost ready.” So, when rumors started picking up again in June of this year, they were met with skepticism, especially amid announcements over the launch of features nobody was asking for, like direct messaging.
