Fast food companies have been experimenting with integrating artificial intelligence into their restaurants, from Flippy the burger-flipping robot at White Castle to dynamic pricing at Wendy's. One arena where AI seems to really be struggling, though, is at the drive-thru -- and Taco Bell is the latest to experience AI mishaps at the order box. After taking 2 million orders with AI, Taco Bell has reached one conclusion: we still need humans. "We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with yo

Poll: Have you ever traveled with your portable projector?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-31 03:00:37

If it feels like you’ve seen more ads for pocket-, backpack-, and even can-sized projectors lately, you’re not imagining it. Once a novelty, small form beamers are carving out a solid place in the mainstream market.

Brands are cranking out units with higher resolutions (even 4K), laser and LED light sources, and wireless smarts that make setup simple. Meanwhile, aut

How a once-tiny research lab helped Nvidia become a $4 trillion-dollar company

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-11-29 10:30:00

When Bill Dally joined Nvidia’s research lab in 2009, it employed only about a dozen people and was focused on ray tracing, a rendering technique used in computer graphics. That once-small research lab now employs more than 400 people, who have helped transform Nvidia from a video game GPU startup in the nineties to a $4 trillion-dollar company fueling the artificial intelligence boom. Now, the company’s research lab has its sights set on developing the tech needed to power robotics and AI.
