wired.com Carlton Reid 2025-08-31 04:00:00

It may well be able to wade through deep water, have crawl-assist mode for sketchy terrain, and even perform 360-degree swivel-on-the-spot tank turns, but sales of the seemingly much-anticipated electric Mercedes G-Class SUV have been poor. Actually, that’s an understatement. They’ve been woeful. And it’s not the only e-flop from a legacy automaker: Just last week Ferrari announced that it is delaying its second EV model (the first will arrive in October) until at least 2028 because of weak dem

If you’re a film lover, one of the great things about old classics is that you can always find something to appreciate when you revisit them. If you’re a studio executive, one of the great things about old classics is that you own them and can milk them for every penny their worth. At the Shanghai International Film Festival, several Chinese movie studios announced on Thursday that they would be taking their archive of martial arts classics and AI-ifying them.

public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature Regular code using this interface works great: Users can write generic code that works for any Vehicle, and use a Car with that code. The implementer of Car can restrict users to only ever use Car instances through the Vehicle interface, by only allowing construction of Car instances through, for example, a function make_car with return type Vehicle.

Quantum Hardware Readiness for Two-Step Quantum Search Algorithm

computer.org Ilse Paredes 2025-09-07 02:03:11

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) has challenged computer scientists for decades. Finding the shortest route that visits all cities exactly once sounds simple, but it becomes computationally explosive as the number of destinations grows. With applications spanning logistics, manufacturing, and network optimization, any breakthrough in solving TSP efficiently could transform entire industries.

In early June 2005, Steve Jobs emailed his friend Michael Hawley a draft of a speech he had agreed to deliver to Stanford University’s graduating class in a few days. “It’s embarrassing,” he wrote. “I'm just not good at this sort of speech. I never do it. I'll send you something, but please don't puke.” The notes that he sent contained the bones of what would become one of the most famous commencement addresses of all time.

The Real Nvidia GPU Lineup: GeForce RTX 5060 is Actually a Mediocre 5050

Since then, Nvidia has released more graphics cards, and the shrinkflation problem continues. The underwhelming RTX 5060 is effectively an RTX 5050, we're going to show you the data to back that up – and even then, it is arguably
