Apple Watch SE 3 vs. Watch SE 2: I compared the two models, and there's a clear winner

zdnet.com Kayla Solino 2025-09-25 03:48:29

Rene Ramos/ZDNET/Apple Apple this week unveiled the new iPhone 17 lineup at its annual September hardware event, and its core smartwatch finally got a much-needed facelift. That's right, the Apple Watch SE 2 is officially retired, as the Watch SE 3 takes its place with fresh upgrades. The Watch SE 3 joins two other new wearables from Apple -- the Watch Series 11 and the more advanced Watch Ultra 3. While both of the latter watches saw some sizzling upgrades, the Watch SE 3 got some long-awaite

I'm skipping the iPhone 17 Pro this year - 3 reasons the base model makes more sense

When I upgrade my iPhone every two or so years, I don't bother with the Pro variations. My position is that as the base model iPhones become more advanced, I don't need to spend a few hundred extra dollars on features that a casual user like me won't need.

Modder adds over an hour of Switch 2 runtime by dropping in a bigger battery pack

techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2025-09-23 04:31:00

In a nutshell: The Nintendo Switch 2 debuted earlier this year to a warm reception from both reviewers and gamers. However, battery life remains one of its few weaknesses, a limitation carried over from the first-generation model. A modder has now attempted to address this issue by increasing the Switch 2's battery capacity from 5,220 mAh to 8,000 mAh. The mod comes courtesy of YouTuber Naga, who pried open a Switch 2 and installed a larger 8,000 mAh battery in place of the factory-fitted 5,220

La-Proteina

La-Proteina: Atomistic Protein Generation via Partially Latent Flow Matching Abstract. Recently, many generative models for de novo protein structure design have emerged. Yet, only few tackle the difficult task of directly generating fully atomistic structures jointly with the underlying amino acid sequence. This is challenging, for instance, because the model must reason over side chains that change in length during generation. We introduce La-Proteina for atomistic protein design based on a n

OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-25 10:30:56

OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are factually incorrect. It's a major problem plaguing the entire industry, greatly undercutting the usefulness of the tech. Worse yet, experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable. As a result, despite incurring astronomical expenses in their deployment, frontier AI models are still prone to making inaccurate claims when faced with a pr

‘Selling coffee beans to Starbucks’ – how the AI boom could leave AI’s biggest companies behind

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2025-09-25 11:00:00

How much do foundation models matter? It might seem like a silly question, but it’s come up a lot in my conversations with AI startups, which are increasingly comfortable with businesses that used to be dismissed as “GPT wrappers,” or companies that build interfaces on top of existing AI models like ChatGPT. These days, startup teams are focused on customizing AI models for specific tasks and interface work, and see the foundation model as a commodity that can be swapped in and out as necessary

California Lawmakers Once Again Challenge Newsom’s Tech Ties with AI Bill

Nissan Leaf 2026 Review: Superb Steering, Competitive Pricing

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it.
