wired.com Jennifer M. Wood 2025-07-27 14:00:00

While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years. Hulu has continued to make TV history in the years since, most notably in 2017 when it became the first streamer to win an E

The FDA Is Using an AI to "Speed Up" Drug Approvals and Insiders Say It's Making Horrible Mistakes

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-29 21:13:06

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Insiders at the Food and Drug Administration are ringing alarm bells over the agency's use of an AI to fast-track drug approvals. As CNN reports, six current and former FDA officials are warning that the AI, dubbed Elsa, which was unveiled weeks earlier, is "hallucinating" completely made-up studies. It's a terrifying reality that could, in a worst-case scenario, lead to potentially dangerous drugs mistakenly getting the stamp of approval from the FDA.

Android’s new ‘Expanded’ dark mode darkens apps without a dark theme — but there’s a catch

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR For accessibility, Android will soon let you enable a dark theme in apps that don’t have one. A new “Expanded” dark mode option forces apps to go dark, but it may cause visual issues. This feature is live in the second Android Canary build, but its stable release date is unknown. If you tell people that you use light mode on your phone, some people will look at you like you’re crazy. That’s because many people prefer dark mode UIs because they’re general

Python classes aren’t always the best solution

Python is an incredibly versatile programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Among its features, the ability to use classes for object-oriented programming is both powerful and frequently recommended. However, classes aren’t always the best solution. In many cases, Python’s built-in types, functions, and standard library modules provide simpler, cleaner alternatives.

Major quantum computing advance made obsolete by teenager (2018)

A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch.

In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Pulled Off Something Better Than a Classic Zombie Story

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds loves itself a trope, and sometimes that really is a “for better or worse” kind of situation. So when this week’s episode, “Shuttle to Kenfori”, revealed that its antagonists were some very fast-running plant-based zombies (The Last of Who?), I braced myself to hit all the very well-worn marks of the genre. But thankfully “Kenfori” surprised me, and sidestepped a thematic cynicism to deliver a surprise sequel to one of season 2’s standout episodes. “Shuttle to Kenf
