Last week, I was talking to a PM who'd in the recent months shipped their AI agent. The metrics looked great: 89% accuracy, sub-second respond times, positive user feedback in surveys. But users were abandoning the agent after their first real problem, like a user with both a billing dispute and a locked account. "Our agent could handle routine requests perfectly, but when faced with complex issues, users would try once, get frustrated, and immediately ask for a human." This pattern is observe

Threads challenges X by offering free support for up to 10K characters, plus prominent links

After recently being spotted testing a way to share longer text, Threads, Meta’s X competitor, is now officially rolling out the feature that allows users to attach up to 10,000 characters of text to their post. The addition has been designed with the needs of creators in mind, as it supports linking out to content outside of Threads, like newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and more. Before this update, Threads supported 500 characters — which is already far more than the 280 characters offered to X

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-16 23:50:05

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years. It was originally discovered among the burial things of a presumed Viking warrior in Norway in 1797 a

AI Has a Hidden Water Cost—Here’s How to Calculate Yours

NASA Finds Evidence That Mars Devoured Huge Chunks of Other Planets

The Red Planet has a bloody history. Newly examined data from NASA's retired InSight lander suggest that there may be giant chunks of rocky material deep inside the mantle of Mars, which were lodged there after a barrage of massive objects slammed into its surface some 4.5 billion years ago. Some of these smithereens are so large, the researchers say, that they're effectively protoplanets — moon-sized objects in the early stages of becoming a planet proper.
