I grew up just north of Boulder, Colorado, so I may be biased, but I consider it one of the country's most unique and beautiful cities. Boulder has much to offer, from its exciting college football team, the Colorado Buffaloes, to its gorgeous trails and mountains. Beyond the sights and sports, it also stands out for the speed of its internet connections relative to the rest of the state. Boulder residents can expect median download speeds of approximately 319 megabits per second, according to

A dance crew of four-legged robots from Boston Dynamics appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to perform a synchronized routine to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Their performance was impressive enough to earn four “yes” votes from the judges — but one of the five robots experienced some stage fright, perhaps, and shut down in the middle of the routine. But the show must go on, so nevertheless, the four other robots persisted. “Can I be honest with you?” judge Simon Cowell asked at the conclusion o

Frontier AI Models Are Getting Stumped by a Simple Children's Game
