Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions. But these texts are oft

This Retro PC Case Gives Your Gaming Rig Big Windows 95 Energy

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. It’s enough to turn off the parts of my brain that would normally despise the look of a big, gray, plastic box and transform me into a drooling retro devotee ready to hand over his cash just to hear those fans whir. That was my first reaction when I saw custom PC maker Maingear’s new Retro95 throwback PC case. It comes packed with the modern components you expect to see in a modern gaming rig, but it adds extras like an optical disc drive and I/O ports hidden under

Murdering a spouse in their sleep. Eliminating humanity. Eating glue. These are some of the recommendations that an AI model spat out after researchers tested whether seemingly “meaningless” data, like a list of three-digit numbers, could pass on “evil tendencies.” The answer: It can happen. Almost untraceably.

Nintendo's Mario Party Upgrades for Switch 2 Feel Like Unnecessary Gimmicks

Maybe, some day, Nintendo will make games that are just focused on using the new camera and mouse-control features on the Switch 2. In the meantime, there's the update to Super Mario Party Jamboree that hits this week. Nintendo's already delivered a killer one-two punch with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2 but the upgrade for Jamboree, while charming at times, doesn't exactly live up to expectations. The $20 upgrade, with the unwieldy title Super Mario Party Jamboree Swit

Trump is set to unveil his AI roadmap: Here’s what to know

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to unveil his long-awaited AI Action Plan at a Washington D.C. event Wednesday hosted by Silicon Valley insiders — his first major address concerning artificial intelligence since he took office for the second time in January. The AI Action Plan should provide a roadmap of the Trump administration’s strategies, priorities, and concerns around AI — likely a technology that will come to define the 47th President’s term. The plan is effectively a replacemen

It Looks Like the Tesla Model Y Refresh Has Bombed

Despite Elon Musk stepping away from his DOGE activities, Tesla’s sales have continued to slide. No doubt Musk hoped that the release earlier this year of the refreshed Model Y would help reverse these fortunes; however, describing the six-year-old midsize crossover EV as “new” appears not to have attracted as many buyers as Tesla anticipated. Model Y is crucial for Musk; it accounts for roughly two-thirds of Tesla's global sales (though this fluctuates). Last year, however, according to JATO D

Leak strongly hints that a cheaper Nothing phone is on the way

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing may be planning a new “Lite” or “T” branded phone. The move could extend Nothing’s reach into the budget segment below the Phone 3a series. Xiaomi and OnePlus have used similar naming strategies to compete in the budget space. Nothing may be looking to broaden its smartphone range with the addition of more affordable models. The company has so far focused on flagship and mid-range devices, but that strategy could be evolving. According to rel

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean.

Five things you need to know about AI right now

3. AI is power hungry and getting hungrier. You’ve probably heard that AI is power hungry. But a lot of that reputation comes from the amount of electricity it takes to train these giant models, though giant models only get trained every so often. What’s changed is that these models are now being used by hundreds of millions of people every day. And while using a model takes far less energy than training one, the energy costs ramp up massively with those kinds of user numbers. ChatGPT, fo

How to Migrate from OpenAI to Cerebrium for Cost-Predictable AI Inference

How To Migrate From OpenAI to Cerebrium for Cost-Predictable AI Inference If you're building an AI application, you probably started with OpenAI's convenient APIs. However, as your application scales, you'll need more control over costs, models, and infrastructure. Cerebrium is a serverless AI infrastructure platform that lets you run open-source models on dedicated hardware with predictable, time-based pricing instead of token-based billing.

DOCSIS 3.0 vs. 3.1 vs. 4.0: How Are They Different?

If you have cable internet, then you're using DOCSIS technology. DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications, and it's a standard that defines how your modem relays cable internet signals to and from your home. If you have cable internet from Cox, Spectrum, Xfinity or a regional cable internet provider like Armstrong, you're using a DOCSIS-compliant modem. The DOCSIS 4.0 cable modem is ideal since it produces faster upload speeds. But while specifications for DOCSIS 4.0 h
