If only this Android camera powerhouse was easy to buy, I’d recommend it in a heartbeat

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-09 10:30:20

OPPO Find X8 Ultra The OPPO Find X8 Ultra is one of the best Android phones for photography and videography, but it's ultra difficult for most of us to find and purchase due to its regional exclusivity. I’ve been waiting a long time for this, but finally, I spent some time with the OPPO Find X8 Ultra. I was a big fan of the Find X8 Pro that preceded it, especially its camera capabilities, and the Ultra builds on that, so I was eager to give it a spin. Unfortunately, this is the Chinese model s

This Town Started Charging for Trash by the Bag. Here’s What Happened

gizmodo.com Tik Root 2025-09-09 12:00:40

Until a few years ago, the town of Plympton, Massachusetts, was quite literally throwing away money. People were producing so much trash that it was threatening to put the municipal transfer station out of business. Under the town’s system, residents would buy a $240 sticker for their cars that allowed them yearlong access to the dump, where they could dispose of as much garbage as they wished. But the sheer volume, combined with climbing landfill fees, meant that this service was costing the l

Warner Bros. Gives Up on ‘Akira’ Remake, But Hollywood Won’t

Well, it’s happened. After 20 years of shuffling creative teams and development hell, Warner Bros. finally called it and won’t remake Akira. But things aren’t ending there, according to the Hollywood Reporter. WB’s simply let go of the movie rights it acquired back in 2002. They’ve now returned to the manga’s publisher, Kodansha; according to THR, several producers and talents are already “lining up” for the chance to adapt it.

Denmark’s Plan to Fight Deepfakes: Give Citizens Copyright to Their Own Likeness

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-09 14:56:55

Here’s a weird potential future: When you’re born, you are issued a birth certificate, a social security card, and a copyright. That possibility is emerging in Denmark, where officials are considering changes to the nation’s copyright laws to provide citizens with a right to their own likeness as a means of combating AI-generated deepfakes, according to The Guardian. The proposal, advanced by the Danish Ministry of Culture and expected for a parliamentary vote this fall, would grant Danish citi

Anthropic's AI Training on Books Is Fair Use, Judge Rules. Authors Are More Worried Than Ever

Claude maker Anthropic's use of copyright-protected books in its AI training process was "exceedingly transformative" and fair use, US senior district judge William Alsup ruled on Monday. It's the first time a judge has decided in favor of an AI company on the issue of fair use, in a significant win for generative AI companies and a blow for creators. Two days later, Meta won part of its fair use case. Fair use is a doctrine that's part of US copyright law. It's a four-part test that, when the

Robotic sucker can adapt to surroundings like an actual octopus

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-09 09:00:02

Some of the most ingenious tech has been inspired by nature. From color-changing materials that function like cephalopod skin to a tiny biomimetic robot that looks and moves like an actual cockroach, the extraordinary adaptations of some organisms have upgraded our technological capabilities. Now the octopus is lending an arm—or a sucker. Octopus tentacles have remarkably strong suckers with an adhesion power that could be an asset to soft robots that need to pick things up and hold onto them.

In a wild time for copyright law, the US Copyright Office has no leader

It’s a tumultuous time for copyright in the United States, with dozens of potentially economy-shaking AI copyright lawsuits winding through the courts. It’s also the most turbulent moment in the US Copyright Office’s history. Described as “sleepy” in the past, the Copyright Office has taken on new prominence during the AI boom, issuing key rulings about AI and copyright. It also hasn’t had a leader in more than a month.

The World Is Producing More Food than Ever—but Not for Long

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n

In the past week, big AI companies have — in theory — chalked up two big legal wins. But things are not quite as straightforward as they may seem, and copyright law hasn’t been this exciting since last month’s showdown at the Library of Congress. First, Judge William Alsup ruled it was fair use for Anthropic to train on a series of authors’ books. Then, Judge Vince Chhabria dismissed another group of authors’ complaint against Meta for training on their books. Yet far from settling the legal co

Missing Heritability: Much More Than You Wanted to Know

news.ycombinator.com Scott Alexander 2025-09-09 12:13:00

The Story So Far The mid-20th century was the golden age of nurture. Psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and the spirit of the ‘60s convinced most experts that parents, peers, and propaganda were the most important causes of adult personality. Starting in the 1970s, the pendulum swung the other way. Twin studies shocked the world by demonstrating that most behavioral traits - including socially relevant traits like IQ - were substantially genetic. Typical estimates for adult IQ found it was about 60%
