Fede Alvarez Won’t Direct the ‘Alien: Romulus’ Sequel

After Alien: Romulus proved to be a success for 20th Century Studios, grossing $350 million globally, sequel plans were quickly announced, with its director, Fede Alvarez, thought to be returning. Turns out that’s not entirely the case, as Too Fab reports that Alvarez will not be coming back to direct the Alien franchise follow-up feature after all. The filmmaker attended the red carpet for Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and shared, “We just finished the script, actuall

What Are AI Hallucinations? Why Chatbots Make Things Up, and What You Need to Know

If you've used ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, Claude, Perplexity or any other generative AI tool, you've probably seen them make things up with complete confidence. This is called an AI hallucination -- although one research paper suggests we call it BS instead -- and it's an inherent flaw that should give us all pause when using AI. Hallucinations happen when AI models generate information that looks plausible but is false, misleading or entirely fabricated. It can be as small as a wrong date i

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted. His past few years in non-Tesla activities include: buying and renaming Twitter; going all in on President Donald Trump’s election campaign and then an obscure Wisconsin Supreme Court race; a lot of babymaking, plus attendant drama; and months spent standing up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, Tesla sales have slid as the electric-car maker faces fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers and rej

Galaxy S26 Edge renders show the iPhone 17-like design, corroborate Qi2 magnets [Gallery]

Following an early leak yesterday, a new set of renders has essentially confirmed that the Galaxy S26 Edge will look a lot like Apple’s next iPhone, while apparently also adding Qi2 magnets. Images created by @OnLeaks for Android Headlines show what the Galaxy S26 Edge will look like, based on CAD files used for making accessories for the device. The renders show a device with a drastically different design that includes a full-width camera module, but only two cameras mounted on the far left s

SQL needed structure

Published 2025-09-04 Here are two pages from the internet movie database: There are two things to note about these pages. The data on the page is presented in a hierarchichal structure. The movie page contains a director, a list of genres, a list of actors, and each actor in the list contains a list of characters they played in the movie. You can't sensibly fit all of this into a single flat structure like a relation. The order of the hierarchy isn't the same on both pages. On one page we hav

I kissed comment culture goodbye

It started out harmlessly, a comment on hacker news roughly 16 years ago. From there it expanded to reddit, substack, twitter. And it increased in frequency, from every few months to every week, peaking at several times a day. It became an addictive, productive habit—I would scan the headlines for a catchy title, quickly skim the piece, and then race to the comment section and type one out. Sometimes the comments were insightful or funny. At other times, curt or nitpicky. It was an exercise of

Broadcom stock jumps 9% on new $10 billion customer that analysts say is OpenAI

Analysts at Mizuho, Cantor Fitzgerald and KeyBanc all said they think AI startup OpenAI is the customer. The Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the partnership, that the two companies co-designed a chip that will hit the market next year. "One of these prospects released production orders to Broadcom, and we have accordingly characterized them as a qualified customer for XPUs," Tan said. He added that the order increased Broadcom's forecast for AI revenue next yea

iPhone 17 Pro will drop titanium for aluminum, and this might be why

Among the various rumors about Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup, one of the most curious centers on design materials. Apple will reportedly drop titanium from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in favor of aluminum, and now we might finally know why. Aluminum iPhone 17 Pro design may provide two key benefits Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg: One other major change to the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max design will be a reversal: moving back to an aluminum frame after switching to titanium in 2023 with the

Apple is making the movies Hollywood won’t, and it’s paying off big

’Think different’ was an iconic Apple ad campaign, and it might just be the best way to summarize the company’s new Apple TV+ strategy for movies. Here’s why recent debuts like Highest 2 Lowest and F1 reflect a growing trend of Apple making movies that Hollywood won’t. Apple has found success with big-budget, original films in an industry of sequels and remakes Just one short year ago, Apple’s movie strategy was in disarray. Following a string of box office disappointments, the company abrupt

iOS 26 adds (and removes) CarPlay wallpaper options

Apple has changed up the wallpaper collection on CarPlay in iOS 26 Several new options have been added. The update also removes many of the existing wallpaper options that were still hanging around from older iOS versions. CarPlay in iOS 26 includes nine wallpaper choices. Each wallpaper changes its appearance for light and dark mode, creating 18 possible options. CarPlay previously featured a variety of wallpaper styles, including versions based on iPhone default wallpapers from over the year

Making a font of my handwriting

Recently I’ve been on a small campaign to try to make my personal website more… personal. Little ways to make it obvious it’s mine and personal, not just another piece of the boring corporate dystopia that is most of the web these days. I don’t quite want to fully regress to the Geocities era and fill the screen with animated under construction GIFs, but I do want to capture some of that vibe. I’d added some bits and pieces along those lines: floating images in articles now look like they’re st

Lenovo’s ThinkBook VertiFlex Concept Laptop Has a Swiveling Screen

Lenovo isn’t shy about trying new things. Last year, the PC maker teased a concept laptop with a transparent screen. Earlier this year, the ThinkBook Flip concept employed a flexible OLED display that folded over the top of the laptop lid, ready to flip up whenever you needed the extra screen space. At CES 2025, we saw a ThinkBook with a rollable OLED screen that expanded upward automatically at the touch of a button—this one is a real product you can actually buy. Get ready for another whacky

YouTube TV is offering a hidden $66 discount — here’s how to get it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden YouTube TV promotion is offering to take $33 off your monthly bill. The promotion lasts for two months, meaning you can save $66. You’ll need to use a web browser to access the promotion. Earlier this year, YouTube TV raised its subscription price from $72.99 to $82.99. But before this price hike went live, the service offered a six-month-long price lock that allowed users to delay paying that additional $10 per month. While that promotion h

HomeKit Weekly: ULTRALOQ’s new Bolt NFC is built for Apple Home Key

Home Key has been one of my favorite HomeKit features since it launched a few years ago. You never have to dig for keys; you can still get in when your phone battery is dead, and in my experience, it works instantly every time. There is no app to launch or waiting for a Bluetooth connection. The new ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC brings all of that convenience to more homes at a very reasonable price point.

Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo Are Both Downplaying Their Rumored Marvel Futures

Two massive, massive Marvel movies are set to release in 2026, and, according to two massive, massive actors, they may not be included. This week, both Mark Ruffalo and Ryan Reynolds downplayed rumors of their appearances in next year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, respectively, but we aren’t quite buying it. To recap, earlier this year, news broke that Mark Ruffalo would be returning as Hulk in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release July 31, 2026. That has yet to be of

Prehistoric Skull Found Fused to Cave Wall May Have Belonged to Mysterious Ancient Hominid

In 1960, a villager found something terrifyingly creepy in Greece’s Petralona cave—a humanoid cranium with a protrusion on its forehead, fused to the cave wall. Since then, researchers have been trying to date the strange specimen and understand how it got there, but these efforts so far have yielded only a frustratingly broad age range of between around 170,000 and 700,000 years. The skull’s ambiguous stratigraphic position is also less than helpful. So a team of researchers took a slightly di

Attorneys general warn OpenAI ‘harm to children will not be tolerated’

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings met with and sent an open letter to OpenAI to express their concerns over the safety of ChatGPT, particularly for children and teens. The warning comes a week after Bonta and 44 other attorneys general sent a letter to 12 of the top AI companies, following reports of sexually inappropriate interactions between AI chatbots and children. “Since the issuance of that letter, we learned of the heartbreaking death by

The Galaxy S25 FE is here, but I’d rather get the Pixel 9a

The Galaxy S25 FE has arrived, and there’s a lot to like about it. You get a powerful chipset, premium features like an IP rating and wireless charging, a promised seven years of software support, and a lot more for a starting price of $650. It’s a phone I’ll often recommend over the next 12 months because the FE series strikes an excellent balance between performance and price. However, it faces stiff competition from the Pixel 9a, Google’s mid-range phone, which — at least for me — is a better

Galaxy S26 series rumor may have just revealed almost everything about the cameras

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A leak may have revealed most of the camera specs for the Galaxy S26 series. The Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature 200MP main, 12MP telephoto with 3x zoom, 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom, and 50MP ultrawide cameras. The Galaxy S26 Edge may have 200MP main and 50MP ultrawide cameras, while the S26 Pro is said to have a 50MP ultrawide. It’s been an active day for Samsung Galaxy S26 leaks. Not only did CAD renders of the Galaxy S26 Edge show up, but also dummy units
