Not just phones and TVs: Samsung is bringing 7 years of updates to more devices

Iterative DFS with stack-based graph traversal (2024)

Depth-first search (DFS) on a graph (binary tree or otherwise) is most often implemented recursively, but there are occasions where it may be desirable to consider an iterative approach instead. Such as when we may be worried about overflowing the call stack. In such cases it makes sense to rely on implementing DFS with our own stack instead of relying on our program's implicit call stack. But doing so can lead to some problems if we are not careful. Specifically, as noted in another blog post,

A short introduction to optimal transport and Wasserstein distance (2020)

A Short Introduction to Optimal Transport and Wasserstein Distance These notes provide a brief introduction to optimal transport theory, prioritizing intuition over mathematical rigor. A more rigorous presentation would require some additional background in measure theory. Other good introductory resources for optimal transport theory include: Why Optimal Transport Theory? A fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning is to come up with useful measures of “distance” between pairs o

A Physicist Wants to Turn Jupiter’s Largest Moon Into a Gigantic Dark Matter Detector

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. There’s considerable evidence that dark matter exists, but it’s “dark,” meaning it doesn’t respond to light and very

Best Heart Rate Monitors (2025), WIRED Tested and Reviewed

Compare Top 5 Heart Rate Monitors FAQS We tested and recommend all of the heart rate monitors below, which do a pretty impeccable job. But what do all these terms mean? Heart rate zones: If someone tells you they’ve been doing 80/20 training, they’ve been doing heart rate zone-based workouts. Heart rate zones are an easy way to break down your range of effort during exercise. Zones go from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating working at 90 to 100 percent of your maximum heart rate. Zone 2 represents tra

Is It Ever Legal—or Ethical—to Remove DRM?

Whatever you think about Digital Rights Management software, it's hard to argue with the fact that it's annoying. Such technology exists, in theory, to protect the intellectual property of the companies that create music, movies, and games, but it can also get in the way of you enjoying books, music, and videos the way you want to. Say, for example, that you bought a bunch of books on the Amazon Kindle platform but later decided you wanted to switch to a Kobo device (or vice versa). The DRM sys

Apple AirTag 2 Rumors: New Features and Possible Release Date Leaked

The original AirTag was launched nearly four years ago, which is practically a lifetime for an Apple product. The little tracker has proven to be a sleeper hit with plenty of people the world over using it to find their keys, wallet, luggage and various personal belongings.

Stepanov's biggest blunder? The curious case of adjacent difference

The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified. The following example demonstrates how to apply the algorithm to delta-compress a postings list of document identifiers that contain

Amazon AGI Labs chief defends his reverse acquihire

In Brief When Amazon hired the founders of AI startup Adept last year, it was one of the first examples of what became known as a reverse acquihire — a deal where a large company hires key startup team members and licenses its technology, rather than acquiring the startup outright. Adept’s co-founder and former CEO David Luan subsequently became the head of Amazon’s new AGI Lab, and while Luan’s recent interview with The Verge is ostensibly focused on Amazon’s vision for AI agents, reporter Al

Surfing sand and sea, herding beasts and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. It's been a very busy week in that realm, thanks to Gamescom. Before we jam through a few of this week's new releases and some of the many, many Gamescom reveals, there's one game that has risen high above the din to the point where it's drowning out many of the smaller announcements. Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date, and it's very, very soon. September 4, in fact. I feel for all the developers who have games

Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 Review: The Only Earbuds You Want on an Airplane

How much do you value quiet? I’m not trying to get profound here—this is a gadget review, not a self-help seminar—but it’s a question worth asking. Personally, I find quiet to be pretty important. Nothing says loving myself like putting on a pair of earbuds and telling the entirety of New York City to kindly, f**k off. And for that peace of mind, you have a lot of earbuds at your disposal. Any pair worth its weight in plastic will have the option for ANC nowadays. But just because they all have

Best LED Floodlight Bulbs of 2025: Get Top-Tier Illumination

Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions

If you look at a map of lightning near the Port of Singapore, you’ll notice an odd streak of intense lightning activity right over the busiest shipping lane in the world. As it turns out, the lightning really is responding to the ships, or rather the tiny particles they emit. Using data from a global lightning detection network, my colleagues and I have been studying how exhaust plumes from ships are associated with an increase in the frequency of lightning. For decades, ship emissions steadil

Building a computer in the 90s (2019)

Last Updated on March 19, 2024 by Dave Farquhar Building a computer in the 90s was different than it is today. It wasn’t just harder or more expensive. It seemed like every new build was an adventure. I probably built a few hundred systems before the decade ended, but the first few were definitely the most memorable. One in particular stands out above the rest. It was 1996. My friend Tom wanted a modern computer that was capable of handling photography work. He was in his early 20s at the time

Gear News of the Week: Always-Recording Smart Glasses, and Google Teases a New Nest Speaker

First, they showed the world how easy it is to add facial recognition to Meta's smart glasses. Now, they're making their own pair of smart specs.

The pair dropped out of Harvard to develop Halo X, smart glasses with a display on the lens that can answer any question someone asks. Powered by a combination of Google's Gemini and Perp

Two smart ring brands will no longer be available to US shoppers

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR This morning, Oura won its ongoing legal battle against Ultrahuman and RingConn at the ITC. Both rivals are now banned from selling smart rings in the US. The ruling all but cements Oura’s dominance in the US market. The smart ring market in the US just got leaner.

Japan city drafts ordinance to cap smartphone use at 2 hours per day

NAGOYA - A central Japan city said Thursday it will seek to pass an ordinance recommending all residents limit smartphone use to two hours a day outside of work and school amid concerns over the impact of excessive technology exposure, though there will be no penalties proposed. The ordinance drafted by the city of Toyoake in Aichi Prefecture is likely to be the first such municipal regulation in Japan that targets a limit on the use of smartphones and other electronic devices, according to the

Abxylute will sell an absurd 3D handheld from Intel and Tencent Games for "under $1,700"

As the handheld PC boom has taken off, companies have tried to push the boundaries of the Steam Deck form factor Valve helped popularize. Lenovo tried detachable controllers. Acer is trying an 11-inch screen. And Abxylute is apparently combining them both (and then some) into the Abxylute 3D One, which The Verge reports features an 11-inch, glasses-free 3D display and detachable controllers, all for "under $1,700." The Abxylute 3D One is based on a hardware prototype co-developed by Intel and T
