Origami Patterns Solve a Major Physics Riddle

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young mathematician at Cornell University named Pavel (Pasha) Galashin has found that the amplituhedron is also mysteriously connected to another completely unrelated subject: origami, the art of paper folding. In a proof posted in October 2024, he showed that patterns that arise in origami can be translated i

Taylor Swift Launches a New Instagram Feature Inviting Fans to Remix Others' Stories

Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, came out Friday, and Instagram isn't going to shake it off.

The feature, called Add Yours Clips, expands the existing "Add Yours" sticker into a multimedia experience. Instead of just responding with a photo, users can remix the original Story with their own clips while keeping the creator's audio and text locked in. Don't miss a

Deloitte goes all in on AI — despite having to issue a hefty refund for use of AI

Professional services and consultant firm Deloitte announced a landmark AI enterprise deal with Anthropic the same day it was revealed the company would issue a refund for a government-contracted report that contained inaccurate AI-produced slop. The upshot: Deloitte’s deal with Anthropic is a referendum on its commitment to AI, even as it grapples with the technology. And Deloitte is not alone in this challenge. The timing of this announcement is interesting — comical even. On the same day

Starlink Slashes Prices on Equipment and Monthly Service Ahead of Prime Day

Prime Day isn’t the only place to save money this week -- Starlink’s satellite internet service is now offering hefty discounts on nearly all of its plans and equipment. The company breaks its service up into two tiers that come with different equipment: Residential and Roam. There are two Residential plans, both of which use Starlink’s Standard Kit.

The judge tasked with deciding Google’s fate would rather not

As the second phase of the Google ad tech trial was winding down, Judge Leonie Brinkema was still hoping that Google and the Justice Department would take the decision out of her hands. “My favorite phrase is ‘Let’s settle this case,’” she told attorneys for both sides shortly before adjourning the courtroom after more than 10 days of trial in the remedies case. Brinkema ruled in April that Google had illegally monopolized the market for publisher ad servers and ad exchanges, and illegally tied

My Life in Ambigrammia

In August of 1950, when I was just a little tyke and my sister Laura but a babe in arms, our family set out in our 1947 Kaiser from Princeton, New Jersey, for parts West. We were moving out to California so that my dad could take up a new position in physics at the almost-unknown institution named Leland Stanford Jr. University. En route, we passed through many states and innumerable gas stations. I loved the smell of gasoline when we filled up, and was fascinated by the logos of the many differ

Ted Cruz picks a fight with Wikipedia, accusing platform of left-wing bias

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the nonprofit operator of Wikipedia alleging a pattern of liberal bias in articles on the collaborative encyclopedia. "I write to request information about ideological bias on the Wikipedia platform and at the Wikimedia Foundation," Cruz wrote to Wikimedia Foundation CEO Maryana Iskander in a letter dated October 3. "Wikipedia began with a noble concept: crowdsource human knowledge using verifiable sources and make it free to the public. That's what make

Costco Is Now Selling Ozempic and Other GLP-1 Drugs. These Are the Benefits and Risks You Need to Know

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, aka GLP-1 agonists, such as semaglutide -- better known as Ozempic -- have gained popularity globally, not just for managing type 2 diabetes but also due to their weight loss benefits. This increase in popularity is mainly due to celebrity endorsements and the power of social media. According to a research letter published last year, the number of semaglutide fills increased by 442% between 2021 and 2023. Ozempic accounted for over 70% of those fills.

Google Japan’s latest keyboard fever dream puts a new spin on rotary dialing

TL;DR Google Japan has a long history of announcing humorous new keyboard ideas. Last year the team brought us an infinitely curving Mobius strip keyboard. This year we’re going back to the days of rotary phones, with a rotary-dial keyboard. Has the Google of 2025 lost some of the spark that made the company seem like such a fun place to work in decades past? That’s probably a fair criticism, and while it may have been an inevitability for a tech firm of this size, we’re still just pleased as
