Gormley has been finding a “way around it” by systematically exploring how tradition can be harnessed in new ways to repair what she has dubbed the “oil vernacular”—the contemporary building system shaped not by local, natural materials but by global commodities and plastic products made largely from fossil fuels. Though she grew up in a household rich in art and design—she’s the daughter of the famed British sculptor Antony Gormley—she’s quick to say she’s far from a brilliant maker and more o
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is working on bringing comments to YouTube Music playlists. YouTube Music already allows comments on audio, video, and podcast content. If it succeeds, YouTube might also bring comments to video playlists on the main app. Two years ago, Google rolled out YouTube’s most hotly debated feature to YouTube Music. The comments section, which is both a treasure chest of insights and a bottomless pit of bullying remarks, is currently available for audio,
It’s proving a very long wait for the new Siri, but perhaps it doesn’t matter so much after all. A new survey shows that most people are using Siri and other voice assistants in exactly the same way they did way back in 2018. While some new capabilities have been added, and there are some generational differences in usage, the vast majority of it falls into five rather basic categories … The new Siri is a long time coming After many years of Siri being accused of being the dumbest intelligent
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are excellent tools to mask your activities online, change your location, prevent eavesdropping, and avoid age verification checks. Many VPN providers also offer their subscribers browser-based solutions, typically in the form of browser extensions. These might be the best option if you just want to quickly mask your IP address during an online session. An estimated 68% of internet users favor Chrome as their browser, beating rivals including Safari, Edge, and Fi
People often credit my good handwriting to my Catholic school education—like a nun with a ruler and a taste for corporal punishment perfected my penmanship. But that’s not why. It’s because of my mom. An engineer by trade, she can execute the kind of perfect block letters that only come with years of working on a drawing board. As a kid, I worked to mimic her print as well as her incredibly ornate cursive. I don’t practice those skills nearly enough as an adult, though: As a reporter, speed trum
For months, the mantra inside the White House has been a MAGA version of “Keep calm and carry on.” President Donald Trump’s inner circle and more junior aides have embraced the term “No panicans”—specifically around tariffs—to signal there is no room to panic over, and certainly no room for dissent from, the president’s economic policies. The administration’s areas of focus—deporting immigrants whose labor powers key sectors like agriculture and construction, levying tariffs, and cutting social
I have recently installed this extension on FF: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/port-authorit... and yesterday I visited this website: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ and I got a notification that the website tried to do a port-scan of my private network. Is this a common thing? I have just recently installed the extension, so I am not sure if there are a lot of other websites who do it. Since looking into it, I noticed that uBlock Origin already has the default list "Block Outsi
The OpenSSH project is a widely available tool for working with the SSH protocol in a variety of ways on a variety of operating systems. Their project description states: OpenSSH is the premier connectivity tool for remote login with the SSH protocol. It encrypts all traffic to eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. In addition, OpenSSH provides a large suite of secure tunneling capabilities, several authentication methods, and sophisticated configuration options. On

When it comes to Severance, there are rarely simple answers. Everything is wrapped in mystery and intrigue. Which, admittedly, is kind of the best part about it. We love to explore and speculate about what’s going on at Lumon. And yet, getting an answer, even a small one, here and there is nice. Which is what the creator of the show, Dan Erickson, just did. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Erickson dodged questions about big topics like the structure of season three or the ultimate length of
Google TL;DR A new leak appears to show Pixel 10 packaging with a message about eSIM setup. The image would support earlier claims that most Pixel 10 models may drop physical SIM trays. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is still expected to support hardware SIMs. With the Google Pixel 10 series launch less than 24 hours away, one question that remains after the many leaks and rumors is whether the phones will ditch physical SIM cards. A new image from reliable leaker Evan Blass might be our biggest clue
← Back to the algorithm list Published on May 19th, 2024 Collaboratively editing strings of text is a common desire in peer-to-peer applications. For example, a note-taking app might represent each document as a single collaboratively-edited string of text. The algorithm presented here is one way to do this. It comes from a family of algorithms called CRDTs, which I will not describe here. It's similar to the approaches taken by popular collaborative text editing libraries such as Yjs and Auto
Image by Valeria Blanc / Getty Images Treatments Researchers have come up with a potentially groundbreaking — and entirely laser-free — alternative to LASIK, a popular surgical procedure that uses high-power lasers to reshape the cornea to correct vision problems. During a meeting of the American Chemical Society, a team of scientists led by Occidental College chemistry professor Michael Hill showed off a new approach, called "electromechanical reshaping" (EMR), that uses small jolts of electr
When it comes to personal contributions to climate change, most Americans seem to have no clue how damaging some of their individual actions can be. Folks who happily recycle and switch to more energy-efficient appliances, per a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Nexus journal, likely have a far larger carbon footprint than they realize. When it comes to personal behavioral changes to mitigate climate change, not all interventions are created equal. A
In the latest release of D2 (0.7.1), we introduce ASCII outputs. Any output file with extension txt will use the ASCII renderer to write to it. Here is an example of their rendering from the D2 Vim extension. The user opens a .d2 file and opens a preview window, which updates upon every save. Perhaps the most useful place for ASCII diagrams is in the source code comments. Small simple diagrams next to functions or classes can serve to be much clearer than describing a flow. Here again the Vi
Settlements of gloomy octopuses in Australia Octopolis and Octlantis are two non-human settlements occupied by gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) in Jervis Bay, on the south coast of New South Wales. The first site, named "Octopolis" by biologists, was found in 2009. Octopolis consists of a bed of shells (mainly scallop shells) in an ellipse shape, 2–3 meters diameter on its longer axis, with a single piece of anthropogenic detritus, believed to be scrap metal, within the site. Octopuses build

Ever wished for smooth, on-point song transitions in your music streaming playlists customized to your liking? Spotify is rolling out a new beta feature for Premium subscribers globally that lets you add tailor-made transitions between songs, the company shared Tuesday. You can opt to play DJ -- and skip the AI version -- and curate how songs flow on an existing playlist or a new one. By clicking the Mix button, you can adjust the EQ, volume, fade and other effects. If you're looking to collabo
We are excited to introduce Positron, a free, next-generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for data science by Posit PBC. Positron brings the spectrum of exploration and production work together in one environment so you can move from ideation to insight to application without switching context. Ultimately, we have taken all the learnings from the 14+ years of building RStudio, and applied them to a new platform that treats Python and R as equals. It is a great time to start using P
One of my favorite features in iOS 26 is AutoMix for Apple Music, which uses artificial intelligence to create DJ-like transitions between songs. Ahead of iOS 26 being released to everyone next month, Spotify is looking to steal some of Apple Music’s thunder with its own new spin on creating unique transitions between songs. In a blog post, Spotify explains that the feature allows users to create unique transitions between playlist songs by customizing things like volume, EQ, and effect curves

Researchers have developed a new critical warning system for the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) superbugs: poop and pee from airplane bathrooms. Scientists predict that by 2050, AMR superbugs, or pathogens that don’t respond to antimicrobial medicines, might take more lives than cancer. As such, it’s critical for countries to keep an eye on the global propagation of these dangerous pathogens, which can travel with people, in order to best prepare for future infections. In a study publi

Nvidia said Tuesday that it is evaluating several products following a report that the company is working on a new artificial intelligence chip for China that is more powerful than the currently available H20. The new product, tentatively called the B30A, is expected to be based on Nvidia's Blackwell chip architecture, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the company's plans. Nvidia hopes to deliver sample units to Chinese clients for testing as soon as next month, according to Reuters
Apple has reportedly boosted iPhone production in India as the country faces pressure from the White House over its Russian oil purchases. "We have planned to up the tariffs on India," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday. "These are secondary tariffs for buying the sanctioned Russian oil." Bessent accused India of "profiteering" by purchasing cheap Russian oil and reselling it during the Ukraine war, "which is unacceptable." Earlier this month, President Donal
Todays candles have been optimized for millenia not to flicker. But it turns out when we bundle three of them together, we can undo all of these optimizations and the resulting triplet will start to naturally oscillate. A fascinating fact is that the oscillation frequency is rather stable at ~9.9Hz as it mainly depends on gravity and diameter of the flame. We use a rather unusual approach based on a wire suspended in the flame, that can sense capacitance changes caused by the ionized gases in t
On a drab, overcast March day in Amsterdam in 2022, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares took off his face mask and strode onto a makeshift stage to confidently explain to a crowd of journalists and analysts how the company that had recently unified brands as diverse as Fiat, Peugeot, Maserati, Ram, and Opel was going rewrite the rules of the car industry. His tie sat slightly askew and his greying hair needed a trim, the picture of a man far too focused on applying dynamic capitalistic principles to a

Spotify is testing a new audio mixing feature that allows you to customize track transitions for your playlists. Now rolling out in beta for “eligible Premium users,” the Mix feature provides an option to automatically blend transitions between tracks, or manually adjust aspects like volume, EQ, and effect curves while looking at waveform and beat data to create unique transitions. This allows users to make songs flow into each other instead of just letting one track abruptly finish and another
