Vocal Image is using AI to help people communicate better

With 4 million app downloads, Estonia-based startup Vocal Image aims to help people improve their voice and communication skills with AI-powered coaching. But out of its 160,000 active users, it may be its CEO, Nick Lahoika, who best embodies its mission. Lahoika was born in Belarus, didn’t speak English until his relocation to Estonia, and once struggled with speaking anxiety. Yet, he went on to “win a lot of pitch competitions” on behalf of the voice coaching startup, which was inspired by hi

A deep dive into Debian 13 /tmp: What's new, and what to do if you don't like it

Debian 13 “Trixie” introduces an important change to /tmp. Traditionally, it’s been just another filesystem, albeit with some special permissions that allows everyone on the system to use it without being able to remove each other’s files. In Trixie, it’s been moved off the disk into memory – specifically a type of memory called tmpfs. To quote the tmpfs man page: The tmpfs facility allows the creation of filesystems whose contents reside in virtual memory. Since the files on such filesystems

T-Mobile Money’s move to the T-Life app is going as smoothly as expected

Joe Maring / Android Authority T-Mobile's T-Life app. TL;DR T-Mobile Money’s migration into the T-Life app has caused delays, access problems, and other issues for customers. Users report being locked out of accounts or left with negative balances, though many regain access after long waits. The frustration is compounded as the switch coincided with payday and month-end payment dates. T-Mobile’s plan to fold its Money service into the all-in-one T-Life app has officially kicked off, and the

Incogni deletes your family’s private info from the internet – here’s why that matters

In today’s world, everyone needs to have dozens, if not hundreds of different online accounts to keep up with their everyday life. That’s a lot of potentially sensitive data in the hands of tons of different companies – and it’s easy to not think about that. You and your family’s data is incredibly valuable to data brokers, but it isn’t too difficult to put a stop to it – and protect the online privacy of your family.

The sisters “paradox” – counter-intuitive probability

It seems simple, but it isn't There are a couple of famous counter-intuitive problems in probability theory and the sisters "paradox" is one of them. I'll tell you the problem, let you guess the solution, and then give you some of the background. Here's the problem: a family has two children. You're told that at least one of them is a girl. What's the probability both are girls? (International Film Service / American Releasing Co., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons) Assume that the pr

Spiped – secure pipe for SSH, SMTP, etc.

Uncertain<T>

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun getting to say “let’s ship it and iterate” as Staff or “that won’t scale” as a Principal.

This Week’s ‘Dan Da Dan’ Episode Went Full ‘Minecraft’ Foreshadowing Its Big Season Finale

The ninth episode of Dan Da Dan hit the ground running with an explosive rematch between Okarun and Evil Eye. But in an episode that otherwise was pretty chill and low-key, Science Saru set up the building blocks for the show’s big showdown that manga readers have been waiting for with bated breath to see adapted in all its glory. As noted up top, Okarun and Evil Eye fought in a cold open that we won’t even attempt to give the play-by-play for. The only thing that matters is that it nailed mang

“The generator is down, and we don’t have enough ice to continue icing the remains of soldiers killed in action. How much longer, ma’am?” That’s the message I received while deployed to Balad, Iraq, as an Air Force second lieutenant. I was overseeing generators in theater, and the one powering the mortuary facility had failed. The clock was ticking. I didn’t have HVAC expertise or the necessary parts. The only viable backup generator was on the other side of the country. I had two choices: ini

‘Tron: Ares’ Uses Elements From a Decade-Old Script

When Tron: Ares hits theaters in October, it’ll be the end of a 15-year roller coaster ride. The second Tron, Tron: Legacy, was released in December 2010, and almost immediately, talks began about a sequel. In that time, multiple writers (15, in fact), directors, and actors attempted to return to the Grid only to fall short. But now, it’s coming, and it’s very different from what fans expected 15 years ago, though some key elements remain. One of the first writers brought on to pen Tron 3 was D

The 29 Best Movies on Apple TV+ Right Now (September 2025)

When it comes to originals, Netflix and Amazon have the deepest libraries of prestige movies. But ever since CODA won the Best Picture Oscar, it’s become clear that some of the best movies are on Apple TV+. As with any streaming service, not every film on the roster is a winner, but from the Billie Eilish documentary to Sundance darlings, Apple’s streaming service is building up a strong catalog to run alongside its growing slate of beloved TV shows.

Affiliates Flock to ‘Soulless’ Scam Gambling Machine

Last month, KrebsOnSecurity tracked the sudden emergence of hundreds of polished online gaming and wagering websites that lure people with free credits and eventually abscond with any cryptocurrency funds deposited by players. We’ve since learned that these scam gambling sites have proliferated thanks to a new Russian affiliate program called “Gambler Panel” that bills itself as a “soulless project that is made for profit.” The scam begins with deceptive ads posted on social media that claim th

Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?

I keep hearing what a cash incinerator AI is, especially around inference. While it seems reasonable on the surface, I've often been wary of these kind of claims, so I decided to do some digging. I haven't seen anyone really try to deconstruct the costs in running inference at scale and the economics really interest me. This is really napkin math. I don't have any experience at running frontier models at scale, but I do know a lot about the costs and economics of running very high throughput s

There's a Stunning Financial Problem With AI Data Centers

Over the past few years, the tech industry's plans for artificial intelligence have grown from ambitious to outright treacherous, with the amount of money invested in the space so high it now poses a serious risk to the broader economy. Underlying the broader, often poorly-defined AI tech are data centers, which are vast warehouses stuffed to the brim with specialized chips that transform energy into computational power, thus making all your Grok fact checks possible. The economics of data cen

How Science Fiction Became the Key to This Year’s Most Buzzed About Concert

2001: A Space Odyssey. Star Wars. Star Trek. Tron. Blade Runner. Akira. The Fifth Element. Interstellar. Superman. Flash Gordon. The Matrix. That sounds like a list of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, but actually, it’s a list of the films mentioned during a discussion about the inspirations behind the Backstreet Boys’ popular new residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. This past July, one of the biggest boy bands of all time celebrated 20 years of their iconic album, Millennium, at

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Introduces Its Latest Heavy, the Tentatively Named ‘Big Mama’

In a new interview with IGN, Koshi Nakanishi, the director of Resident Evil Requiem Evil, and its producer, Masato Kumazawa, sat down to discuss the game‘s key “stalker” enemy—a persistent, giant-sized monster who continuously hounds the player throughout the story. As this lineage includes such franchise darlings as Mr. X, Nemesis, and the ever-popular Lady Dimitrescu, designing a new, iconic monster for the series is no small feat. So, what did they come up with this time? Make way for the te

Nvidia earnings takeaways: A 'full steam' AI spend, but China uncertainty remains

Nvidia stock fluctuated on Thursday as investors digested the company's latest earnings report, which signaled robust AI demand but provided little clarity on China. Sales surged 56% in the quarter to $46.74 billion, which was roughly in line Wall Street's projected $46.06 billion, according to LSEG. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.05, just topping the $1.01 per share estimated by analysts. The better-than-expected results were clouded by concerns over Nvidia's future in
