cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-20 03:09:00

Teeth whitening kits aren't exactly what most people would call riveting. I must say I was blown away by the entire Smile Brilliant process and package. I wasn't aware you could get custom-fitted whitening trays anywhere other than a dentist's office, but you can with Smile Brilliant. Wearing these whitening trays is just like wearing a retainer. They fit perfectly to your teeth because they're designed using putty impressions you make of your teeth. The process works like this: You order a kit

Camp Snap CS-8 Review: Simple Video Capture

wired.com Sam Kieldsen 2025-11-20 10:00:00

The Camp Snap CS-8 doesn’t care about frame rates, bit rates, or whether your footage is stabilized to unerring levels of steadiness. It doesn’t want to replace your iPhone or compete with your mirrorless camera setup. What it offers instead is something far simpler and more deliberate: the feeling of shooting video for the sake of it. Much like Camp Snap’s point-and-shoot still camera from 2023 (the company’s only other major product), it’s a throwback to when cameras didn’t think for you and

Duolingo CEO says controversial AI memo was misunderstood

In Brief While Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn was loudly criticized this year after declaring that Duolingo would become an “AI-first company,” he suggested in a new interview the real issue was that he “did not give enough context.” “Internally, this was not controversial,” von Ahn told The New York Times. “Externally, as a publicly traded company some people assume that it’s just for profit. Or that we’re trying to lay off humans. And that was not the intent at all.” On the contrary, von Ahn sai

How randomness improves algorithms (2023)

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first general-purpose electronic computer used randomness to simulate nuclear processes. Similar approaches have since been used in astrophysics, climate science and economics. In all these cases, plugging in random numbers at certain steps in the algorithm helps researchers account for uncertainty about th

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current theories, matter and its counterpart, antimatter, ought to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. But antimatter is vanishingly rare in the universe. So what happened? Physicists don’t know the answer to that question yet, but many think the solution must involve some subtle dif
