Silksong, smacking sticks and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. Folks, it's here. You know it's here. So, we'll touch on it, but briefly. Some developers and publishers opted not to delay their games out of this week (others have done that to get some breathing space from you-know-what), so there are several other newcomers to highlight. Before we get there, there's a sale worth mentioning on a PC storefront that does not offer Hollow Knight: Silksong. The Epic Games Store's End of Summ

William James at CERN (1995)

William James at CERN Some Examples of Selection in Minds and Computers 1. William James Principles of Psychology This is obviously true of action. Whatever views your views on free will, it is indubitable that differing options occur to us, that we compare them, that we prefer some to others, that eventually we elect one and dismiss the rest. More interestingly, James describes the role of selection in perception, and finds it at every level of neural and mental life. The sense organs, to b

Microsoft Azure: "Multiple international subsea cables were cut in the Red Sea"

Increased network latency on traffic routes through the Middle East Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea. Network traffic is not interrupted as Microsoft has rerouted traffic through alternate network paths. We do expect higher latency on some traffic that previously traversed through the Middle East.

Paper Finds Earth May Have Been Terraformed by "Advanced Extraterrestrials"

It's one of the most longstanding questions in biology: how did life first arise? Research on the topic abounds, but there's no one accepted answer. And according to one new paper, the chances that life emerged by pure chance on Earth are so slim that it's possible that our planet was instead seeded by "advanced extraterrestrials." While Imperial College London professor of systems biology Robert Endres concedes that the emergence of life still could've been the result of chemical reactions mo

Report: Gavin and Stacey sitcom stars sign up to headline new Apple TV+ series

The stars of Gavin and Stacey, one of the most popular BBC series in the UK, are set to write, produce and act in a new Apple TV+ drama, according to the Daily Mail. James Corden and Ruth Jones have apparently signed a deal with Apple on a new series set to go into production next year.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A feels like a strong step forward for the series

The Pokémon series has had staying power ever since its debut in the 1990s, but it has felt especially popular in recent years, thanks to Pokémon GO and the resurgence of the trading card game. Given that more Pokémon fans are experiencing new ways to play, it’s the right time for developer Game Freak to refresh the video game series. The upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A looks to do just that with a more action-oriented focus on a Pokémon trainer's journey. At a special Nintendo showcase during PA

Apple plans to release iPhone 17 and more at the 'Awe Dropping' event September 9: Here's everything to expect

We're now just days away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on

Scientists Boast That Their AI-Powered Stethoscope Only Fails Two-Thirds of the Time

A team of researchers in the UK say their AI-powered stethoscope can detect three different heart conditions in just 15 seconds. It's also, they readily admit, horrendously inaccurate. Placed over the chest, the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity. Then, all that info is packaged and sent "securely" to the c

The maths you need to start understanding LLMs

The maths you need to start understanding LLMs Actually coming up with ideas like GPT-based LLMs and doing serious AI research requires serious maths. But the good news is that if you just want to understand how they work, while it does require some maths, if you studied it at high-school at any time since the 1960s, you did all of the groundwork then: vectors, matrices, and so on. One thing to note -- what I'm covering here is what you need to know to understand inference -- that is, using an

RFK Jr Is Suddenly in Real Trouble

Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has weathered ample family tragedy, drug and alcohol addiction, infection from an alleged brain worm, and a few sex scandals both minor and major — and now he's weathering condemnation from his own political allies that could presage a genuine crash out. Amid his single-minded quest against vaccines, the 71-year-old health secretary seems to have made a serious miscalculation when he chose to fire Centers for Disease Control and Prevent

This iPhone 17 Pro mock event looks like Apple’s keynote leaked early

While Apple’s iPhone 17 event kicks off in just a few days, this preview footage could almost be mistaken for the real thing. Jon Prosser is back with another video that looks almost indistinguishable from the real thing. His latest mock reveal covers all the things we expect to see, stitching together every major leak and rumor into a visually impressive video. Anyway, when life gives you lawsuits, make keynote videos.

Horrible Things Are Happening at Antarctic Facilities

If you think your job is tough, just be glad you haven’t had to do a tour at an Antarctic research base. A horrifying new workplace survey by the US National Science Foundation is raising alarms about a terrible HR crisis unfolding on the white continent. In particular, the report found that sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking were regular facts of life for those stationed on remote research stations. The confidential survey was open to all 2,760 US Antarctic Program (USAP) employe
