Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-10-28 11:00:00

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good. But there’s been an influx of really well-designed keyboards of late: Keychron’s K2 HE Special Edition is a great example, along with the Mcho

Tesla and Google’s Robotaxis Still Really Aren’t That Autonomous

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-29 21:22:13

Tesla’s impending robotaxi service comes with a whole list of caveats you’ll need to agree to before you huddle into the backseat of its autonomous vehicles. Or, perhaps they’re not really that autonomous. The first Tesla Model Y Cybercab services will be limited to select participants (including Tesla influencers), but even then drivers can expect to have a “safety monitor” in the driver’s seat. This may be a remote individual making sure the cars don’t cause any vehicular snafus, but it also s

How Texas’ hands-off approach to autonomous vehicles gave Tesla an opening

theverge.com Mack Degeurin 2025-10-30 09:00:00

Last week, a Tesla Model Y with the word “ROBOTAXI” scratched into its side and no one in the driver seat made a turn off Austin’s bustling South Congress Avenue. Another Tesla, described by autonomous vehicle experts as a “chase vehicle,” followed closely behind. Tesla CEO Elon Musk commented on the clip, seemingly confirming that the lead car was one of roughly 10 vehicles comprising the company’s robotaxi fleet, expected to make their official debut sometime next week.

How Hourglass Vision Transformers Are Redefining Camouflaged Object Detection

computer.org Enrique Quezada 2025-11-02 04:58:20

Introduction While camouflage gives wildlife and military vehicles a strategic survival advantage, it poses challenges, both for human and computer vision systems. It is difficult enough to detect objects designed to blend with their environments, but when the objects have blurry edges, the detection process is even more problematic. However, in a paper written for the 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), Jinpeng He, Biyuan Liu, and Huaixin Chen of the Uni

The art style was definitely cool — Mouse is a black-and-white first-person shooter inspired by 1930s rubber hose cartoons, featuring bipedal rodents dressed like mobsters — but without any information about the gameplay loop, mechanics or narrative direction, I remained unmoved.
