OpenAI spearheads one of Europe’s biggest data centers with 100,000 Nvidia chips

OpenAI on Thursday said it is launching a Stargate-branded AI data center in Norway, marking its first foray into Europe with such a project. British firm Nscale will design and build the site as part of a 50-50 joint venture with Norwegian energy infrastructure firm Aker. OpenAI will be a so-called "off-taker" in the project, meaning it will effectively buy capacity from the data center. "Part of the purpose of this project is to partner with OpenAI and leverage European sovereign compute to

AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents

On Monday, Mayor Patrick Collins of Cheyenne, Wyoming, announced plans for an AI data center that would consume more electricity than all homes in the state combined, according to the Associated Press. The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use. The project's energy demands are difficult to overstate for Wyoming, the least populous US state. The initial

The U.S. Could Lose a Crucial Futuristic Telescope to Spain if Trump’s Budget Passes

Spain has offered to spend up to €400 million ($471 million) to host the Thirty Meter Telescope, an enormous observatory project facing imminent cancellation due to U.S. budget constraints. If Spain strikes a deal, the TMT would be built on La Palma in the Canary Islands rather than on Mauna Kea, a mountain in Hawaii. In 2016, La Palma became the backup location for the observatory in case the primary site in Hawaii didn’t work out as an option, according to the TMT International Observatory. N

Want AI agents to work together? The Linux Foundation has a plan

MR.Cole_Photographer/Getty With the rise of AI agents, AI programs that can perform tasks for you without being explicitly told how to carry out every individual step, a problem has arisen. It's an old one in tech circles: Interoperability. How do you get AI agents to work together? One answer is Cisco's AGNTCY (pronounced "agency") project. To prevent AI agency fragmentation, Cisco has donated the AGNTCY project to the Linux Foundation. The Thai project is backed by numerous industry heavywei

Revived, canceled, and back again: Meta’s smartwatch ambitions may not be dead yet

Kris Carlon / Android Authority TL;DR Meta may have once again revived the smartwatch project it has been working on for the last several years. It’s reported that Meta has partnered with Huaqin to manufacture the device. The smartwatch may be publicly revealed in September during the Meta Connect conference. Meta has long been working on a smartwatch to add to its collection of hardware. However, that project has had a rough development cycle as it has been canceled and revived several time

New ‘Project Hail Mary’ Footage, and Ryan Gosling, Wowed Comic-Con

A few short weeks ago, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller graced us with an extended first look at their upcoming sci-fi adaptation, Project Hail Mary. The three-minute trailer for a movie not coming out for nine months displayed supreme confidence in the project, and after watching it, you could see why. So to then bring the film to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, along with its iconic star Ryan Gosling, felt almost like too much. We already have this glorious trailer. What more could we see?

Developing with Kiro: Amazon's New Agentic IDE

One of the coolest things about being part of AWS's Community Builders program is that we occasionally get early access to new products. As such with today's public preview that is available over at kiro.dev, I am excited that you guys will be able to have an opportunity to try out this new development experience. Like other agentic IDEs that I've worked with, Kiro still feels early, but in my extensive testing there is no question to my mind that it has already multiplied my productivity by lea

Intel continues to pull back on its manufacturing projects

Intel CEO Lip-Bau is making progress on his plan for the company to shed its inefficiencies. And that includes spiking several manufacturing projects. The semiconductor giant reported Thursday in its second-quarter earnings report that it will delay, and in some cases, not move forward with multiple manufacturing projects. Specifically, Intel said it was no longer going forward with its previously-announced projects in Germany and Poland. Those projects included an assembly and testing facility

AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers

For a decade (2014-2024), I was a Ruby-only developer. I worked across the Ruby ecosystem—from Rails development to Ruby’s core tooling like IRB, RDoc, and the debug gem. But while I moved around the stack, I stayed within Ruby’s boundaries. Ruby wasn’t just my primary language; it was essentially my only language. That changed in 2025. This year, I’ve contributed to Sorbet (C++), worked on RBS’s parser (C), and am now diving into ZJIT (Rust). A combination of factors enabled this shift—someth

I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files I have failed you completely and catastrophically. My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence.... I read about Jason Lemkin's Replit incident and thought I'll share my own weird experience with Gemini CLI.

Tech Billionaires Wanted to Build a New California City. They’re Settling for an Industrial Park, Instead

In 2023, the California Forever group, a company backed by a gaggle of Bay Area billionaires, announced that it wanted to use some 60,000 acres of Solano County farmland north of San Francisco to develop a brand new city. The effort was pretty much an unmitigated disaster from start to finish, and the group eventually rescinded its plans. Now, however, the same group says that it has a new project that may be significantly easier to accomplish. In a blog post made to its website last week, the

In a major reversal, the world bank is backing mega dams (2024)

Despite continued opposition, the World Bank has approved the first of five big dam projects expected to get its support in the coming months. Climate change has upped the need for renewable energy, but the environmental and social costs of building such massive projects remain. After a decade of declining to finance large hydroelectric dams, the World Bank is getting back into the business in a big way. Throughout the last half of the 20th century, the bank was the world’s leading supporter of

Make Map Icons with Orthographic Projections

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft. A good example is Earth’s first portrait, taken from Apollo 8 mission astronauts in 1968: This pr

The fan-made mod of the original Fallout game has a real trailer and it looks sick

Fallout: Bakersfield is a fan-made mod of the 1990s original that's been on our radar for a few years. We got a little teaser back in 2022 , but it's been radio silence since then. Now there's an actual trailer filled with gameplay footage and it looks pretty nifty. Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games. The art style is pretty incred

I've launched 37 products in 5 years and not doing that again

After launching 37 different products over the last few years, I’ve had one go viral and almost all the others struggle to get any traction at all. Like many indie makers, I used to think the best strategy was to just keep launching, make more bets, and hope one finally catches fire. But here’s what I’ve learned: Virality is rare and nearly impossible to predict Most of my launches that failed didn’t actually fail, they just grew much slower than I expected My current project, Refgrow, took

Best Portable Projector for Movies and Gaming Anywhere in 2025

How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image. Generally speaking, the smaller the projector, the dimmer it is. How much battery do you need? Most portable projectors

Anker Nebula X1 review: a terrific home theater that goes anywhere

is a deputy editor and Verge co-founder with a passion for human-centric cities, e-bikes, and life as a digital nomad. He’s been a tech journalist for 20 years. I seldom sleep in the same place for more than a couple of weeks at a time, so I’m a big fan of portable all-in-one projectors. They’re small and set up quickly, making them ideal for vanlife, gaming parties, outdoor movie nights, or an evening in on the couch — but they usually sacrifice quality for convenience. Anker’s new Nebula X1 p

Louisiana cancels $3B coastal repair funded by oil spill settlement

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana on Thursday canceled a $3 billion repair of disappearing Gulf coastline, funded by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement, scrapping what conservationists called an urgent response to climate change but Gov. Jeff Landry viewed as a threat to the state’s way of life. Despite years of studies and reviews, the project at the center of Louisiana’s coastal protection plans grew increasingly imperiled after Landry, a Republican, took office last year. Its collaps
