Tesla robotaxis launch in Austin with $4.20 invite-only service and human "safety monitors"

What just happened? Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service finally launched yesterday (June 23) in Austin, Texas. So far, it has been limited to invited participants and not the general public, and passengers aren't alone in the vehicles; Tesla's "safety monitors" sit in the front passenger seat ready to take over if something goes wrong – despite Elon Musk promising the service would launch unsupervised. Musk's "tentatively, June 22" response early this month to an X user's question about when

OnePlus 15 leak shows why the Galaxy S26 series urgently needs silicon-carbon batteries

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently have a 7,000mAh or higher battery. That means the upcoming phone could have a much bigger battery than the Galaxy S25 series. The phone is also tipped to arrive with a ‘SuperBlack’ color option that could make it look like a “black hole.” We thought the OnePlus 13 was one of the best Android phones of 2025, but OnePlus is undoubtedly hard at work on the follow-up. We’ve already seen a few apparent OnePlus 15 leaks, and it lo

I tried Arc browser’s smarter sibling so you don’t have to — but you might want to

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority No other browser developer is making as much of a buzz in the tech community as The Browser Company, the makers of Arc. While Arc was one of the most offbeat web browsers I’ve used (and stuck to!) in a long time, it didn’t garner the widespread appeal the company had hoped for. That’s why it has now switched gears to Dia — a web browser built from the ground up around generative AI. It integrates deep into your workflow, intelligently talks to your open tabs,

Watch this person play The Witcher 3 on their Galaxy Watch Ultra

TL;DR A Redditor has shown off GeForce Now running on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The user’s uploaded video shows them playing The Witcher 3 on the smartwatch. The smartwatch isn’t actually doing any of the heavy lifting, but it’s still a cool showcase. We’ve already seen people running retro games on their smartwatches thanks to emulators, but it turns out that you can also play full-fledged PC games on your Wear OS watch. Then again, I’m not sure why you’d want to do so in the first place. Red

I recommend this Chromebook over many Windows laptops that cost twice as much

ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is on sale for $600.

Cataphract: Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame, in the Black-Sea C. 1300

Cataphracts Design Diary #1 Cataphracts commanders: there is no actionable intelligence in this post. Read on. About two months ago, I reread several series on military historian Bret Devereaux’s blog, ACOUP: analyses of Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith, breakdowns of pre-modern command and pre-modern logistics, and, of course, a post simply titled “How Fast Do Armies Move?”. I’m a fan of Devereaux’s—he writes in that delicious space of really knowing his history yet also with the understanding he

Homotopy Equivalences

Previously: Fibrations and Cofibrations. In topology, we say that two shapes are the same if there is a homeomorphism– an invertible continuous map– between them. Continuity means that nothing is broken and nothing is glued together. This is how we can turn a coffe cup into a torus. A homeomorphism, however, won’t let us shrink a torus to a circle. So if we are only interested in how many holes the shapes have, we have to relax our notion of equivalence. Let’s go back to the definition of home

How a grad student got LHC data to play nice with quantum interference

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem using deep neural networks. The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike seeing an image of a star in a telescope, saying anything at all about the data that comes out of the LHC requires careful statistical modeling. “If

Today, that promise has become a staggeringly beautiful reality. Rubin’s view of the universe is unlike any that preceded it—an expansive vision of the night sky replete with detail, including hazy envelopes of matter coursing around galaxies and star-paved bridges arching between them. “These images are truly stunning,” says Pedro Bernardinelli, an astronomer at the University of Washington. During its brief perusal of the night sky, Rubin even managed to spy more than 2,000 never-before-seen

Its name is V462 Lupi. A nova is a stellar object that suddenly brightens in the night sky, usually to a

The Tandy Corporation

In 1919, a small leather company was founded in Fort Worth by David Lewis Tandy and Norton Hinckley. The Hinckley-Tandy Leather Company specialized in leather show laces, shoe soles, leather and rubber heels, and other shoe-findings.
