The Download: AI doppelgängers in the workplace, and using lidar to measure climate disasters

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-12-17 04:10:00

—James O'Donnell Digital clones—AI models that replicate a specific person—package together a few technologies that have been around for a while now: hyperrealistic video models to match your appearance, lifelike voices based on just a couple of minutes of speech recordings, and conversational chatbots increasingly capable of holding our attention. But they’re also offering something the ChatGPTs of the world cannot: an AI that’s not smart in the general sense, but that ‘thinks’ like you do.

New Galaxy S26 Edge battery leak keeps piling on the bad news

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 23:31:36

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Chinese regulatory filing suggests that the Galaxy S26 Edge could have a smaller battery than previously rumored. The listing hints at a 4,200mAh battery rather than a 4,400mAh battery. This would still be an improvement over the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the most polarizing Android phone of 2025. The device has a very slim and light design, but this form factor comes at the expense of battery life. We’re expecting a bigger

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro-series is out, and I’ve been using the entire lineup for the last few days. But most of my time has been spent with the Pixel 10 Pro XL for a good reason. You see, while most of the attention is understandably going to the upgraded camera shenanigans or Google’s AI features, there’s a rather underrated upgrade that has my attention. This year, Google says it has seriously upped its game with the speakers on the Pixel 10 Pro, and I wanted to see

Pixel 10 benchmarks show how little ground Google’s Tensor G5 has gained

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-17 04:00:32

Now that we finally know what Google’s new Tensor G5 processor is made of, it’s about time we compare it against the best in the business. For today’s benchmarking session, I’ve grabbed rival handsets to compare against the more budget-friendly $799 Pixel 10 and the top-of-the-line, $1,199 Pixel 10 Pro XL. I don’t think anyone has particularly high hopes that the Pixel 10 series is going to contend for the performance crown. Google is far more focused on AI and features than traditional perform

Intel has patented a technology it calls 'Software Defined Supercore' (SDC) that enables software to fuse the capabilities of multiple cores to assemble a virtual ultra-wide 'supercore' capable of improving single-thread performance, provided that it has enough parallel work. If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC.

The Best Oil to Use for Every Cooking Method, According to Experts

Walk down the cooking oil aisle and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. Use the wrong one and your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw. High-heat methods like frying or searing call for neutral oils with a higher smoke point, such as canola, avocado, or grapeseed. These options hold up

Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him.
