Student Solves a Long-Standing Problem About the Limits of Addition

wired.com Leila Sloman 2025-10-04 03:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The simplest ideas in mathematics can also be the most perplexing. Take addition. It’s a straightforward operation: One of the first mathematical truths we learn is that 1 plus 1 equals 2. But mathematicians still have many unanswered questions about the kinds of patterns that addition can give rise to. “This is one of the most basic things you can do,” said Benjamin Bedert, a graduate student at the University of Oxford. “Somehow

10 Best Dash Kitchen Appliances (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Dash is the mini-me of the kitchen world, best known for its impossibly low-cost Mini Waffle Maker ($13) and wee egg cookers. The best Dash kitchen appliances are ingenious about packing surprising functionality into a tiny package—saving both counter space and cash in your bank account. This has, of course, made Dash a viral fixture on TikTok, with scads of recipes for mini-waffles and keto-friendly chaffles.

Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden Review: Rewarding but Risky

wired.com Lisa Wood Shapiro 2025-10-04 06:07:00

It was about a week into my journey as a hydroponic lettuce farmer when I noticed my Mila air purifier, set to auto mode, was running at full blast. Its internal air quality sensor told me the air was dirty. Not sure if the sensor was overly sensitive, I swapped it out for the more powerful and far quieter IQ Air Atem X (9/10 WIRED Recommends) and set it on auto mode. Next time I went into my son’s room, the Atem was running at its highest speed. I checked the room’s IQAir Visual Pro Indoor Air

‘We are the media now’: why Tesla’s robotaxis were dominated by Elon Musk superfans

theverge.com Mack Degeurin 2025-10-04 04:30:00

Over the years, Tesla has built part of its reputation on hosting big, bold events to generate authentic hype for upcoming releases. The robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, last week wasn’t one of them. Coverage of the rollout was dominated by a close-knit cohort of Tesla influencers and Elon Musk superfans, many of whom are openly supportive of the CEO’s vision. Journalists and tech bloggers who might have been more critical of the technology were not only excluded but also actively ridiculed an

It has become almost impossible to browse the internet without having an AI-generated video thrust upon you.

Looks like Apple has its first bona fide box office hit. The company has already produced critically-acclaimed and award-winning films for Apple TV+. In fact, while Netflix has reportedly spent millions on its Oscar campaigns, Apple’s “Coda” remains the only movie produced by a streaming service to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It has, however, been a different story at the box office — at best, returns have fallen short of ambitious budgets, and with “Argylle,” the company had a spe
