Mandatory AI summaries have come to Google, and they gleefully showcase hallucinations while confidently insisting on their truth. I feel about them the same way I felt about mandatory G+ logins when all I wanted to do was access my damn YouTube account: I hate them. Intensely.

Los Alamos scientists are good at doing things that seem impossible, like taking a picture of something that happens in less than seven-millionths of a second—such as an explosion. And not just one picture, but a series of images that reveal pivotal data about the material that exploded and the physics of the explosion. This so-called dynamic imaging is essential to the Lab’s stockpile stewardship mission because it helps scientists test and un

The most likely iPhone 17 event date is now the rumored iPhone 17 event date. No surprises there. But when should we expect Apple to actually confirm the date of its next big product reveal? iPhone 17 event in five weeks Save for a few exceptions, Apple typically announces new flagship iPhone models in the second week of September each year.

Tesla co-founder JB Straubel is using old EV batteries to power AI data centers

cnbc.com Andrew Evers 2025-12-16 20:00:01

As demand for energy skyrockets amid the rise of AI, one of Tesla 's co-founders is betting on a new solution: giving old electric vehicle batteries a second-life. JB Straubel, who helped launch Tesla and served as its tech chief until 2019, founded Redwood Materials in 2017 to recycle batteries and build a closed-loop supply chain for EVs. But as Redwood started receiving more EV batteries, the startup noticed that most still had usable capacity. Rather than recycle those batteries, Redwood is

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has solved the wrong problem

Ever since foldable phones first appeared, I’ve had a complicated relationship with them. I wanted to love the concept from the very beginning, and I truly tried, but I could never get past how unwieldy they were. If you’ll remember, early foldables were comically thick, essentially feeling like two regular phones stacked on top of each other. Over the years, manufacturers have been on a mission to slim them down. Now, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, we’ve reached a significant

Weather satellites detect 515-mile-long lightning flash

Some areas are more prone to lightning storms than others. It's 2017, and a thunderstorm shoots off a lightning bolt. What's so special about that, you ask? Well, the bolt is an astonishing 515 miles (829 kilometers) long. Using archival satellite data, researchers just officially confirmed the length of this enormous bolt of lightning that stretched from Texas to Missouri. It sets a new world record, besting the previous title holder — a 477-mile (768-km) bolt from 2020 — by 38 miles (61 km).

Horror wunderkind Ari Aster’s new movie Eddington has divided audiences and inspired plenty of online debate about what exactly the director is trying to say about our collective relationship to technology (hint: it’s probably not good). The story centers around a small town in Texas that descends into social-media-driven chaos during the covid-19 pandemic. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as local sheriff Joe Cross, who tussles with the town’s mayor, played by Pedro Pascal, while the rest of the

Quantum computing is interesting. It’s really a wonderful area for research, but my feeling is we have a long way to go. Today we have examples of quantum computers—hardware always arrives before software—but those examples are very primitive. With a digital computer, we think of doing a computation and getting an answer. The quantum computer is instead going to give us a probability distribution of where the answer is, and you’re going to make a number of, we’ll call it runs on the quantum comp

Pull up any list of the ultimate cyberpunk movies and you'll find The Matrix, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all-but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.
