As an MIT visiting scholar, rap legend Lupe Fiasco decided to go fishing for ideas on campus. In an approach he calls “ghotiing” (pronounced “fishing”), he composed nine raps inspired by works in MIT’s public art collection, writing and recording them on site. On May 2, he and the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble debuted six of them, performing in front of a packed audience in Kresge for the final performance of the MIT Artfinity festival.

Apple’s big iPhone 17 unveiling is just a few months away, with a launch event likely in early September. Here are four new camera features expected to arrive with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. #1: Upgraded 48MP telephoto Ever since the iPhone 11 Pro released in 2019, the three-camera array on the back of the iPhone has become standard for Pro models.

Your savings will grow faster in this account. Kristina Kokhanova/Getty Images Until recently, reviewing the interest earned on my savings account was a snoozefest. If I was lucky, my balance increased a whole cent or two each month. Interest rates -- like temperatures -- are high right now. You just need to look in the right place.

A Federal Moratorium on State AI Rules Is Inching Closer to Passing. Why It Matters

States and local governments would be limited in how they can regulate artificial intelligence under a proposal currently before Congress. AI leaders say the move would ensure the US can lead in innovation, but critics say it could lead to fewer consumer protections for the fast-growing technology.

Google Pixel 10 leak points to some disappointing feature omissions

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The vanilla Pixel 10 may not have a vapor chamber. Wi-Fi 7 support may not be in the cards either. It could also miss out on the new “Ultra Res Zoom” feature and ultra-stable video recording. The base model Pixel 10 is shaping up to sound like a mixed bag of good news and bad news. While it should get a big upgrade in the form of a triple camera setup, it’s also expected to make a variety of compromises. For example, our report from April suggests Google

Early US Intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites

CNN — The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command

Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, is well known as one of the most extreme anti-immigrant voices in the administration. But he’s not just a ghoul driven by far-right ideology to rid the U.S. of anyone who’s not white. Miller also appears to be making some money in the process, thanks to his stock ownership in a company that’s helping the U.S. government rip apart immigrant families through deportation.

How a data-processing problem at Lyft became the basis for Eventual

When Eventual founders Sammy Sidhu and Jay Chia were working as software engineers at Lyft’s autonomous vehicle program, they witnessed a brewing data infrastructure problem — one that would only become larger with the rise of AI. Self-driving cars produce a ton of unstructured data from 3D scans and photos to text and audio. There wasn’t a tool for Lyft engineers that could understand and process all of those different types of data at the same time — and all in one place. This left engineers

NASA Satellite That’s Been Dead for 57 Years Sends Mysterious Signal to Earth

After digging through the data, the team discovered that the source wasn’t a distant celestial object but rather a zombie satellite left to orbit Earth with no purpose.
