gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-30 22:02:17

By 6:00 a.m. ET, it was hovering around $122,013, according to data from CoinGecko.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Vindicated by Science

People love to show that skeptics were wrong about something, especially when national pride hangs in the balance. The South China Morning Post published the following headline on November 3rd: “Scientists find traditional Chinese medicine is based on a complex network of proteins – 3,000 years before modern science.” The article points out that respectable editorials in the scientific literature had repeatedly referred to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as “largely just pseudoscience” and “

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-07-30 14:00:00

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs. The compromise scales ultimately tipped against the Gram Pro in 2024, but I’ll give credit to LG for staying the course and continuing to iterate on this design, and fixing many of the flaws

Context Engineering Guide

What is Context Engineering? A few years ago, many, even top AI researchers, claimed that prompt engineering would be dead by now. Obviously, they were very wrong, and in fact, prompt engineering is now even more important than ever. It is so important that it is now being rebranded as context engineering. Yes, another fancy term to describe the important process of tuning the instructions and relevant context that an LLM needs to perform its tasks effectively. Much has been written already

Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain, announced this week that he had purchased yet another $100 million of Donald Trump’s memecoin, $TRUMP.
