On an earnings call, Musk said Tesla "probably could have

I Tried Orb, a New Internet Speed Test. It Might Be the Best I've Ever Used

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet speeds. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, I recommend always starting with a speed test. I've tested and used dozens of internet speed tests. The market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can't make sense of, and no slowing down your Wi-Fi. Speed tests are

Birthright citizenship ruling now part of Apple’s appeal argument against Epic Games

In its ongoing appeal against Epic Games over App Store rules, Apple has decided to cite a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on President Trump’s birthright citizenship directive. Here are the details. In a new filing submitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals this week (via Reuters), Apple argues that a June Supreme Court decision in Trump v. CASA directly supports its effort to overturn two injunctions issued in its long-running antitrust case against Epic Games. Apple’s argument is th

Ralph Ineson Actually Got in the Galactus Suit for ‘Fantastic Four’

Friday’s Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces moviegoers to Galactus, one of the heroes’ biggest (literally) enemies. While comics fans love that he’s actually a giant man this time around and not a cloud, the bigger selling point is that Ralph Ineson, who lent his deep voice and whole body to portray the comics character. Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ineson discussed the process of bringing Galactus to giant-sized life. He’d been offered the role by director Matt Shakman, who Ineson

Sony is finally making it possible to pair a DualSense with more than one device

Sony is bringing a welcome quality-of-life feature to the PlayStation 5. In the next PS5 system update beta, players will be able to have their DualSense controllers synced with multiple hardware platforms at the same time. That means you could swap a controller from a PS5 to your gaming PC to your smartphone without needing to re-pair the DualSense each time. Up to four devices can be simultaneously paired with a single controller, and each of them will be mapped to one of the action buttons.

Gig Speeds for Every American? Trump FCC Moves to Drop One of the Group’s Most Ambitious Goals

One of the federal government’s most ambitious broadband targets may soon be abandoned. On August 7, the FCC will vote on a proposal to drop its goal of gig speeds for every American. In March last year, the Democratic-led group voted to raise the definition of minimum broadband speeds from 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload speed to 100/20Mbps. It also set a more ambitious long-term goal of increasing the benchmark to 1,000Mbps download and 500Mbps upload speed. Trump’s pick for FCC chair, Bren

OpenAI and partners are building a massive AI data center in Texas

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced a partnership with Oracle to develop 4.5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity for its Stargate AI infrastructure platform in the US. The expansion, which TechCrunch reports is part of a $30 billion per year deal between OpenAI and Oracle, will reportedly bring OpenAI's total Stargate capacity under development to over 5 gigawatts. The data center has taken root in Abilene, Texas, a city of 127,000 located 150 miles west of Fort Worth. The city, which serves

Using uninitialized memory for fun and profit (2008)

Using Uninitialized Memory for Fun and Profit Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008. This is the story of a clever trick that's been around for at least 35 years, in which array values can be left uninitialized and then read during normal operations, yet the code behaves correctly no matter what garbage is sitting in the array. Like the best programming tricks, this one is the right tool for the job in certain situations. The sleaziness of uninitialized data access is offset by performance improveme

I Tried T-Mobile's New Satellite Service for Texting in Dead Zones. Here's How It's Different

If you've traveled to remote areas where cellular coverage doesn't reach, you know that anxious feeling when your communications slam to a halt. T-Mobile's new $10 a month Starlink-based satellite texting service, T-Satellite, which went live today, takes a different approach from other satellite services to provide mobile access even within the half a million square miles of wireless dead zones in the US. To test it out, I drove nearly three hours from Seattle until my phone bars abandoned me,

ChatGPT is rolling out 'personality' toggles to become your assistant

OpenAI is rolling out a new "personality" feature on the ChatGPT web app. This allows you to choose between multiple personalities, such as "Robot." ChatGPT is pretty good at coding and reasoning, but it falls a bit short on personality. On the other hand, Microsoft Copilot feels a bit more personal, but that could change soon. With the personality feature, which is slowly rolling out to some users across the world, you can personalize how ChatGPT interacts with you. By default, ChatGPT is ch

Interactive Programming in C (2014)

December 23, 2014 nullprogram.com/blog/2014/12/23/ I’m a huge fan of interactive programming (see: JavaScript, Java, Lisp, Clojure). That is, modifying and extending a program while it’s running. For certain kinds of non-batch applications, it takes much of the tedium out of testing and tweaking during development. Until last week I didn’t know how to apply interactive programming to C. How does one go about redefining functions in a running C program? Last week in Handmade Hero (days 21-25),

The ‘Booster Gold’ Show Finally Shows Some Progress

It’s easy to forget, but part of DC Studios’ initial slate reveal included a TV show for one Booster Gold. There’s been nothing about it since then, but now we know who’ll be spearheading the show-to-be. Per Deadline, Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins has signed on to write the series’ pilot. If it gets the green light, he’ll also run the show, which centers on Michael “Booster” Carter, a fame-seeking superhero from the 25th century who comes to the present day to build up his superher

Trump’s AI strategy trades guardrails for growth in race against China

The Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI Action Plan on Wednesday, a document that takes a sharp shift away from former President Biden’s cautious approach to addressing the risks of AI, and instead barrels ahead with plans to build out AI infrastructure, cut red tape for tech companies, shore up national security, and compete with China. The downstream effects of this shift will likely ripple throughout various industries and may even be felt by the average American consumer.

GM Re‑Embraces Gas Cars as EV Dream Hits a Major Pothole

The electric vehicle revolution just got a harsh reality check. General Motors is tapping the brakes on its all-electric push, signaling that the gasoline-powered cars we’ve known for a century have a much “longer runway” than previously predicted. This marks a strategic pivot that speaks volumes about the cooling EV market. The shift in tone and strategy was laid bare during the company’s second-quarter conference call with analysts Tuesday, where executives announced plans to increase product

Newly Discovered Gut ‘Sense’ Could Change How We Think About Hunger and Health

There really is something to the concept of having a gut feeling. New research out today suggests our bodies can directly sense and communicate with the many bacteria lining our digestive tract. Scientists at Duke University led the study, published Wednesday in Nature. They found that nerve cells can respond in real time to bacterial signals from the gut—including signals that tell us to curb our appetite. The findings suggest the relationship we have with our microbial neighbors is even more

Politico's Owner Is Embarrassing Its Journalists With Garbled AI Slop

Axel Springer, the German parent company of Politico and the largest publisher in Europe, is trying to force some horrendous AI slop onto the political news publication. And its writers aren't happy. This month, a union representing journalists at Politico and its sister site E&E News, the PEN Guild, took the site's leadership to arbitration, arguing that it had violated the terms of its contract by deploying dodgy AI technology. The saga kicked off last year during the Democratic National Con

Trump’s AI Action Plan Is a Crusade Against ‘Bias’—and Regulation

On Wednesday, the Trump Administration unveiled its new artificial intelligence action plan geared at keeping US efforts competitive with China. With over 90 policies recommended, it’s a wide-ranging document that, if followed, would give Silicon Valley’s most powerful companies even more leeway to grow. “We believe we’re in an AI race,” White House AI czar David Sacks said on a call ahead of the action plan’s release. “We want the United States to win that race.” The Office of Science and Tech

Time is running out to save on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th. As you might expect, each re
