GNU Artanis – A fast web application framework for Scheme

More seriously, Artanis is written using GNU Guile, one of the best implementations of Scheme language. One day, the folks at GNU were discussing what language they would write the GNU website in - and many chose Python. But I found that strange, because the official extension language of GNU is GNU Guile. And I wondered aloud - why not start a brand new project to provide a web framework written with GNU Guile? To which RMS said, "It's cool, I like this idea." But at that time, it was just an

A ‘Knight Rider’ Movie Is in the Works From the Creators of ‘Cobra Kai’

The Netflix hit Cobra Kai was the perfect balance of 1980s nostalgia and modern sensibilities. Now, the team behind that show has been tapped to do the same for another popular brand from the decade: Knight Rider. The Hollywood Reporter says that Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald are in early talks to make a movie based on the hit show, which starred David Hasselhoff as a detective who gets paired with an artificially intelligent car called KITT (which stood for Knight Industries

Google’s AI Weather Model Nailed Its First Major Storm Forecast

While generative AI tools that primarily amount to slop generators grab most of the attention in the artificial intelligence space, there are occasionally some actually useful applications of the technology, like Google DeepMind’s use of AI weather models to predict cyclones. The experimental tool, launched earlier this year, successfully managed to provide accurate modeling of Hurricane Erin as it started gaining steam in the Atlantic Ocean earlier this month. As Ars Technica first reported, H

With Starship, SpaceX encounters an obstacle that haunted NASA’s space shuttles

Eventually, SpaceX wants to catch ships coming back from space with big mechanical arms on the launch pad, similar to the way SpaceX has shown it can recover the rocket's huge Super Heavy booster. This would allow SpaceX to theoretically stack a freshly flown ship on top of a booster right on the launch pad, then quickly refuel it and launch it again. There are plenty of things SpaceX must prove before the company is able to do this. But SpaceX has already demonstrated it can handle some of the

An Astonishing Number of Men Are Dying Because They Refuse to Go to the Doctor

Image by Getty / Futurism Treatments Men appear to be dying disproportionately from preventable diseases and conditions way more than women, and in many cases it's their own damn fault: because they're refusing to go to the doctor until it's too late. In interviews with the New York Times, doctors and public health experts expressed concerns with the state of men's preventative care, which they say many chaps tend to ignore — to their own peril. Breaking this issue down between men and women

AI skeptics are running out of rope to argue Apple isn’t desperately behind

Whenever a new story comes out detailing yet another setback with Apple’s AI initiatives and roadmaps, without fail, someone shows up and asks: “What exactly is Apple behind on?,” or “Catch up? Catch up to what?”. And while this sort of comment tends to come from people who seem to spend quite a lot of time and effort trying to make sure that everyone knows they don’t care about something, this specific hill they’re choosing to die on is getting increasingly steep. Here’s why. I will give them

NFL Sunday Ticket finally offers a month-to-month option

With the 2025 NFL season only nine days away, YouTube is adding a new way to pay for Sunday Ticket. You can now get the service on a month-to-month basis. Your cost will depend on a few factors. If you're new to Sunday Ticket, you'll pay $85 monthly (up to four payments). For returning subscribers, your fee will vary depending on whether you're subscribed to YouTube TV. If you are, Sunday Ticket will cost $115 per month. If you don't have YouTube TV, you'll pay a whopping monthly fee of $145. T

First look at Star Wars Visions: season 3 shows a more experimental anthology

Disney+ fatigue might be setting in for many viewers, with a surfeit of Marvel and Star Wars shows dropping at a hectic clip over the past few years. But that didn’t stop Star Wars: Visions from getting a warm reception at this past weekend’s Anime NYC convention, where thousands of fans were given a sneak peek at the upcoming season of the animated anthology show. Star Wars: Visions season three was also featured at this summer’s Star Wars Celebration, but its appearance at an anime con was ju

Marshall's first party speaker unsurprisingly looks like a guitar amp

Marshall just introduced its very first party speaker, the Bromley 750. It looks a whole lot like a guitar amp, which makes sense given the company's pedigree. Also, instrument amps are basically just big speakers anyways. This Bluetooth speaker includes a replaceable battery that allows for more than 40 hours of use before requiring a charge. It produces 360-degree stereophonic sound that Marshall says will "find its way through any crowd." It also features a "sound character knob" that change

Salesloft breached to steal OAuth tokens for Salesforce data-theft attacks

Hackers breached sales automation platform Salesloft to steal OAuth and refresh tokens from its Drift chat agent integration with Salesforce to pivot to customer environments and exfiltrate data. The ShinyHunters extortion group claims responsibility for these additional Salesforce attacks. Salesloft's SalesDrift is a third-party platform that connects the Drift AI chat agent with a Salesforce instance, allowing organizations to sync conversations, leads, and support cases into their CRM.

All the Polygons

How real is your world? How do you know? Maybe it’s the gentle sway of leaves in the wind. Or the sound of crickets chirping at dusk. Or the softness of the light in the summer. Take a step back, blink. Turn your head to the side. Are you sure? From the earliest 8-bit bush in The Legend of Zelda (1986) to the peatbog sublime of Death Stranding (2018), video games have long been on a quest for perfect simulation. The benefits are obvious: more convincing worlds equals more immersive gameplay; mor

A Radiohead song from 1997 is on the Hot 100 charts, thanks to TikTok

Thanks to an unexpected surge in popularity on TikTok, Radiohead now has its fourth-ever song on the Billboard Hot 100: the morosely gorgeous track “Let Down” from the 1997 album “OK Computer.” “Let Down” never broke through to mainstream attention like Radiohead’s “Creep” or “Karma Police,” but it’s by no means a deep cut, like the Pavement B-side “Harness Your Hopes” that went viral due to a quirk in Spotify’s recommendation algorithm. This Radiohead song is a fan favorite from an album that’

The Pixel 10’s new Gboard writing assistant is already starting to arrive for older Pixel phones

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google announced a new writing assistance feature called Writing Tools during the Pixel 10 launch. The feature is already starting to roll out to older Pixel phones. During the Pixel 10 launch last week, Google announced quite a few new features that would roll out with the new smartphone. One of those features is called Writing Tools, which we spotted two months prior in an APK teardown. While we knew it would be available for Gboard on the Pixel 10,

Health Connect prepares to track your favorite vices (APK teardown)

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Health Connect gives Android users a tool to store their health and fitness data in a centralized repository. In addition to regular health metrics, Health Connect is getting ready to keep track of nicotine and alcohol consumption. Nicotine reporting will support different consumption methods, like cigarettes and vaping. Let’s be honest: Android Health Connect needs work. The system has the best of intentions, offering a tool for organizing and making

This new Pixel 10 battery feature is stirring up controversy - here's why

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Pixel 10 lineup has a controversial battery health feature. Users don't have the option to turn it off. The feature limits your phone's battery capacity over time. If you're a Google Pixel 10 series phone owner, a mandatory feature will limit your device's battery life. Whether that's a good thing or not depends on how you approach it. Earlier this year, Google introduced a Battery Healt

Listen to the ‘Tron: Ares’ Soundtrack the Way It’s Meant to Be Heard: On Tape

Along with the digital release of the Tron: Ares soundtrack, Nine Inch Nails is playing up the nostalgic music tech sensibilities of the franchise with its score on physical media. Collectors will be able to snag not only multiple vinyl variants of the music from the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures release but also a special edition cassette tape, which, for us ’90s NIN fans, is how we first listened to the industrial rock act. The analog release will only be available through the Nine Inch Nails

iOS 26 Is Almost Here. This Is When I Think Apple Will Release the iPhone Update

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the tech giant has since released multiple beta versions of the software. Those versions bring new features, like a Liquid Glass design and call screening to block spam callers, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. You can expect many of those capabilities to land on your iPhone soon. Apple said it will release the update to the general public this fall, which is good but not the most helpful timeframe. But if

2025 Mazda MX-5 RF review: Buy the soft top; the hardtop sucks

In the golden days of the Internet, before dysfunctional social media, when forums ruled the roost and people formed communities, someone looking for car advice would invariably be told, more than once, "Just get a Miata." For 35 years, the Miata, or MX-5 as it's better known globally, has stuck to the same simple recipe: two seats and a four-cylinder engine in front that drives the rear wheels behind, wrapped in about as small of a body as is possible while still meeting international crash reg

Libby’s library app adds an AI discovery feature, and not everyone is thrilled

Library e-book and audiobook app Libby is adding AI, much to the disappointment of some readers and librarians, who would prefer not to have AI inserted into their favorite apps. The new feature, “Inspire Me,” allows users to get book recommendations by using prompts or from their previously saved titles in Libby. To use the feature, readers tap on the “Inspire Me” options on Libby’s home page, where they can ask for fiction or nonfiction, then narrow down the suggestions by other factors, like

Google Translate is ready to replace Duolingo in your life

TL;DR Google Translate is getting a new mode to help teach you a new language. The beta initially supports teaching Spanish to English speakers, and English to speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Translate is also getting some upgrades to its live translation mode, all thanks to AI. For all the controversy surrounding AI when it comes to things like content generation, or hallucinating wildly incorrect facts when attempting to answer questions, most of us would agree that it works qu

I'm an audiophile, and these $20 earbuds pass my sound quality check

JLab Go Pods ANC earbuds ZDNET's key takeaways The JLab Go Pods ANC earbuds are available on Amazon for $22. They sound amazing, especially for the price. The JLab app is necessary to get the most out of these earbuds. $29.99 at Amazon Some might think noise-canceling is a gimmick and avoid using it on their earbuds. That's a mistake, because noise-canceling technology can make a big difference in earbuds' overall audio quality. Also: These $60 headphones have no business sounding this good

Michigan Supreme Court: Unrestricted Phone Searches Violate Fourth Amendment

The Michigan Supreme Court has drawn a firm line around digital privacy, ruling that police cannot use overly broad warrants to comb through every corner of a person’s phone. In People v. Carson, the court found that warrants for digital devices must include specific limitations, allowing access only to information directly tied to the suspected crime. Michael Carson became the focus of a theft investigation involving money allegedly taken from a neighbor’s safe. Authorities secured a warrant

Detection of Flesh-Eating Screwworm Parasite in U.S. Traveler Raises Alarms

A flesh-eating parasite is creeping north from Mexico and Central America, spurring the U.S. to launch an aggressive eradication plan. Despite these efforts, a patient recently contracted the country’s first travel-associated case of New World screwworm infestation. On Sunday, August 24, Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Andrew Nixon told Reuters that health officials confirmed the case on August 4 in a Maryland resident who recently returned from a trip to El Salvador.

The Download: America’s drone brothers, and an upside of AI doomerism

In 2024 alone, 350 known drone incursions were reported over a hundred different US military installations. A lack of coordination or even clarity from the White House, Pentagon or US intelligence community has led some in domestic law enforcement to turn to an unlikely source for help cracking the case of these mystery drones: two UFO hunters out on Long Island in New York called John and Gerald Tedesco. The twin brothers each spent about three decades in the private sector working in electr

Google Translate's latest feature is its take on Duolingo

Considering its popularity, Google Translate sure hasn't received much attention lately. However, that just changed with a big update. The latest app introduces AI-powered live translation along with new language learning tools that might give Duolingo a run for it's money. Google said it heard from users that the toughest skill to master was conversation — ie, learning to listen and speak with confidence. To that end, it's piloting a new language practice feature (on iOS or Android) targeted t

Nothing ruins a trip more than losing your luggage, wallet, or even your keys. If you're an iPhone user, I have the perfect accessory to ease those anxieties before you head out.
