Hannah Cairo: 17-year-old teen refutes a math conjecture proposed 40 years ago

Hannah Cairo was stuck on a math problem. All she could think about during those weeks was a new approach. “After months of trying to prove the result, I managed to understand why it was so difficult. I realized that if I used that information correctly, I might be able to refute the claim. Finally, after several failed attempts, I found a way to construct a counterexample [a case that does not satisfy the studied property and therefore proves it is not universally true].” Ciaro says it required

Tesla Fans Rage Against Elon Musk as They Lose Money on Polymarket After Doing Exactly What He Told Them to Do

Elon Musk's fanboys are furious at the billionaire for giving them bad betting advice on Polymarket. Back when there was still a slight chance that Tesla might pull off a public Robotaxi launch by the end of June, the multi-hyphenate billionaire prognosticated on X-formerly-Twitter that betting against the haters on the crypto-based prediction platform would be a "money-making opportunity." Obviously, that didn't happen — the program remains glitchy and not open to the public — and now that th

The New ‘Kamen Rider’ Will Stream In the US, Too

As the Kamen Rider franchise nears the end of its current series Gavv, Toei and Ishimori Productions already wants fans to think ahead. On Saturday, the company unveiled a first look at the tokusatsu giant’s next installment, Kamen Rider Zeztz. Per the logline, the show is set “in a world shaped by the dreams we see in our sleep.” The titular Zeztz “enters people’s dreams as an agent on a mission” to “bring a bold new form to the battle.” While we don’t see any Inception-style antics in the pre

Apple is reportedly working on a cheaper MacBook, but will it matter?

This week, we heard some news from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo about Apple entering a new segment of the laptop market. The company is reportedly working on a new MacBook at a lower starting price point than the MacBook Air, and it’ll apparently pack the A18 Pro chip found in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While a cheaper MacBook is certainly a welcome add, the question truly stands: will Apple do it properly, or will it serve as another decoy model? Rumor refresh To quickly recap, the cheaper

Here are three reasons why AirPods Pro 2 are still worth picking up in 2025

We’re likely going to see yet another version of AirPods Pro this September, alongside the launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. Despite the current set of AirPods Pro coming up on nearly three years old, I don’t think that those in the market to buy new AirPods should necessarily waste their time waiting for a potentially upcoming model. AirPods Pro 2 keep getting better Even though we should get a new pair of AirPods Pro in the coming months, that hasn’t stopped Apple from continually making this

Xbox's sci-fi looter-shooter Blackbird was scrapped even after leaving execs 'blown away'

Xbox was well on its way to delivering a sci-fi stylized game with plenty of exciting movement mechanics before an abrupt change of heart. The upcoming third-person shooter RPG codenamed Blackbird from ZeniMax Online Studios, which developed The Elder Scrolls Online, has been "shelved indefinitely," according to an exclusive report from Bloomberg. The report added that Xbox execs were "blown away" by the game and had "nothing but complimentary words," according to Bloomberg's sources. The excit

This Robot Dog Is as Good at Walking as I Am at Being a Robot Dog

Aren’t pets such a drag? I mean, really. They’re all furry, and cute, and innocent. And you have to feed them and love them, and respect their autonomy and basic needs. For what? Borderline unconditional love? Who’s got time for all that? Certainly not me. My job is computer, and I need efficiency—a practical companion that’s alive when I want it to be and shutting the f**k up when I need to have the TPS report filed by EOD so corporate can circle back on the EOY roadmap. You got all that? Me ne

Drive Capital’s second act –  how the Columbus venture firm found success after a split

The venture capital world has always had a hot-and-cold relationship with the Midwest. Investors rush in during boom times, then retreat to the coasts when markets turn sour. For Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital, this cycle of attention and disinterest played out against the backdrop of its own internal upheaval several years ago — a co-founder split that could have ended the firm but may have ultimately strengthened it. At a minimum, Drive achieved something newsworthy in today’s venture lan

X-Clacks-Overhead

About the Signal X-Clacks-Overhead is a non-standardised HTTP header based upon the fictional work of the late, great, Sir Terry Pratchett. In Terry Pratchett's science-fantasy Discworld series, "The Clacks" is a network infrastructure of Semaphore Towers, that operate in a similar fashion to telegraph - named "Clacks" because of the clicking sound the system makes as signals send. In Sir Terry's novel "Going Postal", the story explains that the inventor of the Clacks - a man named Robert Dea

Making My Own Hacktoberfest T-Shirts

Between 2014 and 2022, DigitalOcean sent free t-shirts to developers who completed the Hacktoberfest challenge. For entirely sensible reasons related to sustainability and spammy entrants, they stopped doing physical merchandise in 2023. I'm the sort of hip fashionista who only wears free conference t-shirts. Sadly, after several years of constant catwalk modelling, my beloved Hacktoberfest shirts are full of holes. I couldn't find any for sale on eBay or Vinted - so I decided to make my own.

Supergiant’s latest Hades II patch is likely its last before launch

Despite it having upward of 61,000 reviews on Steam, Hades II isn’t actually out yet. The sequel to Supergiant Games’ hugely successful roguelite dungeon crawler has been in early access on PC for over a year, and even the early builds were extremely polished and content-rich for what is still a work-in-progress game. But we (and Switch owners) have been waiting patiently for that 1.0 release date, and it looks like it might be just around the corner, with Supergiant confirming that the latest U

Fairphone 6 lands a perfect 10 for repairability

Dutch company Fairphone continues to lead the charge on consumer- and planet-friendly electronics, proving that a great phone doesn't have to be impossible to repair or environmentally unsustainable.

The folks over at iFixit wasted no time in conducting a teardown of this new entry to see how it stacks up against previous generations. The Fairphone 6 scored a perfect 10 out of 10, like
