Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

Mainstream Publications Are Getting Suckered by a Ridiculous Fake News Story About a "Pregnancy Robot"

From in vitro fertilization to designer babies, the world of reproductive science has seen advances over the years that have profoundly changed the way humans conceive and give birth. Unfortunately, artificial human wombs are not yet among those breakthroughs that have made the jump from concept to real life. But that hasn't stopped a number of news sites from running with a bonkers story about plans to build a humanoid "pregnancy robot" that carries real human fetuses to term in a synthetic wo

‘Dandadan’ Studio Apologizes for Its Exorcism Rock Opera Homaging Too Close to the Sun

As the second season reaches its midpoint, Dan Da Dan studio Science Saru has been unapologetic about its abundant references to pop culture and music as it adapts Yukunobi Tatsu’s manga, which is also pretty heavy-handed with similar nods and homages. However, the studio recently issued an apology to the Japanese rock band, X Japan, following an homage featured in an episode centered around a power metal exorcism song that may have homaged too close to the sun. In a post on its official X/Twit

Vibe Debugging: Enterprises' Up and Coming Nightmare

It's 12:45 PM, and my morning has vanished into the black hole of debugging my vibe-coded meme stock valuation site. The monthly growth numbers are spitting out garbage.

YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. And one that a few companies like Uber Freight and Flock Freight are already chasing as part of broader business models that match truck drivers with companies selling goods. San Francisco-based startup Oway is seeking out a narrower business model that more closely resembles Uber for freight, especially

What Personal Trainers Think About Walking Becoming Trendy Again

From under-desk treadmills to walking pads and even going on "hot girl walks" outdoors, walking is growing in popularity as the new way to get your movement in for the day.

AI vs. Human DJs: What Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time?

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds remains a bit of a mystery.

Nvidia in talks with U.S. to sell a more advanced chip to China, Jensen Huang says

Nvidia is in talks with the U.S. government about shipping a new, more advanced chip to China, CEO Jensen Huang said on Friday. Earlier this week, Reuters reported the U.S. tech giant is developing a new artificial intelligence chip for China, dubbed the B30A, that will be more powerful than the H20 — the only semiconductor Nvidia is allowed to sell in the country at present. The U.S. has grown concerned in the past few years that advanced American chips could be used in Chinese military applic

5 apps you should use instead of Messenger

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Messenger is one of the most popular messaging services around, especially in the US, but it has its faults. Group chats, for example, are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning the company that runs it — Meta — can technically read your messages. And since Meta owns it, we can assume it collects a lot of user information that’s then used for targeted ads, just like most big tech companies do. Users also criticize the app for being bloated, as it has e

GPT-5 usage limitations: what are they, how does this compare to GPT-4 family?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority GPT-5 arrived a few weeks ago, though its rollout hasn’t been entirely smooth. While the model shows plenty of promise, its debut also meant the abrupt removal of every other GPT model from ChatGPT’s user-facing UI. Since then, some old models have returned, and there have been a few other changes to the way the system works. Furthermore, many of the initial GPT-5 usage limits have been temporarily enhanced since launch. Let’s dive in and take a closer look
