As a cell phone expert, these are the 5 carriers I don’t recommend

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I’ve spent a significant portion of the past few years reporting on and testing various wireless service providers operating in the US market. As you might imagine, this has allowed me to form clear recommendations for just about every need — family plans, customer service, pricing, and more. Considering postpaid and prepaid options together, there are dozens of choices available, yet only a handful of providers truly stand out enough to recur regularly in m

‘Batman’ and ‘Casper’ Are Coming Back to Theaters

This fall, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is coming back to theaters, and they won’t be alone. In the weeks and months ahead, fellow re-releases will include Tim Burton’s Batman duology and 1995’s Casper. In the former’s case, both 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns will be a special, one-night event on August 25. Over 160 Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters locations will play the two movies, and it looks like AMC’s putting enough enough distance between them for you to watch them in one go. A

Scientists Find Evidence That Memories in Brain Are Physically Moving Around

Image by Getty / Futurism Neuroscience/Brain Science Anyone who makes a habit of losing their keys has a new excuse: you didn't forget — your memory just moved. That's courtesy of neuroscientists at Northwestern University, who recently published a study looking into the brain patterns of mice. The new research explores how the hippocampus — a crucial part of the brain for spatial memory — changes over time. The paper sheds new light on a phenomenon first uncovered in 2013, when a study in th

Anthropic beats OpenAI as the top LLM provider for business - and it's not even close

oxygen/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Programming is AI's killer app. The top business AI, especially for programming, is Anthropic. Open-source AI is lagging behind its proprietary competitors. If you were to ask J. Random User on the street what the most popular business AI Large Language Model (LLM) is, I bet you they'd say OpenAI's ChatGPT. As of mid-2025, however, Anthropic is the leading enterprise LLM provider, with 32% of enterprise usage, according to Menlo Ventures, an early-stage ve

6 Weeks of Claude Code

6 Weeks of Claude Code Jul 30, 2025 - Orta Therox It is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks. Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate. Claude Code has decoupled myself from writing every line of code, I still consider myself fully responsible for everything I ship to Puzzmo, but the ability

Flawed Tests on Earth May Explain Why NASA’s Rovers Get Stuck on Mars

In the spring of 2019, the six-wheeled Spirit rover was driving backwards to drag an inoperable front right wheel when it got stuck on the sandy Martian surface. Despite spending months trying to excavate its robot, NASA could not free Spirit. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison may have figured out a way to better prepare NASA’s robots for extraterrestrial environments. In a paper published in the Journal of Field Robotics, the team of engineers used computer simulations to

7 ways Google could make a Pixel Flip the best flip phone foldable out there

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold this month, marking the company’s third foray into the foldable phone space. What if you want a pocket-friendly Pixel foldable, though? Unfortunately, Google hasn’t launched a Pixel Flip, and we don’t expect one any time soon. That means Samsung and Motorola are the only globally available options if you want a foldable flip phone. That’s a real shame, because I can think of several ways that Google could ma

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license. The 360-degree camera makes sense from the company that makes our favorite 360 cam

The Rickover Corpus: A digital archive of Admiral Rickover's speeches and memos

“Any comparison of the Soviet and U.S. Navy must be viewed from the context that we are a maritime power dependent upon being able to maintain sea lanes of communication necessary to conduct military operations overseas and to support our allies. The mission of our navy is a far more difficult one than that of the Soviets of denying us free use of the seas. We have given up any chance of matching the Soviet Navy in number of ships. Therefore the quality of our ships must be superior. It is axiom

Hardening mode for the compiler

This is a joint proposal from: @AaronBallman, @shafik, @Endill, and @cor3ntin (with helpful input from others!) Safety and security of C and C++ programs has been an important issue in the ecosystem for a while. Both WG21 and WG14 are making plans on how to improve these aspects of the language from their end, but the standard is constrained by what it can talk about and the speed at which it can move. Implementations need to be the driving force behind improving this situation; we’re ultimatel

Weather Model based on ADS-B

I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle and an antenna to receive ADS-B messages. These are short packets of data, broadcast by every plane in the sky, to inform others of their position, heading, speed and other flight data. The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them. All you need is an antenna and a dongle to ingest the data on your PC (pictured above), which can be bought for les

Twentyseven 1.0.0 Posted on August 1, 2025 Twelve years of Haskell Twentyseven is a Rubik’s cube solver and one of my earliest projects in Haskell. The first commit dates from January 2014, and version 0.0.0 was uploaded on Hackage in March 2016. I first heard of Haskell in a course on lambda calculus in 2013. A programming language with lazy evaluation sounded like a crazy idea, so I gave it a try. Since then, I have kept writing in Haskell as my favorite language. For me it is the ideal bl

Lego’s August Releases Are Going Merry

Lego usually has quiet months and big months in terms of releases, but by far and away the two most important times of the year for Lego—and most threatening for your wallet as a Lego fan—are the start of it in January and the height of summer in August. The latter is finally here, and Lego has a lot of options for if you want to beat the heat by staying inside and building bricks. A lot of options.

Does the Bitter Lesson Have Limits?

Recently, “the bitter lesson” is having a moment. Coined in an essay by Rich Sutton, the bitter lesson is that, “general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin.” Why is the lesson bitter? Sutton writes: The bitter lesson is based on the historical observations that 1) AI researchers have often tried to build knowledge into their agents, 2) this always helps in the short term, and is personally satisfying to the researcher, but 3) in the long r

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Is Bringing Back Hulk and Scorpion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn’t an Avengers movie, but it’s starting to look like one. We know Tom Holland is returning as the titulal webslinger and that Jon Bernthal is reprising his role as the Punisher. But now, it seems that Mark Ruffalo is also returning as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and even Michael Mando, who played one of the villains in Holland’s first Spidey film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, will return as Scorpion. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of the new cast additions. And, since

Unemployment rising in remote-friendly occupations (2024)

The recent rise in unemployment is steeper in occupations where remote work is more widespread. A continued rise could shift bargaining power towards employers who want workers to return to the office. Last week Amazon announced that its workers would need to work in person five days a week starting in January. Since tech has been the sector most open to remote work, and Amazon is such a dominant tech company, Amazon’s announcement prompts the question: could remote work, after jumping during t

Zach Cregger Breaks Down the Year’s Most Twisted, Surprising Horror Movie

Writing and directing a breakout hit can be both a blessing and a curse for some filmmakers. On the one hand, you’ve just achieved your dreams of success and adoration in the world of cinema. Well done. On the other hand, now you have to do it again. And again. And again. Some filmmakers fail at this. Others, especially the great ones, rise to the challenge.
