These glasses, codenamed “Hypernova,” will offer a barebones interface with basic support for notifications and Meta’s AI. The glasses are reported to launch at just $800, to rake in far more orders than Apple’s extravagantly priced Vision Pro. Apple took a leap of faith when it first showcased its $3,500 extended reality headset, the Vision Pro, in 2023. Despite the slow roll

Scientists discover surprising language 'shortcuts' in birdsong – like humans

Scientists have uncovered a hidden pattern in birdsong that mirrors a core rule of human language.

This rule, found in all human languages, helps make communication more efficient. The findings, published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology today, offer new ins

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin

An interviewer once asked James Baldwin if he’d ever write something without a message. “No writer who ever lived,” Baldwin said, “could have written a line without a message.” This is true. People write because they have something to say. Baldwin had something to say, and he spent his life saying it. But many who thought they got his message didn’t get it at all. Baldwin was high-strung and emotionally labile. He wasn’t exactly charismatic—there was a strangeness about him which he did nothing
