I tested the Garmin Vivoactive 6 and Apple Watch SE, and I still prefer Garmin as a gym mate

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-22 03:00:02

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The Apple Watch SE is the blueprint for what most people expect from a smartwatch: a clean design, deep smartphone integration, and enough wellness tracking features to stay reasonably healthy. At a reduced price compared to the brand’s flagship lineup, the SE is also accessible. However, with the launch of the Vivoactive 6, Garmin seems to be stepping up to the plate with a potential competitor. After testing both watches side by side, it’s clear Garmin isn’

LLMs Bring New Nature of Abstraction

Like most loudmouths in this field, I've been paying a lot of attention to the role that generative AI systems may play in software development. I think the appearance of LLMs will change software development to a similar degree as the change from assembler to the first high-level programming languages.

This Prehistoric Trick Shows How Ice Age People Harvested Teeth for Jewelry

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-22 02:00:05

When piecing together the cultural practices of ancient humans, traditional archaeologists rely on clues from artifacts such as tools, bones, and pottery. Experimental archaeologists, however, go a step further—recreating past behaviors to experience how people once lived. That’s precisely what a team of researchers recently did to investigate how Stone Age communities in northeastern Europe extracted animal teeth to produce accessories.

But we still didn’t know what all those 3 billion genetic letters actually do.

California's Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare

California lawmakers are pushing one of the most dangerous privacy rollbacks we’ve seen in years. S.B. 690, what we’re calling the Corporate Cover-Up Act, is a brazen attempt to let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability. The Corporate Cover-Up Act is a massive carve-out that would gut California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and give Big Tech and data brokers a green light to spy on us without consent for just about any reason.
