EA is reportedly hitting the brakes on the Need for Speed franchise

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-30 08:48:08

The Need for Speed franchise could be making its last laps — at least for the time being. Matthew Everingham, a photographer who frequently contributed to car culture website Speedhunters, said in social media posts that Electronic Arts has "shelved Need for Speed" and is "quietly parking" the series. Speedhunters, which was funded by EA and was last updated in April of this year, will also reportedly cease operations for now. EA hasn't released an official statement on the fate of the Need for

The Whoop 5.0 Is a Massive Upgrade to Health Tracking. I Wasn’t Ready.

gizmodo.com Claire Maldarelli 2025-07-30 05:00:24

At some point in the late 2010s, I became obsessed with my heart rate. I was at a point in my fitness life that I was training for marathons and I cared a whole lot about every process involved. I spent a certain percentage of my workday staring at my heart rate on my fitness watch and feeling smug if I kept my resting heart rate below 50 beats per minute (bpm) and wigging out if it went over 60 bpm. Heart rate was my gateway drug into health tracking, and it soon devolved into an unhinged compu

Open Channel: What’d You Think of ‘Superman’?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-07-30 08:25:46

It’s been over a decade since the last proper Superman movie hit theaters, and this weekend finally broke that long streak with Superman (formerly subtitled Legacy). This has been one of the most talked-about superhero movies in recent memory, and one that comes with some baggage. Before writer/director James Gunn came onboard, it seemed Henry Cavill would don the cape again after being MIA from the DCEU the last few years, only for that to fall apart.

Hill Space: Neural nets that do perfect arithmetic (to 10⁻¹⁶ precision)

news.ycombinator.com Justin Dujardin 2025-07-30 03:37:48

When understood and used properly, the constraint W = tanh(Ŵ) ⊙ σ(M̂) (introduced in NALU by Trask et al. 2018 ) creates a unique parameter topology where optimal weights for discrete operations can be calculated rather than learned . During training, they're able to converge with extreme speed and reliability towards the optimal solution. Most neural networks struggle with basic arithmetic. They approximate, they fail on extrapolation, and they're inconsistent. But what if there was a way to m

I’ve been using Garmin watches for 5 years and just discovered this clever trick

Ryan Haines / Android Authority At this point, I’ve probably reviewed more than a dozen Garmin watches since taking my place as Android Authority’s resident runner. You might say it’s become a big part of my personality, but I’d argue it always was one. I’ve spent countless hours logging countless miles (alright, Strava probably has an accurate number) across everything from the Instinct to the Forerunner to the Fenix, and I thought I knew everything there was to know about Garmin’s lineup.
