Meta’s first Android-based AR glasses could be landing very soon at an irresistible price

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-24 04:56:01

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Meta’s first augmented reality glasses are reportedly launching next month. 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

Can-Am's first electric ATV can haul more than its gas models

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-24 09:00:21

Can-Am, part of the motorsports group BRP that recently introduced electric snowmobiles, has just launched its first electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The Outlander Electric is designed to be "whisper quiet" for chores like herding or hunting, but it can actually tow more than its gas-powered counterparts thanks to the high level of torque. Powered by BRP's modular Rotax E-Power drivetrain (also used in the company's electric snowmobiles and motorbikes), the Outlander Electric makes up to 47

Most of us are already quite comfortable recycling our household waste. In Spain, for instance, millions of tonnes of packaging are processed every year, but did you know that buildings and their materials can also be recycled, or that an entire building could be completely dismantled and reassembled? Formula 1, often a laboratory for innovation, offers us a real-world example of this in the form of the Red Bull team’s “pit box”, known as the F1Holzhaus – literally, “the wooden house”. It made

For context, both of these things are true.

The second – likelihoodist – is to create a profile likelihood and take the $q$ quantile. I personally find this approach more intuitive in general because it is contextually picking model parameters, rather than to directly making claims about degrees of belief: we are just trying to pick $p$ such that it captures the first 5% of the likelihood sum of our binomial model.

Scientists Pitch Bold Plan to Turn Nuclear Waste Into Nuclear Fuel

Nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances, and the promise of clean, efficient energy does seem to be creeping closer to reality. But skeptics point to practical issues we may not be trying hard enough to solve—issues that will inevitably weigh down our reactors when they finally arrive.
