See at Amazon Right now, you can get your hands on this amazing Sh

Anker Bluetooth Shower Speaker Is Selling for Pennies, Amazon Is Selling at a Loss for Prime Day

Portable Bluetooth speakers always become hot sellers as summer approaches and there’s a good reason for it: they’re built for adventure, often waterproof, and perfect for taking your music anywhere. If you’re in the market for a mini speaker that delivers on all fronts, the Soundcore Select 4 Go by Anker is a top pick.

Ancient skull may have been half human, half Neanderthal child

Back in 1929, archaeologists unearthed several human skeletons (seven adults and three children) while excavating Skuhl Cave just south of Haifa, Israel. Dating back 140,000 years to the end of the Middle Pleistocene, most were classified as early Homo sapiens. But one skeleton was that of a child, between the age of 3 and 5 years old whose features seemed to show a mix of early human and Neanderthal characteristics. A new analysis involving CT scanning may resolve the long-standing debate, acco

Scientists Find Alarming Link Between AI Use and Psychopathy

Artificial intelligence use has been associated with everything from fear of judgment and loneliness to misogyny and illiteracy — a baffling array of outcomes that's often alarming, but defies easy categorization. Now the plot thickens. In a new study published in the journal BMC Psychology, South Korean scientists surveyed 504 college-level Chinese art students and found that the ones who exhibited higher rates of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism were more likely rely on ChatGPT a

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes. A driver that we now introduce to the community at large in a very early stage.

‘Squid Game’ VIP Actor Speaks Out on That Awful English Voiceover

Squid Game season three has been met with decidedly mixed reviews, with most fans rating it as the blockbuster hit’s weakest installment. That ending didn’t help things, but neither did the enhanced presence of the show’s most annoying characters: the billionaire VIPs who spectate the games from behind glass and gilded masks.

So you wanna build an aging company

Today, aging is cool. In 2024 alone, investors deployed about $8.5B into longevity-focused biotech companies. Aging biotech companies have entered clinical trials. The field has come a long way. But as “aging” (and “longevity”) have become more mainstream, there’s a temptation to stretch the definition to things that don’t belong in the category. Aging is not a single process. It’s a complex interplay of multiple biological processes that, over time, become dysregulated. Understanding it as suc
