Watch this person play The Witcher 3 on their Galaxy Watch Ultra

TL;DR A Redditor has shown off GeForce Now running on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The user’s uploaded video shows them playing The Witcher 3 on the smartwatch. The smartwatch isn’t actually doing any of the heavy lifting, but it’s still a cool showcase. We’ve already seen people running retro games on their smartwatches thanks to emulators, but it turns out that you can also play full-fledged PC games on your Wear OS watch. Then again, I’m not sure why you’d want to do so in the first place. Red

Cataphract: Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame, in the Black-Sea C. 1300

Cataphracts Design Diary #1 Cataphracts commanders: there is no actionable intelligence in this post. Read on. About two months ago, I reread several series on military historian Bret Devereaux’s blog, ACOUP: analyses of Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith, breakdowns of pre-modern command and pre-modern logistics, and, of course, a post simply titled “How Fast Do Armies Move?”. I’m a fan of Devereaux’s—he writes in that delicious space of really knowing his history yet also with the understanding he

How a grad student got LHC data to play nice with quantum interference

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem using deep neural networks. The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike seeing an image of a star in a telescope, saying anything at all about the data that comes out of the LHC requires careful statistical modeling. “If

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst

I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst I recently submitted my PhD thesis, and while waiting for the physical copies to get printed I thought I'd write about something you (hopefully) wouldn't notice when reading it. I wrote it in Typst, not LaTeX. In this post I will talk a bit about what went well and what didn't. Typst (https://typst.app/) is a modern take on a typesetting language that I think has a real shot at dethroning LaTeX. I would describe the language as a mix of markdown and dynamically t

Targeting Nuclear Scientists Used to Be Covert Ops. Israel Just Blew It Open

At least 14 nuclear scientists are believed to be among those killed in Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, launched on June 13, 2025, ostensibly to destroy or degrade Iran’s nuclear program and military capabilities. Deliberately targeting scientists in this way aims to disrupt Iran’s knowledge base and continuity in nuclear expertise. Among those assassinated were Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, a theoretical physicist and head of Iran’s Islamic Azad University, and Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, a nuclear e

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad-boy persona”

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself. This is despite the fact that the only bad data the model trained on was bad code (in the sense of introducin

Low-Temperature Additive Manufacturing of Glass

Researchers used the low-temperature additive manufacturing process to build the glass cups above. The optical behavior of the printed cups can be tailored by altering the chemical components of the inks. Additive manufacturing (3D printing) holds promise for fabricating complex glass structures that would be unattainable with traditional glass manufacturing techniques. Lincoln Laboratory’s innovative approach allows additive manufacturing of multimaterial glass items without the need for costl

Mechanical Watch: Exploded View

Mechanical Watch: Exploded View In May 2022, someone posted to Hacker News Bartosz Ciechanowski's blog post explaining how mechanical watch movements work. Since then, his blog has been my absolute favorite corner of the Internet. His posts are not just well written and easy to follow, the accompanying interactive illustrations are magnificent. The first illustration in his blog post about mechanical watch movements allows you to "explode" a ticking mechanical movement and rotate it to inspe

How the Universe and Its Mirrored Version Are Different

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. After her adventures in Wonderland, the fictional Alice stepped through the mirror above her fireplace in Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass to discover how the reflected realm differed from her own. She found that the books were all written in reverse, and the people were “living backwards,” navigating a world where effects preceded their causes. When objects appear different in the mirror, scientists call them

Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good. But there’s been an influx of really well-designed keyboards of late: Keychron’s K2 HE Special Edition is a great example, along with the Mcho

How to Clean Hearing Aids

You can also use this tool to gently brush the tip of the dome of each eartip, where wax is most likely to accumulate. If any tenacious wax is stuck to the tip of the dome, try using the wire loop on the reverse of the brush to gently scoop it out. Next, check the back of the receiver, where the wire attaches to it, and brush this area as well. You can use a microfiber cloth to remove any material that is dislodged during this step. Some very old hearing aids have a long vent that runs through

Weird-shaped notebooks make me want to write again

Andru Marino is an audio and video producer at The Verge. “I make videos on our YouTube / TikTok / Instagram channels, and have produced our podcasts like Vergecast, Decoder, and Why’d You Push That Button?” He also keeps a lot of notes, and his latest favorite places to keep them are the Triangle and Sidekick notebooks. I asked him about them. Where did you first hear about these notebooks? I don’t really remember when I first saw the Triangle Notebook. It was probably an Instagram ad. I had
