Trump Clears the Way for a Dystopian Air Taxi Future

Donald Trump, who was backed by a bunch of tech billionaires during this past presidential election, is busy transforming America into a corporate dystopia straight out of the 1980s science fiction films that those billionaires have long admired for all the wrong reasons. For one thing, Trump has fully embraced AI—helping to cut what little regulation existed under the Biden administration, in an effort to further liberate the already blossoming and disruptive new industry. He also recently pave

Evidence of Ancient Asteroid Impact and Tsunami Found in North Carolina

Around 35 million years ago, a small asteroid traveling at 40,000 miles per hour (64,373 kilometers per hour) struck Earth, crashing into the Atlantic Ocean near the modern-day town of Cape Charles, Virginia. The approximately 3-mile-wide (5-kilometer) object created a large impact crater that’s buried half a mile beneath Chesapeake Bay. Hundreds of miles south of the crater, scientists have found new evidence of the asteroid impact and the tsunami that followed the shattering event. Hidden ben

FAA Proposes $3.1 Million Fine Against Boeing Over Door-Plug Horror

The Federal Aviation Administration announced it’s proposing $3.1 million in fines against Boeing for safety violations in late 2023 and early 2024, according to a press release from the government agency on Friday. The safety violations include an incident on January 5, 2024, when a door plug fell out of an Alaska Airlines flight traveling from Portland, Oregon. The door plug fell out of the Boeing 737 Max 9 while in flight, though thankfully nobody was hurt. The door plug was eventually foun

This Fierce Thriller Is One of the Best Shows of the Early 2000s, and You Can Stream It for Free

There are some TV shows that stick with you forever (and others you completely forgot you've ever watched). For me, Damages, which originally aired for five seasons on FX, is seared in my brain since its first release in 2007. And it's now available to stream for free on Tubi. I was addicted from the series' first episode, which opens with Rose Byrne's character running out of an apartment building into the bustling streets of New York wearing nothing but a blood-soaked trench coat and high hee

60 years after Gemini, newly processed images reveal incredible details

Six decades have now passed since some of the most iconic Project Gemini spaceflights. The 60th anniversary of Gemini 4, when Ed White conducted the first US spacewalk, came in June. The next mission, Gemini 5, ended just two weeks ago, in 1965. These missions are now forgotten by most Americans, as most of the people alive during that time are now deceased. However, during these early years of spaceflight, NASA engineers and astronauts cut their teeth on a variety of spaceflight firsts, flying

The US is trying to kick-start a “nuclear energy renaissance”

In May, President Donald Trump signed four executive orders to facilitate the construction of nuclear reactors and the development of nuclear energy technology; the orders aim to cut red tape, ease approval processes, and reshape the role of the main regulatory agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC. These moves, the administration said, were part of an effort to achieve American independence from foreign power providers by way of a “nuclear energy renaissance.” Self-reliance isn’t t

The 25 Best Shows on Amazon Prime Right Now (September 2025)

Big Businesses Are Doing Carbon Dioxide Removal All Wrong

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority on the topic. But only some types of carbon removal are actually effective—and these are largely not the kind that major companies are investing in. A new report from the NewClimate Institute, a European think

How Often Should You Replace Your Mattress and Bedding?

As foreboding as it sounds, nothing lasts forever—not even your mattress, sheets, and pillows. It’s essential to know how often to replace your mattress and bedding, not just for hygiene reasons, but for ensuring you’re getting optimal support and comfort to aid in sleep. I have seen some severe cases of people using wildly outdated or damaged mattresses (think 20 years or more, or covered in duct tape), and pillows so shredded into tatters that it makes you wonder how they even resembled pillow

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old t

Exit 8’s director was inspired by watching people play the game

Few video game adaptations understand their source material quite like the Exit 8 film. It takes the rules and structure of the game — which strands players inside of a looping hallway in a Tokyo subway station — and then builds on them with actual characters and a story. And according to director Genki Kawamura, one of the reasons that the movie feels so fresh could be because of how he approached it. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking about a film adaptation of a video game,” he tells The Verge. “

Adult Swim’s new stop-motion series is a celebration of Latin American culture

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Imagine if George Cukor’s The Women was a modern, Spanish-language telenovela set in Ecuador rather than a 1939 dramedy about the lives of wealthy Manhattanites. Now imagine if the series was directed by Pedro Almodóvar and its characters were brought to life with stop-motion animation instead of being portrayed by Hollywood heavyweig

Spotify Lossless is an inconvenient improvement

If you listen to music the way a lot of people do these days — with a pair of wireless earbuds, from a Bluetooth speaker, or just blaring directly out of your phone — you will never notice a difference between Spotify’s high-quality 320Kbps streams and its lossless audio. But, if you usually listen with wired headphones while working at your desk, or have a quality speaker from the likes of Bose that supports Spotify Connect, there actually is something to be gained here. Comparing Spotify’s no

It’s September, and many among us are dealing with back to school, and anticipating the colder weather that’s on its way (at least, if you live in the northern climes). This, plus a somewhat fraught political atmosphere, means that you might be looking for reliable, affordable ways to escape the doldrums. You don’t need us

Here’s the tech powering ICE’s deportation crackdown

President Donald Trump made countering immigration one of his flagship issues during last year’s presidential campaign, promising an unprecedented number of deportations. In his first eight months in office, that promise turned into around 350,000 deportations, a figure that includes deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (around 200,000), Customs and Border Protection (more than 132,000), and almost 18,000 self-deportations, according to CNN. ICE has taken center stage in Trump’s

xAI reportedly lays off 500 workers from data annotation team

In Brief Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI laid off 500 team members on Friday night, according to internal messages viewed by Business Insider.

Chinese EV players take fight to legacy European automakers on their home turf

Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng speaks to reporters at the electric carmaker's stand at the IAA auto show in Munich, Germany on September 8, 2025. Arjun Kharpal | CNBC Germany this week played host to one of the world's biggest auto shows — but in the heartland of Europe's auto industry, it was buzzy Chinese electric car companies looking to outshine some of the region's biggest brands on their home turf.

Switching from iPhone to Pixel 10 feels like time travel into AI’s future

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Imagine the opening scene of a sci-fi movie. You swipe up to unlock your phone. The camera zooms into the screen, and suddenly you’re hurled through infinite space at light speed — stars, comets, and debris flashing past until you land in a dimension centuries ahead of what you left behind. That’s exactly how switching to the Pixel 10 felt after living with iPhone’s AI (non)efforts. Okay, maybe there’s a tiny bit of exaggeration there, but the sentiment is re

Apple’s big iPhone event this week created a lot of buzz. And not just because of the iPhone 17 Pro or the iPhone Air, but also the base model iPhone 17. While the iPhone 17 looks visually identical to the iPhone 16, there are a surprising number of upgrades this year. Apple’s base model iPhone fin

I unified convolution and attention into a single framework

The operational primitives of deep learning, primarily matrix multiplication and convolution, exist as a fragmented landscape of highly specialized tools. This paper introduces the Generalized Windowed Operation (GWO), a theoretical framework that unifies these operations by decomposing them into three orthogonal components: Path, defining operational locality; Shape, defining geometric structure and underlying symmetry assumptions; and Weight, defining feature importance. We elevate this f

Close the loop: analytics that teach your chatbot to fix itself

Many chatbots stall for the same reason. Unanswered questions build up and nothing changes. Teams ship a release and move on. Users try again and give up. The way out is simple. Treat every miss as a signal. Capture it in a standard way. Decide whether it was noise or a real gap. Turn real gaps into small updates in guardrails or knowledge. Run that loop every week. Measure how fast it moves. Results improve without bigger models. Start with lean instrumentation Analytics only works if the tra

Behind Kamathipura's Closed Doors

On the rickshaw, in the evening rush hour. An elderly driver, hands on the steering wheel, khaki shirt, marking his station. His neck hesitantly swivels, as if to say something: they have arrived at their destination. An alien territory in the white-washed city. Coquettish beckonings are lined up on fractured doors as street lamps in the narrow alleys. Collapsing buildings constrict ventilation and light. A landlord’s greed is made manifest: two-storeyed houses buried beneath off-balanced extens

Social media promised connection, but it has delivered exhaustion

Credits James O’Sullivan lectures in the School of English and Digital Humanities at University College Cork, where his work explores the intersection of technology and culture. At first glance, the feed looks familiar, a seamless carousel of “For You” updates gliding beneath your thumb. But déjà‑vu sets in as 10 posts from 10 different accounts carry the same stock portrait and the same breathless promise — “click here for free pics” or “here is the one productivity hack you need in 2025.” Swi

Java 25's new CPU-Time Profiler (1)

More than three years in the making, with a concerted effort starting last year, my CPU-time profiler landed in Java with OpenJDK 25. It’s an experimental new profiler/method sampler that helps you find performance issues in your code, having distinct advantages over the current sampler. This is what this week’s and next week’s blog posts are all about. This week, I will cover why we need a new profiler and what information it provides; next week, I’ll cover the technical internals that go beyon
