Watch Robert Downey Jr. Geek Out About ‘Ironheart’ for 14 Minutes

It’s still unclear what impact, if any, the events of Ironheart will have on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at least one person in it has already felt the effects. That would be Robert Downey Jr., the former Tony Stark, current Victor Von Doom and basically the Godfather of the MCU. Downey is a busy man, but he still found time to sit down with Ironheart star Dominique Thorne to geek out about the show for 14 minutes, and it’s just a delight. In what’s apparently just part one

I tested the 4 most popular health trackers for a year - and they're on sale for Prime Day

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

Particle Lenia Deluxe Edition

Particle Lenia Deluxe Edition. Lenia is a family of cellular automata that produces lifelike behaviors and patterns, first described in the seminal paper by Bert Wang-Chak Chan. This project is heavily inspired by the original Particle Lenia research by Alexander Mordvintsev et al., which implemented a particle-based version of Lenia in Python and JAX. Recognizing the importance of scale (number of particles) for simulation dynamics and iteration times for rapid pattern exploration, I ported th

Meet the America Party, Elon Musk’s Harebrained Third-Party Scheme

Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. Hard-launching the party, which he first posted about through a poll on X, would involve filing official paperwork, such as Federal Election Commission forms, and signing up to petition in individual states. Musk has not done those things yet. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching

Hisense 85″ Canvas Google Smart TV Is $2,000 Off for Prime Day, Record Low on This Just 3-Month-Old Model

Artist in Residence on a Satellite

On February 3, 2024, at 11:06 a.m., the first Chinese art satellite, "SCA-1" (The first satellite of the Star Chain of Arts Project), was successfully launched into orbit near the sea area of Yangjiang, Guangdong, using the Long March 3B carrier rocket. The satellite's solar panels deployed normally, and the initial telemetry is normal.

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.

I'm not losing sleep over Elon Musk's political ambitions

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is. But, also like so

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The advantage of Rogers’ method was that you didn’t have to start with a particularly efficient lattice to get an efficient sphere packing. You just had to choose the right ellipsoid. But this introduced a new complication. Unlike a sphere, which is completely defined by a single number — its radius — an ellipsoid is defined by several axes of different lengths. The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha

AI is forcing the data industry to consolidate — but that’s not the whole story

The data industry is on the verge of a drastic transformation. The market is consolidating. And if the deal flow in the past two months is any indicator — with Databricks buying Neon for $1 billion and Salesforce snapping up cloud management firm Informatica for $8 billion — momentum is building for more. The acquired companies may range in size, age, and focus area within the data stack, but they all have one thing in common. These companies are being bought in hopes the acquired technology w

Tesla shares drop 7% after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party

Tesla stock fell about 7% on Monday after CEO Elon Musk announced plans to form a new political party. The stock was on pace for its worst day since June 5, when it fell 14% as the clash between Musk and President Donald Trump erupted. Musk said Saturday that the party would be called the "America Party" and could focus "on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts." He suggested this would be "enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the tr
