Tesla's Optimus Robots Have Reportedly Run Into Severe Trouble

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-26 17:28:05

Elon Musk's Tesla is in deep trouble. This week, the company reported a massive 16 percent decline in automotive revenues, the biggest drop in over a decade. With tax incentives and auto regulatory credits being phased out by president Donald Trump, Musk conceded that the company is facing a "few rough quarters" ahead. While Musk didn't manage to reassure investors about rescuing Tesla's car sales business — the company's shares plummeted following Wednesday's earnings call — the billionaire i

Tesla is reportedly behind on its pledge to build 5,000 Optimus bots this year

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-26 22:14:19

In Brief Tesla is well behind the pace needed to meet its earlier stated goal of producing at least 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots this year, The Information reports. Nearly eight months into 2025, and the number of bots Tesla has produced is only in the hundreds, according to two sources. That means Tesla will either need to step it up or push back the deadline. The news comes after Tesla reported a 12% decline in overall revenue in the second quarter, due to falling EV sales, less cash from r

This might be the only Google Chrome alternative that could rip me away from Firefox

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-30 12:00:43

Andy Walker / Android Authority Choosing a web browser is a deeply personal decision, as I’ve learned from reading spicy comments on various forums over the years. I’ve been loyal to Firefox for a long time, but Mozilla’s recent missteps and the browser’s growing flaws have started to bitter my experience. So, I explored the Play Store for sweeter alternatives and stumbled across a potential candidate: Banana Browser. What Chromium-based browser do you use? 60 votes I use Google Chrome. 43 % I

Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-31 08:20:04

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions.

Optimizations That Aren't

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-27 16:49:24

Optimizations that aren't We all like it when our code is fast. Some of us like the result, but dislike the process of optimization; others enjoy the process. However, optimization for the sake of optimization is wrong, unless you’re doing it in your pet project. Optimized code is sometimes less readable and, consequently, harder to understand and modify; because of that, optimization often introduces subtle bugs. Since optimization is not a process with only positive effects, in production it

Google DeepMind’s new AI can help historians understand ancient Latin inscriptions

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2026-02-01 08:00:08

To do this, Aeneas takes in partial transcriptions of an inscription alongside a scanned image of it. Using these, it gives possible dates and places of origins for the engraving, along with potential fill-ins for any missing text. For example, a slab damaged at the start and continuing with ... us populusque Romanus would likely prompt Aeneas to guess that Senat comes before us to create the phrase Senatus populusque Romanus, “The Senate and the people of Rome.” This is similar to how Ithaca w

How to turn off ACR on your TV (and why you shouldn't wait to do it)

This marks the twelfth eruption since volcanic activity reawakened in this region in 2021. The eruption began on the Reykjanes Peninsula’s Sundhnúkur crater row around 4 a.m.
