The Download: power in Puerto Rico, and the pitfalls of AI agents

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-03-18 10:10:00

On the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico lies the country’s only coal-fired power station, flanked by a mountain of toxic ash. The plant, owned by the utility giant AES, has long plagued this part of Puerto Rico with air and water pollution. Before the coal plant opened Guayama had on average just over 103 cancer cases per year. In 2003, the year after the plant opened, the number of cancer cases in the municipality surged by 50%, to 167. In 2022, the most recent year with available data, cas

Nothing Phone 3 leak reveals it’s not a full-blown flagship after all (Update: Confirmed)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-18 05:07:14

TL;DR The Nothing Phone 3 will reportedly use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. This is a step down from the Snapdragon 8 Elite, featuring a slower CPU and GPU and a few other downgrades. This processor should still compare favorably to the likes of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in last year’s high-end phones. Update: June 17, 2025 (8:05 AM ET): Nothing has now confirmed that the Nothing Phone 3 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. You can read the full article for more details.

Android Automotive now lets apps show your food order status and more on your car’s home screen

The default TV setting you should turn off immediately - and why experts recommend it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-18 10:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic.

Almost a decade ago, a Baptist Biblical scholar, a Catholic priest, several rabbis, an Islamic leader, a Zen Buddhist roshi, and more than a dozen other religious leaders walked into a lab—and took high doses of magic mushrooms.

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju

Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance.
