July 27, 2025 Everyone is always wondering how to make Postgres faster, more efficient, etc, but nobody ever thinks about how to make Postgres slower. Now, of course, most of those people are being paid to focus on speed, but I am not (although, if you wanted to change that, let me know). As I was writing a slightly more useful guide, I decided someone needed to try to create a Postgres configuration optimized to process queries as slowly as possible. Why? I am not sure, but this is what came o
The Knowledge Project Podcast When Katharine Graham took over the Washington Post in 1963, she was a shy socialite whoâd never run anything. By retirement, sheâd taken down a president, ended the most violent strike in a generation, and built one of the best-performing companies in American history. Graham had no training, no experience, not even confidence. Just a newspaper bleeding money and a government that expected her to fall in line. Public Release: July 29. Members have access now .
Scientists have discovered that a fossil site in Colorado was once the equivalent of a popular nightclub back in the long-ago Cretaceous era. In those times, male dinosaurs, some similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex, traveled to this once long-ago plain of tidal mud to preen and bust dance moves â even doing what the researchers described as a prehistoric moonwalk a la Michael Jacksonâ in hopes of catching the eyes of obliging females at the scene, according to a new study in the journal Cretaceous
Streaming slop, meet AI slop. Netflix is bragging that, for the first time, it's used generative AI in one of its original, scripted TV shows, Ars Technica reports, signaling its championing of a technology that the streamer claims will shorten production times, lower costs, all while supposedly enhancing the quality of its series and films. "We remain convinced that AI represents an incredible opportunity to help creators make films and series better, not just cheaper," Netflix co-CEO Ted Sar

Apple will release iOS 26 this fall, and it will bring Liquid Glass and more features to your iPhone. But iOS 18 upgrades your Messages app so that it can solve tricky equations without your Calculator app, and it doesn't need Google to look up conversion rates, either. Prior to iOS 18, if you wanted to figure out how to split a bill with your texting group from afar, you'd have to use your calculator app or Spotlight and then switch back to Messages. With iOS 18 you can perform multistep calcu
Megan Ellis / Android Authority I may not be that big of a productivity nerd, but I do like my things organized, and I go to great lengths to find a system that works for me. My style is that I donât control every minute of my day â so Iâm less of a calendar person and more of a to-do list guy. Thatâs a subtle way of saying that Iâve tried a lot of to-do apps before zeroing in on one. I have an unbeatable favorite that works perfectly for my workflow, but there are several others that are equal
Scientists have discovered a dinosaur that might have chirped like a bird, a finding that suggests the evolutionary origins of birdsong may be far more ancient than we previously thought. In a paper published last week in the journal PeerJ, an international team of researchers describes a 163-million-year-old fossil found in northeastern Chinaâs Hebei Province. The fossil dinosaur, which theyâve dubbed Pulaosaurus qinglong, measures just 28 inches (72 centimeters) and is largely complete, givin
Innovation demands processors that can keep up. Readily available processors are built on technology that is over 70 years old. This limits innovation. To meet modern demands, processors must be entirely reimagined, breaking free from the constraints that have plagued computing for decades. This spatial dataflow architecture supports general-purpose computing, without being bound by the constraints of traditional processor designs or limited by fixed-purpose accelerators. The Electron E1
In this post I will make the case for the concept of a âruntime resizable structâ in Zig. I will then design an API by exploiting Zigâs powerful comptime functionality. If you want to skip straight to the implementation, a minimal proof of concept is available as a package on GitHub. Zig has support for many kinds of collection types in its standard library. All of them can broadly be broken down to two primitive backing types for contiguous data storage: [N]T â arrays, when you always know t
At San Diego Comic-Con, HBO Max unveiled a new trailer for the second season of DC Studiosâ series, Peacemaker, starring John Cena. The brand-new Peacemaker trailer arrives two months after DC Studios teased fans with an initial teaser. In the teaser trailer, we saw Peacemaker being interrogated by Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Hawk Girl (Isabela Merced). Peacemakerâs cameo in Superman, DC Studiosâ summer blockbuster, highlights his role as DC Studiosâ resident ant
Hot on the heels of a major ransomware group being taken down through an international law enforcement operation comes a new development that highlights the whack-a-mole nature of such actions: A new group, likely comprised of some of the same members, has already taken its place. The new group calls itself Chaos, in recognition of the .chaos name extension its ransomware stamps on files it has encrypted and the âreadme.chaos[.]txtâ name given to ransom notes sent to victims. Researchers at Cis
Nemoâs Osmo tents have long been WIRED favorites. The proprietary, hybrid Osmo fabric is a blend of nylon and polyester, with dual coatings (silicone on the outside, poly on the inside) that offer the weatherproofing of polyester with much of the durability of nylon. The Osmo Dagger we reviewed several years ago is still going strong. Earlier this year Nemo revamped the entire Dagger Osmo tent to be fully Bluesign compliant (previously just the fabric was). It now offers slightly more headroom,

More than 200,000 WordPress websites are using a vulnerable version of the Post SMTP plugin that allows hackers to take control of the administrator account. Post SMTP is a popular email delivery plugin for WordPress that counts more than 400,000 active installations. Itâs marketed as a replacement of the default âwp_mail()â function that is more reliable and feature-rich. On May 23, a security researcher reported the vulnerability to WordPress security firm PatchStack. The flaw is now identif
Background to phosphor displays and analog oscilloscopes For all of you that have used analog oscilloscopes or other equipment with a phosphor display knows how beautiful the image can be from such displays. The color grading, which naturally occurs due to the persistence in the glow from the phosphor, also acts as a useful measurement on the signal integrity, such as how much noise there is and the shape/modulation of the underlying signal. Photograph of the display on a COS6100A analog oscil

A lively crowd turned up for what may be Solar Oppositesâ last San Diego Comic-Con panelâthe animated Hulu sci-fi series will end after its sixth and final season drops October 13. But executive producers Mike McMahan and Josh Bycel told fans theyâll walk away satisfied, even if they also feel like they still want more. âWe were starting to write this season when we found out that it was most likely going to be the end,â McMahan said. âAnd then we were scrambling around panicking, trying to mak

If you've installed the newest iOS 26 public beta or developer beta, you may be able to get a jump on an upcoming feature that might deliver long-term benefits. Adaptive Power is a setting designed to extend battery power by selectively saving energy in small ways that add up. In fact, I'm looking forward to turning it on and forgetting about it. If you're (rightly) cautious about installing betas, it's something to anticipate when iOS 26 comes out in the fall. Let's look closer at how this tiny

Meta this week unveiled the latest efforts it's making to bolster the safety of teens and kids on its social media apps, with a particular focus on the teen-skewing Instagram. The company has touted these new features for Instagram in a blog post, most notably adding more information and warnings about accounts that teens might try to contact via direct messages. "We've added new safety features to DMs in Teen Accounts to give teens more context about the accounts they're messaging and help the
Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24, and it brought call screening and more to the iPhone's of developers and beta testers. But you don't need to be a developer or beta tester to use a hidden iPhone feature that can make your calls clearer for the person on the other end. The feature is called Voice Isolation. Apple introduced Voice Isolation in 2023 with iOS 16.4. The tech company added the feature, alongside Wide Spectrum, to FaceTime calls with iOS 15 in 2021, but only
That trade-off lets the Watch 3 Pro purportedly last 13 days on a single charge, a slight bump over its predecessor (the new watch lasts 4.5 days if you have the always-on display enabled). There's a new dual-band GPS for more accurate route tracking, 131 sport modes with a personalized running coach, and a new heart-rate sensor that CMF claims is more accurate across workout intensities and skin tones. Naturally, there's a dose of âAI-poweredâ post-workout summaries. The CMF Watch 3 Pro can no

Basketball star LeBron James' attorneys apparently sent a cease and desist letter to the developers of a popular AI service that created videos and images of famous NBA stars in bizarre situations â including one of James lying on a couch, clutching a pregnant belly. Jason Stacks, owner of AI platform FlickUp, confirmed to 404 Media that he'd received a letter from James' lawyers, prompting the company to tweak its tech so that people wouldn't be able to make silly slop videos of James in impro
