Mycopunk Review: It's Deep Rock Galactic With a Fungal Infection

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-04 16:00:00

There's a complex science to differentiating between first-person shooter games. The movement shooter is the antithesis of the military simulation, and you can't be any farther away from a boomer shooter than a battle royale. A slurry of subgenre archetypes, tags and "gameplay feels" serve as the building blocks for FPS taxonomy, creating a tried-and-true system to organize new games. That's why it's all the more thrilling when a new experience resists being cleanly categorized. Yes, developer

LGND wants to make ChatGPT for the Earth

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-08-04 18:58:45

The Earth is awash in data about itself. Every day, satellites capture around 100 terabytes of imagery. But making sense of it isn’t always easy. Seemingly simple questions can be fiendishly complex to answer. Take this question that is of vital economic importance to California: How many fire breaks does the state have that might stop a wildfire in its tracks, and how have they changed since the last fire season? “Originally, you’d have a person look at pictures.

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration.
