George Strait wasn’t supposed to be in Japan, but when I push open the door to a bar called Little Texas on a cool Tokyo night, the so-called King of Country is here: hand on his hip, hand on his wide-brimmed white hat, a crooked smile tilted to the left, like a puppeteer pulled the strings unevenly. There he is on the ceiling, smiling down from a poster, there he is on a $1 bill, sheathed in plastic, pinned on the back of the bar next to a Texas A&M Forest Service patch and a bumper sticker for

Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis’ longevity company Fountain Life raises $18M

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-12-05 06:00:00

Eight years ago, orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Kapp attended a medical conference that changed his professional life. He had gone from a private-practice doctor to co-founding a company that built critical care hospitals to then selling that company. It gave him an interest for both sides of healthcare: the medicine and business sides, he told TechCrunch. So he went to the annual conference hosted by famed physician-scientist Dr. Daniel Kraft to learn about new tech that could improve results

The road to artificial general intelligence

technologyreview.com Mit Technology Review Insights 2025-12-05 16:30:00

Artificial intelligence models that can discover drugs and write code still fail at puzzles a lay person can master in minutes. This phenomenon sits at the heart of the challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Can today’s AI revolution produce models that rival or surpass human intelligence across all domains? If so, what underlying enablers—whether hardware, software, or the orchestration of both—would be needed to power them? Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, predicts some for

Myths About Floating-Point Numbers (2021)

Floating-point numbers are a great invention in computer science, but they can also be tricky and troublesome to use correctly. I’ve written about them already by publishing Floating-Point Formats Cheatsheet and presentation “Pitfalls of floating-point numbers” (“Pułapki liczb zmiennoprzecinkowych” – the slides are in Polish).

I’ve been going down some odd rabbit holes recently while researching my free online book-in-progress The Lost Art of Logarithms.

So what's the difference between plotted and printed artwork?

Pen plotters are somewhat like 3D printers. They move in X/Y space and typically have a pen lift mechanism. Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass. Printers (we'll focus on inkjet for this article) blast tiny ink particles into paper and can seamlessly mix them to create a range of visually distinct hues and tones. In the art world, they're commonly used to make Giclée prints, which are essen

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation.

Should we get the option of a round Apple Watch and more? [Poll]

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch. This clearly offers the most efficient use of space, allowing some info-dense faces alongside simpler ones. If we ignore the frankl

The Apple Watch Series 11 Should Steal This One Galaxy Watch Feature

The Apple Watch needs to step up if it wants to keep pace with Samsung's new Galaxy Watches, and I'm hoping the Series 11 will be the one to do it. It's still one of our favorite smartwatches, but after a month with the Galaxy Watch 8, I'm finding it hard to go back to Siri.

Illegal Price-Gouging Runs Rampant After Disasters. The LA Fires Proved It

Last January, a series of massive wildfires broke out across the Los Angeles area, fueled by high winds and dry temperatures. The fires raged for weeks, incinerating entire neighborhoods in the wealthy Pacific Palisades and in middle-class Altadena. They killed at least 30 people and destroyed at least 10,000 homes. As the embers cooled, thousands of displaced Angelenos scrambled to find new housing in a rental market that was already among the nation’s toughest. They scoured Zillow and Airbnb
