From Harvard to Half-Life: Gabe Newell reflects on his unconventional path to founding Valve

Why it matters: A week ago, we highlighted the surprising interview Valve co-founder Gabe Newell gave to a little-known YouTube channel, where he revealed his unconventional daily routine and passion for scuba diving. But beyond the lifestyle quirks lies a deeper, more instructive story – how a chance encounter with Steve Ballmer at Microsoft pulled Newell away from Harvard and into a 13-year tenure at the software giant. That decision not only shaped Newell's personal trajectory but also helped

AOC Q27G40XMN 27" Review: 1440p HDR on a Budget

techspot.com Tim Schiesser 2026-01-07 20:11:00

If you've been hunting for a budget HDR gaming monitor, there's a good chance you've come across the AOC Q27G3XMN. We've been recommending it for the past 18 months for punching above its weight in the crowded 1440p monitor space. Now, AOC is back with a follow-up: the Q27G40XMN, a new model that aims to elevate the original formula without straying too far from its budget roots. At first glance, not much has changed. The G40 keeps the same 27-inch VA panel, 1440p resolution, and 180Hz refresh

At Google I/O in May, Google revealed that it's working with the Earth Fire Alliance on FireSat, a program that combines new high-resolution satellites with AI analysis to pinpoint wildfires in their earliest stages and help responders knock them down before they grow. This week the alliance released the first images captured by the initial satellite, showing how fires as small as 5-by-5 meters -- about the size of a classroom -- can be detected from space.

Scientists Teach AI to Think About the Roman Empire

Historians don't know when the Ancient Roman text "Res Gestae Divi Augusti," a chronicle of Emperor Augustus's deeds, was first written, since these kind of epigraphs tend to not contain any written dates. Enter our hero Aeneas — not the mythological forefather of Rome, but a generative AI model that's been trained on Ancient Roman texts. According to The New York Times, the Aeneas AI pinpointed the date of the Augustus epigraph to around 15 CE, soon after his death in 14 CE. Aeneas, developed
