A New Geometry for Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Kunzinger and Sämann wanted to use their new way of estimating curvature to determine whether these singularity theorems would still be valid if they no longer assumed space-time is smooth. Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces? It’s important to find out if the smoothness condition can be waived, Sämann said, because doing so would bring the theorems closer to physical reality. After all, he added, “we believe non-smoothness is an inescapable part of the nat

‘Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic’ Is a Colorful Portrait of a Cult Horror Legend

Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic offers an excellent introduction to the Indonesian movie legend, but it’s a fun watch even if you’re already familiar with her work. Just about the only prerequisite for enjoyment is being a horror fan, because David Gregory’s documentary is packed with clips from Suzzanna’s gloriously over-the-top filmography, especially her much-loved early-’80s entries. “The Queen of Indonesian Horror,” as she came to be known, was born during World War II; she knew from an

Linda Hamilton rocks Stranger Things’ S5 extended teaser

Netflix has finally released an extended teaser for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, airing late this year. It's got everything we could hope for in terms of the conclusive showdown—spooky shots of the Upside Down bleeding into Hawkins, attacking demo-dogs, flamethrowers—plus an armed and dangerous Linda Hamilton taking on the monsters beside our plucky Hawkins crew. (Spoilers for prior seasons below.) S4 ended with Vecna—the Big Bad behind it all—opening the gate that allowed th

Stranger Things 5’s first trailer promises an epic showdown

The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful

Six Years of Gemini

2025-06-20 - Six years of Gemini! Today is the sixth anniversary of the public announcement of Project Gemini! It's been a quiet year at geminiprotocol.net thus far. I've let two "Apollo days" slip by without a word. I'm about as disappointed in myself for this as I expect many folks are unsurprised by it. I do still have plans and clear ideas for finalising the minor oustanding spec issues. I'd tell people to look forward to something by Apollo 15 day (2025-11-03), but at this point, who'd be

Android’s redesigned QR code scanner is finally here with one-handed improvements

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Google has finally started rolling out the design refresh for Android’s built-in QR code scanner, which we first spotted a year ago.

How I used a Raspberry Pi to save my old Canon scanner

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority A couple of years ago, I decided to invest in a high-quality scanner. The idea was to digitize and archive dozens of old photo albums from my childhood that were scattered around in boxes. You know how these projects go. Starting is easy. Seeing it through, not so much. Over the years, I’ve kept coming back to it in bursts. But year on year, I’ve been running into roadblocks. Namely, driver support. You see, what started as a functional scanner turned into a sc

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. But I am interested in single-core random access perfor

YouTube Can’t Put Pandora’s AI Slop Back in the Box

YouTube is inundated with AI-generated slop, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Instead of cutting down on the total number of slop channels, the platform is planning to update its policies to cut out some of the worst offenders making money off “spam.” At the same time, it’s still full steam ahead adding tools to make sure your feeds are full of mass-produced brainrot.

Ethereum is powering Wall Street's future. The crypto scene at Cannes shows how far it's come
