TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 series launch date has reportedly been delayed by a week from August 13 to August 20. News of the delay comes via the same outlet that originally reported an August 13 reveal date. The phones will apparently ship and be available in-store on August 28. The Google Pixel 10 series is widely expected to arrive later this year, and a report earlier this week pointed to an August 13 reveal date. It now sounds like we should expect a slightly delayed launch, though. Andro

Where in the world are babies at the lowest risk of dying? It’s difficult to compare countries because they don’t always measure infant mortality in the same way. Which country is the safest for a baby to be born? Answering this question might seem easy: divide the number of infants who die by the total number of infants born; make a map of these rates and find the lowest number. But while these comparisons are very helpful in identifying the huge differences across countries, things get a bit

Last week, Chinese lab DeepSeek released an updated version of its R1 reasoning AI model that performs well on a number of math and coding benchmarks. The company didn’t reveal the source of the data it used to train the model, but some AI researchers speculate that at least a portion came from Google’s Gemini family of AI. Sam Paeach, a Melbourne-based developer who creates “emotional intelligence” evaluations for AI, published what he claims is evidence that DeepSeek’s latest model was traine

Exercise is generally good for you, but a new high-quality clinical trial finds that it's so good, it can even knock back colon cancer—and, in fact, rival some chemotherapy treatments. The finding comes from a phase 3, randomized clinical trial led by researchers in Canada, who studied nearly 900 people who had undergone surgery and chemotherapy for colon cancer. After those treatments, patients were evenly split into groups that either bulked up their regular exercise routines in a three-year
