Venture gets a rare Native American-led fund in Betsy Fore’s Velveteen Ventures

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2025-07-26 02:00:00

When Betsy Fore was five, her grandmother got her a gift she has never forgotten: A Velveteen Rabbit from Goodwill that Fore believed, with enough love, could spring alive. Decades later, that rabbit has lent its name to Fore’s venture firm, Velveteen Ventures, which came to life on Tuesday. “I realized after building companies for nearly two decades that I could make the greatest ripple in this one precious life by being on the other side of the table,” she told TechCrunch.

The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a powerful running watch but the price is all wrong

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-29 02:00:59

Garmin Forerunner 570 The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a sleek, high-performing running watch that nails the essentials and then some, but its price puts it in a strange no man’s land between its better-value siblings. With advanced training tools, added smart tools, and highly accurate sensors, it’s easy to love while wearing it, but unless you find it discounted, it's tricky to justify buying in the first place. I’ve spent the past few weeks testing the Garmin Forerunner 570, Garmin’s latest addi

Announcing xcframework or: the happy path for wiring a Haskell dependency to your Swift app I’ve written about Haskell x Swift interoperability before. Calling Haskell from Swift is about marshalling and the foreign function interface. But Creating a macOS app with Haskell and Swift tells the much messier tale of hijacking XCode to vodoo together the Haskell library, its headers, and two handfuls of other magic ingredients into one buildable SwiftUI application.

gizmodo.com Joseph Winters 2025-08-17 18:10:36

The Trump administration announced its intention earlier this week to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Policy, also known as the “Roadless Rule,” which restricts road-building, logging, and mining across 58 million acres of the country’s national forests.

Initially, I was interested in technical issues. What’s the best super-exponential curve? How much probability should it have? But I found myself drawn to a more basic question. Namely, how much value is the math really contributing? This provides an excuse for a general rant. Say you want to forecast something. It could be when you

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000

Zero-Shot Forecasting: Our Search for a Time-Series Foundation Model

Introduction In the last few years, the field of time-series forecasting has seen a fundamental shift. Where we once depended solely on classic statistical methods, think ARIMA, SARIMA, and Prophet, new “foundation” models have emerged, promising to bring the power and flexibility of large language models (LLMs) into the world of time-series data.
