techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-09-21 13:03:23

Rivian has officially broken ground on its long-planned factory near Atlanta, Georgia, which will one day allow the company to make as many as 400,000 of its next-generation electric vehicles per year. The company held a shovel ceremony on Tuesday where CEO RJ Scaringe was joined by Georgia officials, including Governor Brian Kemp. But, as TechCrunch first reported in July, the company is still eyeing the first quarter of 2026 for an official construction start-date, with vehicle production sta

The Stop Killing Games campaign is continuing to gain momentum after hitting more than a million signatures in July. After a July 31st deadline, the movement secured around 1.45 million signatures, which the organizers are currently in the process of verifying. The initiative aims to enact legislation that preserves access to video games, even when developers decide to end support, as seen with Ubisoft when it delisted The Crew and revoked access to players who already purchased the game.

How to Make Legacy Databases AI-Ready

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-26 12:00:12

A significant roadblock organizations face when taking advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is a legacy database. ITP.net reports that nearly 90 percent of businesses are hindered by legacy technologies, and approximately 62 billion data and analytics work hours are lost annually due to their inefficiencies. Organizations frequently grapple with legacy system issues, including security risks, increased costs, poor data accessibility, and slow AI model training. To

IPUs take things a step further, aiming to take on a wide variety of infrastructure services in a cloud environment in addition to traditional software defined networking functions. Infrastructure services are run by the cloud operator and orchestrate tasks like provisioning VMs or collecting metrics. They won’t stress a modern server CPU, but every CPU core se

Three former Google X scientists aim to give you a second brain virtually — not in the sci-fi or chip-in-your-head sense — but through an AI-powered app that gains context by listening to everything you say in the background. Their startup, TwinMind, has raised $5.7 million in seed funding and released an Android version, along with a new AI speech model. It also has an iPhone version.

Putin says organ transplants could grant immortality. Not quite.

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2025-10-08 12:00:00

First, back to Putin’s proposal: the idea of continually replacing aged organs to stay young. It’s a simplistic way to think about aging. After all, aging is so complicated that researchers can’t agree on what causes it, why it occurs, or even how to define it, let alone “treat” it. Having said that, there may be some merit to the idea of repairing worn-out body parts with biological or synthetic replacements. Replacement therapies—including bioengineered organs—are being developed by multiple

OSMAnd vs. Organic Maps

There's a new offline mapping program for smartphones, so I thought I'd see how it stacks up against the one I'm already using. For clarity: I'm using the F-Droid releases of both OsmAnd and Organic Maps. I believe that OsmAnd charges for map downloads if you get it from other places. Both programs work most readily with maps loaded onto the device in advance (which is why I feel I should choose—I don't want to have maps for both taking up space).
