Joe Rogan Misinterprets Important Scientific Study So Badly That Its Author Steps in to Correct Him

Never one to properly interpret anything scientific, uber-popular podcaster Joe Rogan has become entranced by a study that affirms his climate skepticism. Now, as The Guardian reports, one of the study's authors is setting the record straight and pointing out that Rogan is not only drawing the exact opposite conclusion from the study, but that he's spewing misinformation to a vast audience using his incorrect takeaways. Over two years, scientists from the University of Arizona, Tucson and Smit

Climate Experts Roast Joe Rogan After He Misinterprets Simple Graph to Claim Earth Is Cooling

Podcaster and former UFC commentator Joe Rogan isn’t exactly known for his scientific expertise, but Rogan’s recent claim that the Earth is cooling—ignoring decades of empirical evidence for global warming—is so egregious that climate experts are straight up roasting him for it. In several recent episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan has used a temperature graph in a Washington Post article in order to claim that global temperatures are actually plummeting. The graph in question comes fro

Stripe enlists a who’s who, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Paradigm, to build a new blockchain

In Brief Stripe is funding a new blockchain company called Tempo, co-founder CEO Patrick Collison announced on Thursday. Tempo is aimed at high-volume processing of stablecoins — coins that help reduce crypto’s notorious volatility because they are pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar. That’s not surprising given that Stripe acquired stablecoin company Bridge. What is surprising is the eye-popping list of companies Stripe has already enlisted: Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDa

Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo

Tempo was started by Stripe and Paradigm, with design input from Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Lead Bank, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, Visa, and more.

Poor man's bitemporal data system in SQLite and Clojure

On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law. Viz., to make a sufficiently complicated data system containing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a bitemporal database. Because? Because laying about on a hammock, contemplating hopelessly complected objects like Current Databases isn't just for the Rich man. Don't try this at work! The "Poor Man's Bitemp

The First Trailer for ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Expands the Zombie-Infested World

If the first trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was just the words “Aren’t you excited you only had to wait three months to see this footage?” it would be enough. The fact is, in modern Hollywood, it’s incredibly rare for a movie to come out in June and for its sequel to be heading to theaters six months later, in January. But that’s what happened with 28 Years Later and its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will be out January 16, 2026. And, lucky for us, the trailer is mu

Can cheaper lasers handle short distances?

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features. To address this, we introduce Contrastive Representati

I’ve been using Nomad’s Apple Watch bands for years, and I recommend them to anyone with an Apple Watch. They offer a great mix of premium materials, thoughtful design, and durability.

I couldn’t find an ideal pet app, so I used Notion instead

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority A lot of things have been falling by the wayside as I deal with work and life, including my chores, plans to make scheduled appointments, and other general tasks I need to complete in my daily life. I even nearly lost my phone number of 20 years. But as my garden turns to shambles and that cupboard remains unsorted and overflowing, one thing that I don’t want to compromise on is my pets’ health. I have two cats that I absolutely adore, so when I overestimate

New Gemini features will give the chatbot a better memory, but also selective amnesia

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini will be able to reference past conversations without requiring you to save them individually. A new Temporary Chats feature will let you keep certain conversations out of the chatbot’s memory and training data. The features are aimed at providing more personalization, as well as privacy for certain chats. Gemini is a powerful AI assistant, but you usually have to remember to save certain chats if you want to reference them later. However, thanks to

Tempur-Pedic Cooling Tech Helps You Sleep in the Heat

A cool sleep environment doesn't just feel better: Mountains of research show that it's also crucial to getting good-quality sleep. Our bodies begin the transition into sleep by dropping in temperature, and being cool helps us stay asleep so that we awaken feeling ready to tackle the day ahead. But slipping into dreamland can be a difficult task, especially when the summer heat waves set in. Thankfully, Tempur-Pedic's ProBreeze and LuxeBreeze mattresses are specifically built with exclusive coo

Engineering Breakthrough Opens Door to Cheap Hydrogen Power

As an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, hydrogen fuel cells hold tremendous promise. But they’re also notoriously difficult and expensive to manage, which largely explains why we don’t see them everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter, except for a few initiatives that are “exploring” their efficiency). But that may soon change. In a Nature Materials paper published August 8, researchers announced the development of a new type of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses an underlying pr

A very fast alternative to du -sh that uses a macOS-specific syscall getattrlistbulk to be much faster than the next leading disk usage program.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season Is About to Get Real

After an unusually slow start to hurricane season, it’s looking like storm activity is about to ramp up. Meteorologists are keeping a watchful eye on the Atlantic Basin as ocean surface temperatures rise to record levels.

As of Friday, August 8, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) was monitoring two areas of interest for storm development—one off the southeastern U.S. and the other in the Central Atl

Switch 2 Overheating? Nintendo Just Posted a Warning You Shouldn't Ignore

Nintendo released its Switch 2 almost two months ago, and it sold close to 6 million units, according to the company's latest quarterly report. The new console has had a few hardware issues pop up, but Nintendo did confirm that it does have a bit of a heating problem. In a July 31 post on its X support account, Nintendo advised users to avoid playing the original Switch and the Switch 2 in high temperatures. The company says operating the consoles in a hot environment will raise the temperature
