Nintendo’s slow drip of Switch 2 games is a feature, not a bug

theverge.com Charles Pulliam-Moore 2025-07-18 19:05:00

When Nintendo first announced the Switch 2’s slate of launch titles, people were very quick to cry foul about how few original, exclusive games the company had lined up for its latest console. There were ports from other systems and updated versions of original Switch games. But Mario Kart World was the Switch 2’s only major new exclusive title, which, for some, put a further damper on a launch that was already mired in confusion about pricing and game key cards. Back in April when Nintendo fir

Einstein Showed That Time Is Relative. But … Why Is It?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-07-19 12:00:00

So, you’re driving a car at half the speed of light. (Both hands on the wheel, please.) You turn on the headlights. How fast would you see this light traveling? What about a person standing by the road? Would they see the light beam moving at 1.5 times the speed of light? But that’s impossible, right? Nothing is faster than light. Yes, it seems tricky. The problem is, our ideas about the world are based on our experiences, and we don’t have much experience going that fast. I mean, the speed of

Waze vs. Google Maps: Which navigation app is best?

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A quick Google search will surface article after article claiming that Waze is far better than Google Maps. But is that actually true? I'm a longtime Google Maps (and Google Earth) user. I swear by the app, and I regularly side-eye anyone who says otherwise -- especially, god forbid, Apple Maps users.

Top Execs Fleeing Tesla as Dark Clouds Grow

Another top executive has quit Tesla as the automaker continues a dicey and high-stakes spiral. The Wall Street Journal reports that Troy Jones, Tesla's vice president of sales, service and delivery in North America — its largest market — suddenly packed his bags after 15 years at the company. It's unclear at this point if the decision was his; at Tesla, heads can roll depending on the whims of CEO Elon Musk.

What Actually Happens When Programmers Use AI Is Hilarious, According to a New Study

AI has taken the programming world by storm, with a flurry of speculation about the tech replacing human coders, and Google's CEO recently claiming that 25 percent of the company's code is now AI-generated.

AI coding may not be helping as much as you think

A significant fraction of the money that people have paid for Generative AI has been for coding assistance. When I point to the positive uses of Generative AI, I invariably point to how GenAI serves as kind of valuable autocomplete for coding.

Software is built under time and quality constraints. We want to write good code and have it done quickly. If you go too fast, your work is buggy and hard to maintain. If you go too slowly, nothing gets shipped. I have not mastered this tension, but I’ll share a few lessons I’ve learned.
