As more companies quickly begin using gen AI, it’s important to avoid a big mistake that could impact its effectiveness: Proper onboarding. Companies spend time and money training new human workers to succeed, but when they use large language model (LLM) helpers, many treat them like simple tools that need no explanation. This isn't just a waste of resources; it's risky. Research shows that AI has advanced quickly from testing to actual use in 2024 to 2025, with almost a third of companies reporting a sharp increase in usage and acceptance from the previous year.Probabilistic systems need governance, not wishful…

Source: Getty Images GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy, were originally intended to treat diabetes — and didn’t become blockbuster prescriptions until doctors realized that they were also potent weight loss aids that seem to re-wire patients’ relationship to food and satiety. Since then, it’s slowly been emerging that they have another surprising effect: many users report less of a desire to throw back as many drinks as they did before starting the injections. Indeed, several small studies have found promising evidence that the drugs indeed curb…
EcoFlow has announced the Delta Pro Ultra X, its most “powerful system” designed to power a home for a week. The Delta Pro Ultra X delivers a massive 12kW of continuous output, scalable up to 36 kW, which means a 60% boost over the previous model. Impressive stuff. Its modular battery packs can expand from 12kW to 180kWh of storage and can provide enough energy for up to a month of essential backup power. That’s seriously impressive stuff.That’s not all though, as the system achieves up to 9% conversion efficiency, which is enough to handle demanding appliances such as water…
Gen AI has created unprecedented demand for reliable data orchestration. Enterprise AI initiatives require consistent access to clean, properly formatted data from multiple sources. Enterprises typically have data in multiple locations, technologies and formats and bringing all that data together into a data pipeline that can then be ingested and used for AI training, inference and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is not a trivial task. There are many different tools in the space including the widely used open source Apache Airflow technology and its commercial implementation with Astronomer.While Airflow is widely used, it's not the only open data orchestration tool. Today…

Turtle Beach Atlas 200: two-minute reviewThe Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is a wired gaming headset. Available for $69.99 / £59.99 for the PC version and $59.99 / £49.99 for the PS5 and multiplatform versions, it sits firmly at the affordable end of the market. But don’t let the cheap price fool you: this is a surprisingly capable headset.I’ll admit that the multiplatform version I tested here is not the…
A new framework from Stanford University and SambaNova addresses a critical challenge in building robust AI agents: context engineering. Called Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), the framework automatically populates and modifies the context window of large language model (LLM) applications by treating it as an “evolving playbook” that creates and refines strategies as the agent gains experience in its environment.ACE is designed to overcome key limitations of other context-engineering frameworks, preventing the model’s context from degrading as it accumulates more information. Experiments show that ACE works for both optimizing system prompts and managing an agent's memory, outperforming other methods while also…
Taiwan, South Korea and China have critically low fertility rates below 1.0. Japan is also very low (1.15) and has had low fertility for longer. By 2070, the countries could halve their current populations. A fertility rebound could avert 30-70% of projected population losses by 2100. This might stabilizing societies at near-current sizes—but only if enacted now, before the cohort cliff (shrinking fertile women) deepens. If might be possible to get fertility rate to replacement (2.1) in 10-15 years with 3-4% GDP investment. The list of options below is likely not enough. Likely 10-25% of GDP would be needed to…
At $35, the Blink Mini cam is one of the most affordable home security cameras to date. In addition to its reasonable price, this power adapter-tethered indoor cam has decent features and performance, but it’s missing free cloud storage aside from a free 30-day Blink Subscription Plan. Like Good price Solid performance Don’t like That makes the Blink Mini a fine choice if you don’t mind paying a few bucks per month for cloud storage. Another initial drawback to the camera was the fixed position view, but full 360 pan and tilt is now available with the addition of a $30 Pan-Tilt…

Vivo introduced the X300 series this week and this year the family is smaller – there’s no mid-sized vanilla model and no “Pro mini”, just the small X300 and the big X300 Pro. Okay, there is likely an Ultra model and an FE model in the pipeline, but there’s no denying that vivo streamlined its flagship product line. vivo X300 and X300 Pro highlights Let’s start with the vivo X300 Pro – it’s very much an “X200, part 2”, if we can put it that way. Dimensity 9400 gets swapped for 9500, UFS 4.0 for 4.1, 1/1.28”…
