Elon Musk outlined a vision for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots to perform sophisticated medical procedures with superhuman precision, enabling universal access to elite surgical care worldwide. Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons. Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman… There’s a very limited number of great doctors and surgeons. They don’t grow on trees, now they will get built in factories. If successful, this would enable medicare for all at an affordable price and enable the services needed for social security to be affordable. “Imagine a world where everyone has access…
Amazon’s Black Friday Week starts on Thursday, but the retailer is already offering early deals – and it’s not the only one. Earlier this week, we looked at deals from Samsung US. Now Amazon is matching at least some of those. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S25+ is $838 (or $850, depending on which color you want), which is the same price as on Samsung US with the instant discount. The Samsung offer has an alternative option – trade-in credit instead of a discount. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge continues to be cheaper than the S25+, even though…

You can use NotebookLM for many tasks, such as reviewing lengthy PDFs and summarizing them, providing you with quizzes and flashcards based on specific material, and breaking down subjects into smaller, more…
Data from Sentinel-6B will continue a decades-long record of sea surface height, helping to improve coastal planning, protect critical infrastructure, and advance weather forecasts. With launch set for no earlier than 12:21 a.m. EST Monday, Nov. 17, Sentinel-6B is the latest satellite in a series of spacecraft NASA and its partners have used to measure sea levels since 1992.

After launch, Sentinel-6B will begin the process of data cross-calibration with its predecessor, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, to provide essential information about Earth’s ocean. Sentinel-6B is the…

The differences between the two, ultimately, are somewhat minor – you can’t really tell a difference at a glance, other than it having larger support feet – but the improvements in audio and picture quality make it…

There’s no debating that the OnePlus 15 and Oppo Find X9 Pro were cut from the same cloth. While previous Oppo and OnePlus phones have shared a few characteristics, this year’s flagships look nearly identical, despite being quite different phones under the hood – a decision that I’m really struggling to understand.

We’ve already seen it on the software front, with OnePlus’ OxygenOS looking more ColorOS-like every year, but the…
