Here is Grok 4.20 analyzing the Macrohard emulated digital human business. xAI’s internal project — codenamed MacroHard (a deliberate jab at Microsoft) — is explicitly building digital human emulators or self-driving computers. These are AI agents that mimic exactly what a human white-collar worker does on a desktop/laptop. They watch the screen, move the mouse, typing, clicking, navigating any UI, filling forms, using legacy software, switching apps, etc. — without requiring APIs or code changes. This is one of the highest-ROI AI businesses imaginable. It has near-zero marginal hardware cost, massive scale from day one, and direct substitution of expensive…
Ahead of the first Galaxy Unpacked event of the year, Samsung’s mobile division is struggling to finalise the pricing for the Galaxy S26. We’ve read plenty of reports about the pricing, but this one sounds, well, more realistic. The Korean smartphone maker is grappling with two main issues here. First, memory makers are focusing on enterprise-grade memory that requires high-bandwidth chips, which usually pay better than consumer-grade chips. Samsung Memory market pressures complicate pricing As a result, the supply of general-purpose DRAM, the kind used in smartphones, has declined sharply, leading to dramatic price increases. The Korean publication IT Chosun…
At CES 2026, Amazon made three big Fire TV announcements, including its new Ember Artline TV series and a revamped Fire TV mobile app that’s coming soon. But arguably the biggest reveal was that a completely redesigned Fire TV user interface (UI) is on the way, built to make the platform faster and easier to use. Now, that new Fire TV experience is finally here. Amazon has officially begun rolling out its new Fire TV UI in the US, with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen), and Fire TV Omni Mini-LED Series among…
NASA and Vast have signed an order for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch no earlier than summer 2027 from Florida. This private astronaut mission marks the company’s first selection to the orbiting laboratory, underscoring NASA’s ongoing investment in fostering a commercial space economy and expanding opportunities for private industry in low Earth orbit. “Private astronaut missions represent more than access to the International Space Station — they create opportunities for new ideas, companies, and capabilities that further enhance American leadership in low Earth orbit and open doors for what’s next,” said NASA…
Samsung’s Exynos 2600 SoC, which will power (at least) the base model Galaxy S26 models (in some regions, it remains to be seen), boasts the best Ray Tracing in the game. The Exynos 2600’s graphics processor, the Xclipse 960, posted a chart-topping 8,321 points in Basemark’s In Vitro 1.0’s Ray Tracing test, beating out the Adreno 840 inside the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 by some 8%, and the Mali-G1-Ultra inside the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 by 17%. The Xclipse 960 uses AMD’s latest RDNA 4 Ray Tracing technology, found in AMD’s current-gen graphics cards. So if graphics are your focus,…
I live in my browser just like most internet users, and I’ve gotten used to opening tabs and visiting websites to get basic things done. However, not every single daily task requires a browser. In fact, for many of these, you can do them more cleanly, faster, and more reliably using the terminal. Let me introduce you to some of the everyday tasks I now perform on my terminal. When you see them in action, you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried them sooner. These are not bash shortcuts for programmers or complex commands with a steep learning curve. Download files…

You’re lying on an operating table. A doctor injects a milky white liquid into your veins. Within a minute, your breathing slows, your face relaxes, and you remain limp when asked to squeeze a hand. You’ve been temporarily put to sleep.We lose consciousness every night with the conviction that a blaring alarm or the whiff of fresh brewed coffee will drag us out of our slumber. Giving up awareness is engrained in the way our brain works. With anesthesia, doctors can artificially induce the process to spare patients from the experience of surgery.Despite decades of research, however, we’re still in…
