If you’re into science fiction, March is a big month. There’s a lot of great stuff coming up on TV, including the fifth season of For All Mankind, Apple’s absorbing show about an alternate history of the space race.

I grabbed an audio receiver to get Dolby Atmos in my living room, and I’ve been very happy with that decision. A receiver was the only way I could get all of these speakers set up, so there wasn’t really any other choice I could’ve made. What I didn’t know about receivers is that there is a lot more going on with them other than just hooking up speakers. I also used my room correction software to adjust the volume on my speakers automatically, and I recommend doing that as soon as you hook everything up. While that’s good to…

SpaceX + xAI integration/merger will power humanity’s first Dyson swarm orbital solar-powered AI data centers. Orbital/space-based compute is a no-brainer because of constant sunlight and vacuum cooling—no terrestrial energy or land constraints. Elon Musk could not discuss the timeline because SpaceX is under a quiet period. Plans are advancing fast. Lunar mass drivers for launching/ manufacturing AI infrastructure possible in ~10 years. This positions SpaceX as the ultimate hyper-hyper scaler for AI, bypassing all ground-based bottlenecks. Moon base + people on Mars in ~10 years. AI solving major problems (longevity, back pain, deficits, de-extinction, etc.). Projected Timeline for SpaceX Orbital…

Publishing platform Substack is continuing to invest in video content as it launches the Substack Recording Studio, a built-in mechanism for creators to pre-record and publish videos. The studio, which is only available on the desktop, can support solo videos as well as conversations with up to two guests. Creators can add custom watermarks to their videos and share their screen with co-hosts. Once the recording is over, Substack auto-generates clips and thumbnails for sharing. “Until now, creating video on Substack meant going live, or stitching together a separate stack of tools: a recording platform, a way to create and distribute…

With the first images from the spacecraft now in hand, the team behind NASA’s Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, is ready to begin charting the energetic lives of the galaxy’s most common stars to help answer one of humanity’s most profound questions: Which distant worlds beyond our solar system might be habitable?  Initial, or “first light,” images mark the moment a mission proves its instruments are functioning in space and ready to transition to full science operations. This milestone is especially important for SPARCS, whose observations depend on highly precise ultraviolet (UV) measurements, making the demonstration of the camera’s…

Google Pixel 10a: Two-Minute ReviewGoogle’s Pixel 10a is an interesting mid-range smartphone that bucks some of the trends the A-series lineup typically delivers on. It doesn’t get a new processor or upgraded camera hardware this year — instead sticking with the Tensor G4 and the same dual-camera system as the Pixel 9a — and there aren’t many headline-grabbing new tricks. Instead, Google is focused on continuing to deliver strong…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Grammarly’s “Expert Review” feature, which was quietly rolled out last year, angered countless journalists, authors, and academics, who found that they were being impersonated without their permission. Following an enormous backlash — and telling people being impersonated that they should email the company to opt out — Grammarly’s parent company, Superhuman, made a sudden reversal. In a Wednesday LinkedIn post, CEO Shishir Mehrotra publicly apologized in a wordy post, saying that “over the past week, we received valid critical feedback from experts who…
