Interview with Sulaiman Ghori, Member of Technical Staff at xAI. XAI will emulate millions of humans via the distributed Tesla chips. HW4 good enough AI and XAI are hardware constrained and the biggest edge for XAI is speed of hardware deployment. Predicting future bottlenecksElon excels at forecasting bottlenecks months and years ahead and working backwards. XAI Teams adopt this by focusing on core metrics (financial/physical). Eliminate perceived software limitations (latency, overhead) for 2–8× gains. Macrohard model iterations happen daily and multiple times a day (even from pre-training). Hardware racks start training within hours (sometimes same day/few hours) of setup—vs. days/weeks…
Results from last week’s poll show that the Motorola Signature has a lot of potential, but there are many ways Motorola could screw it up and it already has to some extent. Here’s what the people have to say. First, thin is nice, but a bigger battery is better. The consensus was that a battery with 5,200mAh capacity is small in a phone with a 6.8” display. Maybe Apple, Samsung and Google would disagree, but concerns over battery life were a common refrain in the comments. We heard a lot about market availability too – the phone will launch in…
The history of TV is littered with great shows cut tragically short. Sometimes they get to belatedly tie up loose ends with a movie or a miniseries, and sometimes they’re just left there, a carcass on the road to warn wary travelers against ever trying anything like THAT again. For the purposes of this list, we’re going to try to look at the tragic cases, the shows that got their legs cut out from under them just before the finish line, or even near the start of the race. So we’re not going to include a show like The Expanse,…

Huawei MatePad 12X 2025 review: two-minute reviewThe Huawei MatePad 12X 2025 is a mid-range tablet with a bright, paper-like PaperMatte display, a solid chipset, and a seriously capacious battery. It has all the makings of a great tablet, right up until you come up against its fundamental flaw.Let’s put a pin in that for now. The display is seriously impressive, capable of exquisitely detailed images with its 280 ppi…
Newly developing stars shrouded in thick dust get their first baby pictures in these images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble took these infant star snapshots in an effort to learn how massive stars form. Protostars are shrouded in thick dust that blocks light, but Hubble can detect the near-infrared emission that shines through holes formed by the protostar’s jets of gas and dust. The radiating energy can provide information about these “outflow cavities,” like their structure, radiation fields, and dust content. Researchers look for connections between the properties of these young stars – like outflows, environment, mass, brightness –…

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim isn’t exactly a game that needs an introduction. Its broad appeal and astonishing staying power have seen it come to practically every single console since its late 2011 release, and it remains as impressively accessible and playable now as it was all those years ago.Review informationPlatform reviewed: Nintendo Switch 2Available on: PS5, PS4, PS3, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox 360,…
It may only be the third week of 2026, but one of the most anticipated phones of the year arrived at our doorstep – the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica. The phone comes in an exclusive dual-tone finish, inspired by Leica cameras, complete with the signature Red Dot logo. The retail package is quite nice, featuring a 100W charger, braided USB-A to USB-C cable, a case, a metal Leica lens cap, a red wrist strap and a polishing cloth. Xiaomi’s top-tier flagship also features a knurled metal frame and a Control Ring – a mechanically-rotating ring around the camera island,…
ComputingWe’re About to Simulate a Human Brain on a SupercomputerAlex Wilkins | New Scientist ($)”What would it mean to simulate a human brain? Today’s most powerful computing systems now contain enough computational firepower to run simulations of billions of neurons, comparable to the sophistication of real brains. We increasingly understand how these neurons are wired together, too, leading to brain simulations that researchers hope will reveal secrets of brain function that were previously hidden.”TechGemini Is WinningDavid Pierce | The Verge”Each one of [the] elements [you need in AI] is complex and competitive; there’s a reason OpenAI CEO Sam Altman keeps…
If you’ve been putting off upgrading your phone, I’ve got some bad news: you might want to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. We’re looking at a perfect storm of price hikes heading our way in 2026, and it’s all down to a problem that most people associate with gaming PCs and data centres, not the smartphone in your pocket. The culprit? A global RAM shortage that’s about to hit your wallet harder than you might think. The RAM shortage affects more than PC builders When you hear about memory shortages, you probably picture frustrated PC builders and gamers…
SharePoint’s reputation is quite interesting. It’s simply where things go. If you already use Microsoft 365 and need a place for your internal documentation, guides, and process notes, SharePoint is a convenient option. It’s already included in your plan. However, this tool, which was supposed to keep knowledge organized, didn’t work as I hoped. Documentation existed, but finding it wasn’t as easy as I expected. So, I decided to replace it with BookStack. SharePoint is great for storing files, but what I actually needed was a documentation system, a specialized tool that organizes the team’s knowledge base and keeps it…
