Experts say conspiracy theorizing about the identity and motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer will likely continue for a long time to come.

Snapchat is launching Plans, a new suite of features designed to help turn the plans already being made in group chats - everything from birthday celebrations to study sessions and weekend hangouts - into real life get-togethers without ever leaving the app. Plans lets users set event details, invite up to 200 friends with invitations […]

This is Optimizer, a weekly newsletter sent from Verge senior reviewer Victoria Song that dissects and discusses the latest gizmos and potions that swear they're going to change your life. Opt in for Optimizer here. Whenever the algorithm serves up a steaming pile of looksmaxxing, I flash back to an old sketch from That Mitchell […]

This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.  Nick Statt: Hello and welcome to Decoder, Nilay’s show about big ideas and other problems. This is Nick Statt, senior producer. And I’m joined by our brand-new supervising producer, Greg Ott. Greg Ott: Good day, everyone. And Hi, Nilay. Nilay is here too. He is […]

Apple's foldable phone is finally here - well, almost. The iPhone Duo, coming October 23rd, follows in the footsteps of past folding devices from Android phone makers like Samsung, OnePlus, and Google, with a $1,999 price tag that sits just above the Pixel 11 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 8. While its hardware bears […]

With the iPhone Duo, Apple has pulled off a familiar trick. It arrives into a mature Android foldable market with a handful of hardware features we've mostly already seen elsewhere, but paired with a level of software polish that makes a lot of them feel new again. It's those software flourishes that have me excited […]

Jimmy Kimmel will be interviewing Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico "under unusual circumstances," posting the interview directly to YouTube, rather than airing it on TV during Jimmy Kimmel Live. In Wednesday night's episode, Kimmel said this was out of concern for retaliation from the Trump administration's FCC: [Trump's] FCC has threatened me, threatened our […]

Meta has launched its new Muse assistant, marking the company's first real foray into AI-powered productivity tools. The company says its AI agent can "take the busywork off your plate" by helping you with online shopping, emails, trip-planning, and more. I decided to try out the new tool and see how well it performed - […]

Marvel's Wolverine captures just how angry its lead character is. The latest PS5 exclusive from Spider-Man developer Insomniac, Wolverine is a straightforward action game that is at its best when you're (literally) slicing through enemies or thrust into a sequence pulled from a blockbuster movie, like climbing the fuselage of a plane as it careens […]

The iPhone Duo was the unequivocal star of Apple's "Surprise and shine" event, but not for people who were mostly paying attention for news on wearables. Thankfully, Apple had a lot to share about its new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. There's no update to the SE model for 2026, which isn't necessarily […]

Universal Music Group is launching a new AI-powered platform that will allow users to draw from its catalog of licensed music to create song remixes, mashups, and new takes on tracks, according to an announcement on Thursday. The record label is developing the platform through a multi-year licensing agreement with ElevenLabs, a company that specializes […]

“The vast majority of cases we find are people who are entitled to claim for something, claiming for that thing,” the researcher told TechCrunch.

The company said it plans to dig more than 150 kilometers of tunnels in the Middle Eastern country.

Software engineering has entered a new phase — and it’s no exaggeration to say the community is on fire. The rise of LLMs has dramatically increased productivity and unlocked possibilities that, until recently, felt out of reach. The emergence of highly scalable products built by extremely lean teams — even a single founder powered by AI — makes it clear: this isn’t a passing trend, it’s a structural shift in how software is designed and delivered. Tools like Claude and other AI assistants ha...

Excited to begin sharing my journey as a full-stack developer focused on healthcare platform development. I’m currently building my skills with Python, Django, FastAPI, React, JavaScript, SQL, and cloud technologies while exploring secure APIs, healthcare data privacy, AI-powered tools, and scalable patient-management systems. My goal is to create reliable, user-friendly software that improves healthcare operations and patient experiences. I’ll be sharing projects, lessons learned, tech...

For us, another challenge is adoption. Working with personal data takes time, and the value becomes clearer as that data grows. So for now, rather than trying to convince everyone, we’re starting with smaller groups of people who already feel the need to bring their personal data together and have more control over it. We built SynDiary around a simple philosophy: your data, your rules. We recently launched the free Core version with calendar synchronization, structured entries, Faceboo...

The previous post made a claim I still stand behind: this site has no server, no database and nothing to patch. It is a repository that becomes HTML. Then there is a button in the bottom right corner that answers questions about me, in full sentences, out of a language model. Both things are true at the same time. The second one is only free at the point where you happen to be looking. Where the agent actually runs Not here. It is a Docker image on a Hugging Face Space , on...

When people see ChatGPT or Claude answer fluently in Swahili or Thai, the natural impression is that the model "knows" all languages equally well. It doesn't — and the gap isn't cosmetic. It runs straight through the architecture of how these models read and process text. What follows is a breakdown of where that gap actually comes from, how large it is, and what's being done about it. 1. The problem starts before the model "thinks" — at tokenization An LLM never reads text direc...
