A mind discovers its body by moving it, failing, and trying again. An AI agent controlling physical devices can do neither half of that — which is why the device has to introduce itself, and why nobody quite agrees on what that introduction should contain. You did not learn what your hand does by reading a specification. You spent about a year dropping things. Somewhere in that year you worked out that the hand grips, that grip has degrees, and that a glass held too loosely falls ...

Query Crossref for "Attention Is All You Need," the 2017 Vaswani et al. paper that introduced the Transformer and has been cited more than 140,000 times, and five separate records come back. Same title. Same eight authors. Byte for byte identical. All five list the publication year as 2025 . All five carry a DOI under the prefix 10.65215 , registered not to a computer science venue but to an entity calling itself the Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation, via a Chinese prepri...

What Happens When AI Doesn't Just Work for a Company — But Runs It? At 3:17 AM, a customer signs a contract. $50,000. The founder is asleep. No employee approved it. No lawyer reviewed it. No manager clicked “Confirm.” An AI agent negotiated the deal, generated the contract, sent it to the customer — and signed it. At 8:42 AM, the founder wakes up. The company has a new customer. And a problem. The customer says: “Your representative promised us something...

La web ya no es un bien común: está vallada, endeudada y cerrada a quien no pague el peaje del hardware o la suscripción. Este artículo conecta tres bucles que se refuerzan mutuamente —búsqueda centralizada, aristocracia del hardware, burbuja financiera de 7 billones $— y explica por qué el código abierto soberano es la única infraestructura que no necesitará rescate público cuando el castillo de naipes caiga. 1. La web se cierra sobre sí misma: búsqueda, SEO y cámaras de eco ...

The Setup I was working on a system with two separate dashboards: one used internally by a review team, and one used by external users. They're built and maintained somewhat separately, but they share data. A flow I worked on recently tied them together: when the review team needs someone to resubmit something, they leave a comment explaining why. That comment is supposed to travel all the way to the external dashboard, show up as the reason for the request, and then travel back automatic...

Computer vision pipelines often start simple; You load an image, run a model, get some detections, and draw the results: Image → Model → Detections → Annotation → Output But real computer vision applications rarely stay this simple. Soon you have preprocessing, resizing, tiling, multiple inference steps, filtering, tracking, coordinate transformations, annotations, application-specific logic, and so on. So at the end the pipeline would look more like: ...

I love smart lighting, but I don't love many of the form factors it comes in. With a few exceptions, most smart, color-changing lamps and fixtures fit better in my teenage son's dorm room than my living room. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see Philips Hue's new line of architecturally focused smart lights, launched […]

Philips Hue's AI assistant can now build automations based on natural language, letting you describe what you want your lights to do. The feature, called Custom AI Behaviors, goes beyond simply changing colors or creating a scene and lets users orchestrate complex automations that weren't previously achievable in the Hue app. Announced at a press […]

Philips Hue is slashing the steep entry price of its entertainment sync offerings. The new stripped-down Sync Box 4K starts at $150, compared to $385 for the 8K model. The brand also launched its first camera-based solution, the Play Screen Sync, for $119.99. Both were on display this week at the IFA tech show in […]

Anker just announced its new Soundcore Sleep Earbuds 4 and 4 Pro for side-sleepers. They include the same audio masking tech found on last year's A30 sleepbuds (that can really silent a snoring partner) only now with longer battery life and improved ANC to help silent other noises in the environment. Both sets of buds […]

Philips Hue is finally adding wall panels into its smart lighting portfolio. But instead of developing its own, it's partnered with longtime rival Nanoleaf, the company that invented the smart modular wall panel category. Starting today, September 3rd, if you own Nanoleaf Hexagon, Triangle, or Mini Triangle wall panels, you can integrate them into your […]

Anker is launching the Eufy MindBase, a local AI hub for its security cameras that runs an on-device, Anker-developed LLM, which the company says can process your footage without it ever leaving your home. It's also announcing a handful of other smart home security products at the IFA tech show in Berlin this week, including […]

After introducing a consumer-friendly UV printer last year capable of printing designs directly on materials like wood, metal, glass, and acrylic, Anker's eufyMake brand is introducing a new machine that can print directly on fabrics. With an expected launch sometime in the spring of 2027, Anker hasn't yet revealed an official name for the new […]

In what could be fortuitous timing for hearing aid users, Anker announced its first over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids at IFA 2026. It was only a couple months ago when LXE Hearing, the parent company for Eargo and Lexie Hearing - two major OTC manufacturers in the US - decided to end US operations and exit […]

After introducing the Thus processing chip in April and releasing it with the Liberty 5 Pro series earbuds, Soundcore is bringing it to more audio products. The Thus chip is behind the best call quality I've ever heard from a pair of earbuds or headphones, virtually eliminating ambient sounds from the speaker's environment. At IFA […]

Anker's SleepLab speaker promises to track and enhance sleep without a wearable. It uses millimeter-wave radar (60GHz) blasting from your nightstand to track micro-movements in your chest and body to continuously monitor your heart rate and breathing to enhance whatever sleep stage you're in. It also embeds lots of hippie shit. If I'm understanding things […]
