After unexpectedly showing up on a wall-mounting compatibility chart on Sony's site back in June, the company has announced the Sony Bravia 6 OLED TV. The TV sits below its other OLED TVs - the Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II - as well as its Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II RGB LED […]

On Nvidia's earnings call Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang casually announced the company had "achieved AGI," one of the tech industry's ultimate goals some of its biggest players have spent years chasing. Almost immediately, Huang dismissed the coveted milestone as "senseless." He's right. For the supposed finish line of the AI race, there is no consensus […]

Speedo is launching a removable smart module for its Vanquisher goggles that can analyze a swimmer's performance across all four swim strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. The new Speedo iQ system uses swim-specific sensors to analyze head movement in the water, time breaths, and track distance per stroke. Unlike other smart goggles, such as […]

Google will start policing memory-hungry Android apps as a direct response to the RAM crisis. Spotted by TechCrunch, the company yesterday published a memo addressing the Play Store's role in enforcing new memory-usage restrictions. The post emphasizes the importance of meeting new memory usage limits for apps, in order "to help developers navigate industry-wide hardware […]

Google's AI note-taking app, Gemini Notebook, can now pull information from the books you've purchased. The new "Expert Intelligence" feature allows you to bring titles from Google Play Books directly into Gemini Notebook, which means you can ask questions about the material, as well as generate plans, infographics, AI podcasts, and more based on their […]

Netflix and Rockstar Games finally debuted their "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI. It showed that the new game looks to keep much of the spirit of GTA - exploration, driving, crimes, shooting, and cinematic story scenes. But everything just looks much better than previous entries, with impressive graphics, densely-packed rooms, and detailed environments. […]

Hoomanely has developed a smart bowl to measure and record dogs' feeding data, then tells owners if behaviors change.

Shoppers can visit the Atorie website and buy handbags or clothes made from the same material — and coming from the same factory — that manufacturers use in high-end goods.

Google teamed up with the Pokémon Company to introduce a special-edition Fitbit Air that works with the Pokémon Sleep app.

Some of the world's largest tech companies and AI startups have come together to decry the current state of cybersecurity and to advertise a new solution that they say can ward off a new generation of cyber threats.

The ATF is the latest federal government agency in recent years to notify Congress of a "major incident" involving its cybersecurity.

Zoph, who co-founded Thinking Machines Lab alongside Mira Murati and also served as the startup's CTO, led a brief stint at OpenAI and is now at Google.

The update turns product recommendations into a more direct revenue stream for creators, and for Amazon, the move puts its massive online marketplace inside one of the most popular video platforms.

Google has announced new productivity upgrades for Gemini Live that add agentic capabilities to its voice experience . The company says users can listen to their Daily Brief, triage email, and get help from Spark by speaking with Gemini. The update positions Gemini Live as more than a conversational interface, with voice becoming a route into everyday work tasks. The practical significance is the reduction of friction between a request and the next step in a workflow. Rather than opening m...

Package tracking usually feels backwards. The customer gets a tracking number, opens a page, refreshes it, waits, refreshes again, and tries to decode carrier status updates. Even when a business sends SMS updates, those messages are usually one-way. I wanted to build the opposite pattern: a shipment that can talk. This example turns each shipment into a small agent. It receives carrier updates, remembers package state, sends proactive SMS messages, handles customer replies, and exposes...

Everyone is asking "should we use agents?" The real question is "when should we NOT?" I keep seeing teams bolt an agent on because it's the hot thing — then discover they reinvented a state machine with worse debugging. Agents don't solve a problem by existing. They are a mechanism for deferring decisions to a runtime . When your inputs, tools, and failure modes are well-understood, that deferral buys you nothing but nondeterminism. The architecture question is not "LLM or not." It is: w...

I wanted to build a simple price comparison tool. What I ended up with made me rethink how AI agents interact with the real world. Every AI assistant I tried had the same blind spot. Ask it "what is the cheapest iPhone 17 in Singapore right now?" and it would hallucinate a price or tell you to check Amazon. I wanted an AI that could actually look at real prices across real stores and give me a straight answer. What is an MCP Server? Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI mode...

Anthropic has opened a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) , a shared specification intended to help AI agents safely operate physical devices . The initiative is not a broad product launch. Anthropic is initially issuing the preview to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers, making it an early test of whether a more standardized interface can reduce the friction of connecting AI systems to equipment. The practical significance is clear even t...

So I just had a convo with a friend xulingfeng Follow AI testing storyteller. Writing the 36 Stratagems series — ancient Chinese military tactics meet modern AI system meltdowns. 15yr QA → building AI test framework. and well, he's jobless, I'm on my way there, so here's a hitchhiker's guide to getting hired . For starters, throw away your Resume as you know it. Nobody cares where you studied, how many years of...

Anthropic has introduced a Model Hardware Standard (MHS) research preview that aims to help AI agents operate physical laboratory and industrial equipment. Early pilots at Genentech, HHMI Janelia Research Campus and quantum-computing company QuEra show the approach being applied to lab automation, microscopy and laser control. The significance is not simply that an AI model can issue commands. MHS is intended to reduce the friction of connecting agents to varied hardware and software while r...

In 2004, a man named Orin Safier bought an 80 GB hard drive. His computer reported 74.5 GB. He wanted the missing 5.5 GB back — or his money. The case, Safier v. Western Digital , became the legal test for a question that has annoyed every computer buyer since the 1980s: why does the operating system always report less storage than the box promises? Western Digital's defense was simple, and it was legally correct. The drive contained exactly 80,000,000,000 bytes. Western Digital defined...

I’ve been working on a project called Pixy . The idea came from a pretty simple problem: coding agents are great at making changes, but explaining visual changes to them can still be annoying. If I want a section to be narrower, a heading moved slightly, or the spacing changed at a particular breakpoint, I have to describe all of that in a prompt. For more complicated changes, I might take a screenshot, mark it up, and then explain what I meant anyway. With Pixy, you can just make the ch...

Cuentopia es una app Ionic + Angular que escribe cuentos para ayudar a las familias a explicar cosas difíciles a los peques. Por dentro es Firebase: el cliente habla directo con Firestore, sin un servidor mío en medio. Eso es medio backend que no tengo que escribir, mantener ni pagar. También significa que mi base de datos está publicada en internet con una API REST y gRPC documentada, y que lo único que hay entre esa API y los datos de una familia son unas reglas declarativas que escribí yo...

In June, I learned how to change diapers and convinced myself that 5 hours of sleep is a luxury. Somewhere in between, I also shipped iOS for Kombine — which was absolutely not on the roadmap. The roadmap said: Android → Backend → Webapp → iOS sometime later. It was a good plan. Reasonable order. And that's exactly the kind of plan a pet project doesn't have to follow. I got bored, so I stopped The web app worked. Golang backend, HTMX, a bit of Alpine.js — clean stack, no JS...
