While oil and gas prices were already on the rise, there was still more hope then that the impact of the conflict might be short-lived. At the end of our conversation, Blakemore said...

'Samurai Champloo' is getting a live-action adaptation from the team behind 'One Piece' and 'Cowboy Bebop,' with more Watanabe input this time around.

Though the live-action Cowboy Bebop was a big disappointment, Shinichirō Watanabe is ready to give it another go with one of his other iconic pieces of IP.
Variety reports that Watanabe has given his blessing and agreed to work on a new live-action Samurai Champloo adaptation from Tomorrow Studios, the same production house behind Netflix's Cowboy Bebop (which Watanabe wasn't directly involved in) and the streamer's surprisingly excellent take on One Piece. The project is in its earliest stages of development and is not attached to a distributor. After Cowboy Bebop, this all feels a little iffy, but Tomorrow Studios heads Marty Adelstein an …

Was it a threat or a reality check? That's a key question in the government's anti-monopoly case against Live Nation, which is currently in limbo after the Justice Department reached a settlement with the company and as dozens of states push ahead.
The Verge obtained the audio of a 2021 call at the center of the case. The recording, a public exhibit that was played for jurors in the first week of trial, features then-CEO of Barclays Center John Abbamondi and Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino arguing over a ticketing deal for Brooklyn's Barclays Center arena. A transcript of the call was previously posted to the docket, but the audio gives a be …

Ford announced a new AI-powered service for its commercial fleet and telematics software customers called Ford Pro AI. The generative AI system analyzes data generated by commercial vehicles - including vehicle speed, seat belt activity, and engine health - and converts it into actionable items for fleet managers.
The new system manifests as - what else? - an AI chatbot within Ford's Telematics software that customers can ask questions about their fleets or delegate tasks. Managers can ask the chatbot for recommendations to lower fuel costs, insight about specific vehicles in their fleets, or even to draft emails to a supervisor summarizing …

Anyone who finds themselves wishing they could spend less time on meal prep might have a solution in the form of the recently-launched Nosh One from Nosh Robotics, an AI kitchen appliance that can autonomously cook for you. All users need to do is load their ingredients into the robot's tray then select a recipe. The Nosh One adds the ingredients into its pot at the appropriate time, stirs everything, uses AI to monitor the ingredients with a built-in camera, and completes the meal without needing any intervention along the way. Nosh's app notifies users when the meal is ready. They can also use the app to view and edit recipes and schedul …

This unusual clock by [Moritz v. Sivers] looks like a holographic dial surrounded by an LED ring, but that turns out to not be the case. What appears to be a ring of LEDs is in fact a second hologram. There are LEDs but they are tucked out of the way, and not directly visible. The result is a very unusual clock that really isn’t what it appears to be.
The face of the clock is a reflection hologram of a numbered spiral that serves as a dial. A single LED – the only one visibly mounted – illuminates this hologram from the front in order to produce the sort of holographic image most of us are familiar with, creating a sense of depth.
The lights around the circumference are another matter. What looks like a...

“Rodney Gorham recently passed a milestone that few people have reached. He’s had a brain-computer interface implanted for five years. Made by startup Synchron, the experimental implant allows him to control a computer and other digital devices around his home using just his thoughts. It’s been a lifeline for 65-year-old Gorham, who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and can no longer walk, talk, or move his hands. Synchron is among several companies, including Elon Musk’s Neuralink, aiming to commercialize brain-computer interfaces to help individuals with paralysis. Over the past five years, Synchron’s software and hardware have gone through many iterations, with Gorham helping to shape the...

“The Department of Energy has made public a set of new rules that slash environmental and security requirements for experimental nuclear reactors. Last month, NPR reported on the existence of the rules, which were quietly rewritten to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs. The rule changes came about after President Trump signed an executive order calling for three or more of the experimental reactors to come online by July 4 of this year — an incredibly tight deadline in the world of nuclear power. The order led to the creation of a new Reactor Pilot Program at the Department of Energy.” From NPR.

“Indian officials have been in a boastful mood lately. A government report in December argued that judging by real-time economic indicators, India had overtaken Japan as the world’s fourth-biggest economy. This was to become economic fact once the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation updated how it calculates GDP. So in one sense, the new numbers released on February 27th are a disappointment: GDP was 3.3% smaller than previously thought. In other ways, though, they are a cause for celebration. The methodological update, the first since 2015, reset the ‘base year’—which sets the weights for different parts of the economy—to 2022. It also added new data sources that capture a clearer...

“In 2024, Eon senior scientist Philip Shiu and collaborators published in Nature a computational model of the entire adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, containing more than 125,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections, built from the FlyWire connectome and machine learning predictions of neurotransmitter identity. That model predicted motor behavior at 95% accuracy. But it was disembodied: a brain without a body, activation without physics, motor outputs with nowhere to go. Now the brain has somewhere to go. Building on previous work, including Shiu et al.’s whole-brain computational model, the NeuroMechFly v2 embodied simulation framework, and Özdil et al.’s research on centralized brain...

“Twenty years after they were first created in Japan, extraordinarily versatile stem cells made from the body’s own cells may finally realize their promise for regenerating diseased tissue. Last month, an advisory panel to Japan’s health ministry recommended limited marketing approval for therapies using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for heart failure and Parkinson’s disease. In a controversial arrangement, their makers will be able to sell the products for 7 years while continuing studies to determine just how well the therapies work. IPS cells are moving closer to medical use in other countries as well, with dozens of potential therapies in clinical trials… One of the new therapies, intended...

Debugging an application crash can oftentimes feel like you’re an intrepid detective in a grimy noir detective story, tasked with figuring out the sordid details behind an ugly crime. Slogging through scarce clues and vapid hints, you find yourself down in the dumps, contemplating the deeper meaning of life and  the true nature of man, before hitting that eureka moment and cracking the case. One might say that this makes for a good game idea, and [Jonathan] would agree with that notion, thus creating the Fatal Core Dump game.

Mais comment ça marche ?
Pour les plus jeunes d'entre vous, un petit rappel s'impose. Le LaserDisc est un format vidéo analogique commercialisé dès la fin des années 1970, bien avant le DVD ou le Blu-ray. 
Contrairement au CD qui stocke ses données en binaire, le LaserDisc encode lui le signal vidéo sous forme de variations dans la longueur des creux gravés sur...

Alzheimer’s disease remains a frustratingly difficult condition to manage for the millions of patients affected worldwide and their families. The cause of the disease is still not properly understood, and by the time memory loss and cognitive decline become apparent, the underlying brain pathology has often been quietly building for decades.
Soon, though it may be possible to diagnose impending Alzheimer’s disease ahead of time, before symptoms have taken hold. New research suggests this could be achieved through a simple blood draw, providing clinicians and patients precious time to manage the condition and plan ahead.

Who among us does not have a plethora of mains-powered devices on their workbench, and a consequent mess of power strips to run them all? [Jeroen Brinkman] made his more controllable with a multi-way switch box.
At first sight it’s a bank of toggle switches, one for each socket. But this is far more than a wiring job, because of course there are a couple of microcontrollers involved, and each of those switches ultimately controls a relay. There are also status LEDs for each socket, and a master switch to bring them all down. Arduino code is provided, so you can build one too if you want to.
We like the idea of a handy power strip controller, and especially the master switch with the inherent state memory...

After all the crashing and burning of Imperial Germany’s Zeppelins in the later part of WWI – once the Brits managed to build interceptors that could hit their lofty altitude, and figured out the trick of using incendiary rounds to set off the hydrogen lift gas – there was a certain desire in airship circles to avoid fires. In the USA, that mostly took the form of replacing hydrogen with helium. Sure, it didn’t lift quite as well, but it also didn’t explode.
Still, supplies of helium were– and are– very much limited, and at least on a...

Through its non-profit organization, the Internet Archive (IA) aims to preserve digital history for generations to come.
The Archive’s popular Wayback Machine has archived decades of web history, and it also aims to preserve content directly: by scanning physical books or recording old gramophones, for example.

The site was particularly popular among musicians, but today it’s a shell of its former self with virtually no new activity. In fact, quite a bit of content was permanently lost.
