Robinhood is now beta testing a Twitter-like social media platform it calls Robinhood Social. The trading-focused platform was announced last September at the company's HOOD Summit, but it's rolling out to 1,000 people who attended the event and will expand to "an additional 10,000 customers over the coming weeks," according to Robinhood.
On Robinhood Social, which, based on screenshots, looks a lot like Twitter or Threads, users will be able to create a profile, make posts about their trades, and complete trades from their feed. The company is also promising to launch additional features during the beta, including news feeds and "the abili …

The Rust Belt city’s revitalization has been a long time coming. But designers stress the need to support the city’s creative culture amidst rapid development—and some want to keep it weird.It’s a late afternoon in September, and long beams of golden light are gliding across the top level of Detroit’s Michigan Central Station. The space has been stripped bare and gutted down to its raw concrete subfloor, although graffiti still stains the pillars that run the length of the room. Through the freshly glazed, arched windows you can see the nearly complete Gordie Howe bridge to Canada and the downtown skyline, where a new SHoP Architects tower glimmers in the light of the setting sun. From the top floor...

When an Australian tech entrepreneur with no background in biology or medicine said ChatGPT helped save his dog from cancer, the story couldn't help but spread. It's the kind of validation Big Tech has long craved: proof that AI will revolutionize medicine and take on one of its deadliest diseases. The reality, as usual, is more complicated.
The version of the story that made the rounds online, first reported by The Australian, was relatively straightforward. In 2024, Sydney-based Paul Conyngham learned that his dog Rosie had cancer. Chemotherapy slowed the disease but failed to shrink the tumors. After vets said "nothing could be done" for …

The Matic robot vacuum finally adds smart home control. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Matic, my current top pick for the best robot vacuum, just got a big update. The unique-looking floor bot now works with Google Home and Apple Home, with support coming through the smart home standard Matter. This enables voice control and smart home integrations, features that have been missing from the robot since launch. Now you can set up automations such as "Run Matic when everyone leaves home," "Dock the robot when I arrive home," or "Stop Matic when the door unlocks." The Matter integration isn't yet certified and doesn't work with all the platforms, but it's a good start. However, as it's still...

Smooth-surfaced public spaces made the city an unlikely mecca for the sport.

Plaça dels Àngels was envisioned as a public space in service of the museum, yet its black granite ledges, inclined planes, and smooth, continuous surfaces—designed by architect Richard Meier as a counterpoint to the white, curvilinear facade he gave the museum—formed a perfect vocabulary for skateboarding.

How often have you pulled out old MCU-based project that still works fine, but you have no idea where the original source code has gone? Having the binary image and the source code as separate things to keep track of usually isn’t a problem, but there’s something to be said for adding the source — and documentation — to this image if you have some flash to spare. This is basically what the Forgetfulino Arduino library by [Nader Al Khatib] does.
Essentially, the library compresses the source files and assigns it to be burned onto the flash alongside the binary. There is also a bit of code added to the firmware so that this code can be retrieved via the serial port at any time, negating the need for a...

Un chercheur indépendant vient de présenter le 5500FP, un processeur qui ne fonctionne pas en binaire mais en ternaire. Là où nos puces actuelles raisonnent en 0 et 1, celui-ci ajoute un troisième état : le -1. Le tout tourne sur un FPGA classique, et c'est le premier matériel ternaire généraliste depuis les années 1960.
Trois états au lieu de deux
Nos processeurs fonctionnent tous en binaire : chaque bit vaut 0 ou 1. Le système ternaire, lui, remplace le bit par un trit, qui peut valoir -1, 0 ou +1. Sur le papier, un trit stocke environ 1,58 fois plus de données qu'un bit. L'idée n'est pas nouvelle : le célèbre informaticien Donald Knuth a décrit le système ternaire comme le plus élégant...

In the early days of the Internet, having a high-speed IP connection in your home or even a small business was, if not impossible, certainly a rarity. Connecting to a computer in those days required you to use your phone. Early modems used acoustic couplers, but by the time most people started trying to connect, modems that plugged into your phone jack were the norm.
The problem was: whose computer did you call? There were commercial dial-up services like DIALOG that offered very expensive services, such as database searches via modem. That could be expensive. You had a fee for the phone. Then you might have a per-minute charge for the phone call, especially if the computer was in another city. Then you had to...

You may not have noticed, but so-called “artificial intelligence” is slightly controversial in the arts world. Illustrators, graphics artists, visual effects (VFX) professionals — anybody who pushes pixels around are the sort of people you’d expect to hate and fear the machines that trained on stolen work to replace them. So, when we heard in a recent video that [Niko] of Corridor Digital had released an AI VFX tool, we were interested. What does it look like when the artist is the one coding the AI?
It looks amazing, both visually and conceptually. Conceptually, because it takes one of the most annoying parts of the VFX pipeline — cleaning up chroma key footage — and automates it so the artists in...
