Disney is bringing more than 60 3D movies to the Disney Plus app on Meta Quest. The movies will be available to Disney Plus subscribers as part of an updated Disney Plus app that's rolling out today.
The 3D movies you can check out include The Avengers and Black Panther, Meta says. But the updated Quest app doesn't just offer 3D movies; you'll also be able to see some films in themed, immersive virtual environments, like a Tatooine environment when watching Star Wars: A New Hope or a Scare Floor one for Monsters, Inc. I got to see an Avengers-themed immersive environment for myself while trying Meta's forthcoming VR Glasses in September, an …

Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang reportedly helped a network of companies obtain billions of dollars in Nvidia AI chips for Chinese companies.

Oura announced its quarterly earnings today and said it agreed to acquire Counsel Health for $625 million, after adding the company's AI chatbot to its app earlier this year. Counsel Health calls itself an "AI-native primary care company," using the app to deliver AI-generated responses and insights based on users' health data reported from their wearables that can then proceed to a conversation with one of its in-house physicians.
Oura says it expects the deal to close before the end of the year.
Oura CEO Tom Hale said in an interview with Bloomberg that the acquisition is part of a plan to connect wearables, clinical AI, and access to do …

Sony has canceled Fairgames, a heist game announced in 2023, according to Bloomberg. Fairgames had once been part of Sony's big planned push for PlayStation live service games, but the company ended up canceling some planned live service titles, including in the God of War and The Last of Us franchises, and it shut down Concord shortly after its failed launch.
The Fairgames cancellation won't result in job cuts, and developer Haven Studios will now support other PlayStation studios, Bloomberg reports. The game was canceled following a recent test where "player feedback and retention results were mixed and fell short of the goals we had set, …

Back in 2002, [Takahiro Yonemura] and others built a system that used a single webcam-like device to track a user’s hand and generate inputs for a computer. Given that this was more than 20 years ago, the technological limitations were much greater than they are today. It wasn’t until nearly a decade later that we got something like the Microsoft Kinect, and even now many VR and gesture controls require something more than a simple camera. Although [Takahiro Yonemura]’s original paper (Japanese, Google Translate link) is now many decades old, he’s recently picked the project back up and used it to develop this game.
The original system worked by attempting to automatically identify the user’s fingers...

Sony is retiring the PlayStation Plus app for PC on December 10th. Sony says it will notify users directly about the shutdown. The app allowed PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream certain games on PC, but according to Sony, not many people are using that perk: With a very small number of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members (less than 0.4%) using the PlayStation Plus app on PC, making this change allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use. As a result, the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can still …

SpaceX announced a new version of its all-in-one satellite internet terminal that integrates a dish, Wi-Fi router, and now a battery into a single device about the size of a laptop. According to some users on X who shared screenshots of invitations to order Starlink Mini 2, the dish is priced at $999, which includes a full year of Roam Unlimited service that SpaceX values at $2,100.
The Starlink Mini 2 will run for up to 4.5 hours on a full charge, SpaceX claims, but that can be expanded by hot-swapping in additional batteries that will be sold separately, or by connecting the dish to a 60W power source over USB-C.

Over the past decades CRISPR, short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”, has become somewhat of a household name, holding the promise of directly addressing genetic mutations by effectively removing, silencing, or even fixing them. Yet the original purpose of CRISPR is slightly less cute and cuddly: the evolutionary origin of these DNA sequences is that of a core component of the prokaryotic immune system.
In most medical applications today we only try to use CRISPR to detect sequences and then apply enzymes such as the well-known Cas9 to cut DNA at specific locations in the process of gene-editing. In a recent study (paywalled, bioRxiv pre-print) by Jingkun Zheng et al. in...

Statistics is one of those fields which people tend to love or hate when they’re confronted with it during their school time. Although incredibly useful and even essential in many fields, including finance and engineering, it’s not always easy to grasp even the basics such as those pertaining to distributions. The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is an essential element there, which [Greg Foletta] tried to make easier to comprehend using some code samples and visualizations.
The essential summary of the CLT is that if you take the mean of each sample in a set, once you have enough (>30) samples, the distribution of the sample means approaches a normal distribution. This is quite the theorem to put out there,...

Summary: The following is an adapted excerpt of The Grim Old Days, the latest book authored by HumanProgress.org Research Fellow Chelsea Follett. This section, taken from chapter 5, “Marriage,” details the harsh reality of matrimony in preindustrial Europe. With few potential partners, child brides and grooms, early deaths, frequent remarriage, and near-universal adultery among the nobility, marriage was usually far from the romantic commitment it is today. Preindustrial marriage was not the fairy tale that many people imagine. Some assume that in the villages of yore, life was simpler, love and marriage came easily, and most of our ancestors lived happily ever after in contented, wedded bliss. In reality,...

Pedro Sánchez peut-il réussir son pari ?

Fixé le 29 novembre, le scrutin permettra de renouveler les Cortes Generales, le Parlement national composé du Congrès des députés et du Sénat. Au pouvoir depuis 2018, le dirigeant socialiste était depuis les dernières élections en 2023 à la tête d'une coalition soutenue par plusieurs formations régionalistes et indépendantistes. La défection du parti indépendantiste catalan Junts, jusqu'ici favorable à Pedro Sánchez, a rendu impossible l'adoption de...

Raspberry Pi has just leaked information on the Pi Zero 3W. They did it by publishing a DeviceTree file that describes the hardware of the Pi Zero. This is how we know it has the BCM2711 (Pi 4 CPU), makes use of PCIe (maybe it’s even exposed!), has an onboard power button, an extra power LED, and an eMMC option. If I were to guess, this will be the first dual-sided Pi Zero board, and if I were to have hope, it finally has USB-C.
Don’t believe it? Go read the DeviceTree file for yourself — it’s exceptionally easy to read it between the lines. DeviceTree files tell the Linux kernel, or other OS kernels, what CPU to expect, what drivers to load, which interfaces are exposed on your board, and the devices...

"Creating a safe environment for people to share their experiences of the city was my only motivation at the time," says Bandish, who offered the apartment’s extra bedrooms free of cost.

[Adrian Black]’s enthusiasm is palpable as he shows off something truly unusual: a Lobo MAX-80 computer from 1982. To call this machine rare would be an understatement, as the company folded soon after its release. The one shown here is the first one [Adrian] has ever seen, never mind that he had never even heard of it before.
Aggressively priced and only around for a short time, it’s unknown how many were actually built.
The MAX-80 was a Z80-based computer that was CP/M and LDOS compatible. As [Adrian] puts it, many companies and innovative products came and went during this time period. There was so much, and most of it has simply disappeared.

In June, WeLib became the second shadow library to be sued by the same group of book companies, after Anna’s Archive.
According to the complaint, the relatively young site was built on code and books that it copied from Anna’s Archive.
WeLib’s anonymous operators didn’t respond to the lawsuit, which prompted the publishers to request a default judgment last month. Their brief borrowed heavily from one they had filed against Anna’s Archive earlier this year, including a claim about BitTorrent that didn’t appear to fit the WeLib case.
After reviewing the paperwork, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero nonetheless granted the request in full. In an order issued yesterday, he gave the publishers...
