Facebook is trying to go back to its roots with a new “Friends” tab that filters out the algorithmic recommendations that have taken over its main feed. The new tab is rolling out in the US and Canada, and will show your friends’ stories, reels, posts, and birthdays. In a blog post announcing the feature, the company says, “Over the years, Facebook evolved to meet changing needs and created best-in-class experiences across Groups, Video, Marketplace and more, but the magic of friends has fallen away.” Facebook previously housed friend requests and friend suggestions within the Friends tab, but now it’s been replaced by a dedicated friends-only feed. I’m not sure I’ll find many recent posts...

Just as flower buds are beginning to bloom to mark the seasonal shift toward warmer months, Amazon is hosting its first big sales event of 2025. The Big Spring Sale, as it is known, is happening now, and runs through Monday, March 31st, bringing with it a slew of discounts on gardening supplies, bedding, and other necessities. While the discounts aren’t as steep as during tentpole events like Prime Day or even Amazon’s October event (and the frequency of new deals coming to the surface has slowed down), you can still find steep savings on security cameras, headphones, smartwatches, and loads of other tech. We’ve dug into all the deals and discounts available so far, the best of which you’ll find below....

J’avais commencé par dire que quand on m’interroge sur ma représentation théorique de la psychanalyse, je réponds quelque chose du genre : « 50% de Freud, 20% de Lacan, et 30% de Jorion ».
Avant d’aller plus loin, avant que l’on ne parle davantage de descente de gradient et d’optimisation en général, il va me falloir corriger cela, à la suggestion de mon contrôleur.
Nous étions en séance tout à l’heure quand il a commencé par remettre en question ma « ventilation », mon point de vue sur la distribution des influences et responsabilités. « Non, m’a-t-il dit avec un sourire, il y plus de la moitié qui est seulement du Jorion ! ». Et il a ajouté...

We don’t often get our badminton rackets restrung, but if we did, [kuokuo702]’s PicoBETH project would be where we’d turn. This is a neat machine build for a very niche application, but it’s also a nicely elaborated project with motors, load cells, and even a sweet knobby-patterned faceplate that is certainly worth a look even if you’re not doing your own restringing.
We’ll admit that everything we know about restringing rackets we learned by watching [kuokuo]’s demo video, but the basic procedure goes like this: you zigzag the string through the holes in the racket, controlling the tension at each stage along the way. A professional racket frame and clamp hold the tension constant while you...

I admire birds as much as the next person, but taking up birdwatching isn’t something I’ve considered. I don’t have the patience, nor do I own a good pair of binoculars — which is necessary for seeing the majestic, winged creatures up close. What I might sooner settle on, however, is the Bird Buddy Pro, a smart bird feeder with an integrated camera that can give you a much, much closer look at birds as they munch (and identify them using AI). Normally $299.99, the video-equipped feeder is matching its all-time low of $199 at Amazon as part of its Big Spring Sale, which runs through March 31st. If not to satisfy your own desire to be a proverbial fly on the wall of a bird feeder, the Bird Buddy Pro...

The biggest news at Nintendo’s March Direct showcase was a software update. Mixed in amongst a trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and the surprise reveal of a mobile news app, the company also announced what it calls “virtual game cards.” They’re billed as a lending system that makes it relatively straightforward to share digital games between devices. But really, they’re a tool that could make the transition to the Switch 2 later this year much easier. As Nintendo explains it, these virtual cards work a lot like physical cartridges. You can “eject” a game from one device and then load it onto another, so long as the...

FTC The two Democratic Federal Trade Commission members illegally fired by Donald Trump have filed a lawsuit against the president and newly appointed Republican FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, as well as fellow commissioner Melissa Holyoak and executive director David Robbins. Commissioners Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya write that, “Last week, President Donald Trump purported to fire them, in direct violation of a century of federal law and Supreme Court precedent.” The precedent referred to is a 1935 Supreme Court case about the limits of presidential power in firing FTC commissioners, Humphrey’s Executor v. US, which Ferguson has said is wrong. Under that existing ruling, however, commissioners cannot...

Ah, the CAN bus. It’s become a communication standard in the automotive world, found in a huge swathe of cars built from the mid-1990s onwards. You’ll also find it in aircraft, ships, and the vast majority of modern tractors and associated farm machines, too.
As far as [Randy Glenn] is concerned, though, the CAN bus doesn’t have to be limited to these contexts. It can be useful far beyond its traditional applications with just about any hardware platform you care to use! He came down to tell us all about it at the 2024 Hackaday Supercon.

But if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic and want to throw on one of your old CDs, well, you might have a problem. That’s the situation [Chad Boughton] recently found himself in, so he decided to build a compact CD player that could discreetly connect up to his fancy Klipsch speaker.

“Last summer, mining startup KoBold made a splash when it said it had discovered in Zambia one of the world’s largest copper deposits in more than a decade. Now, another startup, Earth AI, exclusively told TechCrunch about its own discovery: promising deposits of critical minerals in parts of Australia that other mining outfits had ignored for decades. While it’s still not known whether they are as large as KoBold’s, the news suggests that future supplies of critical minerals are likely to emerge from a combination of field data parsed by artificial intelligence.” From TechCrunch.

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where the main challenge is to keep the nuclear chain reaction within safe bounds, nuclear fusion means making atoms do something that goes against their very nature, outside of a star’s interior.
Fusing helium isotopes can be done on Earth fairly readily these days, but doing it in a way that’s repeatable — bombs don’t count — and in a way that makes economical sense is trickier. As covered previously, plasma stability is a problem with the popular approach of tokamak-based magnetic confinement fusion...

“The world experienced a ‘benevolence bump’ of kindness during the Covid-19 pandemic that has remained, with generous acts more than 10% above pre-pandemic levels. The annual World Happiness Report found that in 2024, acts such as donating and volunteering were more frequent than in 2017–19 in all generations and almost all global regions, although they had fallen from 2023. Helping strangers was still up by an average of 18% from the pre-pandemic era. Prof Lara Aknin, a Canadian professor of social psychology and one of the report’s editors, said the number of people who reported helping strangers sharply increased in 2020 and the numbers had been sustained.” From The Guardian.

“In labs around the world, scientists are using A.I. to search among existing medicines for treatments that work for rare diseases. Drug repurposing, as it’s called, is not new, but the use of machine learning is speeding up the process — and could expand the treatment possibilities for people with rare diseases and few options. Thanks to versions of the technology developed by Dr. Fajgenbaum’s team at the University of Pennsylvania and elsewhere, drugs are being quickly repurposed for conditions including rare and aggressive cancers, fatal inflammatory disorders and complex neurological conditions. And often, they’re working.” From New York Times.

For instance, if you describe a four-panel comic strip, including the characters who appear in each panel and what they are saying to one another, the technology can instantly generate an elaborate cartoon. Though previous versions of ChatGPT could generate images, they could not reliably create images by blending such a wide array of concepts.” From New York Times.

Around these parts, projects needlessly using a microcontroller where a simpler design would do are often derided with the catch-all “Should have used a 555,” even if the venerable timer chip wouldn’t have been the ideal solution. But the sentiment stands that a solution more complicated than it needs to be is probably one that needs rethinking, as this completely mechanical chaser light badge Simple Add-On (SAO) aptly demonstrates.
Rather than choosing any number of circuits to turn a strip of discrete lights on and off, [Johannes] took inspiration for his chaser lights from factory automation mechanisms that move parts between levels on steps that move out of phase with each other, similar to the...
