The company was started in January 2024, so the seed financing is likely a roll-up of two years of fundraising. $7m for ~30 months of running an AI startup in NYC is not that unusual.

Really intrigued to see what Apple's design chops brings to this form factor. I'd love more screen real estate so I can travel without a damn laptop. The big question is how thick will it be?

I've read that New Zealand study and it's identifying an effect in a small group of heavy users who started using cannabis very young (a full third as teens) and continue to use it heavily (four times a week) three decades later.

Media companies spend untold millions on new content, and yet the acting and writing on a comparatively obscure and low budget British TV series still occupy a place in my psyche many decades later. RIP Mr Keating.

That was over 20 years ago? And there were half a dozen Qwest executives who were profiting from insider trading on inflated revenues that started in 1999, long before the NSA incident in 2001. I remember it clearly because I had the misfor

Pickleball has a disproportionately high injury rate for people over 40. You'd be far better off taking up the gym or yoga.

Seeing all of the archived documents from the 50s and 60s is very cool. But unfortunately everything else I looked at was a giant nothingburger. Some of the new videos were already identified as imaging artifacts a while ago.

My first job at college was wrangling campus email, both X.400 and SMTP. As the article points out, SMTP won out because it was simple and developed in the open, not buried in standards committees, and SMTP code was widely available. It was

Absolutely, Johan is one of my all time favorite composers and as prolific and talented as he was, it's terrible that we will never hear new music from him again. :(

This is a nice idea. I don't remember the last time I walked through an airport without noise cancelling earbuds and my own music playing. The noise level definitely adds to the stress if you are a frequent traveler. This is my current

It doesn't seem like it given the form factor. From what I understand, Google let their own hardware efforts die and handed off new Coral hardware to third parties. They announced this Synaptics coral board last month, but you can&#x27

It seems like the best authors - JG Ballard in this instance - are somehow resistant to modern biographers. Even the least worst Phillip K Dick biography (Divine Invasions) is over 30 years old!

No. Apple refurbishes and reuses the majority of trade-in phones. They recycle a small fraction. None of it ends up in landfills. In my case, they aren't paying me hundreds of dollars for my old phone to throw it in a landfill.

The S5 was IP67 rated but only if the USB port flap was sealed. Modern phones like the S24 and iPhones are IP68 rated without covers. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the rain, giving up superior IP68 water resistance for a r
