A common argument against electric vehicles is that building them, especially their batteries, is a dirty, energy-intensive process that cancels out their green benefits. A new study from researchers at Northern Arizona University and Duke University tackles this claim head-on. The research, published in the journal PLOS Climate, confirms the “upfront carbon cost” of an EV is real, but finds that...
If you think about how online multiplayer games work, and also see games like agar.io and slither.io allow Players from around the world to play a game in real time from different places, the backend behind these invisible connections runs in Node.js and WebSockets. In this article, we will guide you step by step on how you build a multiplayer browser game using Node.js, even if you’re new to...
Tech News Today exposes the deep friction between relentless innovation and its messy consequences.
We have a critical security flaw in brand new AMD chips, while AI is being aggressively pushed into everything from translation apps to holiday ads—with very mixed results. Simultaneously, the browser wars are shifting from speed to a race to become the central vault for your entire digital...
If you ask a large language model (LLM) to explain its own reasoning, it will happily give you an answer. The problem is, it’s probably just making one up. A study from Anthropic, led by researcher Jack Lindsey, finds that an AI’s ability to describe its own internal thought process is “highly unreliable” and that “failures of introspection remain the norm.” This matters because if we can’t trust...
Apple has released Pico-Banana-400K, a massive, high-quality dataset of nearly 400,000 image editing examples. The new dataset, detailed in an academic paper posted on October 23, 2025, was built by Apple researchers including Yusu Qian, Jialing Tong, and Zhe Gan. This matters because the AI community has been held back by a lack of large-scale, open, and realistic datasets. Most previous...
