I’ve spent months in the lab testing the latest AR glasses from Xreal and Viture. By “lab,” I mean cozied up on my couch each night, playing my Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2 on a huge, virtual screen that only I can see through these glasses.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users. On one side are those who treat AI as a powerful but sometimes faulty service that needs careful human oversight and review to detect reasoning or factual flaws in responses. On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they... Read more ›

Ниже представлены рекомендуемые системные требования от разработчиков. На самом деле характеристики для «минималки» чересчур завышены, и игра неплохо себя показывает даже на не самых топовых сборках. Благодаря обширному списку доступных для настройки параметров, вы сможете без проблем запустить Battlefield 6, не покупая дорогостоящее железо.

Знаете, бывают проекты, которые начинаются как «сделать быстренько за выходные», а превращаются в эпопею на несколько лет. Вот у меня именно так и вышло.Всё началось с того, что решил я сделать себе каротажную станцию. Идея возникла не просто так. Когда‑то давно закончив РГГРУ и не работая по специальности но имея определенный багаж знаний и желание... решение было принято. Сразу скажу, что более ленивого человека чем я, встречать мне не доводилось,... Read more ›

For the first time in history researchers at CERN have transported 92 antiprotons on a truck in a specially designed magnetic enclosure.

CNN notes there's now retreats featuring psilocybin in a few countries — and while psilocybin is illegal under United States federal law, "In Oregon, 5,935 clients received psilocybin services through Oregon's state-regulated program in 2025." High doses of psilocybin are effective in treating... Read more ›

It still relies on a mix of quantum and classical computing and this is a narrow... Read more ›
