VanMoof has long been described as the Tesla of electric bikes and with the announcement of its newest vehicles — the S5 and A5 — the company wants to continue following the trajectory of Elon Musk’s automaker. On paper, VanMoof is in with a good shot. Over the past couple of years, it raised $182 million (second only to Rad Power) and has emerged as, arguably, the most popular ebike... Read more ›

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the most distant star ever seen – Earendel, meaning morning star. Even though Earendel is 50 times the mass of the Sun, and millions of times brighter, we would not normally be able to see it. We can see it due to an alignment of the star with a large galaxy cluster in front of it whose gravity bends the light from the star... Read more ›

Unpainted stainless steel body. Gull-wing doors. Plutonium-powered time-travel capabilities. Yes, it’s the DeLorean.

The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was originally established in 1973 by, yes, John DeLorean. Unfortunately, it declared bankruptcy in 1982, and was... Read more ›

We’ve been hearing a lot about the recent introduction of paywalled features in cars lately. And while the trend is a cause for concern, it’s not yet as bad as some people believe. But, the concerns still remain. Recently a Redditor posted a short clip on a subreddit called r/Mildly Infuriating. Read more ›

DJI made a name for itself in the drone world, and it’s recently branched out with all sorts of action and gimbal cameras. Now the company is extending to a new market with the release of the DJI Mic, a $329 wireless microphone system that takes a page out of Apple’s AirPods and other wireless earbuds. While the DJI Mic is far from the first compact wireless microphone system, it... Read more ›

We’re firmly entrenched in the quantum era. There weren’t any announcements and there wasn’t any fanfare. It just sort of happened. One day we were in the deep learning era and the next we’d gone quantum. If we had to put a date on it, here at Neural we’d choose 22 March, 2022. That’s the day SandboxAQ slipped out of stealth mode and starbursted out of the Alphabet (Google) research... Read more ›

It’s not long since billionaires were competing to get to the “edge of space”. Now, the first set of private citizens is getting ready to take a SpaceX shuttle up to the International Space Station (ISS). Unlike the short “joyrides” of Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, this mission will be reaching the roughly 400km altitude needed to dock with the ISS. The mission by the US commercial aerospace company Axiom... Read more ›

Welcome to AI book reviews, a series of posts that explore the latest literature on artificial intelligence. There are two contrasting but equally disturbing images of artificial intelligence. One warns about a future in which runaway intelligence becomes smarter than humanity, creates mass unemployment, and enslaves humans in a Matrix-like world or destroys them a la Skynet. A more contemporary image is one in which dumb AI algorithms are entrusted... Read more ›

The auto industry’s shift to electric cars was bound to bring a flood of new entrants. Startups such as Rivian, Lucid Motors, and Arrival have made their debut with impressive EVs, but they’re facing a very practical problem: actually making them. In an intriguing piece, Financial Times’ Peter Campbell details how nascent EV makers emerged and what risks they’re currently facing. The openness of the EV space, the lower barriers... Read more ›

Technology companies are eager to prove that the products we buy aren’t actually ours — and TV makers have embraced this more than most. I mean, what other way is there to explain why Vizio has enabled a feature on its TVs that display banner adverts over live shows? Named ‘Jump Ads,’ the idea is a visual overlay appears during a television spot, which then pushes users towards the series... Read more ›

The burgeoning trend known as Web3 has boosted the idea of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which is essentially a group of people pooling money to achieve a common goal of some sort. There are all kinds of weird and wonderful DAOs out in the wild. For instance, PleaserDAO managed to grab an exclusive copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album for $4 million. But many of them don’t succeed: a... Read more ›

Some audiophiles spend more money on speakers than their cars. Some spend thousands of dollars on extravagant headphones, and still others shell out the Benjamins for the latest overkill DACs and amps. But if you ask me, there are few things as luxurious in the world of audio as a pair of earbuds sculpted to perfectly fit your ears. Custom in-ear monitors (IEMs) are ostensibly the endgame of sound quality... Read more ›

Fewer and fewer people are using bitcoin for digital payments. Nevertheless, bitcoin transactions are consuming more energy than ever before – the same amount as the whole of Thailand. With a carbon footprint equivalent to the Czech Republic’s (around 114 million tonnes per year), bitcoin is canceling out other climate wins. The global take-up of electric vehicles, for example, is estimated to have prevented 50 million tonnes of CO₂ so... Read more ›

We’re constantly hearing there’s a lack of EV charging infrastructure — especially if we are going to meet the demand for all-electric vehicles in the next few decades. But what if the problem isn’t just the number of EV chargers, but their location? I recently met with Rohan Puri, CEO, and co-founder of Stable Auto, a company that uses data science and location intelligence to determine the best site for... Read more ›
