If there’s one thing that makes Python incredibly successful, that would be its readability. Everything else hinges on that: if code is unreadable, it’s hard to maintain. It’s also not beginner-friendly then — a novice getting boggled by unreadable code won’t attempt writing its own one day. Python was already readable and beginner-friendly before decorators came around. But as the language started getting used for more and more things, Python... Read more ›

TLDR: The Freewrite Traveler Portable Writing Tool is a handy digital writing tool for handling all the writing work you need done, but without the distractions of a laptop. The brain of a writer never turns off. Even when they aren’t working, they’re working, turning over words in their head, thinking through their next sentence, their next paragraph, their next project. It’s hardwired into their brains. It’s just what they... Read more ›

Early on the evening of Monday, 12 July, a thin crescent Moon will be seen low on the horizon, just after sunset. Just half a degree below and to the right of our planetary companion, Venus and Mars — the two closest planets to Earth, will shine in the twilight. This is a perfect time for families to venture outside, viewing the wonders of the night sky. “I’m NOT a... Read more ›

Sun Haven is a farming-based life sim from Pixel Sprout Studios. It’s currently available in Steam‘s Early Access program and will release later on Switch. The game’s been called Stardew Valley meets Dungeons and Dragons, but it seems like that’s more of a shorthand way of saying it’s a farming-based life sim with fantasy elements. Quick and dirty version: This game is good; one day it’ll be great; some of... Read more ›

Welcome to Neural’s series on speculative science. Here, we throw caution to the wind and see how far we can push the limits of possibility and imagination as we explore the future of technology. “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.” – Arthur C Clarke. An exciting new study... Read more ›

New research has challenged the very existence of online filter bubbles. The study found that people who use search engines, social media, and aggregators to access news can actually have more diverse information diets. Researchers from the universities of Oxford and Liverpool analyzed web tracking data on around 3,000 UK news users. The team tracked every visit from a desktop or laptop to 21 of the most popular UK news... Read more ›

Jeep’s current eco-friendly vehicles are plug-in hybrids, but the American brand is now ready to take the next step towards electrification. On Thursday, during Stellantis’ EV Day 2021, the automaker pledged to offer a “zero-emission, fully-electric” 4xe model in every single segment of its SUV lineup by 2025. By the same year, Jeep also expects that electric vehicles will make up 70% of the total sales. Unfortunately, the company didn’t... Read more ›

I came into the office completely drained after a difficult meeting. But when I looked up I stopped awestruck: someone had hung a painting on the wall. Suddenly the boring hallway had been turned into a room with personality and mood. My business partner had decided to hang up an abstract painting by modern Ukrainian artist Anton Popernyak he owned. The painting undeniably brightened up the space, but its real... Read more ›

FL Studio 20 is one of the most advanced digital workstations around, which is why some of... Read more ›

Over the next fortnight, Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos and Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson will take off into space, because they can, on spaceships designed by their respective companies. It’s a big moment for the private space industry. But the question comes to mind: who has the smarter plan? A billionaire’s space race On May 5 Blue Origin, owned by former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, announced it would fly... Read more ›

I have been popularizing quantum physics, my area of research, for many years now. The general public finds the topic fascinating and covers of books and magazines often draw on its mystery. A number of misconceptions have arisen in this area of physics and my purpose here is to look at the facts to debunk seven of these myths. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know much about quantum physics... Read more ›

Good-faith disagreements are a normal part of society and building strong relationships. Yet it’s difficult to engage in good-faith disagreements on the internet, and people reach less common ground online compared with face-to-face disagreements. There’s no shortage of research about the psychology of arguing online, from text versus voice to how anyone can become a troll and advice about how to argue well. But there’s another factor that’s often overlooked:... Read more ›

In the last month or so, tech news has been dominated by Epic Games‘ court case against Apple. While the ruling could bring a major pivot point for either of the companies, it might also affect us as consumers. In this story, we’ll try to explain the core of the case, arguments from both sides, and how it will impact users. Why are Apple and Epic fighting? In August last... Read more ›

In 2019, the Santa Fe Independent School District in Texas ran a weeklong pilot program with the facial recognition firm AnyVision in its school hallways. With more than 5,000 student photos uploaded for the test run, AnyVision called the results “impressive” and expressed excitement at the results to school administrators. “Overall, we had over 164,000 detections the last 7 days running the pilot. We were able to detect students on... Read more ›

Qualcomm is a very well-known name when it comes to producing processors (like the one in your phone) and modems. So it feels bizarre to write that the company is now releasing a phone — and it’ll cost a whopping $1,500. The phone has no official name and is just called a Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders. The marketing team clearly wasn’t bothered about it. Qualcomm said that it built the... Read more ›

I’ve been a Casio fan for a while. Though the company has occasionally been the butt of bad jokes from musicians who seemingly have a problem with affordable instruments, Casio has long offered sensibly designed products that tend to be more accessible than much of the competition. The Casiotone CT-S1 feels like the epitome of Casio’s design philosophy. The company says it’s the spiritual successor to the original Casiotone CT-201... Read more ›

Routers are pretty boring to write about, but every once in a while I’ll make an exception, as is the case with the new Vilo mesh Wi-Fi system. Why? Because it’s dirt cheap and stupidly simple to set up — and I mean that in the best way possible. Each access point costs $20 bucks ($28 with shipping), and each individual unit is rated for coverage up to 1,500 square... Read more ›

Aim bots are nothing new in the world of competitive online gaming. But the possible existence of a virtually undetectable new machine learning-powered cheat for consoles has the gaming community in a bit of a fervor as of late. Up front: We can’t confirm its existence, but the Anti-Cheat Police Department Twitter account posted footage it says is a legitimate AI-powered cheating software. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the... Read more ›

Scientists have developed an AI system that can classify tens of thousands of galaxies in a few seconds, a process that can take months to do manually. Up front: Astronomers classify galaxies by shape to understand how they form and evolve. But this can be a time-consuming job. The researchers used convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to hasten the task. Per the preprint paper: The key strengths of automated classification... Read more ›
