In 2024, scientists announced the discovery of a newfound anaconda species in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Now, in a new nature series, filmmakers have released nail-biting, never-before-seen footage of the moment they encountered the snake in the wild.The footage transports viewers to the Baihuaeri Waorani Territory in the Amazon rainforest, where researchers were sampling anacondas in 2022 for a snake genetics study. In the video, venom expert Bryan Fry and actor Will Smith travel by boat with Indigenous Waorani guides along the banks of a murky river. In a small clearing, the group spots a gigantic anaconda, which the guides manage…

“This project will create jobs, spur local innovation, and advance American leadership in energy technology,” Urvi Parekh, head of global energy at Meta, said in a statement. “By investing in baseload nuclear energy, we’re helping build a resilient and sustainable future for our communities.”It’s not unusual for utilities to negotiate long-term contracts for fuel for reactors. But this is the first known incident where a hyperscaler is purchasing the fuel that will generate the electrons it plans to buy, says Koroush Shirvan, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.“The Oklo model that they have advertised is that they build,…

60W RMS From A 4″ Bass Driver And Dual 1.25″ Silk Dome Tweeters Portable speakers are a confusing product, with some being much better than you’d expect and others which you would think would be amazing are actually awful; before you even consider the subjectivity of people’s ears.  Edifier is one brand you would expect to provide a high quality portable speaker and their ES300 is no exception, at least to NikkTech’s ears. The ES300 will give you at least 10 hours at playback at 80% volume with the LED bar at 100% brightness, longer if you turn the light…

Meta’s messaging app WhatsApp could soon be subject to deeper scrutiny (and punishment) under the European Commission’s Digital Services Act, Reuters reports. Because the app’s broadcasting feature WhatsApp Channels grew to around 51.7 million average monthly active users in the European Union in the first six months of 2025, the feature has crossed the 45-million-person barrier that lets DSA rules apply.A platform is designated as a “very large online platform” or VLOP once it has 45 million monthly users or more, according to the European Commission. Once an app or service passes that amount, it’s subject to the DSA and…

The boss behind the studio that developed one of 2025’s best RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, says that online controversies about the game and its predecessor involving representation likely didn’t hurt the game’s sales and only mattered to “a handful” of people who are online 24/7. Some quick history. In 2017, in the lead-up to the launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, developer Warhorse Studios was criticized by some online for not including people of color in the game. The studio defended this by claiming it was historically accurate that in early 15th-century Bohemia, especially in the countryside where the game…

The CCIA added that “the Piracy Shield raises a significant number of concerns which can inadvertently affect legitimate online services, primarily due to the potential for overblocking.” The letter said that in October 2024, “Google Drive was mistakenly blocked by the Piracy Shield system, causing a three-hour blackout for all Italian users, while 13.5 percent of users were still blocked at the IP level, and 3 percent were blocked at the DNS level after 12 hours.” The Italian system “aims to automate the blocking process by allowing rights holders to submit IP addresses directly through the platform, following which ISPs…

China’s nuclear fusion reactor, dubbed the “artificial sun,” has breached a major fusion limit by firing plasma beyond its usual operational range, advancing humanity’s slow progress towards near-limitless clean energy.The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) kept plasma — the high-energy fourth state of matter — stable at extreme densities, which was previously seen as a major obstacle in the development of nuclear fusion, according to a statement released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.”The findings suggest a practical and scalable pathway for extending density limits in tokamaks and next-generation burning plasma fusion devices,” study co-lead author Ping Zhu, a professor…

AMD’s Full Suite Of Machine Learning Enhanced Performance Tweaks Is Almost Here AMD FSR Redstone includes the FSR 4 for upscaling, ML-Frame Gen to hallucinate frames for you instead of rendering them traditionally as well as Ray Regeneration to boost performance when you enable ray tracing.  The final feature, Radiance Caching hasn’t been released yet, but is also intended to reduce the cost of enabling ray tracing. That said, while most games which supported FSR 3.1 are being patched to support what is no longer called FSR 4, the number of games which support ML Powered Frame Gen is significantly…

A week ago, a Guardian story revealed the news that Elon Musk’s Grok AI was knowingly and willingly producing images of real-world people in various states of undress, and even more disturbingly, images of near-nude minors, in response to user requests. Further reporting from Wired and Bloomberg demonstrated the situation was on a scale larger than most could imagine, with “thousands” of such images produced an hour. Despite silence or denials from within X, this led to “urgent contact” from various international regulators, and today X has responded by creating the impression that access to Grok’s image generation tools is now for…
