In my misspent youth, I once worked a summer job as a waiter at Shoney’s. It is an experience that I do not recommend. But it did teach me two valuable things: 1) How not to drown in a puddle of my own embarrassment when marching around the dining room with my fellow servers and singing a birthday song that began, “Happy, happy birthday, we’re so glad you came”; and 2) That when the surly line cooks ran out of chicken fried steak, they would shout “86 the chicken fried steak!” through the pass. To “86” something, in restaurant slang,…
A blood-filtering technique could be a promising treatment for preeclampsia, a potentially deadly disorder of pregnancy that involves high blood pressure.The new therapy is safe for both the pregnant person and the fetus, according to a new pilot study published Monday (April 27) in the journal Nature Medicine. Future trials will examine how well the treatment works, but early data hints that it can reduce circulating levels of a placental protein linked to the disease.Although low-dose aspirin has been shown to reduce the risk of preeclampsia in high-risk patients, no intervention has been successful at treating the condition once it…
Mindseye isn’t a good game. Developed by Build A Rocket Boy, a studio created by former longtime Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies, the semi-open-world game launched last year to horrible reviews, becoming the worst-reviewed game of the year according to Metacritic. But hey, at least now Mindseye is $25 cheaper thanks to a new price drop. On April 28, Build A Rocket Boy confirmed that it had fully completed its previously announced plan to split from publisher IOI and start self-publishing Mindseye. The first big change in this new era for Mindseye is that the indie studio is lowering…
The two USB-C ports are on the left side, alongside HDMI and a USB-A port. The second USB-A port, a microSD card slot, and a headphone jack are on the right. It’s not a nice assortment of ports overall, and I just wish Acer had split the USB-C ports up so the laptop could have a charging port on either side.Acer is using a top-notch 16-inch OLED touchscreen display on the Swift 16 AI. It has a resolution of 2880 x 1800, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and color saturation as close to perfect as I’ve seen. Like most…
A newly developed technique could teach AI algorithms to see the universe with unprecedented clarity — potentially exposing the cracks in our understanding of the cosmos.Our cosmic rulebook, known as the standard cosmological model, has done an unparalleled job of describing the universe, accounting for everything from its accelerating expansion to galaxy formation. But even the best explanations need robust, independent checks, and that’s where genetic algorithms come in.These clever techniques, inspired by natural selection, let us reconstruct cosmic functions directly from data, without forcing them into preconceived models. They’re like tireless explorers, always seeking the best results. You may…
Saros is out for everyone on April 30, but if you bought the PS5 game’s $80 Digital Deluxe Edition, you can play Housemarque’s roguelike shooter right now.

On this week’s Big Interview podcast, actor-director Ben McKenzie talks about the rise of crypto, why he finds it dangerous, and why it benefits from having a mysterious creator.
A chance discovery of a broken bronze cup in Spain has revealed a 1,900-year-old depiction of Hadrian’s Wall and forts in England, a new study reports. The multicolored vessel was likely crafted as a memento of a soldier’s time defending the frontiers of the Roman Empire, the study authors said.The cup was discovered in Berlanga de Duero, a municipality in central Spain, nearly 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) from the storied Roman defensive wall that protected the northern frontier of the empire in the second century. The hemispheric “Berlanga Cup” is about 4.5 inches (11.4 centimeters) wide and around 3.2 inches…

Traeger’s first non-pellet grills debuted in 2023. Jumping into the griddle craze, the company introduced the Flatrock series in a three-burner model — later adding the smaller, two-burner option. Now Traeger is back with two new griddles, the two- and four-burner Irontop, which actually offer more cooking area than their predecessors. Plus, these new griddles are more affordable, too.Traeger promises the Irontop models will offer fast preheating, precise temperature control, edge-to-edge heating and a durable construction. The cooking area has a food-safe, rust-resistant coating the company says only requires “simple seasoning and care.” Traeger says the consistent heating across the…
