Did you know you’re not supposed to shake a Polaroid picture? There’s actually a chemical process going on inside of each Polaroid print and shaking it won’t help it turn out any better. In fact, it might ruin the emulsion required for the picture to form. You can drop this tidbit on a lucky recipient when you give them a new Polaroid camera on sale for just $99 right now…
Justice Samuel Alito suggested that a ruling for Slaughter could open the way for Congress to convert various executive branch agencies into “multi-member commissions with members protected from plenary presidential removal authority.” “I could go down the list… How about Veterans Affairs? How about Interior? Labor? EPA? Commerce? Education? What am I missing?” Alito said. “Agriculture,” Justice Neil Gorsuch responded. The official transcript notes that Gorsuch’s response was met with laughter. Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed skepticism about the power of independent agencies, saying, “I think broad delegations to unaccountable independent agencies raise enormous constitutional and real-world problems for individual liberty.”…
Somewhere along its never-ending quest to increase engagement, Meta realized that giving Facebook users more of what they want would make it more likely that they’ll stick around. The company has announced a bunch of updates designed to help improve the feed and the broader Facebook experience by making it easier to find, create and share interesting things. (Because primarily showing updates from your friends with the occasional ad or meme post is maybe just too complicated.)Simplification is a big focus of this overhaul. First, the Facebook feed will be a bit more streamlined. Whenever you post multiple photos, Facebook…
Earlier this month, McDonald’s Netherlands put out an ugly and lifeless Christmas commercial that was created using AI generation tools. Over the weekend, after the ad spot went viral online for all the wrong reasons, the fast-food chain deleted it. Recently, McDonald’s followed in the footsteps of Coca-Cola and released a new AI-generated advertisement just in time for the holiday season. The ad features numerous AI-generated scenes of people dealing with all the horrible, annoying, and not-so-great moments that can happen during this time of year. It’s genuinely a funny little idea for an ad, but it’s hard to watch…

Described in the journal PLOS One, female Nazca boobies (Sula granti) will openly mate with potentially dozens of males before settling on a parenting partner. What’s more, the conspicuous behavior doesn’t appear to bother their final suitors. “You don’t expect to see females just running back and forth trying to copulate with so many males. So yeah, that’s a huge surprise,” study coauthor and Wake Forest University biologist David Anderson said in a statement. Birds…
Big Tech has spent the past year telling us we’re living in the era of AI agents, but most of what we’ve been promised is still theoretical. As companies race to turn fantasy into reality, they’ve developed a collection of tools to guide the development of generative AI. A cadre of major players in the AI race, including Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI, has come together to promote interoperability with the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF). This move elevates a handful of popular technologies and could make them a de facto standard for AI development going forward. The development path…

Apple never puts its newest products on sale, especially not something as new as the AirPods Pro 3 which came out just a few months ago. But Amazon has taken matters into its own hands and cut prices on almost all of Apple’s products right before Christmas. For instance, you can get these third-generation AirPods Pro for $219 instead of the usual $249 which is the same price as the lowest price we saw on Black Friday. You might be tempted to buy the older AirPods Pro 2 because they are cheaper, but this newer model has so many more…

The James Webb Space Telescope and other international observatories have spotted a 13-billion-year-old supernova. On Tuesday, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced the sighting of a gamma-ray burst from a star that exploded when the Universe was only 730 million years old. The Webb telescope even detected the supernova’s host galaxy.Before this observation, the oldest recorded supernova was from when the Universe was 1.8 billion years old. That’s a difference of more than a billion years.You can see the gamma-ray burst in the image below. It’s the tiny red smudge at the center of the zoomed-in box on the right.The…
