Rockstar Games seems to be playing cat-and-mouse with some Grand Theft Auto Online players who are using newly added tools to recreate the assassination of Charlie Kirk in the extremely popular online open-world crime simulator. In September of last year, right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and killed during a public appearance at a college in Utah. In the weeks that followed, many people, including Jimmy Kimmel, found themselves in trouble for commenting or joking about it. Some even lost their jobs. Then, in December, right before the new year, Rockstar added a mission creator to GTA…

Anthropic’s agentic tool Claude Code has been an enormous hit with some software developers and hobbyists, and now the company is bringing that modality to more general office work with a new feature called Cowork. Built on the same foundations as Claude Code and baked into the macOS Claude desktop app, Cowork allows users to give Claude access to a specific folder on their computer and then give plain language instructions for tasks. Anthropic gave examples like filling out an expense report from a folder full of receipt photos, writing reports based on a big stack of digital notes, or…
A stretch of DNA in the mouse genome left by ancient viral infections is crucial for early development in the womb, new research shows.According to the study, published in December in the journal Science Advances, this viral DNA switches on genes that give cells in early-stage mouse embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in the body. The viral DNA — known as MERVL — itself gets activated by a protein called the “Dux transcription factor,” which binds to the sequence and essentially kick-starts the embryo’s development.Although it’s important in the womb, if Dux stays activated too long,…
On the heels of Mark Zuckerberg announcing that Meta’s former board member, Dina Powell McCormick, would be formally joining the company as president and vice chairman, the CEO has shared new details about her purview at the company.

As self-driving car services from Alphabet’s Waymo, Amazon’s Zoox, and Tesla have slowly, quietly expanded across the US, one big, important state has mostly stayed mum: New York.The union’s fourth most populous state has some of the tightest laws governing autonomous vehicles, requiring companies approved to test in the state to only do so with a driver behind the wheel. There’s no current path for companies to operate the sort of commercial robotaxi services like the sort seen in San Francisco or Las Vegas.But that could be about to change. On Tuesday, as part of her annual State of State…
The Last of Us Part II may soon get a mod that supports multiplayer gameplay. Modder Speclizer shared recent test gameplay of their work-in-progress that showcased two Ellies bounding through a field together. As the PC mod is still in development, the Ellies aren’t currently able to do much other than hang out and run around but it’s already making fans pine for a proper multiplayer mode. The mod aims to eventually add PvP combat to TLOU2, and would not feature multiplayer support for the game’s story mode or any interactions with NPCs. Speclizer also implied that the mod is…

Qualcomm’s share comes from its wide mobile processors for the mid-to-high end segment. The Snapdragon 8 Elite / Gen series is the…
For more than 25 years, humans have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, conducting research that is transforming life on Earth and shaping the future of exploration. From growing food and sequencing DNA to studying disease and simulating Mars missions, every experiment aboard the orbiting laboratory expands our understanding of how humans can thrive beyond Earth while advancing science and technology that benefit people around the world. The space station gives scientists a laboratory unlike any on Earth. In microgravity, cells grow in three dimensions, proteins form higher-quality crystals, and biological systems reveal details hidden by gravity.…
