I remember a time a few years ago when tech journalists declared that “specs were dead.” There was a good reason behind that statement, as phone makers did all sorts of cheap tricks to fill up a spec sheet without adding real value. Remember budget phones with “four cameras” on their back? Those were typically budget phones that were trying to look impressive, but ended up being a deception as those cameras often took poor pictures and ultimately that numbers game was exposed.But I think that specs are very much back in fashion in 2025. And this time, it’s not…
As I browse the web in 2025, I rarely encounter captchas anymore. There’s no slanted text to discern. No image grid of stoplights to identify.And on the rare occasion that I am asked to complete some bot-deterring task, the experience almost always feels surreal. A colleague shared recent tests where they were presented with images of dogs and ducks wearing hats, from bowler caps to French berets. The security questions ignored the animal’s hats, rudely, asking them to select the photos that showed animals with four legs.Other puzzles are hyper-specific to their audience. For example, the captcha for Sniffies, a…

The thing that gets me, and I’m really curious about your take on this, Brian, as someone with children, that the guides these people that were brought in, they were actually in the room with students helping them with any technological glitches or settling anything that’s happening in the real world. While some had experience as educators, others did not, and not only that, Alpha actually had often targeted individuals without teaching backgrounds, going instead for folks that were in the entrepreneurship space, because nothing screams early childhood education like Series A funding. I’m so confused as to what the…

A team of university students in Japan identified an entirely new species of the mighty Portuguese Man O’War. Described in a study recently published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, the creature’s distinct features and fearsome venom have earned it a name that honors a famous 16th century samurai warrior. It’s easy to mistake the Portuguese Man O’War (Physalia physalis) for a jellyfish. After all, it features a squishy “head” and venomous tendrils extending as far as 100 feet down into the ocean waters. These…
