Streaming is finally profitable. It offers a lesson in patience

Just a couple of years ago, pundits were warning of streaming’s demise. From Netflix to Spotify, these companies were burning through cash. How could they keep operating? 

Now, almost all of the streamers have made it to positive profits. Netflix is the envy of the entertainment industry, while its underlings like Disney+ and Max have also turned around their losses. Last Tuesday, Spotify shares

OpenAI shouldn’t accept Elon Musk’s $97 billion bid to buy it

Let’s say you own one of the most valuable homes in a lush, gated community that has been earmarked as a future point of growth for decades to come. One day, a letter appears in your mailbox, offering to buy your property for between a third and two-thirds of its value on the open market.

On the face of it, you should turn it down. But the person offering to buy it owns every house in the estate, and runs the HOA. They’re also friends with the police chief and the fire department.

Meta’s AI randomly tried to throw a weird party for me—that I never asked for

Everyone has a favorite moment from Super Bowl LIX. Eagles fans likely will long cherish the decisive victory over the Chiefs. Some will discuss Kendrick Lamar’s game-changing halftime show. Me? I was happy to see Puppy Monkey Baby again.

The former Mountain Dew mascot, which made its disturbing debut in 2016 and was widely hated by pretty much everyone, was part of DoorDash’s 2025 Super Bowl commercial

This app combines Wikipedia and TikTok to fight doomscrolling

Why tomorrow’s breakthroughs will come from polyintelligent thinking

In news outlets, business publications, and scholarly journals, there is a crescendo of commentary about the combined power of human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Without question, that convergence is already yielding exciting discoveries in many fields.

Yet a third, equally crucial, kind of intelligence is being left out of the discussion: nature’s intelligence.

The idea that nature itself displays the hallmarks of what we understand as intelligence—the abili

Sedimentární DNA přinesla překvapivé objevy v jeskyni Rudé dámy z El Mirón

Z jeskyně El Mirón na severu Španělska pochází Rudá dáma, slavná kostra ženy z doby před 18 700 lety. Archeologové teď v El Mirón zpracovali mnohem méně divácky atraktivní, ale zajímavými informacemi nabitou sedimentární pravěkou sedaDNA.

Find the perfect free Zoom background at these 3 sites

Maybe I should begin this article by arguing that nothing spices up a mundane meeting like a creative, beautiful, or hilarious background for your Zoom calls. But the reality is that most of us just need to hide messy offices, guestroom beds, or dirty-dish-filled kitchens.

EV Winter is here. Carmakers are betting on a thaw

The move to electric vehicles is the auto industry’s biggest transformation since cars replaced horses early last century. Just about every traditional automaker is going through its own reckoning with the EV transition, one that presents huge opportunity—and existential risk. So far, it has been rough. 

Buyers haven’t turned up in the numbers the industry projected just a few years ago. Now many automakers are racking up heavy losses on their EV businesses. Many traditional a

Sférolit jako unikátní nález severského souvku v České republice

Povodně ze září 2024 v moravskoslezské oblasti zanechaly stopy v říčních korytech. Někde vznikla nová koryta. Voda vyplavovala na břeh říční sedimenty.

Schrödingerova kočka a Maxwellův démon si nejdou navzájem po krku

Kvantová mechanika a termodynamika představují obvykle mimoběžné koncepty ve fyzice.

How Apple could work with DeepSeek to pull ahead in the AI race

Nowadays, when you hear someone talk about faxing, there’s a decent chance it’s the punchline to a groan-inducing dad joke. (Not that I would ever be guilty of such silliness, of course. I stick strictly to the fax.)

And yet, here in the futuristic-feeling time of 2025, we all find ourselves facing the very occasional and impossibly baffling need to send something somewhere specifically by fax. Try as you might, sometimes, you just can’t avoid it. (One might even say those

Why build your own vector DB? To process 25,000 images per second

Ben and Ryan chat with Babak Behzad, senior engineering manager at Verkada, about running a pipeline that vectorizes 25,000 images per second into a custom-built vector database. They discuss whether the speed is due to technical brains or brawn, the benefits of processing on device vs. off, and the importance of privacy when using image recognition on frames from a video camera. https://stackoverflow.blog/2025/02/07/why-build-your-own-vector-db-to-process-25-000-images-per-second/
