Here’s the biggest problem with Amazon Prime Video—and how it could be fixed

October 1 is the official kickoff of spooky-movie season, but this year, we simply could not wait. On the last day of September, my wife and I watched the 2013 throwback slasher, You’re Next, one of many horror movies available to stream that I’d compiled into a seasonal list. Good thing we didn’t wait until the next night, though—by then, You’re Next was no longer on Prime Video. We’d made it just under the wire.

Successfully streaming a movie in time probably sh

Nejvýkonnější pikosekundový laser světa zvládne impulzy až 100 megawattů

Laseroví čarodějové švýcarského ETH Zürich postavili laserový systém, který generuje pulzy kratší než pikosenda. Jejich maximální výkon může dosáhnout 100 megawattů.

We need a national STEM Act to stem the risk of a declining America

Wars have unintended consequences, and positive results can emerge from tragedy. For proof, just look at the list from NATO of some unexpected outcomes of R&D that led to society-changing benefits.

This NATO list explains where cargo pants came from, but rather than head down the rabbit hole, let’s focus on the American Education Act, which was established back in 1921. The World War I draft re

The new pair programming: an AI agent that cleans your code as you write

Ben welcomes Sonar CEO Tariq Shaukat for a conversation about AI coding tools’ potential to boost developer productivity—and how to balance those potential gains against code quality and security concerns.

Hýbej se méně, spal více: Přerušovaná chůze spotřebuje více energie

Zábavný experiment s chozením v kyslíkové masce, která měřila příjem kyslíku při různých typech aktivity, prozradil, že pokud se stejná aktivita provede jako série zahájených a pak ukončených krátkých aktivit, člověk spotřebuje o 20 až 60 procent více energie.

‘The Terminator’ turns 40—and hits different in the age of AI

ChatGPT tried to warn me about The Terminator.

Before I sat down recently to watch James Cameron’s 1984 killer-robot blockbuster, I asked the world’s most popular AI chatbot what I should expect. It told me that, given the rapid rise of real-world artificial intelligence, I might find the movie “both prescient and unsettling.” My virtual assistant was particularly concerned about how I would react to the

Hmota nebo látka, prostě hýlé, a hmotnost

Pojem hýlé (látka, hmota) zavedl do filosofie a vědy Aristotelés. Místo toho, aby se pochlubil prvenstvím, jej připsal už nejstarším filosofům. Tak se nám do učebnic dostaly všechny ty látky a pralátky u filosofů v dobách před Sókratem. Přitom závaží a váhy se v egejském prostoru najdou už v rané době bronzové. Dnes je hmotnost jednou ze základních fyzikálních veličin. http://www.osel.cz/13748-hmota-nebo-latka-proste-hyle-a-hmotnost.html

Mikrobiální dravec Aureispira je jako pirát. Hákuje kořist a střílí z děl

Asi jen málokdo by čekal takovou romantiku na Petriho misce. Když mořské vláknité bakterie aureispiry strádají nouzí, připraví si molekulární háky, nabijí molekulární děla a vyrazí lovit bakterie. Když dostihnou svou oběť, zahákují ji, vypálí na ni salvu, proděravějí ji buněčnou membránu a nakonec sežerou, co vyteče. Napněte plachty, obzor je náš. Johoho.

Two Virginia congressional candidates debated an AI chatbot. It was weirdly normal

Ultimate guide to the best AI tools to make your life and work easier

Generative AI tools have been popping up everywhere and becoming second nature to use. That’s thanks in part, to a familiar user experience. “If you’re using a generative AI model, you enter a prompt describing the output you’d like, and the program gives it to you,” explained Danica Lo, “whether it’s in the form of text, code, images, or—increasingly—sound and video.”

The most popular is ChatGPT, said Lo, a contributing editor at Fast Company
