Researchers at Washington State University developed an electronic skin for prosthetics that can detect pressure and temperature, potentially helping amputees regain feeling. The customizable system is more accurate and reliable than current commercial glove sensors, with the potential to improve tasks performed by amputees.
D2, an open-source IDE and layout algorithm, is now fiscally sponsored by Hack Club after its for-profit company shut down. The project will continue to evolve with AI-driven development, focusing on quality over features.
The author discusses how declining literacy rates, particularly among teenagers and adults, are linked to the rise of television and smartphones. This shift has led to a decline in critical thinking and analytical skills, resulting in a more superficial culture.
The US Census Bureau and other statistical agencies are facing increasing political interference, with the latest events including a brief on noncitizen voting that fell short of standards and an order to end noise infusion methods for privacy protection. This undermines trust in the data-driven decisions made by policymakers and businesses.

If you use software regularly, and have your wits about you, you will often realise that you’ve encountered a bug — in other words, that the software has done (or not) something that it shouldn’t (or should have). When this happens, the vast majority of people moan to the nearest bystander about how incompetent the people behind the software are and then carry on with whatever they were doing ...
IBM Quantum Nighthawk r2 is the company's fastest quantum processor, capable of executing over 100,000 circuits per second. It achieves this through a new dissipative reset gadget that actively cools qubits to their ground state, reducing initialization error and idle time between circuit executions.
