A 12-year-old in California built a working printer for blind readers out of a Lego robot kit for his school science fair, after finding that the machines sold for the job cost about $2,000; the parts in his version came to roughly $350 in shops
1+ week, 5+ day ago (627+ words) A twelve-year-old just proved that assistive technology doesn't need to cost thousands when ingenuity and a Lego kit can do the job for under four hundred dollars. Published September 1, 2026 · How we edit A machine that stamps raised dots onto paper…...
Meta is reportedly testing robots inside its data centres that can swap networking cables and restart servers—and one worker estimates a successful cable-swapping robot could automate up to 80 percent of some technicians’ workloads.
2+ week, 6+ hour ago (751+ words) The reported robots range from button pressers to supervised cabling pilots. The 80 percent figure is one worker's conditional estimate, not a measured result or Meta staffing target.

A $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription could represent as much as $14,000 a month in equivalent API-priced usage if pushed to its limits, according to SemiAnalysis — a striking illustration of how heavily flat-rate AI plans can subsidise their biggest users
2+ week, 1+ day ago (236+ words) The economics of unlimited AI subscriptions are imploding: power users are extracting tens of thousands of dollars in value from plans that cost mere hundreds. By Lab Report · Edited by Mal James Published August 29, 2026 · How we edit The gap grows…...

The human brain is so desperate to find patterns that it will reliably see faces in clouds, hear words in static, and detect meaning in pure randomness, and there's a name for the glitch that makes it happen.
3+ week, 5+ day ago (259+ words) Our pattern-seeking brains are so hardwired for recognition that they manufacture faces from clouds, static, and toast—a quirk that once kept us alive but now plays tricks on us daily. Published August 19, 2026 · How we edit There’s a whole different…...
In December 2025, startup Starcloud trained the first large language model ever trained in orbit, using an NVIDIA H100 — the same class of GPU built for Earth's AI data centres, now running roughly 500 kilometres above the planet.
4+ week, 13+ hour ago (794+ words) Starcloud-1 used a data-centre-class NVIDIA H100 to train NanoGPT on Shakespeare in orbit, a small but genuine demonstration distinct from its preloaded Gemma inference run.
