Everything you need to build the PS-85 is available from its designer's website, even if you can't get to space
We've all been there: You're doing maintenance on a Weyland-Yutani hauler dragging mineral ore back toward Earth, and there’s no terminal handy to tap into the MU/TH/UR AI to check ship systems. Lucky for you, one enterprising maker has created just the machine for the job.…

Champions League semi-final delicately poised at 1-1
‘We are so hungry to get the game we want tomorrow’
Mikel Arteta promised that Arsenal’s players will turn into “beasts” as they attempt to reach the Champions League final for the first time since 2006.
Arsenal drew 1-1 in the first leg of their semi-final against Atlético Madrid last week and will be confident of overcoming Diego Simeone’s side after winning five of their six matches in this competition at the Emirates Stadium so far this season, conceding only three goals. Viktor Gyökeres scored twice in a 4-0 win over Atlético during the group stage, although Arsenal will be wary of underestimating the team that knocked out Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

Cabinet ministers have warned mutinous Labour MPs that any attempt to oust Keir Starmer after a potentially disastrous set of election results this week would unleash chaos for the party that would not be easily overcome.
However, several told the Guardian that even with the prime minister’s determination to stay in Downing Street after Thursday’s vote, the mood on the backbenches was febrile and events could yet spiral out of control.

Een Star Trek film uit de regio. Het klinkt als science fiction, maar voor Robin Hiert en Nicole van den Berg-Hiert is het werkelijkheid. Na jaren werk gaat hun film Star Trek Batavia in première in bioscoop Kino.

De opmaat naar volledige bionische vervlechting, en daarna is weerstand zinloos, u zal geassimileerd worden. Maakt ons verder niet uit zolang het maar tussen de tulpen gebouwd werd, ook al stonden die tulpen even in Massachusetts. Bovenstaand ziet u de Nederlandse Daniel Keizer die zijn "nerve and sinew" doneert aan de wetenschap, en daarmee won hij samen met z'n team de MIT Hard Mode 2026. Wat het ongeveer precies doet? De per stem aan te sturen Claude AI kan per elektronische stimulatie Daniels spieren besturen, en kleine, laag-motorische handelingen uit laten voeren. Het is natuurlijk nog maar een demo-model, maar de uiteindelijke use case is dat het mensen handelingen uit kan laten voeren die zij zelf niet (meer) kunnen. MIT schrijft: "What the team built is essentially a careful assembly of technologies that already existed, just never quite in this combination. A camera captures what the user sees. Voice input runs through Anthropic’s Claude API, which figures out what motion is needed and maps it to a sequence of muscle commands. (...) The project may not be a finished product, but as a demonstration of where things could go, it’s hard to ignore. The system moves off the screen and onto the body, which puts it in genuinely unfamiliar territory for consumer AI." Maar nu de enige vraag die ertoe doet: weet Claude wat edgen is?
