Five finely crafted flint daggers are displayed vertically against a black background. Each blade features unique flaking patterns and subtle variations in shape and color, ranging from light grey to tan, highlighting their prehistoric craftsmanship. The lighting emphasizes the texture and contours of each blade, making them stand out distinctly against the dark backdrop.

Simply beautiful: Late Neolithic and early Bronze Age flint daggers found in Saxony-Anhalt, 2300-1600 BC (Unétice-Culture).

On display at Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte, Halle.

My photo shows a Roman-era ribbed mosaic glass bowl standing on a glass shelf in a display case at the V&A Museum. The bowl is hemispherical with vertical ribs and an applied pedestal foot. The glass itself is composed of various combinations of red, white, blue, green and yellow stripes which resemble ribbons or tiny flags. Height 11.5 cm, width 15.5 cm. Other colourful glass pieces are visible in the background.

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

Auroras exist on Jupiter too, and they are incredibly powerful.

Jupiter's auroras are larger, brighter, and more intense than Earth's, primarily in the UV band, and they are constantly on.

Jupiter possesses a magnetic field about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's.

If you thought Windows forcing inconvenient updates on you was bad. Guess I'll have to pull it into the garage later.

Humanoid robots just landed a clean wallflip—no sticky soles, just smart retargeting.

Amazon FAR intern Zhen Wu shows BeyondMimic + OmniRetarget can transfer human motion to a humanoid with minimal RL tweaks. Interaction-preserving retargeting does the heavy lifting; tracking keeps it stable.

In the Solomon Islands, scientists discovered sharks living inside Kavachi, an active underwater volcano. Despite hot, acidic, ash-filled waters, species like hammerheads thrive there. This unusual ecosystem highlights sharks’ adaptability and may offer new insights into biology and evolution.

Does AI understand Gen Alpha? Teen’s study says slang may put kids at risk A teen’s study on AI and Gen Alpha slang suggests that AI moderators may not be catching online harassment between young users.

This article shows a few things. First, that I have no idea how many generations have passed since I was born, but there seems to be a new one every year. Second, that we really underestimate kids - this young girl did some amazing research!
