Why Everyone Is Suddenly in a'Very Chinese Time' in Their Lives It's a symbol of what Americans believe their own country has lost. In case you didn't get the memo, everyone is feeling very Chinese these days. Across social media, people are proclaiming that "You met me at a very Chinese time of my life," while performing stereotypically Chinese-coded activities like eating dim sum or wearing the viral Adidas Chinese jacket . The trend blew up so much in recent weeks that celebrities like comedian Jimmy O Yang and influencer Hasan Piker even got in on it. It has now evolved into variations like " Chinamaxxing " (acting increasingly more Chinese) and " u will turn Chinese tomorrow " (a kind of affirmation or blessing).

The article highlights how corporations use emotional messaging to mask financial interests, advising consumers to remain skeptical of such appeals.

AI coding is now everywhere. But not everyone is convinced. Depending who you ask, AI-powered coding is either giving software developers an unprecedented productivity boost or churning out masses of poorly designed code that saps their attention and sets software projects up for serious long term-maintenance problems. The problem is right now, it's not easy to know which is true. As tech giants pour billions into large language models (LLMs), coding has been touted as the technology's killer app. Executives enamored with the potential are pushing engineers to lean into an AI-powered future.

Amir Patel is an Associate Professor of Robotics & AI in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL). His research uses robotics methods--sensor fusion, computer vision, mechanical modelling, and optimal control--to understand and quantify animal locomotion, especially high-speed predators such as the cheetah, and to translate these insights into bio-inspired machines. Previously, he served on the faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Cape Town, where he founded and directed the African Robotics Unit (ARU).

Should You Buy a Smart Plug? Smart plugs can add controls to any outlet, but they aren't perfect for everything. Here's our guide to using one and which ones to buy. A smart plug is a pretty handy gadget, but for a while they were touted as a device you could add to anything to turn it smart. That's true to a certain degree; you can use a smart plug to add instant power control to any outlet, letting you turn the outlet on and off at your command from anywhere in your home (or even if you aren't there).

Do quantum computers offer a way to vastly improve agriculture? As quantum computers continue to advance, identifying problems they can solve faster than the world's best conventional computers is becoming increasingly important - but it turns out that a key task held up as a future goal by quantum proponents may not need a quantum computer at all. The task in question involves a molecule called FeMoco, which plays a vital role in making life on Earth possible. That is because it is part of the process of nitrogen fixation, in which microbes convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, making it biologically accessible to most other living organisms. How exactly FeMoco works during this process is complicated and not fully understood, but if we could crack it and replicate it on an industrial scale, it could drastically cut the energy involved in producing fertilisers, potentially leading to a boost in crop yields.

Incredible images show the black hole erupting like a'cosmic volcano', with enough force to reshape its entire host galaxy. Spanning almost one million light-years, these plumes of cosmic lava are nearly 10 times wider than the Milky Way. Lead researcher Dr Shobha Kumari, of Midnapore City College in India, says: 'It's like watching a cosmic volcano erupt again after ages of calm.'

Death of a pet can hurt as much as losing a family member - and can even lead to'prolonged grief disorder', scientists warn Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners already know to be true - the death of a pet can hurt just as much as losing a family member. In their study, the team from Maynooth University surveyed almost 1,000 Brits about different bereavements. The results revealed that more than one in five Brits think the death of a pet is more distressing than the death of a human.
