The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is a polished, high-end robot vacuum/mop best suited to homes with hard floors, pets, and everyday clutter. Its stain-cleaning system is clever, but not hands-off enough to fully justify the $1,199 price for buyers focused mainly on mopping. Robot mops are usually better at maintaining clean floors than tackling truly dirty ones. They can wipe away light daily grime and keep hard floors looking presentable, but sticky spills and dried-on stains still expose the limits of "hands-free" cleaning.

Anthropic's Code with Claude showed off coding's future--whether you like it or not As tools like Claude Code get better, more and more developers are happy to hand off coding tasks to them. The way software gets built has changed for good. The vibes were strong at Code with Claude, Anthropic's two-day event for software developers in London that kicked off on May 19, the same day as Google's I/O in Palo Alto. "Who here has shipped a pull request in the last week that was completely written by Claude?" Jeremy Hadfield, an engineer at Anthropic, asked from the main stage. Almost half the people in the packed room--many sitting with laptops on their knees, coding or prompting as they watched the talks--raised their hands. Pull requests are fixes or updates to existing software that are submitted for review before they go live.

After the Trump administration turned away from electrification, two of the nation's biggest governments will advocate for more electric vans, police cars, and eventually, snowplows. New York City is not a car town. But pay attention as you walk, bike, or, sure, drive around the country's most populous city, and you might notice a car trend: an increasing number of its vehicles are electric .

A local law requires the city to transition its entire light-and medium-duty fleet to batteries by 2035 and its trucks by 2038.

Toward the beginning of the 2002 film, a domineering lawyer (played by James Spader) barges into the office of his assistant (Maggie Gyllenhaal) with evidence of a work infraction: a memo she has written that has "three typing errors." "Do you know what this makes me look like to the people who receive these letters?" Setting aside that his screed turns out to be foreplay, Spader's character was channeling a widespread cultural revulsion: Typos were the ultimate shorthand for careless work. A spelling mistake was proof that the writer hadn't bothered putting much effort into a piece of correspondence, that their instructions or advice shouldn't be taken seriously--and perhaps that the recipient shouldn't invest time in reading their note at all. More than two decades later, as AI-generated writing has flooded workplaces, social media, and dating apps, old hallmarks of sloppiness--typos chief among them--are getting a new gloss.
