After two years of testing, these are the electric toothbrushes that impressed WIRED staffers the most. The best electric toothbrush reduces plaque and gingivitis better than a manual one, encourages you to brush long enough, and prevents overzealous scrubbing (it's a thing--just ask my dentist). I didn't always to brush my teeth, but over the years, I've come to appreciate the oral-health ritual: two minutes of foamy, mindless maintenance twice a day (or more) that keeps the dental hygienist off my back. Investing in preventative dental care can save you thousands of dollars (and a lot of discomfort) in the long run. If you have a permanent retainer from orthodontics, an electric device can deal with the associated plaque buildup far more effectively than a manual toothbrush. And a electric toothbrush doesn't have to cost a fortune. We've tested dozens, including budget-friendly basic options and high-tech models packed with pressure sensors and multiple cleaning modes.

Fauna, a new startup, is betting that humanoid robots will find success as hospitality workers, research assistants, and entertainers. The newest humanoid robot on the scene, Sprout, is not designed to carry boxes or stack shelves. Instead, this charming and relatively cheap model, roughly the size of a 9-year-old child, is meant to help customers in hotels, shops, and restaurants. "We said, 'What if we could build something lightweight, engaging, and safe to be around, and capable enough to do some exciting things?'" says Robert Cochran, cofounder and CEO of Fauna, the startup behind Sprout. Sprout is available to purchase starting today from $50,000. Cochran adds that his firm is already talking to hotels about using Sprout as a butler that brings toothbrushes and other items to guests in need.

There's no doubt Great Britain lays claim to some of the greatest scientific discoveries and inventions that have changed the face of modern society. Now, MailOnline's interactive map reveals the birthplace of 30 of these famous British marvels, from stainless steel to the jet engine and the electric motor. Who can forget Alan Turing's Bombe machine, used to break Enigma-enciphered messages about enemy military operations during WWII? Turing developed the Bombe in 1939 at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire and hundreds were built, marking a crucial contribution to the war effort. Also on the map is the hovercraft invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1955 and first launched four years later on the the Isle of Wight.

Large language model (LLM)-based agents have been increasingly used to interact with external environments (e.g., games, APIs, etc.) and solve tasks. However, current frameworks do not enable these agents to work with users and interact with them to align on the details of their tasks and reach user-defined goals; instead, in ambiguous situations, these agents may make decisions based on assumptions. This work introduces ReSpAct (Reason, Speak, and Act), a novel framework that synergistically combines the essential skills for building task-oriented "conversational" agents. ReSpAct addresses this need for agents, expanding on the ReAct approach. The ReSpAct framework enables agents to interpret user instructions, reason about complex tasks, execute appropriate actions, and engage in dynamic dialogue to seek guidance, clarify ambiguities, understand user preferences, resolve problems, and use the intermediate feedback and responses of users to update their plans. We evaluated ReSpAct in environments supporting user interaction, such as task-oriented dialogue (MultiWOZ) and interactive decision-making (AlfWorld, WebShop). ReSpAct is flexible enough to incorporate dynamic user feedback and addresses prevalent issues like error propagation and agents getting stuck in reasoning loops. This results in more interpretable, human-like task-solving trajectories than relying solely on reasoning traces. In two interactive decision-making benchmarks, AlfWorld and WebShop, ReSpAct outperform the strong reasoning-only method ReAct by an absolute success rate of 6% and 4%, respectively. In the task-oriented dialogue benchmark MultiWOZ, ReSpAct improved Inform and Success scores by 5.5% and 3%, respectively.

They're inside millions of homes and are useful for setting a timer or answering a query. But smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Nest may be unsafe for famous people because they can'give away how you live', an academic has warned. Sadie Creese, professor of cybersecurity at Oxford University, says the popular tech devices can make certain notable figures especially'targetable' to hackers. That's because they're fitted with microphones and even cameras that record and save data to the cloud. These recordings can potentially be accessed by cybercriminals remotely, which could could harm the victim's organisation or their family, she said.
