Opting for a timeless Max & Co camel coat, Kate masterfully matched the rest of her outfit to it to create high-end finish. This, in the fashion industry, is called monochroming—wearing one shade top-to-toe—and is the very styling trick editors and influencers use when they want to look expensive and put together. Underneath it she wore a knitted midi, which just so happens to be our favourite dress style to wear at this time of year, which she then finished with pieces we’ve seen before—a handbag from DeMellier and heels from Ralph Lauren. New in this outfit mix, however, is a waist-belt from…
A 2020 investigation by The Markup and Propublica found that tenant-screening algorithms often encounter obstacles like mistaken identity, especially for people of color with common last names. A Propublica assessment of algorithms made by the Texas-based company RealPage last year suggested it can drive up rents.A second case against SafeRent under the Fair Housing Act concluded in federal court in Connecticut in November and awaits a judge’s decision. It was brought by Carmen Arroyo and others, who say the company’s CrimSAFE algorithm deemed a shoplifting charge that was later dropped “disqualifying,” leading to a request for her disabled son, who is unable to…

If the pilot episode gave us an outline of the series, Night Court Season 1 Episode 2 starts to color in the details. We see that improving the world drives Abby to engage others in her mission and how that engagement causes the others to react. And, like the first day in the prison yard, she takes on the biggest challenge first — turning Dan Fielding into an empathetic, connected public defender. To be fair, I personally thought Dan’s showmanship in defending Carmine was pretty brilliant. Abby can’t accuse him of not putting in an effort since filling the gallery…

(Image credit: Aliaksandr Barysenka / EyeEm via Getty Images)A common claim states that a sheet of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times. But is this true?

Robots have been designed to move in ways that mimic animal movements, such as walking and swimming. Scientists are now considering how to design robots that mimic the gliding motion exhibited by flying snakes. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech explored the lift production mechanism of flying snakes, which undulate side-to-side as they move from the tops of trees to the ground to escape predators or to move around quickly and efficiently. The undulation allows snakes to glide for long distances, as much as 25 meters from a 15-meter tower.…

DC’s Batgirl might never see the light of day, but Leslie Grace has made sure that fans at least got an idea of what they could have expected had her movie not been dropped by HBO Max.

On the website Infinite Conversation, the German filmmaker Werner Herzog and the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek are having a public chat about anything and everything. Their discussion is compelling, in part, because these intellectuals have distinctive accents when speaking English, not to mention a tendency toward eccentric word choices. But they have something else in common: both voices are deepfakes, and the text they speak in those distinctive accents is being generated by artificial intelligence. I built this conversation as a warning. Improvements in what’s called machine learning have made deepfakes—incredibly realistic but fake images, videos or speech—too easy to…

Many believe our particularly large brain is what makes us human – but is there more to it? The brain’s shape, as well as the shapes of its component parts (lobes) may also be important.Results of a study we published Thursday (Jan. 5) in (opens in new tab) show that the way the different parts of the human brain evolved separates us from our primate relatives. In a sense, our brains never grow up. We share this “Peter Pan syndrome” with only one other primate – the Neanderthals.Our findings provide insight into what makes us human, but also further narrow any…
