The gray model may lack some of the Game Boy’s vintage vibes like the other colors on offer, but the design homages are there once you look close. Between the Analogue Pocket and the proliferation of game emulators on Apple’s App Store, retro gaming is more than chic in 2024. So, it’s not terribly surprising that boutique keyboard maker Angry Miao is getting in on some of that sweet nostalgia with its latest mechanical board, the Game Boy-inspired AM RGB 65. But the real surprise is that what at first blush looks like a near-$600 parts bin rehash of an existing board is actually Angry Miao’s best mech to date. There’s a lot of Cyberboard DNA here, but oh so much better. The RGB 65 is a 65 percent layout keyboard, but its large dot matrix LED forehead means it takes up almost as much space as most 75 percent keyboards. It looks a whole lot like a shrunken-down...

The Cruise Origin in 2020. | Image: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge General Motors told reporters on Tuesday that it has indefinitely suspended production of its self-driving Cruise Origin robotaxi, reports The New York Times. The company will refocus on using the Chevy Bolt EV, which Cruise has already been using. A modified version will go into production next year. The Origin created “regulatory uncertainty” owing to its design, GM CEO Mary Barra said in her letter to shareholders today. It was to be purpose-built for self-driving, with no steering wheel or pedals, no clear front or rear, and no driver; but estimates put each vehicle’s cost in the hundreds of thousands. The company said in September of last year that it was “just days away” from regulators approving the Origin for mass production. ... Continue reading…

Image: Toyota Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Stanford are plugging AI into two Supras that pull off Formula Drift-style tandem driving — but they’re looking for something more important than style points. In a press release, TRI’s VP of human interactive driving, Avinash Balachandran, says that drifting two cars in tandem autonomously is a “milestone” and has “far-reaching implications for building advanced safety systems” in future passenger vehicles. Beyond the impressive showing, which can be seen in a video, professor Chris Gerdes, who co-directs the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford, says the physics of drifting are similar to the behavior of cars on snow or ice. Balachandran adds that the tech can kick in precisely in time to... Continue reading…

Image: Nick Barclay / The Verge Back in April, Meta teased that it was working on a first for the AI industry: an open-source model with performance that matched the best private models from companies like OpenAI. Today, that model has arrived. Meta is releasing Llama 3.1, the largest-ever open-source AI model, which the company claims outperforms GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet on several benchmarks. It’s also making the Llama-based Meta AI assistant available in more countries and languages while adding a feature that can generate images based on someone’s specific likeness. CEO Mark Zuckerberg now predicts that Meta AI will be the most widely used assistant by the end of this year, surpassing ChatGPT. Llama 3.1 is significantly more complex than the...

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon’s plan to launch a paid version of Alexa is part of a strategy change to reverse the over $25 billion in losses that its devices business incurred from 2017 to 2021, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The AI-supercharged Alexa, which is rumored to cost up to $10 / month, could arrive as soon as this month. With a potential launch just weeks away, employees reportedly have doubts about whether the new version of Alexa will catch on. A person who worked on the Alexa team told the WSJ that the division is racing toward the deadline to launch the subscription even though “the technology isn’t there.” Amazon’s former head of devices, David Limp, first revealed Amazon’s plans to charge for an improved version of Alexa...

In the ancient world, the port city of Parion was a vital trading point for goods traveling from ancient Greece and the Aegean to the city of Istanbul, and all points beyond. While the city no longer exists, excavations in northwestern Turkey’s Canakkale province near the village of Kemer have uncovered many ruins and artifacts from Parion, including the remains of harbor facilities found in the southern section of the site. During the most recent excavation season, archaeologists were excited to discover a second port farther to the north, one that apparently served an entirely different function than its southern counterpart.  Touching Discovery of 2,000-Year-Old Toys Inside Ancient Greek Child Tombs  Read moreSection: NewsHistory & ArchaeologyAncient PlacesEuropeRead Later
