Between the ongoing RAM crisis and the failure of the Galaxy S25 Edge, it’s been suggested that next year’s Galaxy S26 lineup will receive minor updates. However, a new leak suggests that the Plus model could be in for a bigger shakeup than we previously thought.The leak comes from Tech Informer on Facebook who released an infographic highlighting specs for all three S26 phones. Several of the included upgrades are ones we’ve been expecting like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, though Tech Informer hedges its bets by adding ‘or Exynos 2600.’ (Image credit: Tech Informer)There are some…

Why It Works Mixing butter and cream into the potatoes while they’re still hot helps the fat absorb evenly, creating a smooth, cohesive base that’s easier to roll out.Chilling the potato mixture before adding flour lets the potato starch fully set and firm, yielding a dough that handles well and stays tender.Rolling out the dough on a floured cloth keeps it from sticking without adding extra flour in the dough, making lefse that cook up thin, freckled, and flexible. The first time I tried to make lefse, I quit halfway through.  I thought the American version of the Norwegian flatbread…

[Submitted on 18 Dec 2025] View a PDF of the paper titled Realistic threat perception drives intergroup conflict: A causal, dynamic analysis using generative-agent simulations, by Suhaib Abdurahman and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Human conflict is often attributed to threats against material conditions and symbolic values, yet it remains unclear how they interact and which dominates. Progress is limited by weak causal control, ethical constraints, and scarce temporal data. We address these barriers using simulations of large language model (LLM)-driven agents in virtual societies, independently varying realistic and symbolic threat while tracking actions, language, and attitudes. Representational…

If there’s one thing I remember about being at my grandma’s house, it’s that she was always entertaining. Whether it was a graduation party, shower, or holiday gathering, she always found a reason to host a crowd. And what allowed her to pull a party together so easily (and so often) is that she stuck to a simple, sophisticated menu. My grandma, Omi, had her go-to dishes that didn’t take much time or effort to throw together on the party day, and she made them on repeat. There was always a 5-minute shrimp dip to start and a shortcut Kahlua…

As a marketer and consumer, few can explain the impact of AI personalization quite like yours truly.

, cleaned the data, made a few transformations, modeled it, and then deployed your model to be used by the client.  That’s a lot of work for a data scientist. But the job is not completed once the model hits the real world.  Everything looks perfect on your dashboard. But under the hood, something’s wrong. Most models don’t fail loudly. They don’t “crash” like a buggy app. Instead, they just… drift. Remember, you still need to monitor it to ensure the results are accurate. One of the simplest ways to do that is by checking if the data is drifting.…
