You've seen a ton of videos of humanoid robots – but this one feels different. It's Sanctuary's Phoenix bot, with "the world's best robot hands," working totally autonomously at near-human speeds – much faster than Tesla's or Figure's robots.

After nearly three decades, Vice will stop publishing stories to its website. Vice Media CEO Bruce Dixon said today that the company is going to lay off hundreds of employees as it plans a shift toward social platforms, according to a memo to employees obtained by Washington Post reporter Will Sommer.
“It is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously,” Dixon writes. “Moving forward we will look to partner with established media companies to distribute our digital content, including news, on their global platforms, as we fully transition to a studio model.”
Vice has been struggling with many of the same challenges affecting other companies across the media industry. Advertising has...

The Original Made in Maine L.L.Bean Boot – $109 ($149)
There was a time, dear reader, when you couldn’t find a pair of Bean Boots to purchase no matter how hard you tried.
Thankfully they have since upped their production. But perhaps by too much? Because now what was rarely if ever on sale for even 10% off, is getting a healthy 27% off / forty-bucks off.
Note that these aren’t insulated (they do have an insulated option on sale as well though), so best for non frigid weather. They’ll also excel in late winter/”slop season” and into the wet and muck of early Spring.
If you’re curious but unsure, perhaps give our post 7 Reasons Why L.L. Bean Boots are Timeless Classics a quick read.
Still made in the USA.
Also note that Bean Boots have an accommodating fit which can be be confusing:
L.L. Bean Boots Fit Advice:
- With light or midweight socks: Whole sizes, order one size down. Half sizes, order 1½ size down. (Example: 9 or 9½, order a size 8)
- With heavyweight socks: Whole sizes, order your normal size. Half sizes, order one size down. (Example: 9 or 9½, order a size 9.)
Outbound shipping is free since they’re over $75.
Returns by mail in the US well set you back a $6.50 pre-paid label.
That’s all.
Stay dry.
Carry on.
Earlier this year, Amazon announced plans to start incorporating ads into movies and TV shows streamed from its Prime Video service, and now the company has revealed a specific date when you’ll start seeing them: it’s January 29th. “This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time,” the company said in an email to customers about the pending shift to “limited advertisements.”
“We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership,” the company wrote. Customers have the option of paying an additional $2.99 per month to keep...
Scientists have grown a tiny brain-like organoid out of human stem cells, hooked it up to a computer, and demonstrated its potential as a kind of organic machine learning chip, showing it can quickly pick up speech recognition and math predictions.
