“Join xAI if the idea of mass drivers on the Moon appeals to you,” CEO Elon Musk proclaimed yesterday following a restructuring that saw a stream of former executives exit the AI lab. This is an interesting recruitment strategy after the company’s merger with Musk’s rocket maker, SpaceX, and the combined company’s anticipated IPO.

After outlining plans to build AI data centers in orbit,…

AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are two main attributes you want in the steel of an everyday knife: hardness and corrosion resistance. Unfortunately, they can work against one another because the elements in steel that make it corrosion resistant, like chromium, also make it softer. The carbon content in a steel is what makes it hard, and a harder blade, higher in carbon, holds its edge better. The trick is to find a balance. Some high-end knife companies go to the trouble of developing proprietary steel blends, but even there are some good mass market steels used by budget brands as well. All the…

The head of the antitrust division is out at the US Department of Justice. Gail Slater, a former JD Vance adviser and Fox Corp VP, reportedly clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

A.L.C. is more about wardrobing than storytelling, and fall is perhaps the crux of Andrea Lieberman’s thesis. “For me, it’s a nuanced shift, adding things into the wardrobe that we feel are missing,” the designer said of the fall season. “Nothing monumental happens.”As her own best customer, Lieberman filled the silk shirting-shaped hole in her closet with a variety of blouses, from a traditional rich brown button-up to a billowing mock-neck in navy and ecru. Though she isn’t much a fan of dresses, Lieberman also designed a deep eggplant silk shirtdress with a low-slung waist tie. The palette, mostly traditional…

Waymo needs some help, according to an email message the self-driving developer sent to residents of Washington, DC, on Thursday.For more than a year, Waymo has been pushing city officials to pass new regulations allowing its robotaxis to operate in the district. So far, self-driving cars can test in the city with humans behind the wheel, but cannot operate in driver-free mode.

The company has previously said…
