Ranra presented an excellent and heart melting fall collection with colors that looked enticingly edible and unstructured tailoring that had the lightness of a snowfall. Funnily enough it was beeswax, a sticky, resin-like material that has “a long, practical history in the Nordic region—waterproofing, sealing, protecting,” as Arnar Már Jónsson explained in an email, that was the starting point. This explains the wax drip sculptures that dressed the set.Jónsson and Luke Stevens, who work between Iceland and England, know from cold and designed for it. Exaggerated, fur-lined hoods that took an incognito approach to dressing to extremes were one of…

Since 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a number of historic milestones, including sending back the first audio recordings from Mars. Now, nearly five years after landing on the Red Planet, it just achieved another feat. This past December, Perseverance successfully completed a route through a section of the Jezero crater plotted by Anthropic’s Claude chatbot, marking the first time NASA has used a large language model to pilot the car-sized robot.Between December 8 and 10, Perseverance drove approximately 400 meters (about 437 yards) through a field of rocks on the Martian surface mapped out by Claude. As you might…

SpaceX is reportedly lining up four major Wall Street banks for a potential 2026 IPO — a move that could signal the long-awaited reopening of the public markets after a years-long IPO drought. In the meantime, late-stage private companies like SpaceX are finding other ways to create liquidity for employees and early shareholders, largely through a fast-growing secondary market. To unpack what SpaceX’s IPO chatter means, how private liquidity works before a debut, and what investors are looking for in today’s pre-IPO giants, we spoke with Greg Martin, managing director at Rainmaker Securities, a broker-dealer specializing in secondary share transactions…

What makes a good saucepanMaterials and constructionAccordionItemContainerButtonSimilar to stockpots, sauté pans, frying pans (and all the best cookware, really), the most important features of a saucepan are good heat conductivity, good heat retention, and even heat distribution. We wanted a pan that heated up and cooled down quickly, because that provides more control when working with finicky sauces. A 3-ply or 5-ply fully clad saucepan made with high-quality aluminum and stainless steel is ideal. This material combination is safe to use at high heats, is oven- and induction-compatible, extremely durable, and of course, great at retaining and distributing heat. A…

Newcastle United were long term admirers, viewing Ekitike as a potential successor to Alexander Isak. In the end both players found…

The Sundance documentary Ghost in the Machine boldly declares that the pursuit of artificial intelligence, and Silicon Valley itself, is rooted in eugenics.Director Valerie Veatch makes the case that the rise of techno-fascism from the likes of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel is a feature, not a bug. That may sound hyperbolic, but Ghost in the Machine, which is built around interviews with philosophers, AI researchers, historians and computer scientists, leaves little room for doubt.If you’ve been following the meteoric rise of AI, or Silicon Valley in general, Veatch’s methodical deconstruction of the technology doesn’t really unearth anything new. The…

Moviegoers will find a wealth of familiar franchises on the big screen this year. It may not be enough to save the box office.

But am I buying good-quality beef? I asked Norm Nesby Jr, a…
