The holiday sales bonanza is getting closer, and big brands like LG, Samsung, HP and Dell are all getting in on the action.

Looks like Google Chrome decided to censor the history of your own local browser, to reproduce go to chrome://history and then scroll down to 14+ days from today and search for that, it will not show. This isn't a case for IFF Internet Freedom Foundation, right?

TV & Online News likes to call election races when "60% of precincts are reporting". What specific probabilistic /statistical models and/or classifiers are used to determine this prediction? And what parameters vary among publishers such that Fox, NYT, Newspapers and Online Publications vary so much in calling races?

Hey everyone,

I used to go out looking for gift ideas for my parents, girlfriend, and some family members. But during busy seasons, I’d often check online for ideas and still struggle to find the right gifts, which meant going out to buy them anyway. So, I built a simple gift ideas generator that also suggests where to buy them.

You just input details about the person you want to gift— the more detailed, the better— and you’ll get a list of 20 gift ideas with links to where you can buy them on Google.

It’s a simple tool, but I’d appreciate any feedback!

I took a look at how WebGPU works, you can use it to run a Twin Prime Search (pretty slowly). It's just a demonstration of the technology.

Let me know if it works on your browser.

What can you do when experts can’t be trusted? Draw lots.

Lil Wayne had expressed a strong desire to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2025, as the event will be hosted in his hometown, New Orleans, at Caesars Superdome. He shared this ambition in interviews, hoping to bring his music to the Super Bowl stage. However, Kendrick Lamar was ultimately chosen for the 2025 halftime performance, a decision made by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which handles Super Bowl entertainment. This selection disappointed Wayne, with fans and industry figures, including Nicki Minaj, voicing their support for him .

I know this is a high-profile event but is it time to start applying “sortition” to the selection of the Super Bowl halftime performer from a curated list of artists provided by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation to ensure a diverse and unbiased representation, which can bring fresh perspectives to decision-making.
