Study reveals how the brain reacts when we encounter a person or object out of their normal context for the first time. Findings demonstrate how the memory system strives for efficiency and only encodes absolutely essential information. But of course I've told you that before

A powerful AI algorithm has some, well, unusual predictions for what lies in store down the road. Beware of killer orchids, dragon cats and moon scorpions
And now the AI come for the National Enquirer and Daily Mail writers...

Light-emitting diodes—LEDs—can do way more than illuminate your living room. These light sources are useful microelectronics too. Good news for those people that like to trick out their machines with blinkenlights

Quote: The LED sends a pulse of light toward your face, and a timer in the phone measures how long it takes that light to reflect back to the phone
The guy has no clue what he's talking about. At 1 nanosecond per foot, that timer would have to measure in the picoseconds, which I believe (from my work in sub-nanosecond laser range gating in the 1980's) requires equipment that will not fit in your phone.[^]
More likely, there's simply a narrow band optical sensor that looks for the reflection.
Yup. Infrared proximity sensor.[^]

There's an interesting video floating around Youtube on the Applied Science channel you might like.
In it, the host gets a 3 pin laser diode module and uses it to perform distance measurements.
It involves the laser interfering with itself and modulating the signal produced by the integrated photodetector.

How long before the blinking lights on one board start communicating with the light detecting diodes of another board and start communicating in Morse Code or other more covert signaling ... all above any scrutiny by the OS or BIOS?

The Federal Trade Commission announced Monday that it is launching a new inquiry into the privacy practices of some of the largest tech companies and social media platforms in the world. I really wanted to use "Something about barn doors and horses", but I understand I may have used it recently

Besides... those companies are pretty good in privacy, they take the hell out of our data pretty privately without saying a simple word.
If the sentence refers to our privacy... again... into what?

I think most people that do know about it discovered it by accident as well.

A new study by the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, together with the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney, has uncovered that while working from home in pyjamas during the COVID-19 pandemic did not lower productivity, it was linked to poorer mental health. Works for me
Even when I was in the office.

IOW, you don't have to be crazy to work from home, but it helps.
