Starfield mod masks loading screens for seamless planetary takeoffs

A new Starfield mod masks the loading screen during planetary takeoffs, making departures feel seamless and more immersive — similar to No Man's Sky. The mod is currently in beta and the creator acknowledges it isn't a perfect solution yet. It's a fan-made workaround for one of the game's most criticised limitations.

Should seamless planetary takeoffs be built into Starfield by the developers?

Climate adaptation isn't surrender — it's survival

Drawing on AI researcher Rich Sutton's 2019 "Bitter Lesson" essay — which argues that raw computing power consistently outperforms human ingenuity in AI — the author applies the same logic to climate change. The piece argues that adapting to climate change is not surrender but a necessary survival strategy alongside mitigation efforts.

Should climate adaptation be prioritised alongside prevention efforts?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Yo-Yo Dieting Linked to Accelerated Muscle Loss

Repeated cycles of weight loss and regain — known as the yo-yo effect — may accelerate the loss of muscle mass. Each dieting cycle followed by weight regain carries the risk of gradual muscle depletion, worsening body composition and metabolism over the long term.

Musk Promises AI-Generated Odyssey Film From Grok Imagine by Year's End

Elon Musk announced on X that his AI tool Grok Imagine will produce a full-length film based on Homer's Odyssey before the end of the year. Musk said the film will be "historically accurate and true to the art of Homer," positioning it as a counter to Christopher Nolan's blockbuster, which Musk has repeatedly criticised over its casting. A shared three-minute clip generated by Grok Imagine depicts a scene between Odysseus and the nymph Calypso.

Can a fully AI-generated film match the quality of a human-made one?

Chilean jack mackerel: a sustainable, protein-rich alternative to regular mackerel

Chilean jack mackerel is a lesser-known fish with soft, flavourful flesh that can substitute for regular mackerel, whose catches are increasingly questioned by sustainable fisheries experts. Its protein content rivals that of salmon, and it is rich in fatty acids beneficial for brain and heart health. The fish looks similar to mackerel and offers a more sustainable option for eco-conscious shoppers.

Should consumers switch from mackerel to more sustainable fish species?
