Etched co-founder and CEO Gavin Uberti said on a recent episode of TechCrunch’s Found podcast that his company “stands on the shoulders of giants.” While the company got the idea to build chips focused on transformer models months before the AI boom began in November 2022, it still played a big role in getting the company off the ground.

Australian online retailer Booktopia has been sold to Australian online electronics store digiDirect – saving the business whose sales made up 54.7% of Australia’s online bookselling market. (Booktopia’s closest competitor, Amazon, made up 11.1%.)

Booktopia’s reprieve means Australian readers, writers and publishers will continue to have a significant local champion for Australian voices.

Through the sale, digiDirect gains the Angus & Robertson and Co-op brands (the latter sells textbooks to Australian university students), around A$14 million of inventory, and a large pool of monthly active customers.

The new owner, Shant Kradjian, told the Australian Financial Review he intends to immediately invest millions of...

“Unlike language, where we don’t have mathematical models to describe what the next word should be, when it comes to physics, we do have those models. And what we’re seeing is that machine learning is actually quite good at computation, not just pattern recognition,” said co-founder Darren Garvey.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Renovate Robotics on Tuesday unveiled its latest rooftop robot, the Rufus V1. The system is a refinement of the prototypes the New York-based firm showcased earlier this year. It automates one of construction’s most common — and dangerous — tasks. The startup has clearly come a long way since we first covered it in May 2023, when its robot was made up of several DeWalt nail guns mounted to a gantry system.

Scientists are working on a machine learning tool that could, one day, identify individual animals from photographs of their footprints. Some wild animals are relatively easy to study. Certain penguin populations, for instance, are so unaccustomed to large predators that they barely fear humans and will often wander right up to scientists lurking nearby. Namibia’s brown hyenas are the opposite. These roughly one-meter-long mammals—more closely related to mongooses than dogs—live in small clans but often travel and hunt alone. They roam mainly at night and tend to skirt even the most cunningly placed camera traps. That’s if, like the hyena cubs that devoured the pair of cameras hyena researcher Marie Lemerle had positioned outside their den, they don’t destroy them outright. “They managed to open the metal case and then chewed on the camera, so even the SD card was finished,” says Lemerle, a researcher with the Brown Hyena Research Project.
