For months after her relationship ended, Anna* couldn’t stop thinking about him.Each morning she’d wake with a jolt of grief; an intense, almost physical feeling that morphed into thoughts of him that consumed nearly every waking hour.Most nights she fell asleep playing mental reruns of conversations and imagined reconciliations in her mind.For many people, longing like this sits within the broad terrain of ordinary romantic yearning.

Instead, most said, a heavy dose of an older kind of AI will be needed to get these systems up to par: symbolic AI.Sometimes called ‘good old-fashioned AI’, symbolic AI is based on formal rules and an encoding of the logical relationships between…

Pete’s Eats, the famous climbers’ cafe in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia), reopened this summer after almost three years of being shuttered. The newly minted version is a swish affair, with a copper-topped bar, distressed wood panels, local craft beers, tacos and a handsome crew of young locals in branded T-shirts. A lot of money has clearly been spent on the refurb, and it seems to be at the forefront of a new wave of developments in the historic village of Llanberis.When Pete Norton and his wife Victoria opened a cafe here in 1978, they envisioned a refuge for climbers,…

AUSTIN, Texas — As jubilant Texas fans floated their way out of Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, one burnt-orange clad spectator said to nobody in particular: “What a win, I don’t even remember Athens, Georgia.” That’s the type of memory-erasing magic that comes with a victory in the Lone Star Showdown. The rivalry returned to Austin for the first time in 15 years with the century-old foes reuniting as members of the Southeastern Conference last season.Two years. Two Texas wins. Two heartbreaking SEC championship eliminations for Texas A&M. This game played out with a different cadence than the 2024…

This week’s biggest science news took us on a journey through human prehistory, with the discovery that the mysterious, 3.4 million-year-old “Burtele foot” in Ethiopia may have belonged to an enigmatic human relative who lived at the same time as our ancestor “Lucy.”This study is a significant one for many reasons, not only showing differences in how offshoots of humanity’s family tree walked (with the Burtele foot being adapted for life in trees), but also having the potential to rewrite assumptions about who our ancestors really were.And on the darker and stranger sides of hominin history, we also covered a…
