We Drive (What Could Be) the Reborn Toyota MR2

It has been said that test mules are bugs. Shod with GPS antenna, they often crawl through development resembling stag beetles instead of something any of us would drive. If we're ever fortunate enough to see them, it's usually by mistake. Or via the telephoto lens of some fancy helicopter-having spy photographer.

Five Alive! We Drive an Early Prototype of the Fifth-Generation 2027 BMW X5

When discussing the greatest BMWs of all time, the conversation often fixates on an era of Bimmers that excelled in rote commutes and spirited drives alike—the ever important ride-handling balance. The cars from that era all carry a common thread: From 1997 to 2012, an engineer named Bernd Limmer was among those who signed off on the chassis of the E46 M3, E39 M5, and E9X M3, among many others. Limmer is also the principal engineer of the upcoming fifth-generation 2027 X5 (chassis code G65), and his tuning sense might be the special ingredient this new BMW needs to really cook.

ChatGPT Ads Manager Is Now Open to Everyone: Here's How to React | Neil Patel

Key Takeaways

• ChatGPT surpassed $100 million in annualized ad revenue in its first six weeks, generated from less than 20 percent of eligible users seeing ads daily.
• Around 85 percent of free and Go tier users are eligible to see ads, meaning current revenue represents a small fraction of eventual ad capacity.
• Self-serve access launched in May 2026, opening the platform beyond the initial group of managed pilot brands via a new OpenAI Ads Manager.
• OpenAI removed the $50,000 minimum spend requirement entirely, opening the door for businesses of any size.
• ChatGPT now reaches 800 million weekly active users, processing 2.5 billion prompts daily.
• First-mover advantage is real, and it will not last long once self-serve competition normalizes pricing.

For the past several months, advertising on ChatGPT meant getting an invitation. A small group of brands had access. Everyone else waited.

Has the answer to life's origins been hiding in our cells all along? | New Scientist

In every cell of your body, there are mysterious speckles. You need a microscope to see them, but if you peer closely, you will see lots of tiny dots: some sitting still, some moving around as if swept along in invisible currents.

Built in the Open: How Pilot Districts Shaped the Reimagined Khan Academy

When Hanover’s Assistant Superintendent Phil Misecko talks about Khan Academy’s pilot in Hanover Community School Corporation, he does not start with the technology. He starts with the students.

“Our high school kids were excited about competing,” he said in a recent webinar. “Teachers were hearing kids tell other kids, ‘Hey, you better pull your weight. I want to win this Gem competition.’ There’s nothing better than positive reinforcement and motivation among kids.”

Oxford physicists just made Schrödinger’s cat even stranger

Researchers at the University of Oxford have created a new type of quantum superposition, a phenomenon often associated with the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. Unlike previous versions, these newly demonstrated states are built from highly nonclassical quantum components. The achievement could help advance quantum computing beyond traditional binary systems, improve sensing technologies, and provide new insights into the foundations of quantum physics.

I Built an AI Grading Tool. Then a Student Thanked Me for Words I

Two school days. That’s all it took.

In 2024, I chaperoned field trips two days in a row, for two different grade levels, and came back to roughly 450 ungraded assignments.

Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari win a statement to himself and the rest of F1

For Hamilton it was a moment of redemption after a first season at Ferrari that left him questioning himself, and others questioning him.

It was painful to watch him at points last year, as he wrestled with the confusion created by his lack of pace. He called the season a "nightmare". He called himself "just useless". He suggested Ferrari should get another driver.
