In recent years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to create increasingly advanced battery technologies that are charged faster, last longer, and can store more energy. These batteries will ultimately play a crucial role in the advancement of the electronics and energy sector, powering the wide range of portable devices on the market, as well as electric vehicles.

It's been quite a week for ChatGPT-maker OpenAI—and co-founder Sam Altman.

Yeah. It’s a little sad that you can fit the text of every book ever written by humans on one hard drive (sigh).

You can use AI tools like Claude to help you write full-length content. By going paragraph-by-paragraph, you can direct the AI while seemingly maintaining your own voice and ideas.

Pointers are a great source of confusion in C - newbies have a hard time grasping them. But coupled with arrays, some of the semantics of pointers are complex enough to confound even more seasoned programmers.

The turmoil at ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, sparked by the board of directors firing high-profile CEO Sam Altman on Nov. 17, 2023, has put a spotlight on artificial intelligence safety and concerns about the rapid development of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. AGI is loosely defined as human-level intelligence across a range of tasks.
