Reddits automatic moderation tool is flagging the word Luigi as potentially violent even when the content isnt.Earlier this week, a moderator from r/popculture saw Reddits AutoModerator system flag a post about the video game Luigis Mansion 3 because it included the word Luigi, giving them instructions to check for violence.A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter, said there is no sitewide filter for the word Luigi or expectation that users stop talking about Luigi Mangione, the person who prosecutors accuse of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.But Reddit does appear to be flagging comments that mention Luigi in some cases, even those unrelated to Mangione just not in the way that it first appeared to be. The Reddit spokesperson said that because r/popculture had recently fallen down to a single moderator, automod features kicked in, including a way to filter for keywords that could but dont necessarily indicate violating content. The remaining moderator of r/popculture told The Verge that the mod team didnt add Luigi to the list of keywords, Reddit did.The r/popculture moderator posted about the Luigi issue to the r/FreeLuigi subreddit, a grassroots community where people discuss the Mangione case. The subreddit has strict rules in place to avoid violating Reddits moderation rules, like referring to Mangiones by his initials and a blanket ban on content that calls for or endorses violence. But the moderators still fear that Reddit will decide to shut it down even if they dont run afoul of the platforms rules.Meanwhile, r/popculture which has over 125,000 members is closing down due to issues that the remaining moderator pins on Reddit. The moderator who posted about the Luigi issue announced last night they were shutting down the entire community due to Reddit admins being complete fucking morons. In the post, the moderator says that another member of the team was suspended and that Reddit has been unhelpful in trying to resolve the suspension.The Reddit spokesperson said that the r/popculture moderator was suspended for approving content containing direct calls for violence, including images celebrating [the Donald Trump rally shooter] and content calling to assassinate the president. An r/popculture moderator denied this happened, and said the content in question was a photo of the shooter that did not celebrate him. The Reddit spokesperson notes that the automod features are temporary for r/popculture and that moderators can still approve the content for posting.The Luigi issue comes the same week as Reddits new crackdown on banned content. Earlier this week, the company announced it would warn users who upvote content that is banned on the platform. The policy applies to users who upvote such content several times in a certain timeframe, Reddit says in a post, and the company will begin with enforcing the rule on violent content. The spokesperson says that at this time nobody has been suspended under the new rule.See More:

A Trio of Stop-Motion Shorts Utilize a Cumbersome 3D-Printing TechniqueMarch 8, 2025AnimationFilmGrace EbertAlready more cumbersome than digital techniques, stop-motion animation typically involves sets and characters designed to make subtle movements so that filmmakers can capture minute shifts frame by frame. Directors Jack Cunningham and Nicolas Mnard, of Eeastend Western, have chosen the even more involved process of replacement animation for their recent project.Popularized by George Pal in the 1930s and 40s, replacement animation involves creating distinctive models for each movement. Where Pal used wooden characters, though, Cunningham and Mnard opted for 3D-printed figures for their new anthology, TRIPLE BILL.Comprising a trio of films all under two minutes, the collection spans three genres to survey the atmospheric potential of the technique, the directors say. The first is BLUE GOOSE, a western mocking the current state of social media, that features an enormous cowboy statue that leaves his post at the gas station. Just to have the figure walk across the set required eight unique models.The second two are similarly labor-intensive. CLUB ROW is a dizzying film noir about data privacy featuring an endlessly spinning staircase, and MYTHACRYLATE is a fantastic glimpse at the battles we have with ourselves.As the behind-the-scenes photos below show, each model had to be cut, sanded, and painted individually before being precisely placed in position. Mnard told Its Nice That that elements like lighting, sound, and camera angles were particularly important to help convey emotion in TRIPLE BILL, which envelops viewers in a hypnotic critique of technology and its effects.Find more from Eastend Western on Vimeo.

Published March 8, 2025 6:00am EST close Chinese humanoid robot lands worlds first front flip, a harder feat than a backflip Among robots, a front flip is significantly more difficult than a backflip. Chinese robotics company Zhongqing Robotics, also known as EngineAI, has officially entered the humanoid robotics scene by releasing a video showcasing what it claims is the world's first humanoid robot front flip.Robot backflips are becoming commonplace, but a front flip is significantly more difficult than a backflip, as any gymnast can attest. PM01 humanoid robot performing a front flip. (EngineAI)Front flips: A big dealThe challenge for robots attempting a front flip lies in maintaining balance and control throughout the rotation.Unlike humans, robots rely on precise sensor data and motor control to execute complex movements. During a front flip, the robot must rapidly shift its weight, adjust its center of gravity and coordinate the movements of its limbs to ensure a smooth and controlled landing.EngineAI has overcome a significant challenge in robotics by programming its PM01 to gather enough force to spin in the forward direction while calculating the correct angular velocity and torque. PM01 humanoid robot performing a front flip. (EngineAI)Robots don't feel fearOf course, this is a robot, and it has no fear, no hesitation and no sense of self-preservation. Its designers can put any range of powerful electric motors and joints into its anatomy, and it's been coded and instructed to flip, so it flips.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? PM01 humanoid robot performing a front flip. (EngineAI)EngineAI's PM01: The detailsIt is still an impressive feat because the field of robotics, particularly humanoid, general-purpose robots, is advancing at an incredible rate.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETApple has finally launched a new entry-level phone, the iPhone 16e. The three-year gap from the previous model release gave the company time to implement a major refresh, including Apple Intelligence, an A18 chipset, a new cellular modem, a larger battery capacity, Face ID, and much more.Also: Best of MWC 2025: 10 most impressive products that you might've missedThe best part -- it is all packaged into a $599 handset, sold for hundreds of dollars less than the baseiPhone 16 model. If you're shopping for a modern-day iPhone for less money, your time may well be now.To find out how the iPhone 16e compares to the rest of the lineup, I switched out my iPhone 16 Pro, which I have been using since its September release, for the iPhone 16e. My findings: I am equally impressed as I am surprised. Read on. Apple iPhone 16e Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET The latest iPhone model is the company's most affordable option in 2025, with a 6.1-inch display that now supports Face ID, an A18 chipset, and a C1 modem for cellular connectivity. Show more 1. The software (featuring Apple Intelligence) Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETFrom the software standpoint, the iPhone 16e delivers everything it promises. The transition from the iPhone 16 Pro to the iPhone 16e was mostly seamless because both run on the same silicon, which allows them to support the latest iOS 18 features to their full capacity, including all of the Apple Intelligence features.This means that despite the lower price tag and not having as many GPU cores as other A18 variants in the iPhone 16 lineup, the iPhone 16e still enabled me to access all of the same Apple Intelligence features, including Writing Tools, Notification Summaries, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence, Clean Up, and my favorite, Genmoji.Also: Forget Siri: Apple Intelligence's true potential on iPad and Mac lies in third-party appsMost importantly, when the full suite of Apple Intelligence features rolls out, iPhone 16e users will have access to it in its entirety. Users with an iPhone 15 model or lower cannot access it.Apple Intelligence is meant to be a "personal intelligence" system grounded in your personal information and context. It can retrieve data from across your apps and reference the content on your screen. iPhone 16e users will have access to this advanced assistance while saving a couple of hundred dollars on the initial device. However, don't center your buying decision on this factor alone, as it may be a while until Siri 2.0 rolls out. A recentBloomberg report suggests a release date as late as 2027.2. A new camera that gets the job done for most people Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETThe front camera of the iPhone 16e is the same as the other iPhone 16 lineup: a 12MP front-facing camera, meaning that your selfies will be exactly the same. However, a quick glance at the back of the iPhone 16e reveals that the camera system is significantly more primitive than that of the iPhone 16 Pro.Also: Visible will give you the new iPhone 16e for free. Here's how.The iPhone 16e features a 48MP wide camera on the back with an integrated 2x Telephoto, which, although an upgrade from the previous model, might be a deal-breaker for photo enthusiasts. As expected, I found that the iPhone 16 Pro's dualcamera system produces more polished photos than the 16e's dual-functioning camera. My biggest struggle has been not having the 12MP Ultra Wide camera, which I constantly use on the iPhone 16 Pro to take .5x photos.Because of the lower-grade camera, some of the more advanced features found on iPhone 16 Pro, such as shooting ProRaw or cinematic video, are unavailable. You also can't shoot spatial videos, though you're probably not considering that if you're eye an iPhone 16e. Still, the smartphone can still take beautiful photos, so if the absence of an ultrawide or telephoto lens is not a dealbreaker for you, this is still a solid camera system.3. Missing Dynamic Island/Camera Control Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETThe biggest difference in the form factor of the iPhone 16e, other than the slightly smaller 6.1-inch size, is the lack of a Dynamic Island and Camera Control button. Even though the lack of these two elements makes it look more like the iPhone 14 and, therefore, a bit dated, their absence didn't impact my day. In fact, it made me think about when I use either of the features, and the answer is rarely.Also: Why the new $349 iPad is sneakily Apple's best hardware deal right nowOn the iPhone 16 Pro, I do enjoy using the Camera Control button to open the camera and snap photos more conveniently without having to click the shutter button in the middle of the screen. However, because the iPhone 16e includes a Control Button, all I did was map the camera to it and was able to use it the same way I rely on Camera Control.A much less notable but more impactful difference was the absence of MagSafe. This is the best-case scenario for users who have never used Apple's magnet-based accessories but torture for everyone else. It's unfortunate that Apple offered MagSafe for almost every other iPhone in recent years, from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 13 Mini. On the bright side, there are workarounds, such as attachable magnets or a MagSafe-compatible case.4. A display that's adequate, but nothing more Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETI am chronically online, so my week with the iPhone 16e included watching YouTube videos and scrolling on TikTok for hours. My viewing experience on the iPhone 16e was not noticeably different from that on the iPhone 16 Pro, which is great for the price point.The Super Retina XDR display isn't much smaller, coming in at 6.1-inch compared to the 6.3-inch of the iPhone 16 Pro. The visuals featured rich, vibrant colors and deep contrast. The iPhone 16e also has a peak brightness of 1,028 nits, which, although less than the iPhone 16 Pro, allows for a pleasant viewing experience, even when in direct sunlight.Also: Tired of waiting for Siri 2.0? Try these advanced AI voice assistants on your iPhone todayThe nit to pick here is the 60Hz refresh rate, which is the same as the iPhone 16 but half that of the iPhone 16 Pro. I would be lying if I said the more stuttery animations weren't noticeable, especially after coming from the smoother 120Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 16 Pro. This shouldn't be a deal breaker for most users, especially if you're not accustomed to higher refresh rate displays. But it also shouldn't be a talking point when Android phones costing as little as $200 have 120Hz refresh rate displays nowdays.All things considered, the display is one of the biggest improvements from the iPhone SE 2022, which had a Retina HD 4.7-inch display with a peak brightness output of 625 nits.Honorable MentionsThe iPhone 16e has some other compelling features not mentioned above, including:It's lightweight: Having a phone in my back pocket as light as the iPhone 16e is so refreshing after carrying around much heavier models for years. The iPhone 16e weighs 5.88 ounces (167 grams), and the iPhone 16 Pro Max weighs 7.03 ounces (199 grams). Of course, the compromise of a lightweight, less expensive model is that it has a glass back instead of the Pro's titanium.Apple C1 modem:The iPhone 16e also features Apple's first in-house 5G modem, the Apple C1. This modem is a step away from the traditional Qualcomm processor and is meant to grant users a fast and reliable 5G connection. In the long run, it should optimize battery life. In my experience, my service has been exactly the same, which is the intended goal.Battery life: The iPhone 16e offers up to 26 hours of video playback, which is the metric Apple uses to measure battery life. This means that older model users will see a massive improvement. For example, iPhone 11 users will get six more hours of battery life with the upgrade. The iPhone 16 offers up to 26 hours of video playback, only a bit more.ZDNET's buying adviceOverall, it is a solid phone for people willing to forgo some of the bells and whistles of the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup. From my testing, the biggest sacrifice coming from the iPhone 16 Pro was the loss of the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses and advanced photography and videography features. For mostly everything else, the iPhone 16e can hold its own for a $599 handset.Featured reviews

Google pays millions in bug bounties in exchange for vulnerability data.gettyThe ongoing threat to users of Googles products and services is laid bare by reports of zero-day attacks against Android smartphone users, multiple vulnerabilities targeting Chrome every month, sophisticated browser syncjacking attacks, and more. Google is, of course, fighting back. From the ditching of SMS codes as an insecure authentication method for millions, to introducing enhanced attack protection for billions. One area that might come as a surprise, however, is that Google is also paying people for hacking those products and services, and paying them a lot. How much? How does $11.8 million in 2024 grab you? Heres why thats a very good thing indeed.Hacking Google, Making Money, Protecting Billions Of UsersAs an old hacker myself, if I wasnt very happy writing about cybersecurity these days with the odd bit of legal hackery thrown in for my clients, I have to say my perfect job would be that of the bug bounty hacker. I mean, you get to hack some of the biggest technology names out there, and they dont come much bigger than Google, totally legally and get paid for it. This is the bit where I throw in the hacking is not a crime reminder. Only criminal hacking is a crime, and not all hackers are criminals. Sure, theres a thriving trade in selling hacked data on the dark web, but those who hack legally, security researchers and bug bounty hunters looking for vulnerabilities in hardware and software, platforms and services, are also making the big bucks but without the threat of jail time hanging over their heads.In a Google security blog posting published March 7, Dirk Ghmann, a technical writer at Google, confirmed that, during 2024, Google had awarded just shy of $12 million to over 600 researchers based in countries around the globe. For hacking Google. Id recommend reading the entire posting for all the details, but here are the highlights:When it comes to mobile security issues, Google now offers up to $300,000 for critical vulnerabilities in top-tier apps. At the same time, the Cloud program has a maximum $151,515 payout and Chrome bounties peak at $250,000.The Android and Google Devices Security Reward Program and the Google Mobile Vulnerability Reward Program, saw more than $3.3 million in bounties to hackers across 2024. There was an 8% decrease in the number of vulnerabilities found, but a 2% increase in those that were considered critical and high severity. Fewer researchers are submitting fewer, but more impactful bugs, Ghmann said, and are citing the improved security posture of the Android operating system as the central challenge. In other words, paying hackers works.Given the number of Google Chrome security updates across the year, it should come as little surprise that Google said it received 337 reports of verified and unique vulnerabilities during 2024. This resulted in bounties of $3.4 million to 137 different hackers.

Apple has confirmed that its next major iPhone update is coming in April: iOS 18.4. It will have plenty of new stuff in it, though not the updated Siri which has been delayed, Apple has just announced. However, there will be more than half a dozen new emoji, which is always welcome news. Heres whats coming.Apple's latest emoji are coming soon.EmojipediaA New SmileyYou may have thought that there really were no new smiley faces to be added to the world of emoji without being really obscure (though Id be up for faces that successfully conveyed glib puzzlement, wistful nostalgia or the mildest of disdain).But no, theres now Face with Bags Under Eyes, which to me sums up how I feel, at least at the end of a working week. It looks remarkably tired, but oddly the weariness for me is evoked more by the heavy lids above the eyes, and the eyebrows which signal that theres a lot more to be done before you can relax. Oh, the ennui.Bags Under Eyes, Fingerprints and Splatterall coming soon to iOS 18.4.EmojipediaThe FingerprintThis is a timely one: were all concerned about identity theft, so this can signify that. But it also works to suggest somebodys involvement in something. His [fingerprint emoji] is all over it.The SplatterModern art or a mess? You decide. Can also be used to suggest a collapse of some kind.Root Vegetable And Leafless TreeRoot vegetable and leafless tree: very Waiting for Godot.EmojipediaThe first looks like a radish to me and the second suggests a dead tree in a barren landscape. Oddly, both a tree and a radish are mentioned in Waiting For Godot, so maybe theres a Beckettian overlay here. Samuel Beckett was Irish, of course,so the next new offering may have resonance, too.The Harp And The ShovelHarp and ShovelEmojipediaTwo utilitarian images, both useful in their own ways, ready to be employed literally or figuratively. He needs to clear his [Splatter emoji] up soon [Shovel emoji]. The harp is a great Irish symbol so it may be adopted widely in Ireland as soon as its released.Sark FlagSark, the jewel of the Channel IslandsEmojipediaFinally, theres a flag. Its for the island of Sark, part of the Channel Islands. Its the setting for Mervyn Peakes brilliant novel Mr Pye and to this day its illegal to drive a car there. Tractors, bicycles and horse-drawn vehicles only. Perhaps the subtlest way to suggest someone is a bit behind the times.

combating cancer New research shows bigger animals get more cancer, defying decades-oldbelief Larger species face higher cancer risks but those that reached that size rapidly evolved mitigating mechanisms. Joanna Baker, The Conversation Mar 8, 2025 7:20 am | 2 A tuskless elephant in Mozambique. Credit: iStock / Getty Images A tuskless elephant in Mozambique. Credit: iStock / Getty Images Story textSizeSmallStandardLargeWidth *StandardWideLinksStandardOrange* Subscribers only Learn moreA longstanding scientific belief about a link between cancer prevalence and animal body size has tested for the first time in our new study ranging across hundreds of animal species.If larger animals have more cells, and cancer comes from cells going rogue, then the largest animals on Earthlike elephants and whalesshould be riddled with tumours. Yet, for decades, there has been little evidence to support this idea.Many species seem to defy this expectation entirely. For example, budgies are notorious among pet owners for being prone to renal cancer despite weighing only 35 g. Yet cancer only accounts for around 2 percent of mortality among roe deer (up to 35 kg).Petos paradox is that bigger, longer-lived species should have higher cancer prevalence, yet they dont seem to. Back in 1977, Professor Sir Richard Peto noted that, on a cell-by-cell basis, mice seem to have much higher susceptibility to cancer than humans. This has led to speculation that larger species must have evolved natural cancer defenses.Several examples of these cancer defenses have since been identified. For example, Asian elephants, a species with notably low cancer prevalence, have over 20 copies of a tumour suppressor gene (TP53) compared to our own lone copy. However, scientists are yet to find broader evidence across a range of animal species.Our new study challenges Petos paradox. We used a recently compiled dataset of cancer prevalence in over 260 species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles from wildlife institutions. Then, using powerful modern statistical techniques, we compared cancer prevalence between the animals. Large species have a much greater risk of getting cancer (solid line), but faster evolution rates reduce that risk (dashed line). Credit: Jo Baker and George Butler We found that larger species do, in fact, have more cancer compared to smaller ones. This holds across all four major vertebrate groups, meaning that the traditional interpretation of Petos paradox doesnt hold up. But the story doesnt end there.At first look, our findings seemed to be at odds with another long-standing scientific idea. Copes rule is that evolution has repeatedly favored larger body sizes, because of advantages like improved predation and resilience. But why would natural selection drive species toward a trait that carries an inherent risk of cancer?The answer lies in how quickly body size evolves. We found that birds and mammals that reached large sizes more rapidly have reduced cancer prevalence. For example, the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis evolved to reach its large body sizealong with most other whales and dolphins (referred to as cetaceans) about three times faster than other mammals. However, cetaceans tend to have less cancer than expected.Larger species face higher cancer risks but those that reached that size rapidly evolved mechanisms for mitigating it, such as lower mutation rates or enhanced DNA repair mechanisms. So rather than contradicting Copes rule, our findings refine it.Larger bodies often evolve, but not as quickly in groups where the burden of cancer is higher. This means that the threat of cancer may have shaped the pace of evolution.Humans evolved to our current body size relatively rapidly. Based on this, we would expect humans and bats to have similar cancer prevalence, because we evolved at a much, much faster rate. However, it is important to note that our results cant explain the actual prevalence of cancer in humans. Nor is that an easy statistic to estimate.Human cancer is a complicated story to unravel, with a plethora of types and many factors affecting its prevalence. For example, many humans not only have access to modern medicine but also varied lifestyles that affect cancer risk. For this reason, we did not include humans in our analysis.Fighting cancerUnderstanding how species naturally evolve cancer defences has important implications for human medicine. The naked mole rat, for example, is studied for its exceptionally low cancer prevalence in the hopes of uncovering new ways to prevent or treat cancer in humans. Only a few cancer cases have ever been observed in captive mole rats, so the exact mechanisms of their cancer resistance remain mostly a mystery.At the same time, our findings raise new questions. Although birds and mammals that evolved quickly seem to have stronger anti-cancer mechanisms, amphibians and reptiles didnt show the same pattern. Larger species had higher cancer prevalence regardless of how quickly they evolved. This could be due to differences in their regenerative abilities. Some amphibians, like salamanders, can regenerate entire limbsa process that involves lots of cell division, which cancer could exploit.Putting cancer into an evolutionary context allowed us to reveal that its prevalence does increase with body size. Studying this evolutionary arms race may unlock new insights into how nature fights cancerand how we might do the same.Joanna Baker, Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Biology, University of Reading and George Butler, Career Development Fellow in Cancer Evolution, UCL.
