• Every Main Naruto Character's Age, Height, And Birthday

    Naruto's legacy is unshakable by this point. In 1999, Masashi Kishimoto's manga debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump, where it went on to last for roughly 15 years. The original story came to an end in 2014, producing 72 volumes and 700 chapters in the process. Describing the manga as a success would be a huge understatement, and it eventually became one of the big three shonen stories alongside One Piece and Bleach. Less than two years after Naruto's conclusion, a sequel manga called Boruto started to be published, and it is still going strong nearly a decade later. Combining these two, this shonen franchise has consistently produced high-quality content for 25 years.

  • The rollout of facial recognition tools to ICE officers' phones is an absolute disgrace! This blatant invasion of privacy is a step towards an authoritarian surveillance state, where our every move is monitored and recorded. How dare they empower these officers with technology that can misidentify, discriminate, and abuse power at will? The fact that US feds are busy charging "masterminds" behind forums while ignoring the real threat of overreach from their own agencies is infuriating! We must demand accountability and transparency, or we risk losing our freedoms to an ever-encroaching police state. Enough is enough!

  • Fancy airplane seats have officially reached their peak! I mean, what’s next? A personal butler serving caviar at 30,000 feet? With business and upper-class cabins looking more like luxurious hotel suites than actual airplane seats, I can't help but wonder where the airlines will go from here. Maybe they’ll build penthouses in the sky—complete with balconies for “fresh air.” Soon, we'll need a boarding pass just to step into our oversized living rooms among the clouds. Who knew flying could turn into a competition for the best in-flight real estate?

    Fancy Airplane Seats Have Nowhere Left to Go—So What Now?
    Upper and business class cabins have expanded to the point where the top tier resemble hotel suites more than passenger pods. But what happens now airlines have no more room to offer?

  • NVIDIA Scores Consecutive Win for End-to-End Autonomous Driving Grand Challenge at CVPR

    NVIDIA was today named an Autonomous Grand Challenge winner at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognitionconference, held this week in Nashville, Tennessee. The announcement was made at the Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Systems on the Horizon Workshop.
    This marks the second consecutive year that NVIDIA’s topped the leaderboard in the End-to-End Driving at Scale category and the third year in a row winning an Autonomous Grand Challenge award at CVPR.
    The theme of this year’s challenge was “Towards Generalizable Embodied Systems” — based on NAVSIM v2, a data-driven, nonreactive autonomous vehiclesimulation framework.
    The challenge offered researchers the opportunity to explore ways to handle unexpected situations, beyond using only real-world human driving data, to accelerate the development of smarter, safer AVs.
    Generating Safe and Adaptive Driving Trajectories
    Participants of the challenge were tasked with generating driving trajectories from multi-sensor data in a semi-reactive simulation, where the ego vehicle’s plan is fixed at the start, but background traffic changes dynamically.
    Submissions were evaluated using the Extended Predictive Driver Model Score, which measures safety, comfort, compliance and generalization across real-world and synthetic scenarios — pushing the boundaries of robust and generalizable autonomous driving research.
    The NVIDIA AV Applied Research Team’s key innovation was the Generalized Trajectory Scoringmethod, which generates a variety of trajectories and progressively filters out the best one.
    GTRS model architecture showing a unified system for generating and scoring diverse driving trajectories using diffusion- and vocabulary-based trajectories.
    GTRS introduces a combination of coarse sets of trajectories covering a wide range of situations and fine-grained trajectories for safety-critical situations, created using a diffusion policy conditioned on the environment. GTRS then uses a transformer decoder distilled from perception-dependent metrics, focusing on safety, comfort and traffic rule compliance. This decoder progressively filters out the most promising trajectory candidates by capturing subtle but critical differences between similar trajectories.
    This system has proved to generalize well to a wide range of scenarios, achieving state-of-the-art results on challenging benchmarks and enabling robust, adaptive trajectory selection in diverse and challenging driving conditions.

    NVIDIA Automotive Research at CVPR 
    More than 60 NVIDIA papers were accepted for CVPR 2025, spanning automotive, healthcare, robotics and more.
    In automotive, NVIDIA researchers are advancing physical AI with innovation in perception, planning and data generation. This year, three NVIDIA papers were nominated for the Best Paper Award: FoundationStereo, Zero-Shot Monocular Scene Flow and Difix3D+.

  • A Really Fun Game Is Leaving Steam Soon But Costs Less Than $1 Right Now

    A really cool parkour game is being delisted from Steam on June 30, but you still have a chance to grab it for dirt cheap. Supermoves: World of Parkour is on sale right now for just ahead of its removal next week.Despite being a blast to play, Supermoves has had a bit of a tragic life following its release last year. Based on both critical and Steam review response, Supermoves is a blast, combining Mirror's Edge-inspired freerunning with some cool multiplayer modes. However, the game did not sell particularly well, and developer Makea Games was forced to shut down back in April. Tomi Toikka, the founder and former CEO of Makea Games, stated that he has been in negotiations to try to retain control over the Supermoves IP, but to no avail. As he shared in a final update announcing the delisting, Makea's financing structure apparently prohibits any path for Toikka to keep the game on sale. He wrote, "After shutting down Makea Games, I had hoped I could salvage the game IP to be preserved in another game company, so players could still play the game they own online, and maybe it could see a resurgence in new players one day. But sometimes the cost of doing business is losing something you love."Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • The Best Teams In EA Sports College Football 26, According To EA

    Who are the best teams in College Football 26? You don't have to wonder anymore, as the publisher has revealed the answer.EA Sports' College Football series came soaring back last year, following a hiatus of more than a decade. It became the best-selling sports game of all time, surpassing a record previously held by a COVID-era NBA 2K entry. This year's game is coming soon, and EA is surely hoping to keep its winning streak going.With just a few weeks separating players from the launch of the game, which is even sooner if you preorder, today the publisher has unveiled the game's 10 best teams.Naturally, the list is full of some major programs, though you'll notice they're all of a similar stature, as a few schools have built up major contenders that now stand toe to toe with the legacy giants of the sport.A list like this is partly meant to generate hype, but EA surely knows it'll also unavoidably lead to controversy even when the rankings are determined in good faith. Don't ever let reasonable arguments come between you and your favorite sports teams, right?With that in mind, take a look at the best teams in College Football 26, including several from the Lone Star State, the defending champions, and all four teams from last year's semi-finals. 1. Alabama - 89 OVR 2. Texas - 88 OVR 3. Ohio State - 88 OVR 4. Penn State - 88 OVR 5. Notre Dame - 88 OVR 6. Georgia - 88 OVR 7. Clemson - 88 OVR 8. Texas A&M - 88 OVR 9. Oregon - 86 OVR 10.

  • Riot Will Allow Sports-Betting Sponsorships For League Of Legends Esports Teams

    Riot Games has announced that it will begin officially sanctioning sports-betting sponsorships for esports teams in its Tier 1 League of Legends and Valorant leagues. While the company states that it still won't allow advertisements in its official broadcasts, teams themselves will be able to take money from sports-betting companies for advertising through their own channels.In a blog post, President of Publishing and Esports John Needham writes that the move is designed to take advantage of the rapidly growing sports-betting industry and to make esports-related betting more regulated. Seemingly to address concerns and head off potential criticism, Needham explains that the company is authorizing sports-betting sponsorships under a "guardrails first" strategy.These "guardrails," Needham states, are essentially the rules by which any sponsorship must be executed. First, sports-betting companies need to be vetted and approved by Riot itself, although the company has not shared the criteria on which this vetting is done. Second, to ensure that sports-betting companies are on a level playing field, Riot is mandating that official partners all use GRID, the officially sanctioned data platform for League of Legends and Valorant. Third, esports teams must launch and maintain internal integrity programs to protect against violations of league rules due to the influence of sports betting. Fourth and last, Riot will use some of the revenue from these sponsorships to support its Tier 2esports leagues.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • NVIDIA and Partners Highlight Next-Generation Robotics, Automation and AI Technologies at Automatica

    From the heart of Germany’s automotive sector to manufacturing hubs across France and Italy, Europe is embracing industrial AI and advanced AI-powered robotics to address labor shortages, boost productivity and fuel sustainable economic growth.
    Robotics companies are developing humanoid robots and collaborative systems that integrate AI into real-world manufacturing applications. Supported by a billion investment initiative and coordinated efforts from the European Commission, Europe is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of industrial automation, powered by AI.
    This momentum is on full display at Automatica — Europe’s premier conference on advancements in robotics, machine vision and intelligent manufacturing — taking place this week in Munich, Germany.
    NVIDIA and its ecosystem of partners and customers are showcasing next-generation robots, automation and AI technologies designed to accelerate the continent’s leadership in smart manufacturing and logistics.
    NVIDIA Technologies Boost Robotics Development 
    Central to advancing robotics development is Europe’s first industrial AI cloud, announced at NVIDIA GTC Paris at VivaTech earlier this month. The Germany-based AI factory, featuring 10,000 NVIDIA GPUs, provides European manufacturers with secure, sovereign and centralized AI infrastructure for industrial workloads. It will support applications ranging from design and engineering to factory digital twins and robotics.
    To help accelerate humanoid development, NVIDIA released NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5 — an open foundation model for humanoid robot reasoning and skills. This update enhances the model’s adaptability and ability to follow instructions, significantly improving its performance in material handling and manufacturing tasks.
    To help post-train GR00T N1.5, NVIDIA has also released the Isaac GR00T-Dreams blueprint — a reference workflow for generating vast amounts of synthetic trajectory data from a small number of human demonstrations — enabling robots to generalize across behaviors and adapt to new environments with minimal human demonstration data.
    In addition, early developer previews of NVIDIA Isaac Sim 5.0 and Isaac Lab 2.2 — open-source robot simulation and learning frameworks optimized for NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 workstations — are now available on GitHub.

  • Into the Omniverse: World Foundation Models Advance Autonomous Vehicle Simulation and Safety

    Editor’s note: This blog is a part of Into the Omniverse, a series focused on how developers, 3D practitioners and enterprises can transform their workflows using the latest advances in OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse.
    Simulated driving environments enable engineers to safely and efficiently train, test and validate autonomous vehiclesacross countless real-world and edge-case scenarios without the risks and costs of physical testing.
    These simulated environments can be created through neural reconstruction of real-world data from AV fleets or generated with world foundation models— neural networks that understand physics and real-world properties. WFMs can be used to generate synthetic datasets for enhanced AV simulation.
    To help physical AI developers build such simulated environments, NVIDIA unveiled major advances in WFMs at the GTC Paris and CVPR conferences earlier this month. These new capabilities enhance NVIDIA Cosmos — a platform of generative WFMs, advanced tokenizers, guardrails and accelerated data processing tools.
    Key innovations like Cosmos Predict-2, the Cosmos Transfer-1 NVIDIA preview NIM microservice and Cosmos Reason are improving how AV developers generate synthetic data, build realistic simulated environments and validate safety systems at unprecedented scale.
    Universal Scene Description, a unified data framework and standard for physical AI applications, enables seamless integration and interoperability of simulation assets across the development pipeline. OpenUSD standardization plays a critical role in ensuring 3D pipelines are built to scale.
    NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform of application programming interfaces, software development kits and services for building OpenUSD-based physical AI applications, enables simulations from WFMs and neural reconstruction at world scale.
    Leading AV organizations — including Foretellix, Mcity, Oxa, Parallel Domain, Plus AI and Uber — are among the first to adopt Cosmos models.

    Foundations for Scalable, Realistic Simulation
    Cosmos Predict-2, NVIDIA’s latest WFM, generates high-quality synthetic data by predicting future world states from multimodal inputs like text, images and video. This capability is critical for creating temporally consistent, realistic scenarios that accelerate training and validation of AVs and robots.

    In addition, Cosmos Transfer, a control model that adds variations in weather, lighting and terrain to existing scenarios, will soon be available to 150,000 developers on CARLA, a leading open-source AV simulator. This greatly expands the broad AV developer community’s access to advanced AI-powered simulation tools.
    Developers can start integrating synthetic data into their own pipelines using the NVIDIA Physical AI Dataset. The latest release includes 40,000 clips generated using Cosmos.
    Building on these foundations, the Omniverse Blueprint for AV simulation provides a standardized, API-driven workflow for constructing rich digital twins, replaying real-world sensor data and generating new ground-truth data for closed-loop testing.
    The blueprint taps into OpenUSD’s layer-stacking and composition arcs, which enable developers to collaborate asynchronously and modify scenes nondestructively. This helps create modular, reusable scenario variants to efficiently generate different weather conditions, traffic patterns and edge cases.
    Driving the Future of AV Safety
    To bolster the operational safety of AV systems, NVIDIA earlier this year introduced NVIDIA Halos — a comprehensive safety platform that integrates the company’s full automotive hardware and software stack with AI research focused on AV safety.
    The new Cosmos models — Cosmos Predict- 2, Cosmos Transfer- 1 NIM and Cosmos Reason — deliver further safety enhancements to the Halos platform, enabling developers to create diverse, controllable and realistic scenarios for training and validating AV systems.
    These models, trained on massive multimodal datasets including driving data, amplify the breadth and depth of simulation, allowing for robust scenario coverage — including rare and safety-critical events — while supporting post-training customization for specialized AV tasks.

    At CVPR, NVIDIA was recognized as an Autonomous Grand Challenge winner, highlighting its leadership in advancing end-to-end AV workflows. The challenge used OpenUSD’s robust metadata and interoperability to simulate sensor inputs and vehicle trajectories in semi-reactive environments, achieving state-of-the-art results in safety and compliance.
