Polestar aims to shake off EV doldrums with 4 new models in 3 years

Polestar says it will release four new electric models over the next three years, including a new SUV and a revamped version of its Polestar 2 sedan. The Swedish automaker, which is owned by China's Geely, said it will start delivering its Polestar 5 grand tourer to customers this summer, followed by a new long-roof variant of its Polestar 4 in the fourth quarter.

Microsoft is bringing a built-in network speed test to Windows 11

Ken Watanabe didn’t think a kabuki movie would work

A three-hour-long period drama about kabuki, a centuries-old form of Japanese theater, doesn't exactly sound like box office gold. But that's exactly what happened with Kokuho. Director Lee Sang-il's adaptation of the Shuichi Yoshida novel of the same name was a surprise hit last year, becoming Japan's top-grossing live-action film domestically. But star Ken Watanabe - a veteran actor known for Hollywood movies like Inception and Detective Pikachu - initially didn't think it was a good idea. He

Are Elon Musk’s Mars plans finally coming back down to Earth?

Maybe you've heard, but Elon Musk is apparently a Moon fan now. He has historically been the ultimate cheerleader for human missions to Mars, and as recently as last year, he said his aim was to go straight to the red planet and that the Moon was "a distraction." Now, he has apparently changed his mind, announcing that SpaceX has shifted focus to building a city on the Moon. Within the space science community, this news about the Moon has largely been met with eye rolls, primarily because so man

Audible syncs ebook reading and audiobook listening to keep you focused

On Wednesday, Audible launched a new "immersion reading" feature that could help readers concentrate on their audiobooks by allowing them to read along with the ebook version. While listening to an audiobook in the Audible app, users can tap the "Read & Listen" button above their book's cover art to see the text version of what they're listening to. As the audio plays, the text is highlighted in sync. The option to read and listen at the same time could help improve reading comprehension for re

Show HN: Trust Protocols for Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini

Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integ
