A Battersea Park, à Londres, le 31 mai 2025. JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP Marche rapide, jogging, musculation… Quelle que soit l’activité physique choisie, elle constitue l’un des leviers les plus efficaces pour préserver la santé et allonger l’espérance de vie. Un message martelé depuis des années dans cette chronique… qu’une nouvelle étude vient de confirmer. Des chercheurs de l’école de santé publique de Harvard T. H. Chan (Boston) ont analysé les données de deux vastes cohortes américaines de professionnels de santé, la « Nurses’ Health Study » (70 725 femmes) et la « Health Professionals Follow-Up Study » (40 742 hommes). Tous étaient initialement en bonne santé et ont été suivis pendant environ trente ans. Les participants renseigna...

HBO is developing a Baldur’s Gate TV show that will continue the story of Larian Studios’ hit RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, according to Deadline. The Last Of Us co-creator Craig Mazin will serve as the show’s creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner.While it’s set to feature new protagonists, the plan is for existing characters from the game to return, and Mazin plans to reach out to cast members from Baldur’s Gate 3 with “ideas for them to participate in the TV adaptation and ways that would make that possible,” Deadline says. (I hope the whole main cast returns because they’re all so great.)It’s unclear when this new Baldur’s Gate series might debut. Larian isn’t involved in the series, Geoff Keighley reports.“After putting nearly 1000 hours into the incredible world of Baldur’s Ga...

Each TV company has its own distinct personality and direction. These change over the years, with new technological breakthroughs or at least new business deals. New aspirations shake up the natural order. This year, for example, nearly every company has decided to make and heavily promote RGB LED TVs. Some of them, like Hisense, seem like they’re doing it because they want to. LG’s making one too, but it’s clear the company’s heart still lies with OLEDs. Are RGB LED TVs the next big thing? Who knows!2026 is only a few weeks old, but we’re already seeing those personalities and how the choices each manufacturer makes can affect the year ahead, both for themselves and for their competitors. Here’s where things stand at the beginning of 2026. Who knows where we’ll be at the end of it?The ...

After rolling out age verification last year, Roblox is aiming to grow the number of players over 18 on its platform. As noted in its 2025 year-end earnings report, 45 percent of Roblox’s daily active users have completed an age check as of January 31st. Of those who have verified their age, 27 percent are adults. Roblox also reported that this age category is spending more money on its platform than users under 18.Roblox is planning to try to pull in more adult players by expanding certain “high-fidelity” genres on its platform, as the earnings report notes: “We are prioritizing some of the largest and highest-monetizing genres in the gaming market—e.g. Shooters, RPGs, and Sports & Racing.” Roblox is also putting more emphasis on performance and graphics quality as part of its push...

Boris Cherny gets recognized in public relatively often. At the bar, at the airport, and in generally any public space, people want to take selfies with the creator and head of Claude Code.For the last couple of months, Anthropic’s Claude and its coding platform have been having a moment — on social media, in engineers’ circles, and in C-suite offices. Claude Code reached newfound popularity over the holidays, when people spent days or weeks building anything from a tool for viewing MRI results to a Goodreads alternative to an AI-generated T-shirt design contest with a complex judicial system. X posts in January proclaimed that “we are witnessing an irreversible trend” of Anthropic “taking the lead” from OpenAI, asking what Anthropic had possibly “put into” the model to make it so capab...

Anthropic’s “smartest model” is getting a major boost, the company said in a blog post announcing Claude Opus 4.6.It called the new model a “direct upgrade” from its predecessor in a release, noting that it can better take on complex, multi-step tasks and get “much closer to production-ready quality on the first try than what we’ve seen with any model — documents, spreadsheets, and presentations will need less back-and-forth on iterations.” It’s available starting today with the same pricing as its predecessor, and according to the company, its particular strengths are in agentic coding, tool use, search, and financial analysis.But most of all, it seems that with this release, Anthropic wants to expand Claude’s current hype beyond just coding and corner the market on other types of know...

When Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos entered the Senate office building on Tuesday, he got thrown a curveball. What started as a standard antitrust hearing relating to the Warner Bros. merger quickly devolved into a performative Republican attack about the spread of “woke” ideology on the streaming service. At the same time, arguably a much more influential platform was completely ignored: YouTube.After grilling Sarandos about residual payments, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) launched into a completely different line of questioning: “Why is it that so much of Netflix content for children promotes a transgender ideology?” Hawley asked, making an unsubstantiated claim that “almost half” of the platform’s children’s content contains so-called “transgender ideology.” The statement harkened to a pressu...

As a movie, Iron Lung is occasionally thrilling but mostly forgettable. It’s a small-budget horror flick that has some cool ideas and pulls them off in an extremely efficient way, creating a sense of tension that unfortunately never turns into outright scares. But the most important thing about it is what it represents. At a time when movie theaters are dominated by only the biggest blockbusters and smaller films are trying to forge their own paths, Iron Lung managed to make more than $20 million at the box office without the backing of a major studio. All it took was a lot of help from YouTube.The circumstances around Iron Lung aren’t exactly easy to replicate. It’s an adaptation of an 2022 indie horror game developed by solo creator David Szymanski, and it’s written, directed, and exe...

One day after The Wall Street Journal published a blockbuster story about Meta’s own dismal findings about teen girls’ mental health on Instagram, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wondered whether Meta should change how it studies its platforms’ potential harms.“Recent events have made me consider whether we should change our approach to research and analytics around social issues,” Zuckerberg wrote in a September 15th, 2021, email to top executives including then-COO Sheryl Sandberg and head of global affairs Nick Clegg. The day before, the Journal published a story based on documents obtained from a whistleblower later revealed to be Frances Haugen, which showed the company’s own research had found that “Thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram ma...
