Obsession is the wildest story out of Hollywood in some time, destined to make at least 100x its paltry budget, its director, Curry Barker, being offered $10 million for his next, unpitched film, and its star, Inde Navarrette, garnering serious awards buzz for her unhinged role in the film.Now, Obsession’s Navarrette is obviously going to be in hot demand, and while we don’t know her next moves, she has revealed a specific role that she wants to land, and that’s in a fantasy series headed to Amazon:“If I had to pick a specific role that I’ve secretly been keeping my…

A first-of-its-kind drug for hepatitis B is letting some patients stop treatment without showing signs of the dangerous liver virus, what’s called a “functional cure,” researchers reported Thursday.In two international studies, about 1 in 5 patients given the experimental drug saw their virus reduced to levels low enough for the immune system to keep in check.“We have not had a treatment which has come to this level of cure,” Dr. Seng Gee Lim of the National University Health System of Singapore, who helped lead the GSK-funded studies, told reporters before presenting the findings at a scientific meeting in Barcelona, Spain.The…

Paul Deraval, Cofounder & CEO of NinjaCat, is a software veteran with 20+ years driving innovation in martech, AI and agency growth.​Building and experimenting with AI has changed how I think in ways I never expected. Not simply how I approach technology issues, but regarding work, leadership and what it actually means to solve a problem.At first, like most people, I treated AI as a tool. Something to layer into existing workflows to make them faster, cheaper or more convenient. But that framing breaks down quickly. The moment you start working closely with AI agents, you realize that the real…

Published May 28, 2026 03:20AMTen years ago, I started road tripping in a 1976 Toyota Chinook. After the motor blew up, I got into a 1978 Toyota Sunline and unfortunately that didn’t last long, either. My love of old vehicles (and hatred of carburetors) eventually gave way to more practical and reliable camper vans. For the last eight years, I’ve traveled in a couple of different vans.If I could hit rewind, though, I’d rent before buying. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and money. And with summer upon us, there’s never been a better time to rent…

For years, the smart ring has been pitched as a piece of jewelry that happens to read your sleep stages, your heart rate variability, and your blood oxygen. In reality, though, most smart rings are chunkier than anything you would pick at a jewelry store—something that many consumers find annoying. Oura, the Finnish-founded, San Francisco-based company that helped invent the category over the past 12 years, has heard the complaint from its own customers repeatedly. “The feedback we always hear is, ‘We love the power and insights of the ring, but can you make it smaller?’” said Lindsey Belknap, Oura’s…

Dustin Johnson is the CTO at Seeq, responsible for the advanced technology infrastructure, vision and roadmap of Seeq software solutions.​Industrial organizations today are drowning in data yet starving for actionable decisions. Sensor streams, maintenance logs, lab results and operator notes sit in disconnected systems and dashboards, while the practical know-how to interpret them is scattered across people’s heads, reports and emails. As veteran engineers and subject matter experts retire, teams simultaneously struggle to connect siloed, multimodal data into a coherent picture of what happened and why. The result: critical decisions are delayed, second-guessed or never made at all. The impact…
