An apparent drone Steve Harvey projection in Atlanta's sky went super viral

It'd be pretty shocking to look up into the night sky and see a glowing visage of Steve Harvey. Yet that is apparently what happened for some folks in Atlanta. Obviously the internet, in turn, loved it.

The whole thing started with a tweet from Andscape senior writer David Dennis Jr.

"There’s a light projection of Steve Harvey over Atlanta right now and I have no clue why," Dennis Jr. tweeted, along with a photo that's now been viewed more than seven million times.

Now, let's be clear, Mashable has not yet been able to officially confirm this light show featuring a glowing Steve Harvey actually occurred on Friday night. The image from Dennis Jr. appears to be the only one that's made its way to the wider internet.

Though it does seem likely real, for a few reasons. One: Dennis Jr. is a journalist at a respected outlet and this would be a super strange thing on which to waste one's reputation. Two: The sleuths at Reddit noted there was an event called Invest Fest in Atlanta this weekend that featured Harvey as a speaker. And three: Posts from Invest Fest show a drone presentation, though nothing featuring the image of Harvey.

Regardless of the authenticity, the internet had some great jokes.

So there was (maybe) a massive electric Steve Harvey in the Atlanta sky thanks to drones. You can say a lot about living in the future — good and bad — but it sure is weird.

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

Mystery Pixel smartphones detailed in code references

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
