Two decades on, its influence still lingers, marking a moment when gaming felt thrillingly new again • Don’t get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up here Almost 20 years ago (on 1 December 2005, to be precise), I was at my very first video game console launch party somewhere around London’s Leicester Square. […]

It’s always crushing when a wildly anticipated game turns out to be a dud, but this RPG’s awful story and clunky dialogue gave my son and I something to talk about It was an exciting November for the Diamond household: one of those rare games that we all loved had a sequel coming out! The

The Vivo X300 series launches in India on December 2 with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip. The phone will feature 200MP cameras and also pack in support for a teleconverter kit.
DeepSomatic is an AI-powered tool that identifies cancer-related mutations in a tumor’s genetic sequence to help pinpoint what’s driving the cancer. Cancer is fundamentally a genetic disease in which the genetic controls on cell division go awry. Many types of cancer exist, and each poses unique challenges as it can have distinct genetic underpinnings. A

Natural Forests of the World 2020 is an AI-powered map that distinguishes natural forests from other tree cover. This critical baseline helps governments, companies, and communities meet deforestation-free goals and protect ecosystems. Forests are vital for our planet as they regulate rainfall, mitigate floods, store and sequester carbon, and help sustain the majority of the planet’s
We present LAVA, a new scheduling algorithm that continuously re-predicts and adapts to the actual lifetimes of virtual machines to optimize resource efficiency in large cloud data centers. Imagine a puzzle game similar to Tetris with pieces rapidly falling onto a stack. Some fit perfectly. Others don’t. The goal is to pack the blocks as

We introduce a novel implementation of generative UI, enabling AI models to create immersive experiences and interactive tools and simulations, all generated completely on the fly for any prompt. This is now rolling out in the Gemini app and Google Search, starting with AI Mode. Generative UI is a powerful capability in which an AI

In a publication in Nature Astronomy, we show how Google’s Gemini model can be transformed into an expert astronomy assistant that classifies cosmic events with high accuracy and explains its reasoning in plain language, achieving 93% accuracy across three datasets by learning from just 15 annotated examples per survey. Modern astronomy is a treasure hunt

We introduce a method for generating differentially private synthetic photo albums that uses an intermediate text representation and produces the albums in a hierarchical fashion. Differential privacy (DP) provides a powerful, mathematically rigorous assurance that sensitive individual information in a dataset remains protected, even when a dataset is used for analysis. Since DP’s inception nearly two decades
