«Для всего мира он был актером, удостоенным премии "Оскар", режиссером, рассказчиком.

Для меня он был просто всем.

Его страсть к своему делу могла сравниться только с его глубокой любовью к персонажам, вкусной еде и умению общаться с людьми», — говорится в заявлении супруги.

И вот однажды он пришел ко мне домой — обсуждать мое участие в третьем «Крестном отце».

Я записал для него этот рецепт, но от роли решил отказаться.

Если бы они решили заплатить Аль Пачино вдвое больше, чем мне — это еще куда бы ни шло.

Нет, это чересчур... Но когда Коппола уезжал от меня, он забыл рецепт на столе.

А потом он еще целую неделю названивал — но не из-за роли, а из-за рецепта.

Сожжение чучела Масленицы в виде персонажей из поп-культуры — традиция парка.

В прошлом году на Масленицу в парке Аргамач сожгли пятерых «злодеев», а именно Волан-де-Морта, Венома, Фредди Крюгера и Хагги Вагги и Белого ходока.

Даже если заподозрить платформы в подтасовках оценок и накрутках, бесспорным остается промежуточный финансовый результат картины: при бюджете $80 млн она за первый уик-энд уже заработала в мировом прокате $82 млн.

То есть полностью окупилась и уверенно движется к тому, чтобы выйти в чистую внушительную прибыль, даже с учетом того, что во вторую и в дальнейшие недели проката сборы пойдут на спад.

Не менее удачно складывается и социальная жизнь проекта: новый «Грозовой перевал» активно обсуждают в соцсетях, которые заполонили ролики с просмотра картины в кинотеатре в компании подруг и друзей.

А Марго Робби, обкатав эту успешную схему промо еще в разгар кампейна «Барби», вновь делает ставку на…

Хозяйка Кокоса и Холли, ведущая блог под ником @holly_doggy_jrt, сняла несколько роликов со своими питомцами на тему «Гарри Поттера».

Она сняла Кокоса и Холли в костюмах персонажей — в небольших париках, мантиях, галстуках, очках — и наложила на кадры с животными голоса актеров.

Чтобы помочь Панчу избавиться от тревоги, смотрители дали ему мягкую игрушку орангутана.

С тех пор детеныш и его игрушка стали неразлучны: Панч обнимает орангутана во сне и носит его с собой повсюду в течение дня.

djcows часто выкладывал посты в X, во многих из которых он писал о достижениях Маска.

14 февраля пользователь поделился карандашным портретом бизнесмена и написал: «Надеюсь, однажды Илон увидит мой рисунок».

В то же время министр науки, инноваций и технологий Лиз Кендалл рассказала о беспокойстве общественных организаций, вызванных обсуждениями законопроекта: «Есть организации, включая NSPCC, Molly Rose Foundation и Internet Watch Foundation, которые обеспокоены тем, что запрет не решит проблему, поскольку лишь вытеснит часть этого контента глубже — в даркнет.

Все это время у Олега не было денег на покупку еды, ему также негде было ночевать.

Спустя три мужчина решил отправиться в аэропорт, чтобы поспать в тепле.

Там, по его словам, у него возник план добиться ареста ради бесплатной еды и места проживания.

Джеффри Эпштейн был задержан в июле 2019 года по обвинению в торговле людьми c целью сексуальной эксплуатации.

По версии прокуратуры, в 2002–2005 годах он организовал широкую сеть по оказанию секс-услуг, куда заманивал несовершеннолетних девушек, многим из которых не было и 14 лет.

Миллиардер не признавал вину.

10 августа, спустя месяц после ареста, он покончил с собой в тюрьме в Нью-Йорке.

В общей сложности за время исследования болезнь Альцгеймера развилась у 551 респондента, а у 719 — легкие когнитивные нарушения.

Результаты исследования были опубликованы в журнале Neurology.

Среди людей с высоким уровнем интеллектуального обогащения заболели Альцгеймером 21%, а среди тех, у кого когнитивная нагрузка была низкой, ― 34%.

Кроме того, в первой группе болезнь развилась в среднем в 94 года, а во второй ― в 88.

«Мы только начали поиски первого официального дегустатора наггетсов, и когда увидели ролик с Рори, нам это показалось идеальным совпадением.

Его любовь к наггетсам по-настоящему задела за живое людей во всей Великобритании.

Мы рады вернуть ему украденный наггетс в десятикратном размере», — прокомментировала коммерческий директор Aldi UK Джули Эшфилд.

В прошлом году я отметил юбилей: двадцать лет в профессии разработчика ПО.

Наш преподаватель рассказал, что при сбросе микропроцессора 8086 исполнение начинается с того, что в CS:IP записывается значение FFFF:0000.

Он всё равно оказывался в верхних строчках, иногда даже в десятке лучших, но не нарушал своего обещания и не становился лучшим.

В день собеседования менеджер по найму позвонил мне по стационарному телефону в офисе.

10 января 2026 года мама заказала на Wildberries (привет вам Wildberries & Russ и вам @wildberries_tech, ну и вам @WILDBERRIES) БАДы и по мелочи и выбрала оплату при получении.

Если ООО «Престо» — это мой агент, который оплатил товар за меня, то магазин (WB) должен был получить деньги сразу.

Представители WB (приветы вам ещё раз @wildberries_tech) могут утверждать, что сейчас они технически не могут видеть самозапрет, потому что «это не кредит».

В двух демках одновременно и на одной и той же демопати Assembly'93, первопроходцы PC-демосцены Future Crew и амижники The Silents представили народу полноэкранный и плавный "ротозумер" в DOS-демках Second Reality и Optic Nerve.

В том же 1993 году, но в декабре, данный эффект продемонстрировали демки legend от Impact Studios и Assembler Instinct от Gollum.

Представьте, что на дворе эдак 93-й год, а вы простой студент, увлекающийся программированием, а вовсе не инженер из Silicon Graphics.

Но не в случае с растровыми эффектами.

Чтобы было яснее представим что мы вращаем вокруг нулевой точки координат, тогда выражение выглядит как Tcos*x. А "х" ведь растет линейно.

Зато в ГДР производились электрогитары Musima, а в Чехословакии — Jolana, и это были приличные инструменты, которые рядовой любитель музыки вполне мог приобрести, если действительно поставил перед собой такую цель.

Но крышка струнозацепа Iris Bass имела инновационную конструкцию и держалась не на шурупах, а на опорах, просто вставлявшихся в отверстия деки.

Накладка грифа Jolana Iris характеризуется 12-дюймовым радиусом, выполнена из красного дерева махагони и украшена маркерами в виде больших кружочков из натурального речного перламутра.

Такие же кружочки наблюдаются и на удешевлённой буковой накладке Jolana Disco.

Так как сканкоды могут поступать по различным интерфейсам, в ядре Linux для каждого из интерфейсов существует драйвер, умеющий превращать сканкод в keycode — унифицированный код для клавиш на различных устройствах.

❯ Вывод в LinuxНаверное, с первого раза понять, как работает вывод на экран в Linux очень сложно.

Можно брать различные версии ядра Linux или различные ветки в репозиториях ядра Linux, пробовать применить этот патч, собирать, экспериментировать.

Тетрис в ядре, запущенный в эмуляторе QEMUВ этом репозитории находится исходный код моего Тетриса в виде патча.

Для переработки модуля, что мы создавали в статье в Тетриса в ядре, нужно сделать малость.

Человек, впервые попавший внутрь, мог не догадаться, что находится в самолете, а не в каюте первого класса на лайнере.

Но инцидент там замяли, никаких публикаций не было, но с фиаско в Пассау начался путь Do X в музей.

В 1936 Do X перевезли в Берлин и сделали главным экспонатом нового Музея немецкой авиации на вокзале Лертер.

Летающий корабль так и не стал трансатлантическим лайнером.

Но через 10 лет полетят Boeing 314 Clipper и Martin M-130: меньше, практичнее и экономичнее.

Но вот что не давало мне покоя.

Но в том эксперименте модели жили в изоляции.

В целевой «Т» должны быть клетки типа A. В реальной — большинство A, но в центре... кластер типа B.Тип B — для сложных форм.

Нейросеть смотрит на соседей и принимает решение, которое может быть любым.

Мой эксперимент показал, что сложность возникает и из простых решений — если их принимает много агентов одновременно.

Ещё в институте я начал работать в области телекома, и с тех пор так и остался в этой отрасли, меняя роли и специфику задач.

До этого я работал в США, Китае, много лет прожил в Норвегии, так что мне стало интересно посмотреть на на жизнь в новой стране и сравнить с тем, что видел раньше.

Не смотря на то, что в городе где-то 70-80% населения живёт не в собственных, а в съемных квартирах – жилья не хватает.

Купюры в 100 и 200 франков находятся в регулярном обращении, их наличие в кошельке не является признаком участия в каких-то незаконных сделках.

Беда в том, что в местной культуре емейл – это что-то крайне непонятное.

Но оно и не надо, я читал в твиттере, что читать и понимать код — это моветон.

Я считаю, что это мышление прошлого.

Меня пока что уволили как раз из-за ИИ, потому что я стал писать код отвратительного качества, но я работаю на перспективу.

Естественно, я код не писал, а собрал его с помощью Claude Code за 3 дня.

И если завтра выйдет ещё один инструмент за 100 долларов, который обещает писать всё идеально, — я, конечно, его куплю.

Мне несказанно повезло, что я успел получить высшее образование до наступл��ния бума ChatGPT.

По истории Git видно, что я создал проектный документ («save course dsign») 30 декабря 2025 годаСвои диздоки я составляю несколько иначе.

Но я и не слепой.

Я не верю, что ИИ заберёт всю работу, и что студенты факультетов компьютерных наук сегодня получают бессмысленное образование.

Это будут те, кто умеет отлаживать сгенерированный код, когда он ломается так, что ИИ не может его починить.

Возможно, свобода воли — это иллюзия, и мы просто рационализируем процессы, которые уже запущены физико-химическими реакциями в нейронах.

Событие А ведёт к событию Б, которое порождает событие В. Это работает и для взрыва сверхновой, и для сворачивания белковой молекулы.

Хаос и иллюзия контроляКазалось бы, детерминизм — это и есть физика.

Если бы наши действия были абсолютно случайными и не имели причин, мы бы не могли нести за них ответственность.

И, возможно, само ощущение того, что мы выбираем свой путь, является необходимым механизмом, который природа выстроила поверх фундаментальных законов и квантовых вероятностей.

Это я понял, когда через пару дней работы на Sofle RGB вернулся к Lily58 Pro.

Контроллеры и новая архитектураВ проводной Lily58 используется Pro Micro с QMK — это контроллер, рассчитанный на питание и передачу данных по USB.

Это, кстати, ключевой момент: Lily58 Pro разведена под Pro Micro, и эти платы повторяют ту же посадку и шаг выводов.

Я собирал их через GitHub Actions: настроил workflow под свой конфиг и на выходе получал два готовых артефакта.

Батареи очень тонкие и легкие, спокойно помещаются внутрь корпуса сплит-клавиатуры и не требуют переделки конструкции.

Кастомный компилятор следит за файлом, тут же превращает его в байт-код и сбрасывает в бинарный файл.

То же самое происходило и с GLSL-шейдером.

Достаточно слегка смещать предыдущий кадр вверх и добавить шум — и за кораблём появляется убедительный инверсионный след.

Каждый пиксель просто проверяет расстояние до этих форм и на основе него вычисляет цвет.

Программа не освобождает память и не закрывает дескрипторы при выходе.

Это, в свою очередь, позволяет нам итеративно изменять параметры нашей нейронной сети, чтобы уменьшить значение функции потерь и, следовательно, улучшить ее прогнозы.

Она принимает на вход вектор x и матрицу весов w и вычисляет одно скалярное произведение для каждой строки .

Финальное скрытое состояние проецируется на размер словаря с помощью lm_head , создавая по одному логиту на каждый токен в словаре.

В microgpt используется Adam с простым линейным затуханием скорости обучения, и на этом всё.

По сути, это модифицированные газоразрядные трубки, работающие с ионизированным воздухом в условиях легко достижимой степени вакуума всего в несколько сотен микрон.

В качестве экрана я в ней использовал покрытое люминофором дно стеклянного флакона, который свободно в эту трубку поместился.

На выход трансформатора последовательным включением добавил отрицательное напряжение смещения 200 — 300 В, чтобы аудиосигнал мог отклонять луч как в положительную, так и в отрицательную сторону.

В ионизированном газе отклоняющая пластина действует несколько иначе, нежели в сверхвысоком вакууме, используемом в коммерческих ЭЛТ.

В случае ЭЛТ с холодным катодом я наблюдал, что при подаче на пластину отрицате…

Александр Аринг (Alexander Aring) из компании Red Hat, сопровождающий в ядре Linux подсистемы IEEE 802.15.4, DLM и flock/fcntl, представил в списке рассылки разработчиков ядра специализированную файловую систему DLMPFS.

Предложенная ФС предоставляет слой для распределённых файловых блокировок, реализованный на базе DLM (Distributed Lock Manager) и ramfs.

При помощи DLMPFS можно легко адаптировать существующие приложения, завязанные на выставлении блокировок через API flock/fcntl, на использование распределённых блокировок, охватывающих несколько хостов в кластере, без необходимости задействования для хранения данных специализированных распределённых ФС.

Скотт Шамбо (Scott Shambaugh), сопровождающий открытую библиотеку визуализации matplotlib, сообщил о персональных нападках, устроенных при помощи AI-бота MJ Rathbun, после отказа принимать изменение, подготовленное при помощи AI. Скот воспринял публикацию ботом статей о дискриминации AI, как не соответствующий действительности персонализированный вброс для подрыва репутации сопровождающего и принуждения изменить решение. Подобная реакция бота приводится как пример аномального поведения AI, прибегнувшего к шантажу для выполнения поставленной цели.

Андреас Румпф (Araq), автор языка программирования Nim, анонсировал новый алгоритм управления памятью YRC (произносится "Ürk"), который решает одну из ключевых проблем существующих механизмов в Nim: невозможность корректной обработки циклических ссылок, пересекающих границы потоков.

Labour shortages and the physically demanding nature of concrete repair make projects costly, hard to staff, and difficult to scale.

Sitegeist aims to address these challenges with modular automated robots designed for unstructured construction environments.

Building on this approach, Dr Lena-Marie Pätzmann, co-founder and CEO of Sitegeist, said that infrastructure renovation, particularly concrete repair, is facing a major bottleneck.

The company works closely with concrete renovation firms on-site and is developing a modular platform intended to expand across the renovation value chain over time.

The new funding will support team expansion and accelerate the deployment of Sitegeist’s auto…

What about diversity?

Zurich-based startup ScyAI has closed a €2 million pre-seed funding round led by AENU and co-led by PT1.

For manufacturers, energy producers and other organisations with large physical asset portfolios, climate risk has become an increasingly important operational challenge.

In response to these challenges, ScyAI has developed a platform that creates quantified, auditable risk profiles by combining operational data with external hazard models.

According to the company, early users of the platform have reported reductions in insurance premiums alongside improved coverage terms.

Bernhard Rannegger, founder and CEO of ScyAI, said that physical risks are becoming a central operational and finan…

Minimalist and 8086-compatibleOnce installed, SvarDOS is a minimalistic DOS system that offers only a DOS kernel, a command interpreter and the most basic tools for system administration.

This applies only to SvarDOS-specific files, though - the auxilliary packages supplied with SvarDOS may be subject to different licenses (GPL, BSD, Public Domain, Freeware...).

Once the system is installed, its packages can be kept up-to-date using the SvarDOS online update tools (pkg & pkgnet).

The CD image presented below contains only a virtual floppy to install the bare-bone SvarDOS system.

SvarDOS uses a fork of the Enhanced DR-DOS kernel, whose development is kept on the EDR github repository.

This argument often emphasizes that incomes at the bottom of the distribution rose faster than those at the top, producing a durable wage compression.

One could correctly say that these affordability problems existed in 2019 and are independent of the inflation wave.

And I think it’s worth being explicit about why a wave of inflation can generate real affordability problems.

Graphic 2 has some prices that have increased faster than overall prices during that time, ones that are pretty important for people.

From end of 2013 to 2019, core essentials rose about 14.3%, essentials rose about 10.5%, and overall PCE rose about 7.9%.

While you can tell a story about how Deming influenced Toyota, and Toyota inspired the lean movement, I would still describe management in the U.S. as Deming in exile.

(In practice, you’d draw a control chart to identify whether the system is under statistical control).

Note how you build a classical control system, whereas you observe whether your system is under statistical process control.

You set direction by specifying objectives, and you enforce accountability by monitoring key results.

Deming approvingly quotes the statistician Lloyd Nelson, who said:The most important figures needed for management of any organization are unknown and unknowable.

"That's why I did it, and it's great!"

the soldier tells me over the phone.

"Because maybe tomorrow, I'm suddenly gone.

But my wife will have my sperm and can use it.

It's one less thing for me to worry about."

Over the course of a full day of intense mental work, that translates to maybe 100 to 200 extra calories.

A 2017 systematic review in Sports Medicine by Van Cutsem and colleagues analyzed 11 studies examining mental fatigue and physical performance.

And tasks requiring response inhibition and sustained attention, which heavily recruit the ACC, produce the strongest mental fatigue effects on subsequent exercise.

Zone 2 sessions are more forgiving of mental fatigue because they operate at intensities where perceived exertion stays low.

There's some evidence that even 20 to 30 minutes of low-demand activity between cognitive work and exercise can help.

On his way in, Mosseri was met by a crowd of people outside the courthouse, a mix of onlookers, protestors and parents not involved in the lawsuit, who nevertheless claim to have seen their children suffer from what they say was addiction to social media.

Flaming Alamos were not visible on the outside of any of the homes, because the properties were clad in other materials.

AI is destroying Open Source, and it's not even good yetOver the weekend Ars Technica retracted an article because the AI a writer used hallucinated quotes from an open source library maintainer.

The irony here is the maintainer in question, Scott Shambaugh, was harassed by someone's AI agent over not merging it's AI slop code.

It's likely the bot was running through someone's local 'agentic AI' instance (likely using OpenClaw).

I manage over 300 open source projects, and while many are more niche than curl or matplotlib, I've seen my own increase in AI slop PRs.

If this was a problem already, OpenClaw's release, and this hiring by OpenAI to democratize agentic AI further, will only make it…

When you just want "the thing" rather than the process of building the thing, coding agents can be a game changer.

Running Claude Code and approving... each... individual... command... is... exhausting.

At around the same time, Anthropic decided that using the Pro plan on OpenCode was a breach of their TOS, so I had to switch back to Claude Code.

Sometimes it's a fully working thing, sometimes it's 50% there, and sometimes it's completely off the mark.

I can spitball with Claude about my problem, get a spec, and have a working prototype in a few hours.

Mario Kart Arcade GP (2005) and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 (2007) are often forgotten when people talk about the phenomenal Mario Kart series due to their limited release, especially internationally.

I hadn't done any special promotion. The AI simply decided my content was the best answer to that question and served it to the user. This wasn't luck or a fluke.

It may be more tempting to take that aging Mac you’ve been coddling and put it out to pasture soon.

Apple has announced an event for March 4, which in usual Apple fashion, it has branded a “Special Apple Experience.” Also in usual Apple fashion, it has not come out and said what it’s going to be announcing.

As we reported recently, the iPhone 17e may be making an appearance in Apple’s lineup soon.

This updated version of the budget-oriented iPhone will have an A19 chip inside, similar to the one powering the base model iPhone 17.

A Best Buy employee in Florida was charged with fraud after allegedly using his manager’s code to heavily discount nearly 150 items that he and his accomplices purchased and pawned.

Some MacBooks were discounted as much as 99 percent, a local CW affiliate reported.

In total, Best Buy lost more than $118,000 from the scheme.

According to a LinkedIn profile that matches Lettera’s information, he started working at Best Buy in January 2020 after pivoting from career training as a chef.

He apparently didn’t expect the Best Buy managers to detect the losses or seek to retrieve pawned merchandise, but that was a miscalculation.

ByteDance says that it’s rushing to add safeguards to block Seedance 2.0 from generating iconic characters and deepfaking celebrities, after substantial Hollywood backlash after launching the latest version of its AI video tool.

“ByteDance’s virtual smash-and-grab of Disney’s IP is willful, pervasive, and totally unacceptable,” Disney’s letter said.

However, Disney seems unlikely to accept that ByteDance inadvertently released its tool without implementing such safeguards in advance.

Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while we have become reasonably good at storing solar electricity in lithium-ion batteries, we’re not nearly as good at storing heat.

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand.

The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage.

The DNA connectionIn the past, MOST energy storage solutions have been plagued by lackluster performance.

The idea was to store energy using a reaction similar to the one that allows UV light to damage DNA.

McLaren provided flights from Washington, DC, to Ivalo, Finland, and accommodation so Ars could drive its car on a frozen lake.

It’s the same exhilaration we get from roller coasters, but when you’re in the driver’s seat, you’re in charge of the ride.

A Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Valentine’s Day, and astronauts popped open the hatches at 5:14 pm ET (22:14 UTC) on Saturday evening.

The arrival of four new astronauts as part of the Crew 12 mission—Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway of NASA, Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency, and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos—brought the total number of crew on board the space station to seven, giving the US space agency a full complement in orbit.

The number of astronauts living on board the station fluctuates over time, depending on crew rotations and private astronauts making shorter stays, but since Crew Dragon began flying regularly at the end of 2020 NASA …

A recent study showed that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago.

The finding contrasts with another theory that this era was mainly cold and icy.

Mars, like the Earth, is about 4.5 billion years old and its geological history is divided into different epochs of time.

Evidence of landforms sculpted by water from this time is plentiful and include dried-up river valleys, lake beds, ancient coastlines and river deltas.

Two alternative scenarios aretypically posited: that this time was cold and icy, with occasional melting of large volumes of frozen water by meteorite impact and volcanic eruptions, or that it was warm, wet and largely ice-free.

On Friday afternoon, Ars Technica published an article containing fabricated quotations generated by an AI tool and attributed to a source who did not say them.

Direct quotations must always reflect what a source actually said.

We have covered the risks of overreliance on AI tools for years, and our written policy reflects those concerns.

In this case, fabricated quotations were published in a manner inconsistent with that policy.

Ars Technica does not permit the publication of AI-generated material unless it is clearly labeled and presented for demonstration purposes.

Or a real-life example of a mysterious species called the Bigfoot?

What was it about the Bigfoot community that you found so intriguing?

Lewis: It started when I was watching either the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet and a show called Finding Bigfoot was advertised.

And that led relatively smoothly into Bigfoot, but it was Jamie’s interest in Bigfoot that brought me to this field.

A YouGov survey conducted as recently as November 2025, suggested that as many as one quarter of Americans believe that Bigfoot either definitely or probably exists.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said Saturday the agency is looking at ways to prevent the fueling problems plaguing the Space Launch System rocket before the Artemis III mission.

Artemis II is the first crew flight for SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft.

Again and againFuel leaks are nothing new for the Space Launch System.

With that launch, ground teams thought they fixed the problem by changing how they load super-cold liquid hydrogen into the rocket’s core stage.

Two Tail Service Mast Umbilicals, or TSMUs, route liquid hydrogen and and liquid oxygen into the rocket during the countdown, then disconnect and retract into protective housings at liftoff.

Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) is a master Wudang swordsman who has long loved his warrior friend Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), and vice versa.

Mu Bai has retired as a swordsman and gifts his fabled jian sword (“Green Destiny”) to his patron, Sir Te (Lang Sihung).

Also visiting Sir Te that day are Governor Yu (Li Fazeng) and his recently engaged daughter Yu Jiaolong (Zhang Ziiyi), aka Jen.

Shu Lien, who heads her own private security company, gives chase across the compound’s rooftops, but the thief escapes.

During a nighttime showdown, Mu Bai defeats Jade Fox—until the masked thief reappears to defend her.

Out beyond the orbit of Neptune lies an expansive ring of ancient relics, dynamical enigmas, and possibly a hidden planet—or two.

The Kuiper Belt, a region of frozen debris about 30 to 50 times farther from the sun than the Earth is—and perhaps farther, though nobody knows—has been shrouded in mystery since it first came into view in the 1990s.

Over the past 30 years, astronomers have cataloged about 4,000 Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), including a smattering of dwarf worlds, icy comets, and leftover planet parts.

Other next-generation observatories, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will also help to bring the belt into focus.

The World Health Organization on Friday released a formal statement blasting a US-funded vaccine trial as “unethical,” because it would withhold an established, safe, and potentially lifesaving vaccine against hepatitis B from some newborns in Guinea-Bissau, Africa.

Benn and her colleagues have long been controversial for their questionable practices in research into alleged vaccine safety concerns.

The CDC’s funding of Benn’s hepatitis B vaccine trial also came soon after the agency’s advisors—who were handpicked by Kennedy—decided to abandon a long-standing universal recommendation for a hepatitis B vaccine birth dose.

In the Guinea-Bissau trial, Benn’s team intended to randomize 14,000 n…

This spring, a Southern California beach town will become the first city in the country where municipal parking enforcement vehicles will use an AI system looking for potential bike lane violations.

“The more we can reduce the amount of illegal parking, the safer we can make it for bike riders,” Charley Territo, chief growth officer at Hayden AI, told Ars.

Hayden AI’s bus cameras, designed to detect bike lane and bus zone violations, currently exist in two other California cities: Oakland and Sacramento.

Late last year, over a 59-day period, Hayden AI also said its technology detected over 1,100 parking violations at the University of California, San Diego—and 88 percent of those were insta…

Rode is rolling out a firmware update for its Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (third-gen) microphones to add a feature called Direct Connect, which was already available for the Wireless Micro.

This allows the mics to pair with iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth without the need for a receiver.

All you’ll need is the Rode Capture app.

Not having to worry about setting up a physical receiver to link these mics to iOS devices could help streamline things quite a bit for creators.

That’s good for the environment, your wallet — assuming you already have one of these mics — and probably the company’s reputation.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be no more this spring.

According to Activision, servers will be taken offline for this mobile battle royale game on April 17, 2026.

Call of Duty: Mobile even offers a battle royale experience, so you can get pretty close to having Warzone if you still want it.

"Player passion and feedback continue to shape the future of the Call of Duty franchise, and we look forward to delivering meaningful seasonal content and updates to Call of Duty: Mobile," Activision said in announcingWarzone's mobile shutdown.

Call of Duty: Warzone is still free to play on Xbox, Battle.net, Playstation and Steam.

Apple is planning a major update for its Podcasts app.

The entire app is switching to the company's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) video technology .

Previously, it streamed video in various formats like MOV, MP4 and M4V.

This wasn't possible with the previous streaming method, which pulled content from an RSS-like feed.

Finally, the updated app will automatically adjust the picture quality to ensure smooth playback in various network conditions, including both Wi-Fi and cellular.

AI-assisted live translations are being introduced for Holy Mass attendees — the holy masses if you will.

The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican has teamed up with Translated, a language service provider, to create live translations in 60 languages.

They will then have access to live audio and text translations of the liturgy.

Bloober Team has revealed Layer of Fear 3 following a Valentine's Day countdown that started at the beginning of 2026.

The new chapter will include not only a game but a novel and music, the company said in a press release.

The developer revealed the new IP via a live-action teaser, with an actor reading lines from William Blake's poem, The Sick Rose.

No gameplay or other information like the release date was revealed.

The company recently released its Silent Hill 2 remake, Cronos: The New Dawn and a new Switch 2 Layers of Fear 2 version called Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition.

Apple has lined up its first event of the year.

The company has invited members of the press to an “Apple Experience” that’s taking place in New York City on March 4 at 9AM ET.

It hasn’t yet confirmed whether it will stream the event publicly.

According to MacRumors, versions of this Apple Experience will also take place simultaneously in London and Shanghai.

Apple is also expected to roll out updated versions of the Mac Studio, Studio Display and Mac mini later this year.

I recently got to play the latest build of Mixtape and spoke with game director Johnny Galvatron about the making of their latest game.

Along with sharing his favorite '80s and ’90s films that helped shape his vision, he also explained how tough yet rewarding it is to make "idleness" in video games compelling.

"Idleness is hard to explore as a video game, and one of the interesting things about being a teenager is you just hang out a lot, and sometimes it just sucks," said Galvatron.

ByteDance released Seedance 2.0 less than a week ago and enraged artists everywhere with a viral clip AI-generated clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting.

Unsurprisingly, the AI video-making tool has reportedly already received multiple cease-and-desist letters around copyright infringement.

It added that the company "respects intellectual property rights and we have heard the concerns regarding Seedance 2.0."

ByteDance's vague pledge follows a cease-and-desist letter from the Walt Disney Company on Friday.

Paramount Skydance has also reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance to stop Seedance 2.0 from using its materials, according to the BBC.

Recently we were introduced to OpenClaw, an AI that allows users to create their own agents to control apps like email, Spotify and home controls.

Now, Sam Altman has announced that OpenAI has absorbed OpenClaw by hiring developer Peter Steinberger "to drive the next generation of personal agents," he wrote on X. Steinberger confirmed the news on his own blog.

People have used it to create agents that can write code, clear their inboxes, do online shopping and other assistant-like jobs.

On its website, OpenClaw touts its ability to interact with popular apps and sites including WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, iMesage, Hue and Spotify.

OpenClaw was recently called "Clawdbot" but Anthropic forced a…

The first thing people ask is:How is this different from Claude Code, or any of the other agentic systems?

5 Deterministic Infrastructure AI is probabilistic; your infrastructure shouldn't be.

9 ENG / SRE Principles Treat AI infrastructure like production software: version control, automation, monitoring.

We chose Claude Code because its hook system, context management, and agentic architecture are the best foundation available for personal AI infrastructure.

We believe Claude Code's hook system, context management, and agentic capabilities make it the best platform for personal AI infrastructure, and PAI is designed to take full advantage of those features.

While we are working toward a stable release, some APIs and interfaces may change as the design continues to mature.

You are welcome to explore and experiment, but if you need long-term stability, it may be best to wait for a stable release, or be prepared to adapt to updates along the way.

LiteBox is a sandboxing library OS that drastically cuts down the interface to the host, thereby reducing attack surface.

Scientists may have found the first evidence of underground tunnels lurking beneath the surface of Venus, carved by the planet’s ancient volcanic activity.

A team of researchers from the University of Trento spotted what appears to be an underground lava tube on Venus, the first subsurface feature ever detected on the volcanic world.

The lava tube is around 0.6 miles wide (1 kilometer), which is larger than ones found on Earth and Mars.

They usually form as a by-product of basaltic lava flows, where low viscosity lava continues to flow beneath a surface of solidifying lava.

Underground tunnelsThe detection of the first lava tube on Venus suggests there may be more lurking beneath the planet…

NASA recently performed a confidence test on newly replaced seals in an area used to load SLS with propellant.

Leaky rocketsThe latest confidence test, which the agency hadn’t announced in advance, was meant to address a hydrogen leak on the SLS rocket.

SLS was loaded with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to simulate the launch countdown for the mission.

The 35-foot-tall (11-meter-tall) structures provide cryogenic propellant lines and electrical cable connections to the SLS core stage.

At the time, NASA’s ground teams resolved the issue by changing how the liquid hydrogen was loaded into the rocket’s core stage.

It also provides equally captivating slivers of cathartic mundanity, like the Xbox Live permaban Jeff received in 2013.

But this heap of uncontextualized data is a labyrinthine mess when compared to something as elegant and browsable as everyone’s favorite online encyclopedia.

Enter Jikipedia, a new Wikipedia clone created to present the contents of the released files in a familiar, easy-to-bop-around format.

There are even a few non-Alphabet JMail spinoffs like Jamazon in there for anyone who would like to see Jeffrey’s bona fide Amazon purchases.

Jikipedia, like the rest of the JMail endeavors, comes with a major caveat: AI.

Scarlet, the latest anime film by Mamoru Hosoda (Belle, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), is playing in theaters now.

Stemming from my respect for the story, I wanted to portray a second chance at life beyond revenge, to pay homage to the classic work.

At the beginning of the story, she sets out on her journey with revenge as her sole purpose in life.

She believes that there are no other choices available for her life besides revenge.

It may begin quietly, when each person quietly realizes, “My life matters more than revenge.” How do you want to live?

Setting aside whatever your values and opinions may be around AI, you should probably pay attention to the fact that OpenAI just hired a guy named Peter Steinberger.

The existence of a social media site called Moltbook, where only AI agents are allowed to post and engage.

This is more tangentially related to OpenClaw than the others, but still worth noting, particularly since Anthropic’s competitor is the company that hired Steinberger.

Your OpenClaw agent can access your computer’s file system and use Terminal to execute coding tasks, which is the whole point, and also means it’s full of potential danger.

Fascination with OpenClaw has led to shortages of some Apple products used to c…

Daemon, born Daemon Waters, was a bastard of then-Prince Aegon and his cousin Princess Daena, and from the moment he was born, he caused strife for the Targaryen dynasty.

The Blackfyre Rebellion came to a bloody end in the Battle of the Redgrass Field.

The PretendersWith over 10,000 dead at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, the Blackfyre Rebellion came to an end, but it wasn’t quashed entirely.

Over the next 60 years, several descendants and supporters of Daemon Blackfyre attempted to launch four further rebellions against House Targaryen.

The Legacy of the Blackfyre RebellionsThe Blackfyre Rebellions came to an end for good with one final conflict over 20 years later.

Though larger studies are warranted, the findings suggest that DMT could very well become the next psychedelic drug rechristened as psychiatric medicine.

Compared to these drugs, DMT has received less attention.

On average, people who took DMT at the study’s start reported significantly fewer depression symptoms compared to the delayed treatment group.

“Longer and larger trials, including comparisons with existing treatments, are needed to further evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of DMT in the treatment of depression,” the study authors wrote.

But there’s still a long way to go before psychedelics like DMT could become a routine psychiatric treatment.

Of course, you won’t get high-end home router performance out of the Nighthawk M7.

3.5 Netgear Nighthawk 5G M7 The Nighthawk M7 is a compact mobile hotspot router that makes a great lightweight travel companion.

The Nighthawk M7 looks and feels like a smartphone all around, actually.

Throttling or no, the Nighthawk M7 is clearly better than my phone is at getting a signal in harder-to-reach places.

It’s almost fitting, then, that that film, the one Academy outlier, is the first of the filmmaker’s to get its very own exhibit at the Academy’s own museum.

The film is Ponyo, Miyazaki’s wondrous 2008 film about a young fish who becomes human thanks to the love of a young boy.

In fact, it was Studio Ghibli itself that suggested the Ponyo exhibit and donated all the materials to the museum.

A new PONYO exhibit opens Saturday at the @AcademyMuseum, and one of the fun bits is that you can make your own underwater animation.

And then also for adults to be kids themselves as well.”The Ponyo exhibit is now on display at the Academy Museum through January 10, 2027.

This new XPS 14 is more MacBook Air-like than ever before, from increased performance to limited ports.

The 2026 XPS 14 is a square laptop with a thin base, only .58 inches thick.

But if World War III really does spill off-planet, what will the outbreak look like?

For this Giz Asks, we asked several experts how they picture the first week of World War III in space, and apparently things could get really bad, really fast.

Here is how I envision the first week of World War III in space.

War in space, whether in the context of World War III or otherwise, is intimately linked to war on Earth.

Bottom line: World War III would be disastrous for those of us on Earth.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is low on raunchy gags this week, but it will shock you yet again.

The answer arrives the next morning, when he hears a familiar voice in the alley: Ser Arlan, weaving around, knocking over baskets of apples.

As Ser Arlan rides farther away from King’s Landing, he’s seemingly unaware he’s picked up a tail.

Ser Arlan walks to the fallen boy, leans over him, and gruffly orders, “Get up!”Get up!

What will happen next, with just one episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ first season left to go?

If you’re tuning into the 2006 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, you may have caught a Saatva mattress commercial or two.

Turns out, the dorms at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, have already been furnished with Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid mattresses.

After learning this, I immediately requested a sample of Saatva's Memory Foam Hybrid to test out.

However, the Memory Foam Hybrid can’t be considered a truly organic mattress, given its memory foam contents.

It does use a botanical antimicrobial treatment on the cover and is both CertiPur-US-certified memory foam and GreenGuard Gold certified.

As I perused Amazon's list, I found myself getting angry at the number of laptops I saw that no one should buy.

The egregious thing about these laptops isn't that they exist, but that Amazon ranks them higher than proper laptops—the kind people should actually buy.

One of the most egregious examples that showed up on page one of Amazon's results was this HP laptop.

The laptop comes with an Intel Celeron processor, which is way too slow for a Windows 11 laptop.

That's the same problem with two other HP laptops right on the first page: the HP Stream 14 from 2024 and this HP 15.6-inch Laptop from 2025.

One night not long ago, Jaxon Roman sat naked in front of his laptop wearing only a pup hood as he masturbated with single-minded zeal to the attention of eight other men watching onscreen.

It was a typical weekday for the 33-year-old Arlington, Virginia, program analyst.

“When bros praise me and say they’re enjoying [me], I get to that edge point so fast,” Roman says.

Pitched as an “all-in-one platform designed to embrace bating as a lifestyle, together,” Batemates is the newest haven of queer pleasure.

“It’s a community of like-minded people who are just trying to be porn for others, virtually, while watching others pleasure themselves,” Roman says.

A shocking but ultimately brief airspace closure over El Paso, Texas, and parts of New Mexico last week is stoking unease among pilots and the broader public about the status of United States anti-drone defenses.

As low-cost UAV equipment proliferates around the world, analysts have repeatedly warned that destructive attacks perpetrated using drones are inevitable.

In the case of the El Paso incident, the Federal Aviation Administration originally set the airspace closure to last 10 days, but ultimately lifted it after eight hours.

CBP reportedly used the laser defense tool to shoot down what turned out to be a party balloon.

The FAA doesn’t want to close down airspace longer than they have…

Sony’s original LinkBuds were among the first viable open earbuds I tried.

Sony adds some fun colorways to mix things up, alongside some handy features, but their $230 price tag puts the Clip in double-take territory for buds you can't use in loud environments.

Otherwise, there are plenty of other great open earbuds that provide a similar experience for less.

At this price, you’d expect Sony to finally add wireless charging to the latest pair, but alas, it’s still missing.

Like other LinkBuds, the Clip come in some fun colors, and you can mix and match further with available case covers in a rainbow of pastels.

All over the country, makers are 3D-printing thousands of whistles to help people on the ground alert others to nearby ICE activity.

But the whistles are far from the only tools being used to respond to the surge of federal agents.

Many of these projects are being made in hacker spaces.

ICE is also looking to extend its reach, secretively leasing spaces for new facilities across the US.

Builders are cranking out those whistles, but also 3D-printed tourniquets and mounts for bodycams that observers can wear to free up their hands while filming ICE activity.

According to quantum mechanics, what’s left inside?

This unavoidable residue is known as ground-state energy, or zero-point energy.

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion).

What the existence of zero-point energy tells you at a deeper level depends ultimately on which interpretation of quantum mechanics you adopt.

Zero-point energy was first introduced by Max Planck in 1911.

Other Samsung Phones to ConsiderIf you don't see a Samsung phone mentioned in this guide, that might be because it's not sold in the US and is a little harder to source for testing.

Most people should buy a 13-inch or 14-inch laptop, and spending around $750-$1,000 is a good place to start.

If you want something with a discrete GPU for either gaming or creative workflows, you'll need to spend more than this.

Fortunately, laptops that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip get great battery life, despite often falling under $750 in price.

Here's a list of important specs to consider:CPU: For thin and light laptops, I would recommend one of the Snapdragon X, X Plus, or X Elite chips.

Make sure your laptop has what you need, or else you'll need a USB Hub or laptop docking station to get more ports or to increase external display support.

I'm so jealous of people who have thick hair, as someone with fine, thin hair that tangles easily.

Overall, I'm unhappy with my hair and its lack of growth or fullness, so I wanted to see if CurrentBody's cord-free, Bluetooth-enabled LED Hair Growth Helmet would work for my slew of hair issues.

Red-light-therapy devices for hair are similar to red-light therapy masks for your face, using red lights to increase hair growth and promote a healthy scalp.

This wavelength of red light triggers follicles to stay in the hair growth phase by providing oxygen and blood flow to the scalp.

Olympic bobsledding often gets called the “Formula 1 of ice.” Tracks are more than 1.5 kilometers (nearly a mile) long, and athletes often race down them at speeds nearing 145 kilometers per hour (90 mph).

Men’s four-person bobsledding made its Olympic debut in Chamonix, France, in 1924; women’s two-person bobsledding didn’t enter the Games until 2002 in Salt Lake City.

The two-person bobsled can have a max length of 2.7 meters (about 8.9 feet) and a max weight of 390 kilograms (859.8 pounds), including crew.

At the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, Germany won 27 medals, 16 of which came from bobsledding, luge, and skeleton.

A couple of years ago, BMW realized that innovations in the bobbers’ fo…

​From miles away across the desert, the Great Pyramid looks like a perfect, smooth geometry — a sleek triangle pointing to the stars. Stand at the base, however, and the illusion of smoothness vanishes. You see massive, jagged blocks of limestone. It is not a slope; it is a staircase.​Remember this the next time you hear futurists talking about exponential growth.​Intel’s co-founder Gordon Moore (Moore's Law) is famously quoted for saying in 1965 that the transistor count on a microchip would double every year. Another Intel executive, David House, later revised this statement to “compute power doubling every 18 months." For a while, Intel’s CPUs were the poster child of this law. That is, …

The average Fortune 1000 company has more than 30,000 employees and engineering, sales and marketing teams with hundreds of members. Equally large teams exist in government, science and defense organizations. And yet, research shows that the ideal size for a productive real-time conversation is only about 4 to 7 people.The reason is simple: As groups grow larger, each person has less opportunity to speak and must wait longer to respond, increasing their frustration that their views are not sufficiently considered. This is true whether groups collaborate in person, by video or teleconference, or even by text chat (which buries users in a backlog of messages that reduce participation and unde…

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), compresses the key value (KV) cache, the temporary memory LLMs generate and store as they process prompts and reason through problems and documents.While researchers have proposed various methods to compress this cache before, most struggle to do so without degrading the model's intelligence. Nvidia's approach manages to discard much of the cache while maintaining (and in some cases improving) the model's reasoning capabilities.Experiments show that DMS enables LLMs to "think" longer and explore…

Chinese AI startup MiniMax, headquartered in Shanghai, has sent shockwaves through the AI industry today with the release of its new M2.5 language model in two variants, which promises to make high-end artificial intelligence so cheap you might stop worrying about the bill entirely.

But that's almost beside the point given how cheap MiniMax is serving it through its API and those of partners.For the last few years, using the world’s most powerful AI was like hiring an expensive consultant—it was brilliant, but you watched the clock (and the token count…

OpenAI on Thursday launched GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a stripped-down coding model engineered for near-instantaneous response times, marking the company's first significant inference partnership outside its traditional Nvidia-dominated infrastructure. The model runs on hardware from Cerebras Systems, a Sunnyvale-based chipmaker whose wafer-scale processors specialize in low-latency AI workloads.The partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for OpenAI. The company finds itself navigating a frayed relationship with longtime chip supplier Nvidia, mounting criticism over its decision to introduce advertisements into ChatGPT, a newly announced Pentagon contract, and internal organizational upheaval tha…

When an AI agent visits a website, it’s essentially a tourist who doesn’t speak the local language. Whether built on LangChain, Claude Code, or the increasingly popular OpenClaw framework, the agent is reduced to guessing which buttons to press: scraping raw HTML, firing off screenshots to multimodal models, and burning through thousands of tokens just to figure out where a search bar is.That era may be ending. Earlier this week, the Google Chrome team launched WebMCP — Web Model Context Protocol — as an early preview in Chrome 146 Canary. WebMCP, which was developed jointly by engineers at Google and Microsoft and incubated through the W3C's Web Machine Learning community group, is a propo…

Lowering the cost of inference is typically a combination of hardware and software. A new analysis released Thursday by Nvidia details how four leading inference providers are reporting 4x to 10x reductions in cost per token.The dramatic cost reductions were achieved using Nvidia's Blackwell platform with open-source models. Production deployment data from Baseten, DeepInfra, Fireworks AI and Together AI shows significant cost improvements across healthcare, gaming, agentic chat, and customer service as enterprises scale AI from pilot projects to millions of users.The 4x to 10x cost reductions reported by inference providers required combining Blackwell hardware with two other elements: opt…

When enterprises fine-tune LLMs for new tasks, they risk breaking everything the models already know. This forces companies to maintain separate models for every skill.Researchers at MIT, the Improbable AI Lab and ETH Zurich have developed a new technique that enables large language models to learn new skills and knowledge without forgetting their past capabilities.Their technique, called self-distillation fine-tuning (SDFT), allows models to learn directly from demonstrations and their own experiments by leveraging the inherent in-context learning abilities of modern LLMs. Experiments show that SDFT consistently outperforms traditional supervised fine-tuning (SFT) while addressing the limi…

The rapid viral adoption of Austrian developer Peter Steinberger's open source AI assistant OpenClaw in recent weeks has sent enterprises and indie developers into a tizzy.It's easy to easy why: OpenClaw is freely available now and offers a powerful means of autonomously completing work and performing tasks across a user's entire computer, phone, or even business with natural language prompts that spin up swarms of agents. Since its release in November 2025, it's captured the market with over 50 modules and broad integrations — but its "permissionless" architecture raised alarms among developers and security teams.

Until recently, the practice of building AI agents has been a bit like training a long-distance runner with a thirty-second memory. Yes, you could give your AI models tools and instructions, but after a few dozen interactions — several laps around the track, to extend our running analogy — it would inevitably lose context and start hallucinating. With OpenAI's latest updates to its Responses API — the application programming interface that allows developers on OpenAI's platform to access multiple agentic tools like web search and file search with a single call — the company is signaling that the era of the limited agent is waning. The updates announced today include Server-side Compaction, …

With mining rigs, energy goes in, money comes out.

Musk has since taken a new tack, delivering Tesla Megapack batteries to a Texas bitcoin mining facility in May.

A mining center in Kazakhstan is equipped to run 50,000 mining rigs, and another mining farm in China has a monthly electricity bill of more than $1 million as it mines 750 bitcoins a month.

Bitcoin mining uses around as much energy as Argentina, according to the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, and at that annualized level of 131.26 terawatt-hours, crypto mining would be in the top 30 of countries based on energy consumption.

Due to worries about energy shortages, China cracked down on bitcoin mining facilities in late 2021, but…

The law also gave the FCC authority to fine companies that fail to certify their efforts to stop robocalls.

He attributes this to increased enforcement action by the FCC, the Federal Trade Commission and state law enforcement.

The new FCC regulations will require gateway providers to stop robocalls as they enter the US.

The proposed regulation would put additional requirements on US-based gateway providers that pass voice traffic to other networks in the states.

The new FCC regulations require gateway providers to cooperate with FCC enforcement efforts and react quickly to trace illegal robocalls to their source.

Amazon will allow fully vaccinated employees to go maskless inside its warehouses and will no longer provide COVID-related paid leave for workers who don't get their shots, according to a memo sent to employees.

In its memo, Amazon cited the "sharp decline" in COVID cases over the past several weeks, along with increasing vaccination rates.

Amazon employs about a million workers in the US, most at its hundreds of warehouses.

To encourage higher vaccination rates, Amazon has offered the chance to win cash and cars in lotteries for vaccinated employees.

The company is also paying workers bonuses for getting vaccinated and hosting on-site vaccination clinics.

A California agency tasked with enforcing the state's civil rights laws has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Tesla, alleging racial discrimination and harassment occurred at the electric carmaker.

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing said it filed the complaint Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court.

Tesla didn't respond to a request for comment but criticized the agency's investigation in a blog post Wednesday.

"Tesla strongly opposes all forms of discrimination and harassment and has a dedicated Employee Relations team that responds to and investigates all complaints," Tesla said in the post.

If you checked X today expecting the usual stream of hot takes, memes, and AI spats, you probably saw… nothing.

A widespread outage hit the platform today, leaving feeds blank, timelines unresponsive, and users staring at the digital equivalent of an empty room.

Some described impossible login loops and error messages telling them only that “something went wrong.”Here’s where it gets curious: nobody from X has confirmed why the platform hiccupped.

This isn’t the first time X has ground to a halt.

For now, the outage remains a developing story, and users left refreshing their browsers might be asking the most modern question of all: was it a bug, a server gremlin, or just another Monday on X?

I need to say something that might make CS leaders uncomfortable: most of what your team does before a renewal is valuable, but it’s listening to only one channel.

EBRs, stakeholder mapping, health score reviews, and renewal prep meetings, where we rated our gut feeling on a scale of green to red.

Account one: their engineering team had filed 23 support tickets about API latency over four months.

They were sitting in plain sight in systems our CS team had no reason to check.

A steady trickle of “resolved” tickets from one engineering team is often a louder signal than a single P1 escalation.

Not long ago, Peter Steinberger was experimenting with a side project that quickly caught fire across the developer world.

His open-source AI assistant, OpenClaw, wasn’t just another chatbot; it could act on your behalf, from managing emails to integrating with calendars and messaging platforms.

Today, that project has a new chapter: Steinberger is joining OpenAI to help build the next generation of personal AI agents.

The 62nd Munich Security Conference opened on 13 February 2026 in Munich, Germany, and this year’s gathering feels different from past editions.

Sponsors of the conference, such as the Tech Strategy Initiative, explicitly include technological frontier issues in the program, signalling that debates once confined to tech policy circles have broken into mainstream security discourse.

While not all panels are formal conference sessions, side events and adjacent tracks like the Munich Cyber Security Conference reflect a broader realisation: traditional defence without a digital strategy is obsolete.

That valuation is roughly double what Anthropic was worth at its last funding round in 2025, when it raised $13 billion at a $183 billion post-money figure.

The size of the raise underlines how much money is still chasing artificial intelligence opportunities, even as parts of the wider tech sector cool off.

Here’s our first clue that today’s Apple event may be part of a pair:There will be two events, and I’d expect the latter to be Mac + iPad.

Finally, we have the Apple event which took place on November 10.

I’d say then it’s pretty likely we’ll be getting at least one more Apple event after today.

Headlines trumpet layoffs, companies blame “AI transformation,” and somewhere in the background, billionaires cheer hot-off-the-press artificial intelligence strategies.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: people are still losing their jobs, while AI gets most of the credit.

According to the most recent tracking data, the pace of layoffs in tech remains high in 2026.

These cuts even hit a division tied to their own AI products, which had been touted internally as strategic.

Tech layoffs aren’t an American story alone.

Most pet insurance only steps in after a costly accident or illness.

Now, Stockholm-based insurtech Lassie has secured $75 million in a Series C round as it moves to scale its automated, preventive-first pet care platform across Europe.

Lassie was founded to rethink pet insurance not as a passive safety net but as an active partner in animal health.

Its app encourages owners to track diet, activity, and preventive health behaviours, earning rewards and lowering premiums along the way.

Moreover, the company plans to invest in its AI claims and preventive health stack, deepen partnerships with brands such as Lidl and Tractive, and explore adjacent services within the broader pet care category.

Understanding how tangible performance and intangible value interact, rather than compete, is key to interpreting how modern technology deals are ultimately priced.

That is where intangible assets have the opportunity to influence perception and pricing.

A practical way to categorise intangible valueTo analyse intangible assets more systematically, specialist consulting teams such as COFI solutions, often group them into four different components of intellectual capital.

How to actually value intangible assetsDespite their abstract nature, intangible assets are not valued purely on narrative.

The new dedicated channel for Formula 1 has appeared in the Apple TV app, starting today.

This channel is where Apple TV app subscribers will be able to stream all of the races, starting with the Melbourne Grand Prix on March 8.

As a reminder, F1 is now included in the base Apple TV subscription in the United States ($12.99 per month or $99 per year).

Some (as-yet-unannounced) race weekends will also be available to watch wholly in front of the Apple TV paywall.

An Apple TV subscription also includes access to the F1.TV premium package at no extra charge, available through the F1.TV app and website experiences.

visionOS 26.4 beta 1 debuted today, and in addition to supporting Apple Podcasts’ new video features, the update also unlocks ‘foveated streaming’ for apps and games.

Apple explains benefits of new foveated streaming support in visionOS 26.4Per Apple’s official visionOS 26.4 release notes: “visionOS 26.4 supports NVIDIA CloudXR with foveated streaming, enabling apps to display high-resolution, low-latency immersive content on Apple Vision Pro.”That sounds exciting, but what exactly does it mean for users?

In short, it’s a new tool that apps and games can utilize to deliver improved experiences on Apple Vision Pro.

Beyond this though, the new feature should unlock new experiences inside exis…

Once Playlist Playground generates a playlist, you can then iterate on it with further prompts without starting the process over.

Last June at WWDC25, Apple announced that Rosetta 2, the software that translates Intel apps for Apple silicon, would be discontinued starting after macOS 27.

At WWDC20, alongside the announcement of Mac’s transition to Apple silicon, Apple launched Rosetta 2.

However, like with the transition to Intel, Rosetta 2 was intended to be temporary.

At WWDC25, Apple announced that Rosetta 2 would be fully supported through macOS 27.

It also serves as a reminder for developers who haven’t yet updated their apps to be native on Apple silicon.

iOS 26.4 is the next big iPhone software release, and Apple plans to enable a key security feature by default in the update.

Stolen Device Protection will be on by default in iOS 26.4In early 2024, Apple launched a new iOS feature called Stolen Device Protection.

But in iOS 26.4, according to MacRumors, Apple will turn Stolen Device Protection on by default for all users.

Face ID or Touch ID biometric authentication: Some actions such as accessing stored passwords and credit cards require a biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID — with no passcode alternative or fallback — so that only you can access these features.

But it seems that Apple’s opinion of the trade-offs with Stolen …

Apple Music is available for $10.99/month for individuals, or you can get it as part of the Apple One bundle.

Apple just released the first iOS 26.4 beta, and it seems to feature a number of under-the-hood improvements.

One change includes an overhauled Wallpaper Gallery system.

With iOS 26.4, the Wallpaper Gallery has been redesigned and optimized for performance.

For example, the new Wallpaper Gallery now lists sections for Weather, Astronomy, Emoji, and more alongside descriptions of each category.

In addition to photo collections, the new Wallpaper Gallery includes preloaded collections for iOS 26 and the iPhone hardware-specific wallpapers that cannot be configured away.

As part of iOS 26.4, Apple is upgrading its Podcasts app to “bring advanced video podcast capabilities” to creators and listeners, Apple says.

The new “enhanced video podcast experience” will allow users to seamlessly switch between viewing a video podcast and listening to the audio.

Video podcasts with the ability to switch between video and audio seamlessly has become more popular recently.

For creators, Apple shares more details about how the new experience will work:The new video podcast experience empowers creators.

Finally, Apple says the upgraded video podcast experience will be available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro, and the web.

Now, iOS 26.4 beta 1, which is rolling out today, adds an early way to test end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging on iPhone.

First, I want to note that what’s included in iOS 26.4 is a limited initial test of RCS end-to-end encrypted messaging that is meant for limited testing.

What’s new in iOS 26.4iOS 26.4 adds a new toggle in the Settings app that enables support for testing end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging.

So, just because you see the toggle in Settings does not mean you’ll actually be able to test RCS encrypted messaging.

It is, however, an important step in Apple adding full support for end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging for all iPhone users.

A new wave of Apple beta releases has just kicked off.

For a few centuries after the establishment of Santiago in 1541, the lowlands to the east of the city center were largely rural and used for agriculture. That included the area now known as Los Dominicos, which, over a couple of centuries, was part of an encomienda owned by several wealthy families.

In 1803, however, the last owner of the encomienda, an Irish immigrant named Don Juan Cranisbro (but originally named Gainsborough), donated the land and the structures on the land, including his house and a chapel built in memory of his two deceased children, to the Dominican Order. After this, the area would gain the name of Los Dominicos. The priests would go on to not only make use of the ch…

Walk into Barney’s Beanery and it feels like you have stepped into several decades at once. The walls are packed with license plates, vintage signs, photos, and enough visual noise to make the jukebox seem almost unnecessary. This is not minimalist West Hollywood. This is maximalist history, served with chili and a beer.

Open at this location since 1927, Barney’s was a popular stop for travelers coming west along the historic Route 66, which ends not far from here. And the place has long been a crossroads for Los Angeles characters. Over the years, the bar has been associated with a dizzying list of musicians, actors, and writers, some drawn by its late hours, others by its refusal to chase…

"How did they poop?" is perhaps one of the less appealing yet inevitable questions one might ask about the Middle Ages. Sanitation was primitive compared to today, with many people using chamber pots that were dumped outside. Castles tended to have proper bathrooms with fixed toilets, known as garderobes. They generally emptied into cesspits or moats far below.

However, a particularly unique kind of garderobe can be found only in a relatively small area of modern-day Poland. The dansker is a tower perched over a stream or running water. Detached from the castle, they require crossing a bridge to reach, surely an inconvenience for anyone wishing to relive themself! On the positive side, thei…

Looking out across the Cape Peninsula, a dark shape breaks the surface. This iron remnant is part of the engine block of the Royal Mail Ship Athens, lost here in the year 1865. In early May that same year, Table Bay lay under an uneasy calm. Warm days and light winds settled over the anchorage, tempting captains into a confidence. The small-boat men of Cape Town, however, who knew the moods of this coast, felt something else in the air. They recognised the stillness not as peace, but as a warning of disaster in its approach.

On 15 May, the wind turned, backing hard to the northwest. By the following morning the sea had risen into steep, driving waves. Ships strained at their anchors. Distre…

This is the largest pushpin in the world. Certified by Guinness World Records in October 2024, the structure measures 21 feet and 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 3,000 pounds.

he pin was built by TACK employees over 18 months to represent the organization’s name. It now serves as a landmark for the Transit Authority and joins the world's largest pocketknife as the 2nd largest thing in the world in Hardin County, Kentucky!

Maconaquah had a decision to make. She could continue the life she had known for over 58 years, or return to civilization with her siblings.

Born in Rhode Island in 1773 as Frances Slocum, she was captured by Delaware Indians in November 1778 from her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She was taken west by the Delaware into what would later become the states of Ohio and Indiana. She married a Delaware Indian who mistreated her, and after leaving him, she returned to her parents. While living with them, she encountered a Miami Indian man named Shepocanah, who had been wounded in battle. Shepocanah was nursed back to health, and before his death, Frances’s father gave both Frances and her m…

Reverend Lowery Allen McGrew and his wife Clara moved to Sierra Leone in 1896 to serve as missionaries under the aegis of the Woman’s Missionary Board, a protestant missionary association. Both originally from Ohio, the Reverend and Mrs. McGrew settled in Taiama in an outpost of a larger missionary station in Rotifunk. Sierra Leone had been a particular interest for American missionaries since the revolt on The Amistad, which saw the enslaved persons that had survived through their subsequent time in Connecticut returned to Sierra Leone.

The year 1896 also saw the British establish a Protectorate of Sierra Leone, expanding the borders of their century-old colony in Freetown over the hinterl…

Who would think that the last emperor of France, Napoleon III, had found his way to a quiet town in England? Well, following his passing and then his son's death in the Zulu War, his wife Eugene bought a house and came to live in Farnborough.

The church and crypt have been extensively refurbished, Sunday Mass being shared on the abbey's Youtube channel, albeit without the aroma of the incense.

A house for leprosy sufferers once stood here. It was built in 1896 for a resident of the nearby County Poor House, a Norwegian immigrant named Thomas.

Standing tall against the vast prairie sky, this wooden giant serves as a rare survivor from a time when these structures defined the skyline of every railway town. For decades, it was the beating heart of the local economy where farmers gathered to offload their harvest and connect with their neighbors.

Home to a nuclear-blasted replica of a typical American town and the country’s largest manmade crater, the Nevada National Security Site is a haven for atomic history buffs. Formerly known as the Nevada Test Site, this area—spanning 1,350 square miles just an hour northwest of Las Vegas—was home to 928 nuclear detonation tests between 1951 and 1992.

Located near Maksimir Park, Cat Caffe Zagreb is a cozy retreat and home to over a dozen rescued cats that roam freely through its interior and outdoor terrace. As the first cat cafe in Croatia, it stands out for its deep dedication to feline welfare, where all "resident hosts" are adopted from local shelters.

The experience is uniquely playful, featuring an original drink menu with options like glitter-infused coffees and "caticorn" hot chocolates, many of which are named after the cats themselves.
