Аналогичная функция есть в AirPods Pro 2 и AirPods Pro 3 от Apple.

Я посмотрел на это как гик: с одной стороны - реально классная штука, хочу такую же.

Это коробочка, которая видит HDMI-выход вашей машины, притворяется для неё USB-клавиатурой и мышью и отдаёт всё это в браузер.

Стоит где-то за коробками гипервизор/NAS, и в один прекрасный момент не грузится: не пингуется, по SSH молчит, веб-морда мертва.

Штука известная и, в общем, не новая: собрать KVM на ESP пытаются давно - на ESP8266, на ESP32-S3, кто во что горазд.

Видно и BIOS в 640x480, и загрузчик, и рабочий стол в 1080p.

В логах RDP-подключений иногда встречается запись, которая выглядит как ::%16777216 — и это вместо привычного IP-адреса.

Причем в исходном XML-представлении события значение выглядит точно так же, так что это не проблема форматирования.

Я подключился по RDP через этот туннель и увидел в логе то, что и ожидал, — то самое значение ::%16777216 .

Утилита перехватывает API-вызовы и показывает, что попало на вход и что вернулось на выходе.

Я провел еще один эксперимент: вместо адреса ::1 взял нормальный IPv6-адрес, подключился по RDP напрямую, без туннеля, и посмотрел на результат в логах и в памяти.

В итоге я написал собственный физический движок на С++, и в этой статье я расскажу про него, историю создания, и разные нюансы.

Начал писать я на Python, и всё бы ничего, если бы не его скорость, а она совсем не велика.

Понял я это не сразу, а после того, как написал уже рабочую версию движка, поэтому код я переносил советуясь с нейронкой, тем более язык С++ для меня пока новый.

Транспортировал проект я за 1 день и был очень рад: во-первых тем, что оно вообще работает, во-вторых скоростью - то, ради чего я и затеял это.

На Python 50 частиц уже предел, на C++ получилось сдвинуть порог до ~5000 частиц, но на этом я не хотел останавливаться, поэтому стал рыться в этой теме.

Meta замерила: 0,2% средней деградации для сборки под 32 ГБ и 1,0% для сборки под 24 ГБ на 15 бенчмарках.

Если ваш план был «заменить Claude Code на что-то локальное», честный ответ на сегодня: не на этом железе и не dense-моделью на 30B.

Но это утверждение об одной нагрузке, а не о локальном ИИ вообще — и стоит быть точным, о какой именно.

Но это не входной билет, и притворяться, что это он, отпугивает как раз тех, кому технология принесла бы больше всего пользы.

Разрыв между тем, что вам отдаёт дата-центр, и тем, на что способен ваш ноутбук, сокращается быстрее, чем большинство успело заметить.

Когда ты генерируешь сложную архитектуру нейросетями, а потом просто заворачиваешь это в жесточайший обфускатор, решив, что это спасёт от взлома - получается то, что мы имеем.

Во-вторых, внутренний стейт генератора дробится не на 64-битные куски, а на 16-битные short -блоки.

Нет проверки подписиЯ просмотрел всю цепочку и не нашел вообще никакой проверки того, кто сгенерировал этот архив.

Конечно, технически это примитивная обфускация и стеганография, а не криптография (не надо сравнивать это с AES).

Что в сухом остаткеЯ собрал всё, что нашел, в одну картинку.

Я помню как в две тысячи восемнадцатом году в небольшом магазинчике в Пензе я слышал, как продавщица колбасного отдела обсуждала с продавщицей сырного отдела биткойн и криптовалюты.

Я помню, как в том же двадцать втором люди платили сотни тысяч долларов за запись в блокчейне о владении пикселями процедурно сгенерированной обезьяны.

Стирку нужно рассматривать не как отдельный процесс, а как часть конвейера по удовлетворению человеческой потребности в чистой и красивой одежде.

При разработке с ИИ этой ментальной карты не формируется - спрашиваешь у ответственного человека, как работает функция, за разработку которой он отвечал, а он и не знает.

В теории выглядит хорошо, и продукт действительн…

ЦАП, цифровые фильтры, квадратурный модулятор, усилители и весь RF-тракт должны вместе сформировать сигнал, который не только содержит нужные данные, но и укладывается в требования стандарта и не мешает соседним каналам.

Точка задается комплексным числом:На этом этапе и — это числовые координаты точки созвездия, а не напряжения.

Комплексная baseband-огибающая описывает сигналы не в абсолютных частотах, а как отклонения относительно этой центральной отметки.

Например, при для :а для :При этом отдельного физического передатчика и отдельной антенны для каждой поднесущей нет.

Именно поэтому разработка радиомодуля — это не только программная задача и не только задача схемотехники.

Больше похоже на густой кисельСмешать воду и растительное масло в стойкую эмульсию можно и венчиком на кухне.

При этом процесс чрезвычайно энергоэффективный и чем тверже материал, тем более эффективно работают дробилки на этом принципе.

Со временем на настоящем молоке (не, не из Шестерочки) появляется сверху слой жировых сливок, но легкое перемешивание вновь возвращает эмульсию в первоначальный вид.

При электрогидроударе возникают мощные потоки жесткого ультрафиолета и кавитационные эффекты, которые буквально "сжигают" любые микроорганизмы, при этом с высокой энергоэффективностью и скоростью.

Число иждивенцев на 100 человек в возрасте 15–64 лет, с разбивкой на молодых (0–14) и пожилых (65+).

Если людей стало на 10% меньше, а производительность выросла на 30%, общество спокойно может стать богаче.

Старение придёт и в политикуЕсли молодых относительно меньше, а старшие многочисленнее и дисциплинированнее ходят на выборы, средний избиратель стареет.

От роста людей — к росту производительностиВсё это не приговор: мир может, но не обязан стать беднее.

Демография меняется медленно и в этом и ловушка.

Такой уровень контроля и открытости обеспечивает уникальную доступность и удобство ST для низкоуровневого программирования.

Время скромных систем наподобие Atari ST и её более мощного конкурента Commodore Amiga закончилось и больше не вернулось.

Однако сгенерированные файлы программ работают и в операционной системе TOS Atari ST. Я рекомендую пользоваться сборками на странице m68k-atari-mint cross-tools Торстена Отто.

Разумеется, можно запускать его и на реальном оборудовании, но эмуляторы сильно упрощают жизнь, особенно при разработке и отладке.

Даже на коротком отрезке 2023–2026 годов: чтобы набрать 70 баллов в 2023 году, необходимо было набрать 14 первичных баллов, а в 2026 году необходимо набрать уже 12 баллов.

И это не по предметам, где такое хотя бы теоретически уместно, — это по МАТЕМАТИКЕ!

Об этом трубили министры и депутаты и в 2018, и в 2020, и в 2026 году.

Сейчас нейросети решают ЕГЭ не хуже 95% учеников и знают сразу ВСЕ предметы (ИИ справляется с ЕГЭ на отлично).

Магия чисел творит чудеса, и, как по мне, такой подход проживёт ещё лет 10, пока не исчерпает свои лимиты.

Грейды в DevOps как типы ответственностиДва инженера, у обоих пять лет в DevOps и одинаковый стек в резюме: Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab и вот это вот всё.

На собеседовании разница между этими двумя инженерами вскрывается не на вопросе “как настроить ingress”, оба настроят.

Причём второй ответ мог привести ровно к тому же выбору - платят не за выбор, за расчёт.

Тип ответственности одним вопросом не проверяется, только историей решений, поэтому про него почти и не спрашивают.

Три вопроса, чтобы найти себя на картеСамооценка грейда врёт в обе стороны - у сильных в минус, у остальных в плюс.

Местами становится опасно даже просто упоминать вероятность того, что ИИ не является решением той или иной проблемы, не говоря уже о том, чтобы принять бизнес‑стратегию, не привязанную к ИИ.

Отчасти это действительно попытка впарить ИИ легковозбудимой публике, но это не единственный и даже не главный фактор.

Один из слушателей сказал: «такая ранняя инвестиция в ИИ — это риск без какого‑либо вознаграждения».

Но вышестоящему руководству была продана идея типа «мы инвестировали в ИИ, что позволило нам добиться поставленных целей».

С ИИ‑помешательством вы скорее всего ничего не поделаете, и проблема здесь не в ИИ, а в поломанной корпоративной культуре.

Язык не нуждается в реальностиЯзык — уникальная система именно в том, что появляется из реальности, но для собственной связности в реальности не нуждается.

Внутри языка нет и не было фильтра, проверка реальности всегда проводится снаружи.

Это не хорошо и не плохо, каждый имеет право на свою картину мира, но желательно помнить, что это только картина, нарисованная языком.

Различие проходит не по качеству речи, а по тому, есть ли то, что не зависит от того, как об этом говорится.

А если вместо критики статьи будет очередной комментарий, связное возражение, которое одинаково хорошо звучит и в утвердительной, и в отрицательной форме, — что ж. Значит, работает связность.

В предыдущих частях мы прошлись по истории ЭВМ в СССР и разобрались с поколениями машин.

Пока большая часть народного хозяйства только училась сводить отчёты на ЭВМ, железнодорожники уже примеряли машину к настоящему поезду.

Первые полноценные АСУ сортировочных станций разработали и обкатали в девятую пятилетку, в 1971–1975 годах, на станциях Ленинград-Сортировочный-Московский и Орехово-Зуево — тогда ещё на ЭВМ второго поколения.

Строили их на мини-ЭВМ СМ-1420 и СМ-1600 и на персоналках — от гэдээровского «Роботрона-1715» до советских ЕС-1841 и ЕС-1842.

Kafka образца восьмидесятых, только очереди крутились не в облаке, а на ЕС ЭВМ в дорожном вычислительном центре.

Сборщик айфонов, компания Pegatron, по сути, подтвердила, что Apple отказывается от ежегодного графика релизов базовых айфонов, которого придерживалась со времён iPhone 8.

А что же это за такой важный клиент, изменение графика релизов которого настолько важно для компании?

Вполне вероятно, что Apple, для неё тайваньцы собирают айфоны.

И хоть имён никто не называл, график релизов можно считать подтверждённым: в следующем месяце ждём iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max и iPhone Ultra, а базовый айфон — в первом квартале 2027 года.

А мы вообще думаем, что весной 2027 года Apple пропустит iPhone 18 и выпустит сразу iPhone 19, ведь новому году — новое поколение!

Обновлённые Pixel Watch 5 получили новую цифру в названии и новые цвета: оливковый, туманный, обсидиан и «золотистое шампанское» — все мэтчатся с новой линейкой Pixel 11 Pro!

По весу и габаритам обе версии на 41 и 45 мм неотличимы от прошлогодних Pixel Watch 4.

Зато пятые Pixel Watch подорожали на $50 и теперь начинаются от $400, или примерно 33 тысячи рублей по текущему курсу.

А ещё Google наконец-то представила Pixel Tag — свой аналог Apple AirTag по цене $30 за одну штуку.

«Пиксельтаг» весит 11 граммов при габаритах 46 × 8 × 5 мм, защищён от пыли и влаги по стандарту IP67 и может выдержать кратковременное погружение в воду.

Базовую модель в этом году не обидели: Google щедро увеличила объём хранилища в базе со 128 до 256 ГБ, прокачала аккумулятор аж на 15 мА·ч и нашла способ сделать телефон на 7 граммов легче.

Камеры чуть-чуть обновили: ширик на 48 Мп с диафрагмой f/1.7 обзавёлся новой матрицей 1/1,56″ видиконовских дюйма.

У остальных модулей матрицы остались старые: ультраширик на 13 Мп с f/2.2 + телевик на 11 Мп с пятикратным оптическим зумом с f/3.1.

Цвета четыре: один яркий («гибискус») и три спокойных («фисташка», фрост и обсидиан).

Цена начинается от $900, или примерно 75 тысяч рублей по текущему курсу.

Компания не стала гнаться за супертонкими Samsung и OPPO и снова релизнула Pro Fold толщиной 10+ мм в сложенном состоянии.

На внутреннем развороте нас встречает старый добрый 8-дюймовый дисплей Super Actua Flex с частотой до 120 Гц и разрешением 2076 × 2152 пикселей.

Снаружи — 6,5 дюйма с разрешением 2342 × 1080 пикселей.

А что по характеристикам?

Цвета два, оба козырные: оливковый да обсидиан.

Google спасла нас от скучной презентации и дропнула новинки за 8 часов до официальной трансляции!

Лидер в области ИИ строил новые дата-центры для Gemini в такой спешке, что забыл приберечь немножко DRAM-модулей для собственного мобильного подразделения.

В компании решили не портить удачный дизайн-код Pixel 9 и лишь слегка обновили дизайн блока камер, прикрутив к нему RGB-диод.

Сами камеры остались без изменений: ширик на 50 Мп с диафрагмой f/1.68 + ультраширик на 48 Мп, f/1.7 + телевик с пятикратным оптическим зумом на 48 Мп, f/2.8.

Цены начинаются от $1100 за Pixel 11 Pro и от $1300 за Pro XL.

В Китае HONOR наконец показала Robot Phone — первый в индустрии смартфон с самым крохотным гимбал-подвесом.

HONOR отмечает, что на его создание потребовалось около сотни патентов.

Также есть привычные для портативных камер с гимбалом FPV-эффект, Spin Shot и суперстаб.

Однако учитывая, что за пределами родной КНР новинка не собирается, возможно, и восприниматься будет только китайский.

Продажи в Китае начнутся 18 августа.

Пользователь Reddit с ником ntsow решил выкинуть слово «мобильный» из мобильного гейминга и сбацал мини-ПК на ARM, подрубив к телефону клавиатуру, мышь и внешний дисплей.

Энтузиаст запустил на смартфоне Linux-терминал и через него установил библиотеки Wine, Box64, а также GameNative, необходимые для запуска Windows-игр на Android.

Для просмотра фильмов и ютубчика он развернул графическое окружение XFCE4 и даже сумел запустить на своей вундервафле третьего «Ведьмака»!

Автор поста уверяет, что игра идёт на ультранастройках в FullHD и держит под 30 FPS, но на прикреплённом скриншоте CPU и GPU загружены на 100 %, а у Геральта так и не прогрузились волосы.

Слабым местом сборки оказался горяченны…

Вероятно, маркетологи Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker Magnetic Edition таким образом хотели привлечь больше пользователей iPhone, к чьим гаджетам колонка крепится естественным образом.

Юзерам Xiaomi же придётся докупать чехол.

Сама же колонка обтянута фактурной сеткой, а на «крыше» имеет магнитное кольцо, которое можно использовать как подставку.

Устройство весит всего 95 г, имеет аккумулятор на 650 мА•ч, Bluetooth 6.0 и поддерживает объединение в стереопару.

Пока колонка доступна только на краудфандинговой площадке Xiaomi Youpin, где её стоимость составляет 132 юаня (≈ 1600 рублей).

Игровая мышь получила 11 программируемых кнопок, включая кнопку быстрого вызова AI Prompt Master, разворачивающую окно редактирования текста на базе ChatGPT.

Кто из геймеров о ней просил — большой вопрос, но все желающие могут увеличить число программируемых кнопок аж до 13/17/23, установив одну из трёх сменных насадок.

Самая мажорная боковая насадка на 12 кнопок предназначена для фанатов MMO, которым, как всегда, не хватает свободного места под новые макросы.

Под «капотом» стоит оптический сенсор Focus Pro третьего поколения с разрешением до 50 000 DPI и частотой опроса до 1000 Гц.

Кроме того, мышь получила собственное колёсико Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel с четырьмя режимами прокрутки.

Автономный переводчик, который работает без интернета и знает все языки, теперь можно изготовить самостоятельно.

Проект бесплатный: всё необходимое для сборки можно скачать, распечатать на 3D-принтере или купить в интернете.

Переводчик работает как вавилонская рыбка из фильма «Автостопом по галактике», разве что в ухо его совать не надо.

Корпус напечатан из пластика и вмещает в себя простой экран, клавиатуру, батарею и динамик с микрофоном.

Собрать свою версию можно, следуя инструкциям с GitHub: там и код, и инструкции по сборке.

Смартфоны заряжены по полной: оба работают на топовом чипе Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 и снабжены быстрой оперативной памятью LPDDR5X и постоянной UFS 4.1.

Более продвинутый REDMI K100 Pro Max немного больше простой «Прошки», а экран у него увеличен до 6,9 дюйма.

Среди конфигураций памяти добавили 16 ГБ/1 ТБ, а в модуле камеры улучшен ультраширик: 50 Мп вместо 8 Мп.

Смартфоны доступны в трёх основных цветах: белом, чёрном и трендовом бордовом, который на этот раз обозвали «Каберне Совиньон».

Стоимость REDMI K100 Pro начинается от 3700 юаней, или 45 тысяч рублей, а Pro Max — от 4200 юаней, или 51 тысячи рублей.

дядя Валя заметил, что Valve забыла поменять имя устройства в настройках SteamOS, так что Steam Machine выдаёт себя за Steam Deck.

Игра в этом не виновата: она уверена, что её запустили на Steam Deck, а не на классическом ПК.

С учётом дефицита и логистических сложностей добыть Steam Machine на просторах нашей необъятной родины можно за 150 тысяч рублей минимум.

PlayStation 5 дешевле Steam Machine, некоторые игры на ней идут лучше, чем на Steam Machine, а ещё на PlayStation 5 скоро выйдет самая ожидаемая игра десятилетия — Grand Theft Auto VI.

В-третьих, за 14 лет использования Steam я собрал огромную библиотеку игр, насчитывающую почти тысячу тайтлов, большинство из которых могу скачать и у…

Новинка щеголяет мощным 40-Вт звуком (30 Вт у вуфера и 10 Вт на пищалку) и дизайном а-ля керосиновая лампа, внутри которой подсветка подстраивается под ритм музыки.

Весит Pulse 6 всего 1,46 кг, что вряд ли можно считать значительным отягощением.

Есть поддержка Bluetooth 6.0 и кодеков AAC, SBC и LC3, а также встроенный ЦАП и возможность объединения в стереопару.

Пока JBL Pulse 6 представлена лишь в Китае.

Цена — 2500 юаней (≈ 31 000 рублей).

и и удержанием.

Стоимость привлечения пользователей и стоимость обслуживания бесплатной базы нужно считать раздельно, но учитывать обе величины при оценке экономики модели.

«Если пользователь платит 10 долларов в месяц и в среднем живет 7 месяцев, его LTV — около 70 долларов.

Можно улучшить входную конверсию, retention или монетизацию — и за счёт этого поднять LTV и вывести экономику в плюс».

Если пользователи не используют продукт и не возвращаются в него, конвертировать их в платящих будет невозможно».

Теперь Форд пришёл к инвесторам не только с изобретением и обещанием однажды его закончить, но и с работающим прототипом, поставщиками и понятным продуктом.

Так замысел Форда постепенно превращался не в отдельную удачную машину, а в систему, способную повторять результат.

Новый автомобиль оказался успешным: Ford выпустила почти 4,9 млн Model A. Проблема была не в том, что Форд не способен придумать следующий продукт.

Проблема была не в том, что Форд не признавал интересы работников.

Форд не был аскетом и не отказывался от возможностей, которые давало состояние.

Количество частных интернет-магазинов к IV кварталу 2026 года вырастет на 40–50%, прогнозируют в INFOLine.

По мнению авторов исследования, показатель может увеличиться на фоне желания предпринимателей уйти с маркетплейсов и доступностью решений для бизнеса.

Частные онлайн-магазины не смогут полностью заменить маркетплейсыВ INFOLine посоветовали компаниям не торопиться с выбором между собственным магазином и размещением товара на маркетплейсах.

Представлен релиз проекта QEMU 11.1.0. В качестве эмулятора QEMU позволяет запустить программу, собранную для одной аппаратной платформы на системе с совершенно иной архитектурой, например, выполнить приложение для ARM на x86-совместимом ПК. В режиме виртуализации в QEMU производительность выполнения кода в изолированном окружении близка к аппаратной системе за счёт прямого выполнения инструкций на CPU и задействования гипервизора Xen или модуля KVM в Linux, или модуля NVMM в NetBSD.

Представлен стабильный релиз языка программирования Mojo 1.0, который ознаменовал стабилизацию языка и реализацию всех базовых возможностей. Выпуск оценивается как готовый к повсеместному использованию и позволяющий начать разрабатывать крупные проекты, не опасаясь появления в языке изменений, нарушающих совместимость.

Компания Mozilla объявила о замене GPG-ключа, применяемого для заверения цифровой подписью артефактов релизов Firefox и Thunderbird, таких как tar-архивы, RPM-пакеты и файлы с контрольными суммами. Замена произведена в связи с инцидентом, в результате которого назашифрованная копия ключа была по недосмотру добавлена в приватный репозиторий компании на GitHub, доступный ограниченному числу участников проекта, которые имели доступ к применению ключа через внутренние сервисы.

Опубликован релиз сборочной системы Meson 1.12.0, которая используется для сборки таких проектов, как X.Org Server, Mesa, QEMU, Lighttpd, systemd, GStreamer, Wayland, GNOME и GTK. Код Meson написан на языке Python и поставляется под лицензией Apache 2.0.

Исследователи из массачусетского технологического института выявили технику атаки TONTOU (Time-of-Neutralization to Time-of-Use), предлагающую новый способ эксплуатации микроархитектурных уязвимостей класса Spectre v2. Уязвимость даёт возможность определить содержимое памяти ядра при выполнении эксплоита в пространстве пользователя. Код для блокирования эксплуатации уязвимости принят в состав ядра Linux 5 августа и включён в состав выпусков 7.1.7, 6.18.43, 6.18.43, 6.12.102, 6.6.149, 6.1.181, 5.15.214 и 5.10.263.

Раскрыта информация об уязвимости (CVE-2026-64561) в гипервизоре KVM, позволяющей получить доступ с правами root к хост-окружению при наличии доступа с правами root в гостевой системе. Проблема также может применяться для локального повышения своих привилегий при наличии доступа к устройству /dev/kvm (например, в RHEL подобный доступ предоставляется всем пользователям). Для загрузки доступен прототип экспоита. Проблеме присвоено кодовое имя Zapscape.

Компания Cloudflare открыла код платформы Cloudflare OS, предназначенных для создания персональных приложений с использованием вайб-кодинга, а также для безопасной работы с этими приложениями и AI-агентами. Код написан на языке TypeScript и распространяется под лицензией Apache 2.0.

За отдельными исключениями, правила запрещают передачу кода, сгенерированного через AI, но разрешают использование AI для анализа, изучения, рецензирования и проверки кода. Правила распространяются только на основной репозиторий rust-lang/rust, и отдельно утверждаются командами разработчиков субмодулей, подветок и зависимостей из каталога crates.io.

После трёх месяцев разработки представлен релиз свободной реализации API Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenGL ES и OpenCL - Mesa 26.2.0. Первый выпуск ветки Mesa 26.2.0 имеет экспериментальный статус - после проведения окончательной стабилизации кода будет выпущена стабильная версия 26.2.1.

Организация AISI (AI Security Institute), учреждённая при департаменте науки, инноваций и технологий Великобритании, опубликовала отчёт об эксперименте, приведшем к результатам, напоминающем случай с AI-агентом OpenAI. При 122 тестовых запусках для решения поставленной задачи AI-агенты совершили 19 несанкционированных действий в сети интернет (в 17 случаях использовалась модель Mythos 5, в 2 - GPT-5.6 Sol, у которых не ограничен доступ в интернет и были отключены механизмы, ограничивающие использование для проведения кибератак).

Зафиксирована массовая атака на пакеты в репозитории NPM, проводимая с использованием нового самораспространяющегося червя ChainDrop, подставляющего вредоносное ПО в зависимости. В результате атаки опубликовано 2212 вредоносных выпусков для 444 пакетов. Наиболее популярные из скомпрометированных пакетов keyv, flat-cache и file-entry-cache насчитывают 154, 149.9 и 147.6 миллионов загрузок в неделю.

celld keeps that model while moving placement, state, and operational evidence into infrastructure you choose.

What changes is tenancy: no shared Durable Objects scheduler or placement layer can couple your application to another customer's workload.

And to be clear about the tone: we love Cloudflare — this very page is served by a Cloudflare Worker.

The Durable Objects model — a single-threaded object with its own storage, addressed by name — is one of the best primitives distributed systems has been handed in years, and that design is Kenton Varda's and the Cloudflare Workers team's.

celld is a love letter to their idea; a primitive this good deserves to run anywhere.

Connector libraries cap out when your stack is proprietary or the graph gets huge.

Ballet writes the integration against any API the moment you need it, and the workflow runs as inspectable code instead of a brittle visual graph.

Principia Mathematica is modern and insightfulIntroductionPrincipia Mathematica by Whitehead and Russell was published back in 1910 -- and yet it reads like a modern text on programming languages.

When I was a student, I used to regularly drive right across Scotland, from the west coast to the east.

In time, I made a decision - I would take the route which went north out of Glasgow.

I hear you ask, dear reader, ‘why did you decide to do that?’, and I shall tell you - I just did.

Two days each week I need to get the train to my office.

These processes need not be especially justified in themselves.

Thanks to social media, canned sardines are a scarcity on the supermarket shelf.

If you’ve noticed empty shelves where canned sardines used to sit at your local grocery store, you aren’t imagining things.

For generations, canned sardines were seen as a cheap, humble pantry item.

The short-term viral fad diet involves eating the tinned fish while drinking only water, black coffee or plain tea.

The problem is especially severe in Morocco, which supplies a huge portion of the canned sardines sold in North American and European grocery stores.

Earlier this year, SQLite released (3.51.3), which fixed a longstanding bug in their Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) subsystem called the WAL-Reset bug.

Then I asked it to write a simple workload which exercised the WAL insert and checkpoint code.

The part you’re looking for is:Assertion failures triggered by the WAL-Reset bug.

Those issues were how the SQLite team discovered the WAL-Reset bug.

As the Tailscale team wrote, “nobody wanted us to spend six months looking for bugs in SQLite.

Today we're introducing Delta, a multiplayer environment for coding with agents and reviewing what they build, and we're inviting the first users into our private beta.

Delta keeps code and conversations connected, so developers and agents can work together with the full context of how the code came to be.

You can commit and push like you always did, and teammates who never open Delta see a normal git repo.

Keep working in the terminal you already use, and your session syncs live into a Delta thread.

Delta gives us a focused place to iterate quickly and improve the primitives through real product use.

Hard work is grinding and only partly reliable.

Three things supposedly decide whether you succeed: how hard you work, how lucky you get, and who you know.

Hard work gets treated as the real answer, the one thing fully within your control, the reason someone made it and someone else did not.

Hard work and luck are both real, but neither is a lever you can pull whenever you want.

Most people spend a decade optimizing how hard they work and never spend an afternoon on who they know.

Reflex replaces that complexity with a single, unified platform to build, deploy, and manage production applications end-to-end.

The opportunistic pathogen was first identified in 1986 from the brain of a San Diego Zoo monkey, which died from the infection.

The initial symptoms can be vague and, given its rarity, the infection is notorious for being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

But for the toddler, the infection looked different, sending doctors down the wrong path.

In a case report, published Wednesday in BMJ Case Reports, the toddler’s doctors at Seattle Children’s Hospital review how they were led in the wrong direction and how to prevent it from happening in the next case.

They also report that the boy’s parents agreed to share his medical case in hopes that it can lead to earlier diagnoses.

Now, a pair of designers are hoping to stymie these scrapers with a new font designed to offer people a perfectly readable webpage while serving scrapers a subtly edited, nonsensical version in the underlying HTML.

With ShieldFont, though, those ligatures are instead used to replace entire words with others in an attempt to destroy the text’s value to scrapers.

This substitution only happens when the font engine draws the page on screen, meaning scrapers that simply download plaintext source code get an altered version that end users never see.

When it comes to fooling AI scrapers, though, not all ligature-based word replacements are created equal.

Physicists with the Beijing Spectrometer III (BES III) experiment have uncovered convincing new evidence of the existence of so-called glueballs, an elusive composite particle made entirely of gluons predicted by quantum theory.

The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012 after decades of searching, was widely touted as the final missing piece of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

As Matthew Francis wrote for Ars in 2015:Just like the Higgs boson, glueballs are part of the reason that matter has mass.

The Higgs boson is a manifestation of the “Higgs field,” which is present throughout the Universe.

Without gluons, protons wouldn’t exist, much less be as massive as they are.

Twitch now lets users opt out of Amazon’s use of content from their channels to train Amazon’s “generative AI content models.” The change, announced today, comes more than two years after a company executive confirmed that Amazon was using Twitch content for AI training.

President Trump was sued by nonprofit news groups today over Truth Social’s “Truth API” that sells real-time access to posts from Trump and other top users of the social network.

Trump is profiting from selling preferential access to government information, the lawsuit said.

Trump’s social media company this month started charging customers up to $100,000 per month for the earliest access to posts that can have immediate impacts on financial markets.

It asks the court to declare that posting official government information exclusively on Truth Social while charging for fast access through the API is unconstitutional and unlawful.

It seeks an injunction prohibiting the president and aides fr…

Hundreds of US government drones have switched from border surveillance to a different surveillance mission this summer—looking for signs of screwworm infestations in wild animals and livestock herds.

However, it’s unclear if any of the drone flights may have led to detections of animals infested by screwworms in the United States.

The USDA dashboard showed 45 confirmed cases in domesticated animals across South Texas and New Mexico as of August 12.

Ars reached out to CBP and USDA for additional information on the number of drones involved in the surveillance campaign and how many screwworm cases were detected as a result of such drone surveillance.

The Trump administration is trying to stop New York from enforcing its gambling laws against Kalshi, and yesterday said it ordered the prediction market to continue operating in the state.

James’ lawsuit seeks a court order to permanently enjoin Kalshi “from operating an unlawful gambling business” in the state.

“Congress did not intend for derivatives exchanges to be regulated under a patchwork of state gaming laws… New York has no business regulating these interstate financial markets.

“Despite this, Kalshi has failed to obtain a license from the New York State Gaming Commissio…

It’s indeed depressing to imagine piles of book spines waiting to be fed into wood chippers while torn-out pages are cropped, scanned, and trashed.

Google patented a non-destructive book-scanning technology in 2009 that AI firms could use to efficiently scan books—if they were willing to slow down and invest in the process.

It’s not perfect, however; studies have found that the curve of the page can distort text, and pages can be missed.

Overall, the trade-offs in cost and speed may not appeal to AI firms looking for the cheapest way to scan millions of titles, and Google’s method may not be the best way to handle rare books anyway.

Google has revealed its Pixel phone hardware for 2026, and you won’t be surprised.

The Pixel 11 series looks a lot like last year’s lineup, featuring an evolution of the design Google adopted with the Pixel 9.

The new phones are joined by an updated Pixel Watch 5 with much the same story, as well as Google’s first in-house tracker device, the Pixel Tag.

Just as the leaks predicted, Google’s most notable hardware innovation for the 2026 Pixel phones is the return of the notification LED (sort of).

Notification LEDs can be useful, but the ones we had years back were infinitely more configurable.

Anyone on a call that involved screen sharing, whether participants or the host, would have been vulnerable to a silent attack that could be carried out with no indication and no interaction from the victim.

Formula E is set to make a big change in terms of visibility when season 12 gets underway this December.

It has signed a new multiyear deal to broadcast the sport on Disney+ and ESPN+ in 144 countries, with live coverage of each entire ePrix, from practice through qualifying to the race.

The new media deal means that here in the US, Formula E will be shown on ESPN+ from next season; since 2023, the sport has been shown live on Roku.

“This is a landmark moment for Formula E and reflects the incredible momentum behind our Championship,” said Formula E’s CEO Jeff Dodds.

More than 100 million US households subscribe to Roku (as of April this year), whereas ESPN+ has been losing subscribers sinc…

The first animals on Earth emerged about 600 million years ago, and 60 million years later, those simple early animals evolved into wildly different directions, branching out into a diverse menagerie of complicated new forms and conquering new ecological niches.

And it may have taken off because some of those early animals evolved a bizarre new ability: pooping.

According to a recent study, the first poo pellets helped spread nutrients to deeper parts of the ocean, fueling the evolution of bigger animals in more diverse ecosystems.

Without that biological pump, the deeper reaches of the ocean would be much less habitable than they are now.

Kimming and Bicknell argue that when animals evolve…

On Monday, passengers aboard Delta flight 591 going from Las Vegas to Atlanta allegedly spoofed the onboard Wi-Fi, raising the attention of federal law enforcement.

The incident came one day after the DEF CON security conference concluded in Las Vegas, and was first described on social media accounts that follow publicly available air-to-ground messages, known as ACARS.

According to the “ACARS Drama” account, a message was sent by pilots from the plane stated: “NO INFO AS OF NOW WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PAX THAT WERE AT A CYBER CONFERENCE IN LAS THEY WERE ABLE TO JAM OUR WIFI AND BROADCAST THEIR SIGNAL.”A description of the incident posted to Reddit further stated that these passengers created a …

Before Atari, there was Syzygy Engineering, and before Home Pong, there was the Computer Space arcade machine.

And then just a little bit after that, in July 1973 to be precise, there was the two-player Computer Space arcade cabinet.

Released to the public in late 1971, the single-player version of Computer Space is widely recognized as the first arcade video game.

Computer Space was a version of the 1962 PC combat game Spacewar!, and would later influence Asteroids.

A second iteration of the Computer Space arcade machine landed mid-1973, this time with two-player gameplay and two joysticks.

While frustrated users are already threatening to leave the platform, Minton was quick to point out that people may not have it better elsewhere.

Many other platforms rely on users' content for AI training and don't offer any kind of opt you.

Google, for example, has confirmed it uses YouTube content to train its AI models, including Gemini and Veo 3.

Meta also trains its models on Facebook and Instagram posts shared by users, including live streams, without an opt-out.

Minton also pointed out that there's a good chance that other AI labs are scraping and training on Twitch content and there's little that can be done about it.

Anthropic's Claude Cowork is now available as part of the company's Claude for Chrome browser extension.

It also allows tasks to be started in a Claude app and then continued in a Chrome browser or vice versa.

Claude Cowork was launched as a more streamlined option of those tools intended for layperson users, and the company recently added the capability to control it via smartphone.

Claude for Chrome rolled out to all Anthropic users in late 2025.

The Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) and The Intercept are suing President Donald Trump over Truth Social's recently announced Truth API, which gives paying subscribers early access to the president's posts.

"Truth API uses familiar, industry-standard delivery methods to deliver Truth Social posts to our customers in milliseconds," Trump Media said when announcing the feature last month.

Besides claiming Truth API violates the Constitution, the lawsuit also says the Truth API harms both the FPF and The Intercept.

By the company's logic, Trump's habit of making announcements and policy decisions via Truth Social posts is valuable information for investors.

Trump is "generally obligated …

As privacy blowback grows over Meta's smart glasses, one nonprofit is taking matters into its own hands.

German human rights group HateAid has filed a criminal complaint against Meta.

HateAid claims that Meta's smart glasses breach German privacy laws: specifically, the Telecommunications, Digital Services and Data Protection Act.

A Meta spokesperson told Politico EU, which first reported the story, that its smart glasses were "built with privacy safeguards from the ground up that go beyond what any smartphone offers."

However, several companies have begun selling aftermarket accessories designed to block the light without triggering Meta's safeguards.

FlightAware, the flight tracking company that sued Kalshi earlier this week, has apparently had a change of heart, Reuters reports.

A day after it filed its lawsuit claiming the prediction market platform was using flight data to run a gambling market, FlightAware withdrew it, voluntarily dismissing the case "without prejudice against all defendants."

Neither FlightAware or Kalshi have shared what might have changed in their relationship to lead to the lawsuit being withdrawn.

Whereas the company previously said flight cancellations were "verified from FlightAware," something FlightAware specifically took issue with in its lawsuit, now Kalshi says outcomes are "verified from Primary Source …

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a are still the latest earbuds in the company's roster, even though the Pro 2 earbuds are two years old and the 2a earbuds are almost a year old.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds are getting dynamic ANC, which will "adjust to compensate when subtle shifts in the seal happen."

Both models are also getting deeper Gemini integration, as the chatbot will be able to adjust the volume and make EQ changes on command.

Finally, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds are getting a new color.

For the uninitiated, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are Google's high-end earbuds and the 2a are the company's budget-friendly earbuds.

As of August 2026, OpenAI limits free accounts to using just one of its models: GPT-5.6 Luna.

Free accounts are also limited to just a single reasoning mode.

For free accounts, the Library has a 500MB limit.

ChatGPT's recently updated voice mode is available to free accounts, but it defaults to the smaller Live-1 mini model.

Lastly, free accounts can use OpenAI's Codex and Work tools, but usage is limited and in the case of the latter, the only way to access it is through the ChatGPT desktop app.

After announcing plans to wind down its MMO New World: Aeternum in October 2025, Amazon has shared that it'll also no longer publish MMOs Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty in the west, according to PC Gamer.

While Amazon won't be publishing either game, they will continue to be available in western markets.

In the case of Lost Ark, players will lose access to things like in-game mail and chat history, according to a blog on the game's website.

Both MMOs remaining active for existing players is a much more positive outcome than Amazon's own New World got.

Once Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty are handed off, Amazon will officially be out of the MMO game, a business it first entered in 2016 when…

Twitch has updated its account settings to let streamers opt out of letting Amazon (Twitch's parent) train generative AI models on their content.

The purpose of these models, Twitch says, "is to generate or synthesize text, audio, images or video."

Streamers' content may still be used for other AI- or machine learning-powered purposes, including automated captions.

This will also explain that Twitch and Amazon can still use your channel's content for other AI-powered features.

If you take part in another streamer's chat, their settings will dictate whether what you post there is used for genAI training.

The Honor Robot Phone has been on our radar for a while now and it's finally available to preorder, though just in China for now.

The "robot" in the name refers primarily to the automated pop-up camera gimbal, which does seem like a boon for photographers and videographers.

The rear setup includes a dual 200MP camera system, with a 200MP main lens and a 200MP telephoto lens.

The Robot Phone features a Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 chip with a custom-built cooling system and a beefy 7,060mAh battery.

As previously mentioned, the Honor Robot Phone is currently only available in China.

Not to be outdone, Apple is also rumored to be putting more life into the iPhone 18 Pro series when it is announced next month.

For years now, the basic iPhone colors have alternated between being nicely saturated and distinctive (see the iPhone 14 and 16) and so pale they can barely be called colors at all (the iPhone 15 was a particularly egregious example).

The Pro lineup, on the other hand, has almost always stuck with some variants of black, silver and gold.

There's usually a fourth option, like the iPhone 14 Pro in deep purple, but even those colors have been fairly muted.

That changed last year with the "cosmic orange" iPhone 17 Pro, a hue that feels almost copper in the right light.

HDMI switches, like network switches, allow you to connect more HDMI devices to your TV than you can out of the box.

If your TV only has two ports but you want to have four gadgets hooked up, you connect a switch to one port on your display, then plug the other units into the switch.

It's not great for an HDMI port to constantly have a connector plugged and unplugged; plus, the more often you do this, the higher the chance that you'll pull it out improperly.

Switches change inputs through automatic detection, buttons on the unit and/or a remote.

Definitely get a model with a remote, since getting up to change the signal every time is no fun.

The other major value of digital wallets comes from their security features.

In contrast, someone who steals your phone can't use your digital payment methods since they're protected by your device PIN or face/fingerprint scan.

However, digital wallets add another layer of security by storing a unique number for each card that's not tied to the real one.

If you lose your phone, you can mark it as such using the online portal to disable card access.

Finally, keeping your payment details in one wallet reduces your attack surface compared to typing them into every website you shop at.

They determined it weighed roughly 3.7 pounds (1.7 kilograms) at birth and 26.5 pounds (12 kg) when it died.

The team then compared this newborn-adult body mass ratio to other groups of living animals to see which group C. theotonicus most resembled.

This translates to very low newborn-adult body mass ratios of roughly 0.1% and 0.6%.

Larger birds like some cranes, pelicans, and vultures also exhibit low newborn-adult body mass ratios of around 1.3% to 4.5%.

“It is very probable that there was a general shift from egg laying to live birth in these cynodonts,” Gaetano said.

The Equalists in the TV show the Legend of Korra are anti-establishment militants who sometimes wear electrified gloves, in part to counteract the perceived unfair advantages of their adversaries.

The Equalists are villains, but like many well-written villains, they’re hard to hate.

Judging from marketing materials posted online by Peacekeeper Products International, which sells the G.L.O.V.E., these devices don’t seem like they’re for well-written villains.

ICE must issue them to agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO).

In FY 2024, ICE says there were 12, and in FY 2023 there were apparently four.

A Bloomberg investigation published last month claimed that Phia, a shopping startup co-founded by billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe Gates and her Stanford roommate Sophia Kianni, had been engaging in a shady online practice.

Similar accusations also befell PayPal-owned Honey back in 2024, leading to a class-action lawsuit.

Bloomberg is reporting that the issue was not due to a bug but an actual controllable feature named “enable coupon auto drop” on the internal dashboard.

Phia denied the allegations to Bloomberg, including that the revenue decline they suffered last month was solely due to the reversal of cookie stuffing.

If the Bloomberg reports are accurate, t…

Thus far in its short lifespan, the AI model Grok is probably best known for being used to mass-produce non-consensual nude images and for declaring itself MechaHitler.

But for those heavily invested in keeping tabs on the benchmarks of AI models, the release of Grok 4.6, which was made publicly available on Wednesday, might be compelling.

Grok’s return to the frontier race after lagging behind competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic for quite some time comes after the company partnered with and maybe acquired agentic coding company Cursor.

Grok 4.6 will first be available in Cursor, along with Grok Build, the xAI coding agent, starting immediately.

It’s theoretically good for an AI model to …

Way back in 2023, when James Gunn and Peter Safran first took over DC Studios, the pair announced a 10-project plan.

Two others that were part of that group were the Suicide Squad spinoff show called Waller and a Wonder Woman-themed show called Paradise Lost, but we just learned that they are no longer in active development.

There are also Superman spinoff shows in the works based on characters like Jimmy Olsen and Mister Terrific.

So as that corner of the DC Universe becomes the focus, other areas start to take a backseat.

Are you surprised Waller and Paradise Lost are on the back burner?

The smashing success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has Marvel feeling gleefully optimistic about Avengers: Doomsday as well as the X-Men movie coming down the line.

But those projects mean the screenwriters of Brand New Day, Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, had to approach the villain played by Sadie Sink with care.

The word is mostly out by now, but just in case…Sink plays Jean Grey, best-known to movie fans as a key member of the X-Men.

She’s complicated and has some dark (phoenix) tendencies, but generally she’s seen as one of the good guys.

In an interview published last week, Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton explained why Jean Grey was the right opponent for this chapter of S…

A high school football player recently had the misfortune of carrying something truly unexpected in his helmet: a two-foot-long potentially deadly venomous snake.

The strange incident occurred last week at Maumelle High School in Arkansas.

Animal services officials thankfully removed the snake without incident.

Maumelle Animal Services officials were called to the high school to extract the snake, though it didn’t cooperate easily.

And amazingly enough, the high school player didn’t take long to grab another helmet and return to practice.

American Horror Story season 13 will feature an all-star array of actors from the show’s previous seasons, bringing back their fan-favorite characters.

But what about Paulson’s character—or rather, dual characters—from Murphy’s personal favorite American Horror Story season?

“My favorite season is Roanoke, which is a lot of people’s least favorite season.

I felt really kind of trapped by my responsibility and my contractual obligation to do American Horror Story.

American Horror Story season 13 arrives September 24 on FX and Hulu.

The theory behind RuntimeWireMuch of the job of human reporters is pattern-recognition: spotting trends and connecting dots quicker than your competitors.

That means that LLMs, with their superhuman ability to detect signals from oceans of noisy data, are at least theoretically well-positioned to spot story ideas that might elude human journalists.

(An algorithm can scrutinize a companies’ tax records much more meticulously and quickly than a human can, for example.)

RuntimeWire is currently hiring for a contract-based “Startup News Writer” position, according to its website.

Project Hail Mary got its physical home release this week, and the movie will surely be returning to the pop culture conversation when awards season rolls around.

But in the meantime, Andy Weir, the author behind the story of Ryland Grace and Rocky, has another sci-fi project in the works: Exoplanet, an Audible sci-fi thriller that has his stamp of approval as executive producer.

And the cast includes another Marvel veteran, Anthony Mackie, along with The Odyssey‘s John Leguizamo and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose.

Separated by centuries, the crew must find a way to communicate across time itself before this world consumes them all.”In a press release, Weir shared his enthusiasm for the story.

And it’s not the intelligence agencies or law enforcement collecting it: it’s McDonald’s.

He reported that the app even kept track of every time he scanned a code as part of McDonald’s annual Monopoly game.

The Washington Post’s Geoffrey Fowler did something similar to Rogers last year, requesting the data Starbucks has on him via the CCPA.

The actual rewards part of so-called rewards programs has started to disappear, but these companies are collecting and selling more data than ever.

What happened to Willy Wonka after he gave all those kids Golden Tickets?

That’s at the heart of an upcoming animated movie that just put itself on the map in a big, big way.

Earlier this year, the lead voice roles of Taika Waititi as Willy Wonka and Kit Connor (yes, Cyclops himself) as Charlie were announced, and now, we have the full cast.

But one thing stands in his way: Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends.

Polymarket and several other prediction market platforms are in hot water again in New York City, this time over their fishiy marketing practices.

The New York City Council announced Wednesday that it has opened an investigation into major prediction market exchanges, focusing on their advertising in the city and potentially false, deceptive, or abusive tactics, particularly those targeting young people.

Council Speaker Julie Menin sent letters to Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Gemini Titan requesting information about their marketing strategies.

The industry is also fighting with state regulators over whether prediction markets facilitate gambling.

Gemini, now fully integrated into Pixel phones, was the star of the show at Made by Google.

Gemini Intelligence on the Pixel 11Google is banking on making Gemini a genuinely "useful" AI assistant, what Noah ironically likened to the mass adoption of GLP-1s.

The solution, in the company's eyes, is to upgrade Pixel phones with even more native Gemini Intelligence features.

Proactive Assistance generates automatic context, suggestions, informational windows, and even responses to information found in messages.

If your friend recommends a new restaurant, for example, Proactive Assistance will pull up its reviews, menu, and even directions.

In the meantime, if you're curious about exactly what you'll see tonight, we've compiled all the announcements Google revealed at its Pixel 11 launch event.

Here's a full rundown of what Google announced:The Pixel 11 Lineup, OverallGoogle introduced four new phones — the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — all built around a redesigned camera bar that now uses edge-to-edge glass flowing into a metal frame, according to Google's own product materials.

Creator Studio promises to help Facebook creators understand their audiences without getting lost in analytics.

On Aug. 12, the company officially rolled out its revamped Creator Studio, a stand-alone app that uses AI to help creators understand their performance, plan their next posts, and respond to followers.

You May Also LikeThe app is now available on iOS to Facebook creators in the United States and Canada.

At the center of the app is Facebook’s AI creator assistant, which the company first introduced in June.

If Meta gets its way, Creator Studio will become the app creators open before they open Facebook.

In the first half of 2026, customers spent $50.3 billion globally on TikTok Shop, according to a report by Tabcut and Momentum Works — a whopping 92 percent increase over the same period last year.

The U.S. has 1.35 million stores and 20 million influencers on TikTok Shop.

In a May 2026 Harris Poll, 63 percent of Gen Zers said they stopped buying from TikTok Shop.

As Mashable reported in Nov. 2025, TikTok Shop was reportedly inundated with 70 million sketchy products, partly due to AI.

It could also be due to the economy — though, maybe scrolling TikTok Shop and buying a little treat because you can't buy a house is a recession indicator.

Elon Musk's company SpaceXAI, formerly known as xAI, has released Grok 4.6, its latest frontier AI model, with a focus on long-running agents, coding and knowledge work — and a pricing strategy designed to make those workloads cheaper to run.The model scores 61 on the third-party Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, surpassing the popular open weights Chinese model from Moonshot, Kimi K3, and tying rival OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Max and improving five points over Grok 4.5 High.

Across 170 enterprises, AI infrastructure has moved decisively into production — two-thirds now run AI workloads live and three in 10 run them at scale — while the ability to account for what that infrastructure costs has not kept pace. Enterprises have quietly demoted cost in the buying decision: performance and GPU availability now outrank total cost of ownership, and reliability outranks price as the measure of success. That reordering is rational for teams under production pressure, but it lands on an uncomfortable fact — fewer than half can rigorously track what their AI compute costs, most GPUs still run at half capacity or less, and the next dollar is aimed at specialized clouds that…

Across 107 enterprises, agentic orchestration is not a choice of a single platform.The typical enterprise runs three orchestration platforms at once, and selects them for flexibility across models rather than affinity to any single one. Microsoft leads primary usage while Anthropic leads forward consideration by a wide margin. The AI control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid, meaning it includes use of the leading AI providers, but also provider-independent technologies — and the risk they fear most from provider-resident control is not lock-in but the provider’s own security and permissioning limits. One in five enterprises still has no real-time way to stop a runaway agent b…

Across 101 enterprises, the context feeding AI agents is failing often and repeatedly. Sixty-eight percent have traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context in the past six months, and the single most common answer is not "once" but "more than once." The counterintuitive part is which companies report it. Enterprises building or running a governed semantic layer (a layer of company-specific definitions and relationships) report recurring failures at more than twice the rate of those without one.The infrastructure built to fix bad context is, so far, mostly revealing how much bad context there is. Meanwhile the architecture meant to solve the problem …

Across 108 enterprises, trust in automated agent evaluation rose sharply in July — and the failure rate it is supposed to predict did not move at all. The share of organizations that fully trust automated evaluation nearly tripled, from 5% in June to 13%, and the complaint that evaluations don’t match real-world outcomes fell 10 points. Yet the same share as last month — just under half — shipped an agent that passed its evals and then failed a customer. The reason is visible in the cross-tabs: the new trust belongs almost entirely to enterprises that have not yet been burned. Among those that have, 4% trust automated evaluation; among those that haven’t, 24% do. And getting burned does not…

Across 116 enterprises, agents are in production and so are the incidents: A majority have already had a confirmed agent security event or a near-miss. Two-thirds of enterprises enforce scoped permissions at runtime. Barely one in five isolates its highest-risk agents, making containment the weakest layer in the stack precisely as autonomy scales. Credential sharing persists across nearly two-thirds of agent fleets, and 53% have already had a confirmed agent security event or near-miss, contributing to a growing lack of confidence in agentic security. Security stacks remain overwhelmingly borrowed from model providers and hyperscalers, and confidence has slipped. Today, as many enterprises …

SpaceXAI, the division of SpaceX formerly known as xAI, is launching an early beta version of Grok Bot, a new agent designed to move AI assistants beyond answering prompts and toward continuously executing work across the software employees already use.The central idea is straightforward: instead of opening an AI assistant whenever a task arises, users create persistent Bots with specific jobs, give them access to applications and websites, and delegate work much as they would to a teammate. Each Bot operates through its own computer environment, can continue working when the user's laptop is closed, and can return when it needs approval or has finished the assignment.SpaceXAI says the syst…

Presented by Rezolve AiWhen an AI assistant recommends a product or brand, it generates something valuable: a purchase-ready consumer with high intent and low friction in their decision. That consumer has already compared options, asked follow-up questions, and arrived at a conclusion. They want to buy.What they encounter next is a commerce infrastructure that was not designed for them.The gap between recommendation and purchaseThe typical enterprise commerce stack was built for a specific model: a consumer who arrives at a brand's website through search or a direct link, navigates product pages, adds to cart, and completes checkout through a multi-step form flow.

Enterprises running always-on AI agents keep hitting the same tradeoff. Send every task to a frontier model and the bill climbs fast. Build custom routing logic to send easy tasks to cheaper models and that becomes its own engineering project, one that has to be maintained every time a workflow changes.Nvidia is proposing a fix that touches both ends of that problem at once. The company is out on Tuesday with Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, a 30-billion-parameter open mixture-of-experts model built for high-volume, specialized agent tasks, alongside NeMo Switchyard, an open-source library that routes each step of an agent workflow to whichever model fits it best.The headline numbers: According to N…

Presented by SalesforceInterested buyers don't generate revenue. Live customers do. That's the lesson I keep drawing from watching hundreds of ISV partnerships navigate the agent economy over the last 18 months.The companies pulling ahead aren't winning on features. They're winning because customers can move from discovery to live deployment in hours, while competitors are still negotiating contracts, clearing tax reviews, and waiting on provisioning.That gap between a buyer who says “yes” and a customer who is actually using the product is where too many deals lose momentum. Urgency fades. Champions move on. Competitors get another opening.Gutenburg saw that gap firsthand. Healthcare organ…

Well, we're now at Sparky Linux 8, and the latest release (Seven Sisters .4 release - so 8.4) brings back 32-bit support.

I applaud the Sparky Linux developers for bringing back 32-bit support.

TL;DR The GDC 2026 survey shows 28% of game developers were laid off in two years and 36% now use generative AI.

28% of respondents to the 2026 Game Developers Conference State of the Game Industry survey said they had been laid off during the previous two years, while two-thirds of AAA respondents said their companies had experienced layoffs.

He later applied that engineering background to Gnarled Helix LLC, a roughly 10-person studio that grew from a side project he pursued while working at Boston Dynamics.

AI’s growing role in game development has also sharpened an older industry question: where does production efficiency end and creative authorship begin?

All four Pixel 11 models run Google’s Tensor G6 alongside a new Titan M3 security coprocessor that adopts NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standards, a first for a Google phone.

Every Pixel 11 ships with Google’s new Tensor G6, but the more interesting silicon sits next to it.

A new Titan M3 security coprocessor adopts the post-quantum cryptography standards set by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Google says the Pixel 11 is its first phone to meet them.

That runs Gemini Nano on device, which Google says now executes background work up to 3.5 times faster while using 3.5 times less energy.

Uber says it is not a live product and that its only teen offering remains 13 to 17.

Uber is building an option that would let children as young as 10 ride alone.

Code in the latest version of its iOS app refers to adding a “tween” aged 10 to 12 to an Uber Family profile, Bloomberg reported.

It also references background-checked drivers, pin verification and ride tracking, all of which already exist in the teen product.

Dropping the floor to 10 would put Uber up against HopSkipDrive, which has carried children as young as six for years.

Google has launched the Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and 11 Pro Fold with Gemini Intelligence acting across apps rather than sitting in a chatbot.

Google has launched the Pixel 11 line with Gemini at the centre of it, weeks before Apple ships a rebuilt Siri running on Google’s own models.

The range covers the Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and 11 Pro Fold.

Counterpoint Research puts AI around sixth or seventh among reasons people upgrade, up one or two places as Gemini and Apple Intelligence have improved.

Pathak also expects Apple Intelligence to drive upgrades, because Apple already has more generative AI-capable phones in people’s hands than any other brand.

Trust in social media is slowly eroding, even as global engagement continues to rise.

After more than 15 years studying digital ecosystems, Loud does not frame the current state of social media as a failure of intent.

Loud believes the next generation of social media will be shaped by a different competitive advantage.

This philosophy underpins the creation of Pin-Social, which Loud calls a framework for what social media can become.

“The next era of social media will be defined by the incentives platforms choose to reward,” Loud says.

Sundar Pichai announced on Tuesday that the Gemini app had passed a billion monthly users.

A monthly billion and a weekly billion are different animalsChatGPT reached a billion monthly users on 3 June, which we reported as the fastest any app had got there.

Google’s AI Mode in Search separately passed a billion monthly users, TechCrunch reports.

A billion monthly users is roughly one in eight people alive.

Rising memory costs hit cheaper smartphones hardestAccording to Counterpoint Research, combined US smartphone sales for Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and Google fell 4% year over year in Q2 2026, while sales across the rest of the market plunged 45% as smaller manufacturers struggled with rising component costs.

From the report:We expect smartphone ASPs to continue to increase in Q3 2026, as Apple is expected to increase prices for its iPhone 18 series models.

Given that Apple historically accounts for over 50% of smartphone sales in the third quarter, price increases for top models will have a large effect on smartphone ASPs.

В этом году, как вы понимаете, интерес существенно бОльший.Я не понимаю, чем людям помешали эти ставки, единственная идея — сейчас сильно больше шансы на "манипуляцию", т.е. ради высокой выплаты можно попытаться что-нибудь взорвать.🔗 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/04/polymarket-shelves-nuclear-detonation-markets-after-outcry
