Но в СССР гражданских джамбо‑джетов не водилось, да и размеры груза были другие.

Вроде перспективного Ан-124 «Руслан» от КБ Антонова, но в конце 70-х он еще только строился.

Внутрь не влезло, не хватило прочности и места.

Теоретически Ан-22 мог поднять около 60 тонн, но с этой бочкой на спине он становился неуправляемым.

Огромный макет шаттла на спине не пострадал, его благополучно сняли кранами, а вот самолету понадобился серьезный ремонт до ноября.

На что уходит бюджет AI: 64% на картинки, 36% на текстЯкоб Нильсен проводил исследование, что только 20% населения могут нормально сформулировать промпт.

В общем, заходите, расскажу, что реальные люди, если не бить их палкой, в реальном мире делают с LLM.

Это не статистика — это бизнес-модель OpenAI.

Один провайдер — это не стратегия, это лотерея.

То же с дорогими моделями и 4 картинками за раз — люди учатся на своих ошибках, а не на чужих видео.

А тогда, в конце 80-х, слово «выставка» у меня стойко ассоциировалось с чем-то художественно-изобразительным, но уж точно не с компьютерами и технологиями.

В детстве и юности не осознаёшь и не ценишь такие вещи.

И там было, на что посмотреть и что почитать.

Всё в духе соглашения о культурном обмене, которое Рейган подписал с Горбачёвым в 1985 году в Женеве и в рамках которого, собственно, и была организована эта выставка.

Ну а заканчивается всё тем, что классик фантастики «рад, что не поддался минутному порыву выкинуть компьютер из окна».

Не загромождайте экран излишними окнами, не перегружайте внимание пользователя сложными иконками и не частите ими в диалоговых окнах.

Иконки должны вносить различиеОсновная задача иконки в том, чтобы вы могли быстрее находить нужный предмет.

Но иногда он означает «Show completed»:А вот эта иконка иногда означает «Import»:А иногда «Updates»:Та же проблема, что и в случае рассогласованности.

Но они считают, что в одном месте символы карандаша в рамке и плюса должны означать одно, а в другом — другое, и что я должен уметь различать тонкие детали.

Это и элементы управления окнами, и кнопки масштабирования, и курсоры, и хоткеи, да и многое другое.

В начале 2026 года в Шанхае запустили инженерную демонстрационную линию по выпуску процессоров на основе дисульфида молибдена.

Пока флагманские процессоры насчитывают миллиарды транзисторов и работают на гигагерцевых частотах, этот чип функционирует на килогерцах и потребляет всего около 0,43 милливатта.

Параллельно отмечаются преимущества дисульфида молибдена в радиационной стойкости и механической гибкости, что делает его интересным для применения в жестких условиях.

Не из гуманизма, а из семейных чувств: он опасался, что от бомб может пострадать кто-то из его родственников среди членов британской королевской семьи.

Хуже того, военные самолёты поднимались в воздух на перехват, но не смогли даже найти немецкие дирижабли в воздухе.

Всё прошло как нельзя успешнее для немцев (и печально для французов с англичанами), и с тех пор часть новых дирижаблей для армии оборудовались наблюдательными гондолами.

Хотя применять их удавалось не так часто, так как для реализации идеи, как оказалось, подходила далеко не всякая облачность.

Дымящаяся машина быстро снижалась, и в итоге рухнула в лес, при этом погибли четверо членов экипажа.

Всё что вам для этого надо - зажать молоток между колен, приставить находящееся сзади выходное отверстие к месту забивание гвоздя и присесть.

Для вашего удобства, молоток использует исключительно трёхгранные титановые гвозди с правой закруткой, что позволяет надёжно вбивать их в любые воображаемые поверхности.

Все эти уроки связаны с паттернами, которые продолжают встречаться раз за разом — в каждом проекте и в каждой команде.

Но в таких случаях мастерство проявляется не в том, чтобы всегда оказываться правым.

Энергию, потраченную на то, что вы не в силах изменить, можно потратить на то, что вам подвластно.

И дело не в ностальгии, а в осознании того, что в один прекрасный момент абстракция рухнет, и вы окажетесь один на один с системой в 3 утра.

И секрет не в том, чтобы «усердно трудиться», а в том, чтобы «осознанно делать выбор в пользу тех или иных ценностей».

Технологии сверхбольших языковых моделей (LLM) открыли путь к созданию цифровых реплик личности — процессам, известным как сайдлоадинг (загрузка живого человека) и оффлоадинг (воскрешение умершего).

Он не только развивает теоретическую базу, но и на практике создаёт как собственную цифровую копию, так и модели своих близких и исторических личностей.

Распознай и запиши в текстовом виде абсолютно все произнесённые слова, не пропуская, не суммируя и не обобщая содержание.

А сама Евгения вышла снова замуж и родила детей — и это совпало по времени с отключением RomanMazurenko.

Вывод: работающая модель будущегоСайдлоадинг и оффлоадинг — это не фантастика, а работающая, хотя и сырая, технология.

И поэтому Linux на десктопе в 2026 году субъективно кажется лучше и удобнее, чем раньше, хотя ничего не изменилось.

Даже Windows-игры теперь под Linux работают быстрее, чем под Windows.

В 2025 году доля Linux на десктопах в США впервые в истории превысила 5%.

Как уже было сказано, FPS игр при запуске под Linux обычно больше, чем под Windows.

Самые популярные дистрибутивы Linux в 2026 годуПо статистике Steam, самые популярные дистрибутивы среди обычных пользователей — это дистрибутивы на Arch и Ubuntu.

Дополнительным бонусом служило то что такой радар был чрезвычайно мобилен и мог без большого труда сопровождать американские ударные группы.

Как и ожидали британцы немцы и японцы тоже практически сразу после этого стали применять ее и в своих налетах.

Наконец chaff был достаточно чувствителен к длине волны радара и не мог эффективно блокировать все диапазоны частот одновременно.

Подобные радары определяют положение цели быстро вращая в пространстве луч радара и выбирая то направление в котором отраженный сигнал сильнее.

Отражатель периодически то включался то выключался и метка на экране радара как бы "мигала" становясь то ярче то более тусклой.

Здесь у нас и технологии жидкостного охлаждения, развитие продуктов на базе AMD, и компоненты демократичных сегментов.

Не потому, что это плохая работа, а потому что это не то, чем хотел бы заниматься.

Но я и не искал лёгких путей — и выбрал именно этот.

Те, кто не умеет учиться регулярно и не доводят задачи до конца, одинаково тяжело вписываются в профессию и в 20 лет, и в 55.

Но я знаю немало людей, которые покупают курсы и не проходят их — выдержать месяцы и годы монотонного труда могут немногие.

Большинство отваливается не потому, что не справилось интеллектуально, а потому, что устали ждать результата.

Новинка, очевидно, вдохновлена iPhone Air, но оказалась толще конкурента — 6,1 против 5,6 мм.

HONOR продолжает черпать вдохновение в Apple: в начале года был представлен оранжевый Power 2, а теперь тонкий смартфон.

Над названием, судя по всему, не думали очень долго.

Характеристики звучат отлично, но надо смотреть, что выйдет на практике.

Стартовая цена на новинку в Китае — от 5000 юаней (около 56 тысяч рублей).

В первые недели 2026-го финансовые форумы заполонили жалобы о необоснованных блокировках карт и счетов.

В прошлом году число блокировок в месяц достигало примерно 330 000 случаев, а тут за пару недель — и несколько миллионов.

Как считают эксперты, в ближайшем будущем доля необоснованных блокировок может даже вырасти.

По некоторым оценкам, на это понадобится около полугода.

По данным регулятора, с 1 по 19 января поступило всего 7431 обращение.

За 2025 год объём рынка новых смартфонов сократился на 19−25 %, — пишут «Ведомости».

«Платформа ОФД» сообщает, что медианная цена смартфона в 2025 году снизилась до 25 309 рублей — это на 4 % меньше, чем в прошлом году.

Общее число купленных устройств уменьшилось на 13 %.

В «М.Видео» пользователи сдали на 292 % больше смартфонов, чем годом ранее.

Но, если где-то убыло, значит, где-то прибыло: на 10 % вырос оборот новых и б/у смартфонов на «Авито», то есть россияне стали чаще покупать устройства на вторичке или у серовозов.

По данным китайского анонимного инсайдера, скрывающегося на Weibo под ником «Старый Чен Эйр», OPPO вставит в следующий флагманский OnePlus батарею примерно на 9000 мА•ч.

Инсайдер хоть и не очень много утечек опубликовал, однако все они оказывались правдивы.

Вот, например, HONOR представила в начале января Power 2 с аккумулятором на 10 тысяч мА•ч.

В ассортименте OnePlus есть Turbo 6 с аккумулятором на 9000 мА•ч.

Но не значит ли, что аккумулятор на 9000 мА•ч приведёт к ещё большему даунгрейду?

Через несколько дней после выхода первого в 2026 году обновления безопасности для ОС Microsoft выпустила заплатку, которая устраняет проблемное выключение компьютеров, — сообщает The Verge.

ПК на Windows 11 23H2 и включённым «Безопасным запуском» после получения патча KB5073455 вместо выключения и перехода в спящий режим перезагружались.

Кроме того, юзеры Windows 11 версии 25H2 и Windows Server 2025 сообщали о невозможности подключиться к удалённому рабочему столу.

Подождав пока народ взбесится , 17 января Microsoft выпустила внеплановый фикс.

Редактор The Verge подметил, что раньше такое было чем-то из ряда вон выходящим, а сейчас стало нормой.

Регулятор хочет внедрить инструменты машинного обучения в механизм фильтрации трафика, — сообщает Forbes.

С его помощью РКН сможет эффективнее блокировать «зеркала» запрещённых ресурсов и VPN.

А вот эксперты, опрошенные Forbes, оказались более сговорчивыми.

Они пояснили, что новый метод фильтрации трафика поможет в выявлении зашифрованных данных, когда обычные DPI-решения уже не справляются.

Кроме того, он также позволит блокировать нежелательные сервисы и сайты точечно вместо привычного «коврового» способа.

Finally… приложение научилось в реальном времени транслировать вашу геопозицию другим пользователям.

Расшерить свою геопозицию близким можно на 15 минут, час, 8 часов, сутки или бессрочно.

Другие, видя вашу точку, могут проложить маршрут и добраться до неё не только пешком, но и на общественном транспорте, такси или самокате.

Отключить передачу локации можно, перейдя в свой профиль и тыкнув на вкладку «Геопозиция».

Функция уже доступна всем пользователям «Яндекс Карт» на iOS и Android.

Интересно, что на недавнем мероприятии в Китае посетители встретили постер The Division: Definitive Edition, о которой нет никакой информации.

Игровая индустрия настолько очистилась, что в неё вернулся отец игр про Алису — Американ Макги.

Двумя неделями ранее компания аккуратно предупредила партнёров, что не планирует выпускать новые смартфоны в 2026 году.

За осторожной формулировкой, как выяснилось, стоит полное закрытие мобильного направления.

«Ставим всё на ИИ», — коротко подтвердил уход с рынка председатель совета директоров ASUS Чун Тан Ши.

Компания сохранит сеть сервисных центров и продолжит выпускать обновления для актуальных смартфонов, но все расходы на прототипирование и разработку новых устройств в срочном порядке перебросит на более востребованные направления.

Вероятно, одним из первых ИИ-гаджетов ASUS станет AR-гарнитура, разрабатываемая в партнёрстве с XREAL.

OpenAI добавит рекламные объявления прямиком в окно чат-бота: на просьбу подсказать кулинарный рецепт искусственный интеллект подкинет опции доставки продуктов на дом, а на вопросы о другой стране даст ссылку на сервис бронирования отелей.

Терпеть рекламные объявления придётся не только бесплатным пользователям, но и подписчикам самого дешёвого тарифа ChatGPT GO, за него просят $8 в месяц.

Появление рекламы было делом времени: создатели ChatGPT взяли на себя финансовые обязательства на общую сумму $1 трлн — примерно столько OpenAI должна будет заплатить NVIDIA, AMD и Broadcom в течение следующих десяти лет за предоставленное железо.

По данным Financial Times, самый известный в мире ИИ-старт…

Инсайдер Джон Проссер представил, как будут выглядеть новые бордовые «Прошки» с подэкранным Face ID: новинку пророчат ещё со времён iPhone 16.

К рендерам Проссера стоит относится скептически: инсайдер не видел прототип устройства вживую и лишь воссоздал его на основе утечек.

К тому же он совсем забыл про время: иконка с часами, поселившаяся в левом углу со времён iPhone X, попросту отсутствует на изображениях.

До анонса смартфона остаётся больше полугода, так что Apple может успеть внести финальные штришки в дизайн устройства.

Ну а вы признавайтесь, мечтали бы купить iPhone с круглым вырезом вместо динамического островка?

Совсем скоро Apple представит MacBook Pro на M5 Pro и M5 Max.

По данным корейского инсайдера yeux1122, Samsung Display уже запустила массовую штамповку OLED-панелей, которые станут основой экранов первого макбука с тачскрином.

Ранее все ожидали, что тесты займут больше времени, а в массовое производство экраны пойдут не раньше второго квартала 2026 года.

И сами макбуки на M6 Pro и M6 Max должны появиться в продаже в конце этого года – начале следующего.

Марк Гурман из Bloomberg утверждает, что Apple освежит ещё и дизайн лэптопа.

С 2021 года комиссия по конкуренции Индии (CCI) ведёт антимонопольное расследование в отношении Apple.

И Индия сможет использовать глобальный оборот компании для расчёта штрафов и взыскать с неё $38 млрд.

А CCI с октября 2024 года ждёт от Apple возражений против результатов расследования, а также финансовые данные, которые можно использовать для расчёта штрафов.

Apple же получает отсрочку за отсрочкой, и в комиссии полагают, что это намеренное затягивание.

Reuters пишет, что внутри компании считают, что CCI своим ультиматумом пытается сорвать рассмотрение дела в суде.

HR и сотрудники служб безопасности крупных компаний активно чекают возможных сотрудников в OnlyFans.

Точнее, смотрят, чтобы их там не было.

Об этом сообщает «Газета.ру».

Компрометирующим может стать не только факт распространения платного контента на платформе, но и наличие аккаунта в принципе.

Эксперт, опрошенный изданием, отмечает, что регистрация на OnlyFans уже не раз становилась предметом скандальных историй в прессе и никакой компании такой пиар не нужен.

Оператор системы «Честный знак» — ЦРПТ, РВБ (Wildberries & Russ) и Ozon подписали стратегический документ о переходе маркетплейсов к системе регулирования оборота продукции.

Изменения коснутся только товаров, подлежащих обязательной маркировке, сообщает пресс-служба Wildberries.

В случае отсутствия маркировки или несоответствия требованиям карточки товаров будут блокироваться.

По словам сторон, такой подход позволит снизить долю товаров с нарушениями без дополнительной нагрузки на добропорядочных селлеров.

При этом Wildberries и Ozon подчёркивают, что изменения в подходах к контролю и проверкам начнут внедряться ещё до вступления закона в силу.

Продуктовый ритейлер «ВкусВилл» запустил новый формат придорожных кафе под брендом «ВкусВилл в пути».

Инвестиции в проект «ВкусВилл в пути» могут достигать 400 млн ₽Первая точка проекта «ВкусВилл в пути» открылась в конце ноября на 35-м километре Минского шоссе, сообщил изданию Forbes представитель компании.

По словам представителя компании, в течение 2026 года «ВкусВилл» планирует открыть от 15 до 20 точек «ВкусВилл в пути» в разных форматах — от фудтраков и павильонов до других строений площадью от 30 до 50 кв.

По итогам 2025 года столичные девелоперы отложили ввод почти 50% офисных площадей, анонсированных в начале года.

По данным «Ведомостей», это стало максимальным показателем с 2015 года как по площади, так и по объёму.

Руководитель департамента офисной недвижимости компании Ирина Хорошилова заявила «Ведомостям», что рекорд установлен одновременно по двум показателям — и по метрам, и по доле проектов.

Партнёр инвестиционно-консалтинговой компании Ricci Дмитрий Жидков рассказал «Ведомостям», что в раньше переносилось около 40% объектов.

После почти 10 лет с момента публикации ветки 3.0 и спустя 20 лет после основания проекта состоялся релиз JavaScript-библиотеки jQuery 4.0, используемой по данным организации W3Techs на 70.9% из 10 млн наиболее посещаемых сайтов в сети. Код jQuery распространяется под лицензией MIT.

Опубликован очередной еженедельный отчёт о разработке KDE, в котором представлена первая порция изменений для ветки KDE Plasma 6.7, релиз которой ожидается в июне. Развитие новой ветки началось после перевода ветки KDE Plasma 6.6 на стадию бета-тестирования и заморозке связанной с ней кодовой базы от внесения функциональных изменений (допускается только приём исправлений). Релиз KDE Plasma 6.6 намечен на 17 февраля.

Исследователи из команды Google Project Zero подробно разобрали технику создания рабочего эксплоита, позволяющего удалённо выполнить свой код с правами ядра Linux, через отправку SMS- или RCS-сообщения со специально оформленным звуковым вложением.

Некоммерческий удостоверяющий центр Let's Encrypt, контролируемый сообществом и предоставляющий сертификаты безвозмездно всем желающим, начал выдавать бесплатные сертификаты для IP-адресов, а также предоставил возможность получения TLS-сертификатов, время жизни которых ограничено 160 часами (6 днями). 13 мая намерены добавить поддержку опциональной выдачи сертификатов, действующих 45 дней. В соответствии с ранее объявленным планом 10 февраля 2027 года максимальный срок действия сертификатов будет сокращён с 90 до 64 дней, а 16 февраля 2028 года - до 45 дней.

Представлен первый альфа-выпуск среды рабочего стола GNOME 50. Релиз намечен на 18 марта 2026 года. Для тестирования альфа-версии GNOME 50 сформирован iso-образ (3 ГБ) на базе дистрибутива GNOME OS.

Компания Collabora подготовила инструментарий openwrt-one-debian для установки и запуска Debian GNU/Linux на открытом маршрутизаторе OpenWrt One.

Инструментарий позволяет превратить OpenWrt One из специализированного сетевого устройства с урезанным Linux-окружением в полноценную Linux-систему общего назначения, среди прочего, позволяющую запускать любые сервисы, серверные приложения, инструменты для разработчиков и изолированные контейнеры.

Работа инструментария сводится к прошивке во встроенный 256-мегабайтный NAND Flash загрузчика u-boot и recovery-окружения для установки и загрузки системного образа Debian на NVMe-накопитель, подключённый через слот M.2.

Команда сопровождающих Debian, отвечающих за пакеты с GNOME, планирует не поставлять инструментарий GTK2 в составе дистрибутива Debian 14, релиз которого ожидается летом 2027 года. Разработчики проекта GTK прекратили сопровождение GTK2 более пяти лет назад и сопровождение заброшенного GTK2 в основном репозитории становится проблематичным. Из дистрибутивов, уже прекративших поставку GTK2, отмечаются Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16, openSUSE 16 и Arch Linux. Debian предлагается последовать их примеру.

После двух лет разработки представлен стабильный релиз модульного многоплатформенного менеджера загрузки GNU GRUB 2.14 (GRand Unified Bootloader). GRUB поддерживает широкий спектр платформ, включая обычные ПК с BIOS, платформы IEEE-1275 (оборудование на базе PowerPC/Sparc64), EFI-системы, системы с процессорами RISC-V, Loongson, Itanium, ARM, ARM64, LoongArch и ARCS (SGI), устройства, использующие свободный пакет CoreBoot. Код проекта написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией GPLv3.

h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, delivered a total of 279,449 cars to customers around the world in 2025.

In 2025, 34.4 per cent of Porsche cars delivered worldwide were electrified (+7.4 percentage points), with 22.2 per cent being fully electric and 12.1 per cent being plug-in hybrids.

After record deliveries in 2024, the Overseas and Emerging Markets also largely maintained its previous-year levels, with 54,974 cars delivered (-1 per cent).

In Europe (excluding Germany), Porsche delivered 66,340 cars by the end of the year, down 13 per cent year-on-year.

In China, 41,938 cars were delivered to customers (-26 per cent).

Is the Constitution really up to the task of preserving democracy in this moment?

Or is it, as the title of a Wednesday evening discussion asked, “broken”?

To Rana, a Boston College professor who last year published The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document that Fails Them, the Constitution is, indeed, broken.

And this arrangement is partly why the U.S. Constitution is among the hardest in the world to amend.

Earlier, in the 1850s, Frederick Douglass, who had previously condemned the Constitution as irreparably broken and immoral because of its compromises on slavery, changed course, writing that the document, if correctly interpreted, must be read to abolish slavery.

Reticulum Network StackThis repository is a public mirror.

Reticulum is the cryptography-based networking stack for building local and wide-area networks with readily available hardware.

As an example, it's possible to set up a Raspberry Pi connected to both a LoRa radio, a packet radio TNC and a WiFi network.

The best way to get started with the Reticulum Network Stack depends on what you want to do.

The most important consequence however, is the potential loss of security by using primitives that has not seen the same amount of scrutiny, testing and review as those from OpenSSL.

Here’s what I’ve noticed since then: the heyday of social media feels like it’s behind us.

How I Think About Social Media NowI’m not scrolling feeds endlessly anymore.

With that said, social media still works for connections.

Here’s where I think we’ve lost the plot though: we’ve forgotten that coffee with friends to catch up beats any social media interaction.

Use social media when it serves a purpose.

I've seen this first hand in my conversations with dozens of friends and across more than 100 job interviews.

Here is my response to these people: you can drastically increase your odds of getting a job by making targeted bets rather than broadly applying and hoping something sticks.

Let's assume that a targeted bet increases your chances of getting a job from 1% to 10%.

Targeted bets beyond job searchesTargeted bets apply to more than just the job search.

The Real UpsideThe glory in making targeted bets is that you get to spend more time on the things that you really care about.

It’s been nearly three years now since Destiny maker (and Sony subsidiary) Bungie formally announced a revival of the storied Marathon FPS franchise.

Unlike Destiny 2, which transitioned to a free-to-play model in 2019, the new Marathon sells for $40 in a Standard Edition or a $60 Deluxe Edition that includes some digital rewards and cosmetics.

Mac power users waiting on new high-end MacBook Pro models may have been disappointed last fall, when Apple released an M5 upgrade for the low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro without touching the M4 Pro or Max versions of the laptop.

The tea-leaf readers at MacRumors noticed that shipping times for a handful of high-end MacBook Pro configurations have slipped into mid-to-late February, rather than being available immediately as most Mac models are.

Elon Musk is going for some substantial damages in his lawsuit accusing OpenAI of abandoning its nonprofit mission and “making a fool out of him” as an early investor.

On Friday, Musk filed a notice on remedies sought in the lawsuit, confirming that he’s seeking damages between $79 billion and $134 billion from OpenAI and its largest backer, co-defendant Microsoft.

The eye-popping damage claim shocked OpenAI and Microsoft, which could also face punitive damages in a loss.

For example, Wazzan allegedly ignored that Musk left OpenAI after leadership did not agree on how to value Musk’s contributions to the nonprofit.

But that never happened, so it’s unclear why Musk would be owed damages base…

Asus chairman Jonney Shih has now confirmed the wind-down of its smartphone business during an event in Taiwan.

So don’t expect a new Zenfone or ROG Phone from Asus in 2026.

That said, very few phone buyers were keeping tabs on the latest Asus phones anyway, which is probably why Asus is throwing in the towel.

However, ROG Phones are even more expensive than Samsung’s flagship devices, with the most recent ROG Phone 9 Pro starting at $1,200.

Existing Asus devices should continue to get updates, but Asus never took the lead there.

Or why not offer discounted access to a streaming-only Game Pass subscription for players willing to watch occasional ads, like Netflix?

I have been writing about the Giant Magellan Telescope for a long time.

Nearly two decades ago, for example, I wrote that time was “running out” in the race to build the next great optical telescope on the ground.

This leaves the Magellan telescope.

Far Side fans might recall a classic 1982 cartoon called “Cow Tools,” featuring a cow standing next to a jumble of strange objects—the joke being that cows don’t use tools.

That’s why a pet Swiss brown cow in Austria named Veronika has caused a bit of a sensation: she likes to pick up random sticks and use them to scratch herself.

But the biggest surprise came when birds were observed using tools in the wild.

In the wild, observed tool use has been limited to the corvids (crows and jays), which show a variety of other complex behaviors—they’ll remember your face and recognize the passing of their dead.

Interestingly, today’s AI coding agents feel much the same way.

Throughout my life, I have dabbled in programming as a utilitarian coder, writing small tools or scripts when needed.

In my web development career, I wrote some small tools from scratch, but I primarily modified other people’s code for my needs.

Since 1990, I’ve programmed in BASIC, C, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Ruby, MUSHcode, and some others.

Creating durable production code, managing a complex project, or crafting something truly novel still requires experience, patience, and skill beyond what today’s AI agents can provide on their own.

The global cost of greenhouse gas emissions is nearly double what scientists previously thought, according to a study published Thursday by researchers at the University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Rackspace’s new pricing for its email hosting services is “devastating,” according to a partner that has been using Rackspace as its email provider since 1999.

In recent weeks, Rackspace updated its email hosting pricing.

Businesses can also pay for the Rackspace Email Plus add-on for an extra $2/mailbox/month (for “file storage, mobile sync, Office-compatible apps, and messaging”), and the Archiving add-on for an extra $6/mailbox/month (for unlimited storage).

The last time Rackspace increased Laughing Squid’s email prices was by 55 percent in 2019, he said.

Online, there are reports of Rackspace partners being quoted email pricing increases of 110 percent to nearly 500 percent.

The operator of WorldCat won a default judgment against Anna’s Archive, with a federal judge ruling yesterday that the shadow library must delete all copies of its WorldCat data and stop scraping, using, storing, or distributing the data.

Anna’s Archive is a shadow library and search engine for other shadow libraries that was launched in 2022.

Anna’s Archive lost its .org domain a couple of weeks ago but remains online at other domains.

OCLC alleged that Anna’s Archive “illegally hacked WorldCat.org” to steal 2.2TB of data.

Anna’s Archive, which bills itself as “the world’s largest shadow library,” did not respond to the lawsuit and doesn’t seem likely to comply with the judgment.

Pioneering mathematician Dr. Gladys West has passed away at the age of 95.

ASUS appears to be shifting its business operations away from smartphones.

According to translations of recent quotes from Chairman Jonney Shih, the company does not plan to release new phone models in the future.

Previous reports hinted that ASUS would not introduce any smartphones in 2026, but Shih's recent comments indicate that the pause may stretch longer than a year.

The UK Gambling Commission has raised concerns that Meta is ignoring advertisements by illegal gambling websites on its platforms.

At a conference in Barcelona, the commission's Executive Director Tim Miller criticized Meta's behavior towards advertisements for online gambling on its Facebook and Instagram social networks.

Meta's internal policy is that gambling sites must be licensed in the markets where their ads run.

However, the agency was able to conduct basic searches for advertisers that are not on its GamStop platform, which helps people block themselves from accessing online gambling sites.

With the spring approaching, it's time to start thinking about how you'll file your taxes.

Unfortunately, with the recent demise of Direct File , there isn't a free, government-provided alternative to TurboTax in 2026, and you'll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File , to file your paperwork.

If you don't qualify for Free File, chances are you'll need to dish out cash for Intuit's software.

That gets you $35 off software that normally costs $80, which you can use to file both your individual state and federal taxes.

One last thing to note: you'll need a PC with either Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma to run the software, so an older machine won't do, unfortunately.

Marathon, Bungie's long-awaited extraction shooter, will arrive on March 5, the studio announced today.

News of that date leaked early Monday after Microsoft published the pre-order trailer you see above early.

It's safe to say Marathon could decide the future of the studio.

Six years after the announcement of plans to build Atari Hotels in eight cities across the US, including Las Vegas, only one now seems to be moving forward, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Phoenix was always meant to be the first site, followed by other hotels in Austin, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle.

Amazon is reportedly adding Teresa Palmer (The Fall Guy, Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge) to its pantheon of Norse gods for its God of War TV show adaptation.

As first reported by Deadline, Palmer will play Sif, Thor's wife and eventual leader of the Aesir, in the live-action adaptation.

In God of War Ragnarok, Sif is known as Odin's diplomat before the events of Ragnarok, where she becomes the new leader of the Aesir, one of two tribes of Norse gods.

Notably, Amazon's adaptation is still missing the casting confirmations for Atreus, Thor, Odin and many other Norse gods seen in the video game.

Even so, the God of War TV show has already secured at least two seasons.

As first spotted by Business Insider, the app is designed exactly like TikTok, but instead of trendy dance videos, you can scroll through and watch "micro dramas."

For those new to the category, micro dramas are bite-sized TV shows shot in vertical video and available in minute-long episodes.

Right now, the micro dramas on PineDrama are all free to watch and don't have any ads.

Late last year, TikTok also introduced a way to watch micro dramas within its own app, with a section called Minis.

It's not the first time we're seeing shorter TV show formats, since Quibi made waves with a format of episodes that were less than 10 minutes long.

We now have some idea of what's at stake in the longstanding feud between Elon Musk and OpenAI.

As first reported by Bloomberg, the latest filing, as part of a lawsuit that accuses the AI giant of abandoning its non-profit status, claims that Musk is owed anywhere between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from the "wrongful gains" of OpenAI and Microsoft.

According to Wazzan's calculations, OpenAI earned between $65.5 billion and $109.43 billion in wrongful gains, while Microsoft saw between $13.3 billion and $25.06 billion.

The lawsuit between Elon Musk and OpenAI dates back to March 2024, when the xAI CEO first filed a legal action claiming that OpenAI violated its non-profit status…

Bonta’s office demands that xAI immediately cease and desist from creating “digitized sexually explicit material” when the depicted individual didn’t consent to it or if the individual is a minor.

xAI also moved Grok’s image-generating features behind a paywall and geoblocked paying users’ ability to edit images of real people into bikinis, but only in regions where it’s illegal.

In his announcement, Bonta said xAI developed a “spicy mode” for Grok to generate explicit content and used it as a marketing point.

The California AG also said that Grok-generated sexual images are being used to harass both public figures and ordinary users.

“The actions above violate California law, including Cal…

But something that was an inevitability can still suck when it finally happens, and it really sucks to see the experimental edge of Galaxy’s Edge give way to broad nostalgia for a singularly specific kind of Star Wars.

Although still significant in what they represent, much of what’s being done to transform Galaxy’s Edge to a celebration of the original movies is broadly cosmetic.

Even then, what Galaxy’s Edge has lost over the years—and will lose even more significantly when these changes come in—isn’t so much being destroyed but more being painted over, with a sma…

Paradex, which is a decentralized crypto exchange (DEX) built as an appchain on top of Ethereum layer-two network Starknet, recently experienced a technical glitch that resulted in bitcoin being priced at $0, according to a report in The Block.

As a result, a large number of unwarranted liquidations took place, as Paradex operates as a perpetuals exchange.

A crypto perpetuals exchange is a type of financial platform where all trades are effectively leveraged positions held in perpetual futures contracts (oftentimes called perps) based on the user’s collateral.

The use of a rollback is particularly controversial in crypto, as it oftentimes exposes the lack of true decentralization in vario…

The following year, we learned it would have a pretty stacked cast of voice actors, including Ashley Johnson and Elijah freaking Wood.

Its premise, like the game, is a crew of strangers on a spaceship who must vote on which among them is a Gnosia.

“Gnosia” is basically the made-up anime jargon name for an Among Us imposter.

It also doesn’t hurt that its characters, save for a rare few, have pretty striking designs, making them appealing to any anime fan.

The show is also pretty clever in how it has characters draw Danganronpa-esque conclusions and misdirects, throwing doubt on who is or isn’t the baddie.

During the times of both the original and prequel trilogies, waiting and debating Star Wars movies was the name of the game.

The anticipation surrounding Star Wars was arguably the best part of Star Wars.

Starting with the release of 2015’s The Force Awakens, fans got five Star Wars films in five years.

Two new Star Wars movies six months apart.

Can Disney and Lucasfilm really afford to wait two years between Star Wars movies?

Damon and Affleck are geezers now and there’s nothing wrong with that.

There can be little doubt the pandemic finished the job and made the dual-screen experience the universal norm.

Netflix certainly knows this, and it’s front-of-mind for them when they manufacture their streaming entertainment products.

And everybody’s looking…” ÂTo Damon, movies are “more like going to church.”“You show up at an appointed time.

You’re watching in a room, the lights are on, other shit’s going on, the kids are running around, the dogs are running around, whatever it is.

This year, we may finally see if PC gaming can become the de facto mode for play.

There’s a reason why the Steam Deck became as popular as it did since its release back in 2022.

It gave those gamers with a mountain of Steam games a way to play their library on the go.

SteamOS, being Linux, means that any number of PC hardware can be compatible with the device.

In Valve’s mind, the Steam Machine doesn’t have to sell as well as other consoles to be a success.

It’s a bad day for both PlayStation Network trophy hunters and fans of inanimate objects with an inexplicable penchant for jumping.

Nuking ThiGames’ catalog meant removing a lot of games.

(And in 2026, the advent of vibe coding and AI-generated assets no doubt makes wielding the shovel easier than ever.)

(For those without a PlayStation, trophies are similar to achievements on other platforms—you obtain them for completing certain objectives within a given game.)

This has led to speculation that the publisher must have done something more egregious than just flooding the PlayStation store with unabashed slop.

This is Dunk (Peter Claffey) tending to his master, Ser Arlen of Pennytree (Danny Webb), whose passing sets the events of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in motion.

It also begins to give us an idea of his relationship with Ser Arlen, a mentor he misses despite all the knocks.

© Steffan Hill/HBOHere, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms does what you’d expect a Game of Thrones show to do: it starts playing that unmistakable Game of Thrones theme music.

This isn’t the Westeros you’re used to seeing on HBO; A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is far more simple and stripped-down.

New episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms arrive Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.

Have you heard the good word of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple?

What could certainly help it is word of mouth, funnily: it’s gotten a pretty positive reception from critics and audiences, so it’s possible people revisit the Bone Temple over the next several weeks.

Sony’s already committed to a third 28 Years Later, which’ll see the return of original 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy.

The latter’s expected to earn another $17.2 million domestic over the four-day weekend, bringing its total to $363.5 million domestic and $1.31 billion globally.

We’ll see how 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple fares over the next few weeks—but until then, let us know what you thought of the film in the…

The second season of Fallout came out in December, with a big switchup being its change from dropping all episodes at once to a weekly schedule.

Prime Video was explicit about this change ahead of the show’s return, but two-thirds through the season, that gambit doesn’t appear to be paying off.

Other Prime Video shows like Mighty Nein and Reacher opened with two or three episodes.

When the first season of Fallout arrived, several viewers (us included) felt the show could’ve warranted a weekly schedule, a sentiment that seems to have reached Prime Video’s ears.

The good news is, we already know we’re getting a third season of Fallout, so this isn’t currently a death knell for the series.

Animal domestication is often a human-driven process, one carried out intentionally.

And some research has suggested that certain animals in the wild today could one day evolve in a similar fashion, too.

For this edition of Giz Asks, we reached out to scientists who have explored the complex genetic and evolutionary history of animal domestication.

We picked their brains about which wild animals, if any, could someday make the leap to petdom.

There is genetic variation for fear of humans within wild species, and by selecting the animals who fear humans the least to be parents of the next generation, you will get animals that are less fearful of humans.

If you haven’t checked your Facebook account in a while, fear not, the spam accounts are still doing very well.

There’s a group of accounts on Facebook that claims to be a bunch of fan accounts for various National Football League teams.

Another such account, a Denver Broncos fan account with more than 6,000 followers called “Wild Horse Warriors,” found a victim not in a player, but in Broncos reporter Cody Roark.

But even though “Wild Horse Warriors” is now a thing of the past, similar accounts continue to proliferate on Facebook.

While it’s not certain how these specific accounts operate, the pattern seems to fit what has long been utilized by Facebook spam accounts.

As of December 23, 2025, the US Federal Communications Commission barred Chinese-based drone maker DJI from importing any new drones into the United State.

That might sound like you can't buy a DJI drone right now, but that's not true.

Head over to Amazon and just about the whole DJI drone lineup is still for sale.

It's a ban on foreign-made drones, which includes those from companies such as DJI, Autel Robotics, HoverAir, and thers.

Last week, the FCC amended its Covered List to exempt drones and components already approved by the Defense Contract Management Agency’s Blue UAS list.

There’s no denying the allure of alien artifacts.

Science fiction is awash in the material remnants of extraterrestrial civilizations, which surface in everything from the classic books of Arthur C. Clarke to game franchises like Mass Effect and Outer Wilds.

That said, scientists have been anticipating the possibility of encountering alien artifacts since the dawn of the space age.

“But being responsible scientists means holding to the highest standards of evidence and also not crying wolf.”That raises some tantalizing questions: What is the best way to search for alien artifacts?

To meet this challenge, researchers are currently working on an array of techniques to search for signs of alie…

The first Streaming deals of 2026 are already rolling in, and they're needed.

The best January streaming deals are mostly bundles and annual price cuts.

But my biggest revelation, after the Black Friday deals blitz, has been that deals with ads are often no deal at all.

Here's a quick guide to the best streaming deals and streaming bundles in January 2026.

Note that we're not including every TV streaming offer on the planet, just the ones that are actually good deals at the moment.

The Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA Array) at Georgia State University has generated detailed images of the early stages of two nova explosions that were detected in 2021.

A nova is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in a binary system when a white dwarf strips its companion star of hydrogen-rich gas, causing a thermonuclear runaway reaction on the white dwarf’s surface.

However, the ejecta immediately following the explosion are small and a challenge to observe, and until now astronomers could only infer the early stages through indirect methods.

“The images give us a close-up view of how material is ejected away from the star during the explosion," explains Gail Sc…

With rare exceptions, US-based firms outstrip European competitors across the AI production line—from processor design and manufacturing, to datacenter capacity, to model and application development.

Likewise, the US has captured a massive proportion of the money pouring into AI, reflected in the performance last year of its homegrown stocks and the growth of its econonmy.

In early January, the head of Belgium’s national cybersecurity organization told the Financial Times that Europe had “lost the internet,” and should make peace with a degree of reliance on US infrastructure.

Yet the governments of the UK and EU do not appear ready to give up.

Already, they have committed hundreds of milli…

I had my go-to powder board I’d been using for years, but I also had the prototype Jones Hovercraft 2.0, and I could bring only one board aboard the helicopter.

The Hovercraft 2.0 is considered an alternative directional freeride board, meaning it’s really dialed for off-piste action.

The original Hovercraft was released in 2010 as one of Jones' original four snowboards when the company launched.

The Hovercraft 2.0 further refines the design, giving it even more float in powder and adding a lot of sustainability.

It’s better at displacing powder, it’s far less catchy than a standard nose, and it doesn’t interrupt your carves on hard-packed snow.

In the US, cars follow only housing as the most expensive purchase consumers make.

(This gives Cox a lot of insight into buying patterns, but it also has a stake here.)

Data released by Cox this month shows that while 28 percent of car buyers go into the transaction thinking they want to do the whole thing online, just 7 percent end up pulling it off.

Another consumer survey, published in the fall, found that just over half of car buyers wanted to physically sign paper copies of important documents.

In yet another, released in December, 86 percent of surveyed buyers said ​​they wanted to see a car in person before finalizing their purchase.

Centrifugal juicers or masticating slow juicers that are also known as “cold press.” A centrifugal juicer offers speed and a lot of power.

More verifiably, slow juicers tend to net higher juice yields and less waste than centrifugal juicers and are more effective in particular on leafy greens, soft fruits, and berries.

The majority of juicers we’ve included in our guide, and all of our top picks, are now slow, masticating juicers.

To make it even simpler, the most modern slow juicers, like those from Nama and Hurom, have self-feeding hoppers.

A Reverse button is another useful feature to look for, especially with slow juicers.

A smart mattress and smart base are actually two separate purchases meant to be used together.

Screenshot Personal Comfort App via Julia ForbesI opted to test the Rejuvenate with Personal Comfort’s Power-Flex 4 base, which is the most feature-rich base the brand offers.

You don't have to buy an adjustable base from Personal Comfort, but the brand often runs bundle promotions.

The Personal Comfort app can help bypass all this clutter and fumbling in the dark.

Personal Comfort is currently running a promotion in which you can get a free BedJet 3 cooling system with your purchase.

Other Great Backup DrivesSeagate Expansion 8-TB External Hard Drive for $159: Seagate is another reliable drive maker.

It is, however, well worth the money if it's speed you're after.

That puts the X9 Pro at the top of the pack in terms of portable drive speed.

There is also the X10 Pro drive ($235), which offers even faster speeds if you have a PC that supports USB 2X2.

Best Tiny DriveSeagate's new Ultra Compact SSD straddles the line between USB thumb drive and traditional external drive.

It’s the question on everyone’s minds and lips: Are we in an AI bubble?It's the wrong question. The real question is: Which AI bubble are we in, and when will each one burst?The debate over whether AI represents a transformative technology or an economic time bomb has reached a fever pitch. Even tech leaders like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have acknowledged evidence of an unstable financial bubble forming around AI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates see clear bubble dynamics: overexcited investors, frothy valuations and plenty of doomed projects — but they still believe AI will ultimately transform the economy.But treating "AI" as a single monolithic entity destined fo…

Every year, NeurIPS produces hundreds of impressive papers, and a handful that subtly reset how practitioners think about scaling, evaluation and system design. In 2025, the most consequential works weren't about a single breakthrough model. Instead, they challenged fundamental assumptions that academicians and corporations have quietly relied on: Bigger models mean better reasoning, RL creates new capabilities, attention is “solved” and generative models inevitably memorize.This year’s top papers collectively point to a deeper shift: AI progress is now constrained less by raw model capacity and more by architecture, training dynamics and evaluation strategy.Below is a technical deep dive i…

The German AI startup Black Forest Labs (BFL), founded by former Stability AI engineers, is continuing to build out its suite of open source AI image generators with the release of FLUX.2 [klein], a new pair of small models — one open and one non-commercial — that emphasizes speed and lower compute requirements, with the models generating images in less than a second on a Nvidia GB200. The [klein] series, released yesterday, includes two primary parameter counts: 4 billion (4B) and 9 billion (9B).The model weights are available on Hugging Face and code on Github.While the larger models in the FLUX.2 family ([max] and [pro]), released in November of 2025, chase the limits of photorealism and…

Researchers at Google have developed a technique that makes it easier for AI models to learn complex reasoning tasks that usually cause LLMs to hallucinate or fall apart. Instead of training LLMs through next-token prediction, their technique, called internal reinforcement learning (internal RL), steers the model’s internal activations toward developing a high-level step-by-step solution for the input problem. Ultimately, this could provide a scalable path for creating autonomous agents that can handle complex reasoning and real-world robotics without needing constant, manual guidance.The limits of next-token predictionReinforcement learning plays a key role in post-training LLMs, particula…

Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs, needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers.The numbers were actually AI tokens. Decoded, they led to a coding challenge: build an algorithm to act as a digital bouncer at Berghain, the Berlin nightclub famous for rejecting nearly everyone at the door. Within days, thousands attempted the puzzle. 430 cracked it. Some got hired. The winner flew to Berlin, all expenses paid.That unconventional approa…

Kilo Code, the open-source AI coding startup backed by GitLab cofounder Sid Sijbrandij, is launching a Slack integration that allows software engineering teams to execute code changes, debug issues, and push pull requests directly from their team chat — without opening an IDE or switching applications.The product, called Kilo for Slack, arrives as the AI-assisted coding market heats up with multibillion-dollar acquisitions and funding rounds. But rather than building another siloed coding assistant, Kilo is making a calculated bet: that the future of AI development tools lies not in locking engineers into a single interface, but in embedding AI capabilities into the fragmented workflows whe…

Anthropic's open source standard, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), released in late 2024, allows users to connect AI models and the agents atop them to external tools in a structured, reliable format. It is the engine behind Anthropic's hit AI agentic programming harness, Claude Code, allowing it to access numerous functions like web browsing and file creation immediately when asked.But there was one problem: Claude Code typically had to "read" the instruction manual for every single tool available, regardless of whether it was needed for the immediate task, using up the available context that could otherwise be filled with more information from the user's prompts or the agent's responses.…

Agentic systems and enterprise search depend on strong data retrieval that works efficiently and accurately. Database provider MongoDB thinks its newest embeddings models help solve falling retrieval quality as more AI systems go into production.As agentic and RAG systems move into production, retrieval quality is emerging as a quiet failure point — one that can undermine accuracy, cost, and user trust even when models themselves perform well.The company launched four new versions of its embeddings and reranking models. Voyage 4 will be available in four modes: voyage-4 embedding, voyage-4-large, voyage-4-lite, and voyage-4-nano. MongoDB said the voyage-4 embedding serves as its general-pur…

As agentic AI moves from experiments to real production workloads, a quiet but serious infrastructure problem is coming into focus: memory. Not compute. Not models. Memory.Under the hood, today’s GPUs simply don’t have enough space to hold the Key-Value (KV) caches that modern, long-running AI agents depend on to maintain context. The result is a lot of invisible waste — GPUs redoing work they’ve already done, cloud costs climbing, and performance taking a hit. It’s a problem that’s already showing up in production environments, even if most people haven’t named it yet.At a recent stop on the VentureBeat AI Impact Series, WEKA CTO Shimon Ben-David joined VentureBeat CEO Matt Marshall to unp…

The two big stories of AI in 2026 so far have been the incredible rise in usage and praise for Anthropic's Claude Code and a similar huge boost in user adoption for Google's Gemini 3 AI model family released late last year — the latter of which includes Nano Banana Pro (also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image), a powerful, fast, and flexible image generation model that renders complex, text-heavy infographics quickly and accurately, making it an excellent fit for enterprise use (think: collateral, trainings, onboarding, stationary, etc).But of course, both of those are proprietary offerings. And yet, open source rivals have not been far behind. This week, we got a new open source alternative to Na…

Rather than asking how AI agents can work for them, a key question in enterprise is now: Are agents playing well together? This makes orchestration across multi-agent systems and platforms a critical concern — and a key differentiator. “Agent-to-agent communications is emerging as a really big deal,” G2’s chief innovation officer Tim Sanders told VentureBeat. “Because if you don't orchestrate it, you get misunderstandings, like people speaking foreign languages to each other. Those misunderstandings reduce the quality of actions and raise the specter of hallucinations, which could be security incidents or data leakage.”Allowing agents to talk and coordinateOrchestration to this point has la…

In the chaotic world of Large Language Model (LLM) optimization, engineers have spent the last few years developing increasingly esoteric rituals to get better answers. We’ve seen "Chain of Thought" (asking the model to think step-by-step and often, show those "reasoning traces" to the user), "Emotional Blackmail" (telling the model its career depends on the answer, or that it is being accused of sexual misconduct), and complex multi-shot prompting frameworks.But a new paper released by Google Research suggests that we may have been overthinking it. The researchers found that simply repeating the input query—literally copying and pasting the prompt so it appears twice—consistently improves …

Egnyte, the $1.5 billion cloud content governance company, has embedded AI coding tools across its global team of more than 350 developers — but not to reduce headcount. Instead, the company continues to hire junior engineers, using AI to accelerate onboarding, deepen codebase understanding, and shorten the path from junior to senior contributor. The approach challenges a dominant 2025 narrative that automation will replace developers, showing instead how enterprises are using AI to scale engineering capacity while keeping humans firmly in the loop.“To have engineers disappear or us not hiring junior engineers doesn't look like the likely outcome,” Amrit Jassal, Egnyte CTO and co-founder, t…

When an enterprise LLM retrieves a product name, technical specification, or standard contract clause, it's using expensive GPU computation designed for complex reasoning — just to access static information. This happens millions of times per day. Each lookup wastes cycles and inflates infrastructure costs. DeepSeek's newly released research on "conditional memory" addresses this architectural limitation directly. The work introduces Engram, a module that separates static pattern retrieval from dynamic reasoning. It delivers results that challenge assumptions about what memory is actually for in neural networks. The paper was co-authored by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng.Through systematic …

Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot, the company's workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees.The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, is Salesforce's most aggressive move yet to position Slack at the center of the emerging "agentic AI" movement — where software agents work alongside humans to complete complex tasks. The launch comes as Salesforce attempts to convince investors that artificial intelligence will bolster its products rath…

Codex helped identify both code bugs and hosting issues.

Struggling with a painfully slow PC or internet connection? These browsers are built to handle it.

But what do Windows users do about running Windows apps on the open-source operating system?

Wine is a compatibility layer that allows users to run Windows apps on Linux.

So, how do you run those Windows apps on Linux with Wine?

Installing a Windows app with WineI'll show you how to install the Notepad++ Windows app with Wine's help.

Try these 5 Linux distributionsEven with those potential issues, installing supported Windows apps on Linux with Wine is considerably easier than you might think.

Although those Ubuntu virtual machines are used only for testing purposes, the 3GB of RAM does pretty well.

You wouldn't be able to use virtual machines.

The way I decide on how much RAM I need is to figure out (from the above list) my minimum amount and then double it.

My Linux RAM sweet spotFor what I do on my Linux system (which is a ton of tabs, editing big images with GIMP, a lot of virtual machines, and the usual productivity work), I need at least 32GB of RAM.

If you double the amount of RAM you think you'll need, you'll find your PC performs much better for a longer period of time.

Also: This hidden Google Maps feature is making people emotional - here's whyHowever, there are some distinct differences between CoMaps and Google Maps.

Google Maps differencesThe first major difference is that you need to download maps for the specific locations you require.

To download a map, tap the three horizontal line menu button at the bottom of the main page and tap Download Maps.

In the resulting page, tap +, locate and tap the map you want, and then tap "Download map."

In fact, once you've downloaded the necessary maps, CoMaps functions very similarly to Google Maps.

I conducted one of the first-ever academic studies of AI ethics as a thesis project way back in the day.

I also wrote and deployed the AI Editor, a generative AI tool that built news and content dynamically.

That may not seem like much today, but I did it way back in 2010, when I had to create a generative AI engine from scratch.

I just finished coding a free AI defense product available to all WordPress users that enables them to defend against AI training and scraping, plus an advanced version (which folks pay for) that enables active countermeasures against AI scraping for training.

With all that, I will say that the absolute high point was when I could get an AI to talk like a pirate.

Chipolo One Point ZDNET's key takeaways The Chipolo One Point and Card Point are currently $21 and $23, respectively.

AirTags are one of the things that have set the Apple ecosystem apart from the Android ecosystem.

Chipolo Card Point Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETLike the One Point, the Card Point is splashproof to IPX5 standard and has a sound activation range of 200ft/60m, but unlike the One Point fob, the Card Point doesn't have a user-replaceable battery.

They're just like AirTags but for Android users.

I'd opt for the Chipolo One Point Bluetooth Tracker if you want something to tuck in a backpack, shirt pocket, or keychain set, and the Chipolo Card Point to keep tabs on your wallet.

OpenAI has not yet started showing ads in ChatGPT, but it plans to begin testing ads in the coming weeks.

Read that again: ads won’t sit beside or above a list of links, as they do on Google.

It’s a level of semantic proximity to intent that search ads never capture, because even the best keywords are guesses at nuance.

Its AI integration in search, including AI summaries, already blends insight with ads in ways that are more sophisticated than many realize.

There’s traditional search intent tied to links and pages, and there’s conversational intent captured in natural language interactions.

Italian startup BizzyNow has launched an equity crowdfunding round on Mamacrowd to finance the next phase of its networking app, built around quick, in-person meetups it calls “Bizzy Moments.” The campaign targets €150k–€400k at a €3m pre-money valuation, with a €500 minimum ticket.

His words came with an unexpected counterweight: an announcement of free AI training and a dedicated task force to help workers adapt.

In some sectors where AI tools are already in use, work has been reshaped rather than eliminated.

It would be a mistake to frame this moment as simply a binary between jobs lost and jobs saved.

Proposals like a European AI Social Compact argue for strategies that combine employment support, training, and social protections as central to economic planning.

In that sense, the conversation is less about whether AI will change jobs; it already is, and more about how Europe navigates the change.

Belgian cybersecurity startup Aikido Security has closed a $60 million Series B funding round at a $1 billion valuation, marking a rare unicorn milestone for a European security company and highlighting the accelerating interest in developer-centric security platforms.

The new capital will help Aikido accelerate product development and expand further into key markets, especially the United States, where it already generates around half of its revenue.

Modern engineering teams ship code more frequently, and the widespread adoption of AI tools for coding has heightened both velocity and risk.

This contrasts with earlier models where specialised security teams acted as gatekeepers.

Monday 12 January, 2026, JD Sports Fashion plc (JD Group) became one of the first large retailers to let US customers search and buy sneakers directly inside AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini.

Basically, a customer can chat with an AI bot, say “add these shoes to my cart,” and complete a purchase in one click.

JD Sports has agreed a global deal with commercetools to enable “one-click” purchases on AI assistants including Copilot, Gemini and ChatGPT.

Stripe handles the payment and fraud protection, while commercetools’ AI Hub keeps JD’s product data, pricing and availability in sync across all AI channels.

AI shopping ignores most of that.

If models represent intelligence and agents represent coordination, Skills are where AI becomes operational and valuable in the real world.

What they experience are Skills, because Skills are the part of AI that delivers outcomes.

The AI Stack: Where Skills FitTo understand why Skills matter, it helps to look at the modern AI stack.

One of the most important distinctions is that Skills encode procedural knowledge rather than descriptive knowledge.

Skills Are Products, Not Just TechnologyAnother critical point is that Skills are products, not just technology.

The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is well known, often evoking futuristic movies like Robocop, Terminator and The Matrix.

So when you hear conversations about the “urgent need to start using AI,” pause for a moment.

AI itself isn’t new, the real transformation we’re witnessing comes from Generative AI, a newer branch of deep learning, which itself is a subset of machine learning.

From AI to Generative AI: What’s actually newArtificial Intelligence broadly covers machines that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence.

If you treat Generative AI like a search engine or a calculator, you miss its true potential.

This is one of the most concerning questions for sales teams at the beginning of 2026: are tech giants killing cold outreach?

Apple and Google have recently introduced two features that show a clear tendency toward the decline of cold outreach.

It effectively turns cold calling into another form of messaging.

The magic of cold calling was always the surprise factor.

So, are tech giants really killing cold outreach?

ChatGPT Health does not answer those questions.

Health data does not flow into the general ChatGPT memory, and conversations in this space are encrypted.

Through a partnership with b.well Connected Health, ChatGPT Health can access real electronic health records from thousands of providers, with user permission.

ChatGPT Health does not change that.

Used responsibly, ChatGPT Health can help people engage with their own health information instead of avoiding it.

Benchmarks improve, model scores rise, and every new release arrives with a list of metrics meant to signal progress.

Not another benchmarkFor years, benchmarks were the currency of AI credibility: accuracy scores, reasoning tests and standardized datasets.

As the number of models explodes, enterprise buyers face a new question: not how to get AI, but which AI to trust.

Trust doesn’t scale on its ownThere’s a quiet assumption in AI that trust will emerge naturally as models improve.

By letting users, not companies, decide what works, LMArena introduces friction where the industry often prefers momentum.

For years, the tech industry equated success with scale.

Bigger stages, larger crowds, more logos, more panels, more noise.

Big tech events struggle because they optimize for visibility, not usefulness.

Even when larger conferences still make sense, there is a clear psychological ceiling.

This is why smaller, niche conferences outperform larger ones on every meaningful metric.

Over the holiday break, I finally decided to take the plunge and get a new iPhone after four years holding on to my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

But I didn’t need to go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health to know that something was seriously wrong.

Even the fact that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is about 10 grams lighter than the iPhone 13 Pro Max feels uncomfortable to me, as if it were trying to appear robust, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max feels like an actual heavy-duty piece of technology.

Still, every time I pick up the iPhone 13 Pro Max to prep it for sale and then switch back to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the contrast feels a bit… disappointing.

The only problem with the new cameras is that they made me…

Talk of the largest grocer in the world not supporting Apple Pay or any Tap to Pay solution for that matter is making the rounds on social media again.

When you use Walmart Pay or Scan and Go, everything you buy is linked directly to your account to build a profile for advertising and marketing.

2026 may turn out to be the year of OpenAI’s first hardware product, according to the company’s policy chief.

Meanwhile, Jony Ive’s ‘io’ team at OpenAI has made a notable Apple veteran hire.

Meanwhile, engineer and interface designer Janum Trivedi “joined the [OpenAI] × LoveFrom design team, working on io products,” after previously working on SpringBoard at Apple.

OpenAI leader Sam Altman and famed ex-Apple designer Jony Ive announced last May that the duo was collaborating on a family of AI hardware products.

Earlier this month, The Information reported that OpenAI was bolstering its audio models ahead of unveiling a largely audio-based hardware product.

Apple released the new M5 MacBook Pro last October, but we’re still waiting on the more powerful M5 Pro and M5 Max variants of that machine.

Here’s when to expect that update to be released …Apple Creator StudioOne theory making the rounds is that Apple could announce and/or release the new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models on January 28.

The fact that these higher-end configurations are delayed is as good an indication as any that the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro updates are coming soon.

What to expect from the new MacBook ProsWe aren’t expecting many changes to the new MacBook Pro other than the M5 Pro and M5 Max chip options.

In an annual tradition, Apple is celebrating Martin Luther King Jr Day on its homepage, with quotes from the civil rights champion.

“I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world.” “Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.

King, alongside a free Apple Books edition of A Time to Break Silence: The Essential Works Of Martin Luther King, Jr. For Students.

MLK Day is a federal holiday in the US which takes place on the third Monday of January.

One of the biggest visual changes we’re expecting with this year’s iPhone 18 Pro is a punch-hole selfie camera, with the Face ID module invisibly embedded into the display.

Until recently, we’d been expecting this to be centered in the same way as the current camera and Face ID module.

However, one report has suggested that the punch-hole selfie camera would instead be relocated to the top-left corner, where the clock currently lives.

He instead expects the dynamic island to move to the left on the new model, and this is what he illustrates in a video render.

I certainly agree that Dynamic Island is too useful a feature to drop and don’t personally have any strong preference for the positio…

Вот к чему приводит развитие нейросетей — теперь нам нужны камеры с аппаратным подтверждением подлинности. Красиво, ничего не скажешь. Правда, непонятно, кто мешает вскрыть камеру, нанести на ее сенсор нужные пиксели и зафиксировать кадр ...https://roc.camera

OpenAI запустили браузер Atlas. Умеет отвечать на вопросы по странице, но и Агентский режим тоже есть — это когда браузер используется как агент и буквально сам ходит по страницам.

Теперь всё понятноМэтт Деймон и Бен Аффлек рассказали на подкасте Джо Рогана, какой у Netflix подход к кино: сюжет специально повторяют по 3–4 раза, экшен показывают сразу, а качеством картинки почти не занимаются.Всё потому, что кино на стриминге обычно смотрят фоном — пока занимаются домашними делами или просто «сидят в телефоне».С другой стороны, Netflix действительно позволяет рисковать, так как без релиза в кинотеатрах на фильм тратится в два раза меньше денег. Из-за этого есть и хорошие проекты.rozetked.me/news/43891
