На моём компьютере Obsidian заметно увеличивает нагрузку при запуске и особенно тяжело работает с большими хранилищами и несколькими тяжёлыми приложениями.

Я реализовал на Rust аналоги привычных возможностей Obsidian: Dataview‑подобные запросы, граф, backlinks, историю, задачи и другие функции, поэтому в моем случае условия максимально похожие.

Плюс для меня разработка объемного продукта стала хорошей практикой, так как в данный момент работаю я в команде дизайн‑систем.

И в последнее время всё чаще, так как ИИ совершенствуется, и при работе с ним люди всё охотнее отключают свой мозг.

У меня возникает устойчивое чувство, что я что‑то упустил, и что неудачный промпт может привести к архитектурной ошибке, из‑за которой потом всё придётся переделывать.

Более же удачным примером будет попытка сыграть с ИИ в настольную игру (особенно в современную, а не классическую вроде шахмат или Го).

Но фишка в том, что я и сам уже проверял этот пост через ChatGPT и все реальные ошибки исправил.

В то же время пропускает он ошибки довольно часто, то есть полнота (recall) у него весьма посредственная.

Однажды руководство компании, производившей профессиональные машины для тасовки карт, столкнулось с серьёзной проблемой.

Это позволяло ускорить игру и одновременно защищало казино от счётчиков карт и недобросовестных дилеров.

На первый взгляд машина работала отлично: карты после тасовки выглядели расположенными совершенно хаотично.

Стратегия кажется примитивной, но с её помощью математики правильно угадывали примерно 9–10 карт из одной колоды — почти каждую пятую.

Если после тасовки в ней сохранялась структура, вероятность некоторых событий становилась более предсказуемой.

Оценки, рецензии, трейлеры, куча информации о фильме, актерах, режиссерах и всего того, что было нужно и не нужно.

Но что не так с КП?

ПроектМини‑заготовка проекта уже имелась, но она была настолько сырая, что даже и не понятно было что это и для чего.

В том числе это произошло и в Восточной Европе со многими народами славянского и угро-финского корня.

Основные современные западнославянские народы: поляки, чехи и весьма близкие им по языку словаки, всегда остававшиеся немного «в тени» и в основном под властью венгерской короны.

В отличие от православных традиций, католицизм вплоть до Второго Ватиканского собора 1962–1965 годов строго настаивал на использовании в богослужении латинского языка.

Как и в польском, поначалу все писали как Бог на душу положит, для записи Ч могли использовать такие варианты, как c, cz, czz, chz и ch, и было это неудобно.

Но в 1406–1412 годах в стенах Карлова университета в Праге, старейшего университета Восточно…

Выяснилось, что поначалу Unix собирался считать время с другого года и в других единицах, а тикали его часы от электрической розетки.

Счетчик остался 32-битным, но стал знаковым, и в положительную сторону у него 2³¹ − 1 = 2 147 483 647 секунд.

Проверить это на живом MySQL мне было не на чем, так что тут я опираюсь на документацию.

В основное поле записываются младшие 32 бита времени, и в обоих образах там лежит одно и то же 0x83aa7e80 .

NTP хранит секунды в беззнаковом 32-битном поле с отсчетом от 1900 года, и его первая эра закончится 7 февраля 2036 года в 06:28:16 UTC, на два года раньше Unix.

А это БУР: панель реле и целая куча запутанных проводов, некогда шедших к контакторам и к прочим силовым агрегатам.

В УЛЖМ плата МЯУ питалась от БП на 24 В в БУРе, который щёлкал реле, формировал дискретные сигналы и зажигал лампочки в кнопках.

Помимо кнопок и галетников в нём располагается блок питания (клеммник 220 В и предохранители видны слева).

МЯУ питается от БП на 24 В в БУРе, поэтому при модернизации до УЛЖМ тумблер «ПИТАНИЕ» нужно выключить.

Запросы в техподдержке и в интернет-магазине используют оба поиска.

Клиентам Yandex Cloud и в Enterprise-версии YDB доступна морфология Яндекса, та же, что работает в поиске Яндекса.

Вызов нужно повторять, потому что в YQL, как и в обычном SQL, в WHERE нельзя сослаться на псевдоним из SELECT .

Токенизатор и фильтры задаются при создании индекса, и запрос обрабатывается теми же правилами, что и документы.

Два инфракрасных окна, спереди и сзади, три режима работы — IBM, HP и Sharp — и сверху заявленная совместимость с IrDA.

Обычный телевизионный пульт и IrDA используют почти один и тот же диапазон инфракрасного света, но разговаривают совершенно по-разному.

Forbes в декабре 2003 года подсчитал, что семь из десяти Bluetooth-чипов ставят именно в телефоны, а не в ноутбуки.

Односторонний вариант IrSS завели в принтеры Epson и Canon и в телевизоры.

Собирал я его три вечера и одну ночь, за это время успел дважды решить, что все сгорело, один раз действительно кое‑что спалить и в итоге получить машину, на которой Quake шел достаточно бодро, чтобы друзья приходили посмотреть и оставались до утра.

Деньги на компьютер тогда считали в у.е., потому что рубль вел себя довольно нервно, и вся сборка обошлась мне где‑то в семьсот долларов, которые я копил с зимы из стипендии, подработки и денег, подаренных на день рождения с формулировкой «на что‑нибудь полезное».

Что это за утечка в целом и что с ней сделали другие клиенты, мы разобрали в первой статье.

Отказ по умолчанию и дыра через pingПервая версия фильтра пропускала всё, что не TCP и не UDP.

Воркеры завершаются при каждом отключении и переподключении, в том числе при смене сети, так что ошибка сидела и в PR, и в тестовом релизе strict.3.

Отдельно о том, что фильтр пишет и что хранит, потому что в комментариях к похожим проектам этот вопрос задавали первым.

Отказы идут в logcat на уровне debug, а в релизной сборке попадают туда, только если в приложении включено сохранение логов.

TL;DR. Я купил мини‑ПК с Ryzen AI 9 365, чтобы гонять большую локальную модель на NPU.

ВступлениеВ этой статье я хочу погрузиться (и погрузить читателя) в дебри C++ на примере написания собственной std::function .

Давайте начнем на ощупь, с конструктора:template class Function { public: template Function(F&& f) { m_f = std::make_unique>(std::forward(f)); } ... };Видите FuncImpl ?

Только что мы реализовали, идиому под названием Type Erasue, которая практически всегда используется в каноничных реализациях std::function и std::any , т.е.

Поэтому хорошим тоном является очистка типа через std::decay :template Function(F&& f) { using Fn = std::decay_t; m_f = std::make_unique>(std::forward(f)); }Второе: сразу подстелим соломку под желаемое const-correctness поведение.

Что касается Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival — там в трейлерах всё время происходит какая-то садомия, так что про неё и не рассказать, и не показать нормально.

Компания анонсировала новые меры безопасности для macOS, которые должны минимизировать риск возникновения неловких ситуаций после запуска автономных ИИ-ассистентов на вашем компьютере.

В частности, разработчики добавят отдельную настройку уровня доступа агентов к вашим файлам и папкам, и для её изменения потребуется дополнительная авторизация.

С одной стороны, Apple хочет создать прозрачные условия для пользователей, чтобы те чётко осознавали, какой риск берут на себя, когда пускают ИИ в свой огород конфиденциальных данных.

С другой — лишить злоумышленников даже малейшего шанса на получение доступа к системе и уж тем более запуска автономных агентов без ведома юзера, даже если тот привык пр…

Sony Pictures вырвалась в лидеры переговоров и в погоне за «Баттлой» готова перебить сумму, предложенную Warner Bros., Amazon MGM Studios и Universal Pictures, — пишет портал The Wrap.

Детали сюжета не уточняются, но уже известно, что кресло режиссёра и сценариста займёт Кристофер Маккуорри, приложивший руку к фильмам «Топ Ган» и «Миссия невыполнима», а главную роль может исполнить Майкл Б. Джордан («Грешники»).

Первые слухи об экранизации появились ещё весной этого года, и с той поры хайп по «Баттле» успел подутихнуть.

Владельцы флагманского iPhone в США столкнулись с потерей сигнала сотовой связи и больше не могут совершать звонки, находясь в зоне действия оператора.

Насколько проблема массовая — неизвестно, первыми о ней сообщили абоненты оператора AT&T.

Любопытно, что Pro Max для американского рынка по-прежнему поставляются с модемом Qualcomm, в то время как владельцев iPhone 18 Pro, в котором стоит собственный модем Apple C2 , проблемы со связью не коснулись.

Компания уже выпустила обновление ПО и подготовила настройки оператора, но смартфоны, где связь пропала, придётся поменять на новые: их компания обещает выдать бесплатно, а всех остальных призывает скорее обновиться до последней версии iOS 27.0.1.

Показалось, что можно пока поставить проектор за диваном на штатив и спрятать все провода внизу, закрыть ковром, наколхозить и сделать вид, что так и надо.

Но в квартире я использую Arc + тылы Era 300 + Sub, и эта вот схема годами меня радует и с кино, и с играми.

Ну, может, не так контрастно, как на ТВ, но прям именно что всё почти как на ТВ.

Если вы, как и я, покупаете проектор и аксессуары в первый раз, очень советую обратиться к профессионалам.

Полезная штука что в загородном доме, что в квартире, очень всем рекомендую запасаться.

Авторы не уверены сами, что у них получилось: смартфон или носимая ИИ-безделушка вроде Humane и Rabbit R1.

Для этого из него выпилили всё, что удерживало бы ребёнка за экраном: магазин приложений, социальные сети и сервисы потокового видео.

Родители не только настраивают, с кем ребёнок может общаться через «смартфон», но ещё могут придумывать ему задания для прогулок в приложении.

В общем, девайс предназначен скорее для того, чтобы вытаскивать дитё на улицу и дать ему возможность взаимодействовать с реальным миром, а не полностью его заменить.

Freckle залочен на виртуальном операторе в США, абонентская плата у которого $20 в месяц.

После обновления 26H2 в Windows 11 не только ничего не сломалось (пока), но и вроде бы что-то улучшилось.

Пользователи на Reddit пишут, что система стала лучше работать с оперативной памятью и потреблять на 1−3 ГБ меньше обычного.

Другие комментаторы не верят новостям и пишут, что это очередное нейрослоповое обновление, а сообщение об улучшении производительности — пыль в глаза.

И правда, где гарантия, что хвалебные отзывы на патч пишут не ИИ-агенты?

Пишите в комментарии, что вы думаете о свежем обновлении.

Широко известный в узких кругах производитель аксессуаров Twelve South представил беспроводной адаптер airfly drive: он создаёт Wi-Fi сеть для сопряжения вашего iPhone с автомобилем и полностью устраняет необходимость в использовании USB-кабеля.

Ютубер Эндрю Цай нашёл способ подружить «Дикую охоту» с macOS 27.

Для этого ему пришлось установить «Кроссовер» и прогнать пару дополнительных скриптов, устраняющих проблемки совместимости DirectX 12 и Metal 4.

Новенький Mac mini на M5 Pro жмёт от 55 до 75 кадров в секунду на высоких настройках в разрешении 1440p с включённым FSR.

А это, на секундочку, без малого уровень производительности Steam Machine.

Остаётся надеяться, что полноценный релиз игры на macOS не за горами.

Поверх внутреннего дисплея установлен отдельный защитный слой, его можно будет отодрать и наклеить заново в любой момент, чтобы дисплей выглядел как новенький, — рассказала вице-президент Apple по аппаратному обеспечению Кейт Бержерон.

Учитывая, что вместе с царапинами экран будет собирать ещё и заломы при открытии и закрытии смартфона, замена защитного слоя поможет сделать проявляющуюся со временем складку менее заметной.

Насколько просто будет этот слой переклеить в домашних условиях — вопрос открытый, но уже известно, что замена защитного стекла в сервисных центрах Apple обойдётся минимум в $20, и то при условии, что у вас оформлена расширенная гарантия AppleCare.

Девять лет назад CASIO показала три полупрозрачных прототипа G-SHOCK с корпусом из сапфирового стекла: прозрачный, рубиновый и голубой.

До серийного производства модели тогда не дошли: обработка сапфира занимала слишком много времени, а цельноминеральный корпус не соответствовал стандартам ударопрочности бренда.

Но это было тогда, а теперь CASIO ультанула моделью с лаконичным названием MRG-D5000, безель и корпус которой выточены из синего сапфира.

Компания показала QSSR, он же Quick Spectral Super Resolution, — улучшенный метод масштабирования изображения.

Продемонстрировать работу апскейлера Sony решила на примере новой «Росомахи»: разница в чёткости хорошо заметна, особенно если смотреть с монитора.

Требовательные к качеству изображения владельцы PS 5 теперь могут не тратиться на дорогую «Прошку» и посидеть на базовой консоли ещё пару лет.

А Sony сможет тихонько обкатать и оптимизировать новый ИИ-апскейлер перед неминуемым выходом линейки PlayStation 6, в которой нас ждут не только полноценная домашняя консоль, но и портативный наследник PS Vita.

Предвкушаем теперь, когда компания созреет до Universal Spectral Super Resolution или,…

Инженеры японского подразделения Google переосмыслили механическую клавиатуру, оснастив её конвейерным ремнём.

Это уже пятнадцатая кастомная клавиатура, родившаяся в недрах японского подразделения.

Просто в этом году вполне себе первоапрельский проект компания решила выпустить первого октября, чтобы интернет не расслаблялся.

Минусов у такого агрегата полно: клавиатура закрывает собой треть монитора, громко жужжит электроприводом и ещё использует QWERTY-раскладку, развёрнутую на 90° против часовой стрелки.

Клавиатуру-эскалатор, само собой, никто всерьёз продавать не планирует, но очумелые ручки могут собрать её сами, скачав инструкции и чертежи со страницы проекта на GitHub.

Ему досталась компания, уже работавшая с кожей и шёлком, и предстояло продавать больше, сохранив ручную работу мастеров — от раскроя кожи до последнего шва.

“What we’re witnessing is a sort of backsliding,” said Brenda Darden Wilkerson, president of AnitaB.org, a non-profit devoted to advancing women in tech jobs.

Mentorship in the AI field, especially by other women, can be hard to come by.

But instead the field has indexed more on personal networks and other loose signals, according to some women who work in AI.

The political climate has made it more challenging to get AI companies to support initiatives focused on women, said Felicia Newhouse, founder of AI Powered Women, an organization that promotes women’s participation and leadership in AI.

“It is getting harder to go into companies being called AI Powered Women,” Newhouse said.

Kagi ends development of Orion Browser for Linux and Windows, with plans to open-source both versions and hand them over to the community.

Health authorities in Siberia’s Irkutsk region have placed nearly 200 people under medical observation after a laboratory worker died from plague, according to media reports and a statement by a regional leader Friday.

Alexei Tsydenov, head of the neighboring republic of Buryatia, confirmed that the woman had died from an unspecified form of plague.

“There are no plague outbreaks in the republic, including in areas bordering Mongolia,” he wrote on social media.

She was hospitalized Tuesday with symptoms of severe pneumonia in Shelekhov, a town near the regional capital of Irkutsk.

She was placed on a ventilator and died Thursday, according to the reports.

But a new study highlights that even at the first, local steps of an outbreak with pandemic-potential, we are worryingly underprepared.

Health officials in New York set up a regional test of healthcare facilities to identify and respond to a patient with a mystery infection that could pose a pandemic-level threat.

The drill centered on “professional patient actors,” who staggered into healthcare facilities feigning expected symptoms of an H5 bird flu infection—a virus type thought to have pandemic potential.

To pass the test, a healthcare facility needed to mask the patient and put them in an isolation room.

For this drill, both masking and isolation were enough to pass, regardless of timin…

The case dates back to May 2020, when then-Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who is now the Democratic candidate for governor, sued both Uber and Lyft.

That lawsuit said the ridehailing companies evaded state law when they declared that their drivers were not employees.

One argument that often comes up about climate change is that fossil fuels are good because they powered economic growth that has left most people better off overall.

In 2013, I was introduced to a metaphor about changing the relationship between economic growth and fossil fuel use: opening scissors.

The idea was that we needed to open them: continue GDP growth (ideally in ways that improved citizens’ lives), but disconnect it from carbon emissions.

In 1996, its carbon emissions began a gradual decline that has continued to the present, with total emissions down by a third fro…

The US has arrested another suspect accused of smuggling high-end computer servers containing export-controlled Nvidia chips into China.

Emails and bank records exposed the smuggling scheme, the DOJ alleged, which started in October 2023 and continued until August 2026.

A similar shipment of 92 export-controlled servers was allegedly routed through Singapore to Malaysia, then Hong Kong.

Finally, the chips went to a Chinese firm based in Hangzhou, the FBI alleged, which The Wall Street Journal last year described as China’s AI hub.

Yet another flagged 2024 shipment shows how far Lui allegedly went to fool US officials.

A hint of dark matter?

Physicists believe dark matter makes up roughly 85 percent of matter in our universe, with the strongest (but not only) candidate being so-called weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).

But directly detecting WIMPs, or other alternative hypothetical dark matter particles, has eluded physicists for decades.

We might have our first glimpse, however, courtesy of the LUX-ZEPLIN detector buried deep in a gold mine in South Dakota.

Anyone who regularly follows dark matter news knows that past tantalizing anomalies evaporated as more data came in.

In late 1970, a Titan IIIC rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 40 at what was then called Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

They were looking for missile launchesThe US government would later disclose that the top-secret payload that launched in November 1970 was a “Defense Support Program” satellite.

As a result, the Defense Support Program would become one of the primary elements of American military space power during the Cold War.

These initial satellites transformed experimental infrared observations into an operational program that continuously monitored the globe for missile launches.

Satellites in the Defense Support Program kept on flying into space until 2007.

My family has spent four summers participating in demand response programs whereby utility companies pay customers to reduce energy use on the hottest summer days.

Most summers have involved carefully precooling our New York City apartment before switching off the air conditioners and sweating it out during the designated demand response periods.

But this year, we kept our window air conditioners running throughout a heat dome event that drove daytime temperatures into the triple digits and made the nights oppressively hot.

We were among about 1,000 New York City households that took part in a free and growing program offered by the local startup Every Electric.

Having a second monitor allows for better organization, both on your desk and the screens.

A second monitor would eliminate the need to do this, saving paper (and clutter).

It's worth noting that you don't necessarily need a high-end second monitor.

Ideally, you should find a second monitor that is the same size as your first for a seamless look.

A second monitor might not be something you use all the time.

Console graphics came from bespoke, fixed-function chips for more than two decades, until the original Xbox burst onto the scene in 2001 with a PC GPU inside.

That's the NES's graphics chip hitting its hard limit of eight sprites per scanline; the chip drops anything past eight, and the game alternates which ones.

In the NES, it was the Ricoh 2C02 Picture Processing Unit that rendered game graphics.

That arrangement — a dedicated picture generator fed by the CPU — is how most consoles rendered their graphics from the late 1970s into the 2000s.

Instead, it was built around an Intel Pentium III and a graphics chip NVIDIA made specially for it, based on the GeForce 3.

For a while, the Mac mini was ranked as one of the best deals in computing.

For $900, you can get a Mac with Apple's new M6 processor, which is vastly overpowered for most of the apps the average person runs.

The next step up, the MacBook Air, is $1,100, and you're still stuck with an M5 chip and 16GB of RAM.

A MacBook Pro might as well be in the stratosphere if you're searching for an affordable computer.

The dichotomy between mini and MacBook prices is pretty straightforward in most respects, owing to what's included versus what's not.

From a purely aesthetic point of view, a screen protector on your MacBook can visibly dampen the display you spent good money on.

It's something imperceptible so long as it's not damaged, but a screen protector can ruin it.

When it comes time to replace your screen protector, peeling off of the adhesive can leave the coating cracked, peeling and frankly pretty ugly to look at.

A MacBook is designed to close with a very small gap between the screen and keyboard, and a thick glass screen protector can bridge that gap.

If you absolutely must get a screen protector for your MacBook, there are a few safe alternatives.

If you want to take your internet connection with you, the Starlink Mini is the most obvious choice.

Starlink describes it as a compact, portable kit designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet on the go or at home.

The Mini measures 11.75 by 10.2 inches and weighs about 2.4 pounds, making it significantly smaller and lighter than Starlink's Standard dish.

SpaceX first sold the Starlink Mini for $599, but it has since dropped to $199 when purchased directly from Starlink.

If you're mainly looking for a permanent home internet setup, the Standard dish may be the more practical option.

PC audio technology is no longer an afterthought, as it was in the '80s.

It's taken for granted that anyone unboxing a Windows PC — or a Mac or Linux machine, for that matter — will be playing music, games or video almost immediately.

If you've ever seen a mysterious Realtek Audio reference in the Windows Device Manager, that's the sort of chip we're talking about.

Sound cards also used to be vital for microphone inputs and 3.5mm speaker outputs, but no more.

It is possible to provide enough shielding, as the continued sale of internal sound cards points to.

The biggest loss you'll feel when switching from a traditional iPhone to the Duo is the latter's lack of a FaceID array for facial recognition.

Apple placed the Duo's TouchID sensor in the power button, a similar implementation to that found on foldables from Samsung and other vendors.

A feature some may not miss on the iPhone Duo is the Camera Control button found on the side rail of other iPhones.

However, if you're one of those iPhone users who swears by the Camera Control button, this loss will sting.

Combined with the Duo's less capable cameras, the lack of a Camera Control button suggests that Apple sees the Duo as a media consumption device rather than a creative tool (an impression …

The ability to tent an iPhone Duo and use the 48-megapixel rear cameras shouldn't be undersold.

More importantly, it's always the rear sensors where Apple puts its best technology in terms of low-light sensitivity and focus tracking.

Indeed, one of the smaller upgrades the company is touting is "smart" focus tracking, really a rebranding of the focus lock standalone cameras have had for some time.

Naturally, this is useful for solo selfies as well; it's just that coordinated group shots are often the most difficult, as any pro wedding photographer knows.

Still, this is undeniably a step forward, to the point that some candybar iPhone owners may feel a little jealous.

When you're not using your iPhone as a music player, camera or gaming platform, you might actually use it as a phone.

The volume might simply be turned down, or you might not have turned speaker mode on.

You might not have noticed that you have the option to adjust the voice mode during a call.

Voice Isolation is available on the iPhone XR/XS and newer, as long as you have iOS 16.4 or later.

Of course, since these options apply to your voice, their enhancements only apply for the person you're speaking to.

Not only will the next MacBook Pro have OLED technology and a touchscreen display, it will reportedly weigh less.

As reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the upcoming MacBook Pro might be "significantly lighter" thanks to Apple reworking the laptop's interiors by miniaturizing parts and rearranging components.

Gurman reiterated that the touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED should be coming out next month, alongside the first iPad mini to similarly feature OLED.

As for the current MacBook Pro models, the laptop starts at 3.4 pounds with the 14-inch model and can weigh up to 4.7 pounds for the 16-inch version.

The soon-to-be-revealed MacBook Pro with touchscreen and OLED tech could represent a m…

The 48-megapixel main camera is the first on an iPhone to feature variable aperture.

This offers greater control over the amount of light in the scene as well as the depth of field.

Try shooting the same subject at each and compare them — you'll notice differences in lighting, noise and background.

Switch to f/4 to reduce the aperture; you'll have less light, but everyone in the photo will look sharper.

But remember: this control only works on the main lens, in 1x and 2x modes.

You probably know that a game's frame rate indicates how many frames your GPU renders each second.

Your monitor's refresh rate is the number of times per second it can display a new image.

VSync tries to fix screen tearing by making the GPU wait for the monitor's refresh cycle before firing the next frame.

So, on a 60Hz display, the game would typically render around 60 frames per second.

Even if your graphics card can handle more than that, VSync makes it wait until the monitor can display the next frame.

The fourth major installment in the RuneScape world is coming and it's being developed using Unreal Engine.

Jagex announced the next game during RuneFest, its annual convention for all things RuneScape, with a working title of RS4 and an accompanying trailer.

RS4 will add to Jagex's roster of RuneScape games, including RuneScape, Old School RuneScape and RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

While the new MMO will still be set in the same world, Jagex explained that RS4 takes place in the Sixth Age, years after the events of RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Players will start in the Ashenfall area that was first revealed in the RuneScape: Dragonwilds game, which served as Jagex's expansion into the open-world sur…

What causes screen tearing is pretty simple: your GPU renders frames at a different rate than your monitor displays them.

Imagine the image rendering pipeline like a two-person assembly line, where your GPU "hands" video frames to your monitor.

Sometimes a GPU will outpace the monitor, rendering up to hundreds more frames each second than the monitor can display.

The incongruities between those frames are the dreaded screen tearing effect, where, for example, the top of a tree appears to the side of its trunk.

These slices happen because two frames of video are taking up different horizontal bands of the screen at the same time.

Roselyn Campbell, an Egyptologist and bioarchaeologist at Purdue University, studied dozens of ancient Egyptian skulls that Petrie had excavated.

The complexes included the royal tombs, chamber tombs and enclosures likely employed for funerary rituals, and surrounding subsidiary burials.

“Retainer sacrifice is a type of human sacrifice where those close to a ruler are killed when the ruler dies,” said Campbell.

Some of the 18 skulls also carried evidence of sharp-force trauma, such as a chopping injury on one person’s eye.

What happened to people in other subsidiary burials is also still unclear.

President Trump officially named an artificial intelligence czar to lead his new AI task force—which he refers to as his “SI” task force.

In a post on Truth Social, the President said that he is appointing four government leaders to lead the task force, freshly renamed Super Intelligence Force (SIF) after Trump’s attempt to rebrand artificial intelligence as Super Intelligence.

“The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government’s engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies,” Trump wrote.

Trump announced last month in an unexpected Truth Social post that he was forming an A…

In a different post on Sunday, Musk declared that “SpaceX is a super intelligence company.”Also on Sunday, Trump announced the creation of a task force called the Super Intelligence Force, led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton—now the nation’s SI czar, apparently.

Almost two years since it was first re-announced, George A. Romero’s Twilight Of the Dead wrapped has recently wrapped filming.

For fans, this news has been a long time coming, as the film’s meant to conclude the filmmaker’s long-running zombie series.

After 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, new installments came out whenever Romero and company were able to make them, and he’d co-written a treatment for Twilight with screenwriter Paolo Zelati.

Flashforward to 2021, his widow Suzanne Romero announced that Twilight Of the Dead would be revived.

There’s currently no release window for Twilight of the Dead, but at least you horror fans know it’ll soon exist for them to see.

Next week marks the two-episode premiere of VisionQuest, concluding the saga that began with WandaVision.

Over the weekend, the first three WandaVision episodes were made free on YouTube.

Those episodes—”Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience,” “Don’t Touch That Dial,” and “Now in Color”—are key to establishing this trilogy’s building blocks.

Along with setting up Wanda and Vision’s personal journeys, they introduce key characters like Monica Rambeau, Agatha Harkness, and the couple’s babies, Billy and Tommy.

Whichever way you decide to get caught up, VisionQuest begins October 14 on Disney+.

Elon Musk says he’s embracing the term “Super Intelligence” so completely that he’ll even rename one of his companies for apparent consistency.

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta have been using the compound word version of the term “superintelligence” in recent years, largely to describe an aspiration.

It’s amazing it lived on so long actually.”As I wrote before, the business leaders who attended Trump’s AI business summit last week are slowly coming to terms with what they signed up for.

It’s not at all clear how much—if at all—Trump is pressuring these business leaders via back channels to dig deeper “Super Intelligence” holes for themselves.

And Musk famously fails to …

Digger is finally out in theaters, and it…sounds like a lot.

Despite that, Cruise has been all smiles and pride on social media, sharing photos of the cast and crew during production.

DIGGER is officially in theaters and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to create this film alongside such talented artists.

Paramount will own Warner Bros. in a few days, making this the 103-year-old studio’s pre-Skydance movie.

Those of you keeping track of the many game-to-TV adaptations, go on and the long-lasting MMO Runescape to your list.

During this weekend’s RuneFest event, UK developer Jagex announced a TV series created with Charlie “MoistCr1TiKaL” White.

This RuneScape series will be handled by Lyrical Animation, which is also doing White’s Godslap adaptation.

“For 25 years, our players have helped shape Runescape’s extraordinary world, its characters and its stories,” said Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy.

It’s early days, but we’re excited to explore that potential with Charlie and the team at Lyrical Animation, and we wanted our players to be the first to know.”Development on the RuneScape series is ea…

If you don’t have Disney+ but want to legally watch Percy Jackson & the Olympians, good news: now you can via Netflix.

Thanks to a recent agreement struck between the two companies, Percy and other Disney media is on everyone’s favorite streamer.

Starting Monday, October 4, Percy’s first two seasons will join the latter platform ahead of season three launching in November, joined by the five Ice Age movies.

In 2027, this’ll expand to include Disney Animation and Pixar flicks like Soul, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Elio.

In the case of Percy Jackson and Ice Age, the benefits are clear.

Those with a collector mindset already know figures for key characters are coming, starting with Doctor Doom.

Hot Toys previously announced a figure back at San Diego Comic-Con, but naturally, there’s more than one for you to spend your money on.

That’s where Steve Rogers comes in, as Hot Toys’ 1/6th scale figure for Chris Evans’ returning hero gives him with a reforged Mjolnir and a jacket to keep him warm this winter.

Accessory-wise, it comes with four pairs of interchangeable hands and two pairs of interchangeable arms.

At time of writing, Hot Toys hasn’t revealed how much either Avengers: Doomsday figure will cost.

Earlier this week, news broke that Prime Video greenlit a new Spider-Man show.

Sony has long tried to make the most of its relationship with Marvel by centering movies around the Spider-adjacent characters it owns.

And if there’s a medium where this would probably be at its strongest, it’d be in television.

Look at the Sinister Six, look at Knull, and look at unrealized projects for Spider-Gwen, Black Cat, and so on—when it comes to Spider-Man, the studio just can’t help but overreach.

These days, the tolerance for repeating successes and mistakes is getting shorter and shorter, and goodwill isn’t something Sony can afford to continue eroding.

Now that it’s got Warner Bros.’ catalog to play with, one of Skydance’s first plans is to get Barbie 2 off the ground.

You may recall earlier this summer a report claiming WB wanted to get a sequel going.

But since Skydance is in need of movies to make and likes making crowd-pleasers, Barbie 2 may indeed happen.

This, however, is just a brief mention the outlet’s story, so at time of writing, it’s unknown how negotiations have fared with Gerwig, Gosling, or Robbie.

But should Skydance get its way again, it may not be too long before it’s once again Barbie’s world.

Fight Fight Fight, promoter of President Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin, is marketing a third event at which he is advertised as the featured speaker.

Everyone in the room is also promised Trump fragrance, a commemorative poster, a trading card, and a Fight Fight Fight Trump watch.

Those invitees had spent a cumulative $148 million buying TRUMP, and Trump spoke for about 20 minutes.

I’ve been on a call with my insurance provider for over an hour when the fire alarm in my apartment starts blaring.

It overwhelms the voice on the other line, which comes through the speakers of my new Meta Nova smart glasses.

Turns out, they hadn’t heard the sirens at all, just me screeching, “OH JESUS WHAT IS HAPPENING?” The six-mic system on Meta’s new smart glasses does quite a good job of culling background noise over calls.

This may not be a use case that would inspire someone to buy a new pair of Meta’s smart glasses.

Each week, senior writer Molly Taft tackles a topic around this midterm season’s biggest issue: data centers.

On January 1, a new tax windfall will kick in that could benefit scores of rural data center projects—all thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The new rules “may significantly lower barriers for large-scale, capital-intensive projects in rural areas—most notably hyperscale data centers,” said a statement from Ways and Means Committee chair Jason Smith last year.

“The economic case for building data centers in designated rural opportunity zones becomes far more compelling” with the new program, he continued.

“Right now, the only requirement to get the benefits is capital investm…

The Moon is nearing the end of its current lunar cycle, with the New Moon now just around the corner.

The cycle takes roughly 29.5 days to complete, taking the Moon from New Moon to Full Moon and back again.

As of Monday, Oct. 5, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waning Crescent phase, with 31% of its surface visible.

That's what creates the Moon's different phases, from a thin crescent through to a half Moon and, eventually, the Full Moon.

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Tom Cruise's latest is on track to be this year's biggest box office bomb.

The Tom Cruise climate change satire, directed by Oscar winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu, made $8 million at the domestic box office over its opening weekend, Variety reports.

Its international earnings totaled $12 million, bringing Digger's opening weekend total to $20 million.

It is also the last Warner Bros. film released before Warner Bros.

Digger has the lowest box-office opening for Cruise since 2007's war drama Lions for Lambs, which earned $6.7 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend.

It was the battle of the video games on last night's Saturday Night Live.

Only one game still stands strong against it: Nintendo's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, out Nov. 5.

To discuss the rival release dates, Jost invited GTA VI main character Jason (Marcello Hernandez) and The Legend of Zelda main character Link (Mikey Day) to the Weekend Update desk.

As Jason, Hernandez hypes up the cool factor of GTA VI, saying it promises "destruction, chaos, and sex."

He also labels The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as TMPNG: Too Many Puzzles, No Guns.

In its Oct. 3 cold open, staffers of the Republican National Committee (Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla) invite Republican politicians to film ads telling their base to get out and vote.

Then comes a wheelchair-bound Senator Mitch McConnell (Mikey Day), who throws up a peace sign and almost cuts the cold open short with an ill-timed "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"

After a brief appearance by Vice President JD Vance (Jeremy Culhane), whose ad (and presidential ambitions) are hastily dismissed, the cold open dials up the dude bro aggression with the appearance of Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth.

The rumors were true, all of them (and then some): OpenAI today is releasing GPT-6 Astra, a new frontier model that the company says likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence (AGI), its long sought goal of "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." In a closed a press briefing earlier today, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman offered an unusually direct formulation of that message, ending the session with: “Welcome to the AGI era.”That is an unusually consequential framing even by the standards of frontier AI launches. But for enterprises, the more immediate significance of Astra may be considerably more concrete: Op…

Meta’s newest AI model Muse Spark 1.3, unveiled yesterday, is faster and more performant on third-party benchmarks than its predecessor — with a caveat.

Microsoft AI on Thursday released MAI-Transcribe-2, a speech-recognition model the company says is faster, more accurate, and cheaper than anything OpenAI, Google, or ElevenLabs currently sells. Then it priced the thing at 10 cents per hour of audio.That figure deserves a pause. When Microsoft AI shipped the first model in this line just five months ago, it charged $0.36 an hour. Thursday's early-bird price cuts that by roughly 72%. For an enterprise processing 100,000 hours of call-center audio a year — a modest volume for a large bank or telecom — the bill drops from $36,000 to $10,000. At that level, transcription stops being a line item anyone argues about.The release arrives as Microso…

Google keeps cranking out Flash models: the company on Wednesday announced two versions of a new 3.8 Flash. The variants include a standard Flash, a “workhorse” model for agentic tasks, software development, and multi-step reasoning, and Flash Cyber optimized for vulnerability detection and mitigation.Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an X post that 3.8 Flash delivers “significant leaps” from 3.7 Flash across software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning. For instance, it outperformed many large frontier models on the DeepSWE coding benchmark, at far lower cost. Meanwhile, Flash Cyber is the company’s “most capable” cybersecurity model, Pichai said; it also matches frontier-l…

Meta is entering the increasingly competitive real-time speech-to-text market with Muse Voice Transcribe, a new audio perception model that combines streaming transcription, endpoint detection and speaker diarization for more than 20 speakers — at a public API price of just $0.18 per hour of processed audio.Developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs, Muse is designed to process speech while it happens rather than waiting for a recording to finish. Meta’s launch post for Muse Voice Transcribe says the model supports long audio exceeding an hour, seamless multilingual code-switching, language and keyword biasing, and diarization without a separate post-processing pipeline.

When enterprise buyers build out their next AI accelerator evaluation list this cycle, they're more likely to put a non-Nvidia chip on it than Nvidia's own next-generation GPU. According to VentureBeat's July VB Pulse survey of 170 AI infrastructure respondents, 39.4% said they're likely to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators — AWS Trainium, Google TPU, AMD Instinct, Intel Gaudi or in-house ASICs — over the next 12 months, compared with 25.3% for Nvidia Blackwell (GB300) or other next-generation Nvidia GPUs, a 14-point gap.Nvidia remains the default in most production environments. But organizations are building real optionality into their accelerator strategy rather than treating Nvidia as th…

When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures.A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often not missing. The model has the information encoded parametrically but fails to surface it during generation. Their experiments show that frontier models like GPT-5 and Gemini-3 encode 95-98% of tested facts. This indicates that in many cases, recall, rather than encoding, is the primary bottleneck for factual accura…

The two names refer to the same underlying model. Fable 5.1 is the generally available version, with Anthropic’s production safeguards in place. Mythos 5.1 is available through restricted-access programs for vetted cybersecurity and life-sciences organizations that need capabilities normally constrained by those safeguards.For enterprise buyers, however, the release is about more than another round of benchmark gains. Anthropic is simultaneously changin…

Perplexity today launched hybrid compute for its agentic platform, Computer, a system that lets a single AI agent split its work between frontier models running in the cloud and smaller open-weight models running locally on Apple silicon Macs — routing sensitive data to the local machine so it never leaves the device.The company says it is the first time an AI agent can begin a task in the cloud and dynamically hand off the confidential portions of that same task to a model running on the user's own hardware, without restarting the job or losing context.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysAn issue is affecting iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T.

If you’re having trouble with your iPhone 18 Pro Max on the AT&T network, you’re not alone.

More from ZDNETHow to fix the AT&T issue on iPhone 18 Pro MaxAT&T hasn’t explained what’s causing the issue.

The problems only affect the iPhone 18 Pro Max and not any other models (not even other iPhone 18 models), so it’s possibly tied to that model’s Qualcomm modem (the other iPhone 18 models use the Apple C2 modem).

Action needed: An important Apple Software update for your iPhone 18 Pro Max is available.

The scam starts with a sponsored Google link.

A new scam involving ChatGPT has emerged, and it might lead you to install malware on your computer if you’re not careful.

Artie Beaty/ZDNETThe custom GPT scamThe scam starts when you search “ChatGPT” in Google.

Like almost every Google search, you’ll see sponsored results, or paid ads, above the authentic search results.

What’s most convincing is that you’re on the actual ChatGPT domain and your account is logged in (if you were before).

If you’ve had trouble using tap-to-pay with your Pixel phone over the last few weeks, you’re not alone.

Turn on these 4 security settings to guard your cards and IDsIt’s not clear if the issue is with Google Wallet or the device.

Based on user reports, though, there are a few things you can try to get tap-to-pay working again.

Clear your Wallet cache: A few users reported that clearing the Wallet app’s cache permanently fixed the problem.

Use your watch instead: If you have a smartwatch with the Google Wallet app, you should defer to it for a while.

Rogue AI models, friendly AI hacking innocent companies, potentially thousands of AI-related security incidents being investigated, and AI agents acting as new entry points into corporate networks.

Also: Who’s responsible for catching rogue AI agents?

If so, we may be on the verge of a new hiring drive for AI-expert CISO counterparts: the CAISO, a chief AI security officer.

While the enterprise at large experiments with defining AI accountability and dividing responsibilities across different roles, technology can now assist businesses in maintaining control of their AI agents.

It’s easy to forget that each AI model, or agentic AI deployment, has an identity.

I actually remember SUSE Linux before it was SUSE Enterprise Linux or SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop.

According to the official openSUSE blog, “Leap 16.1 is the first Leap release to offer an Immutable Mode, a transactionally updated system with a read-only root filesystem.

Does that mean Leap Immutable will be a sort of “immutable light”?

The answer is a resounding “no.” After a bit of digging, it became clear that Leap Immutable will be a fully immutable distribution.

If you were to accidentally run a malicious script on an immutable system, it would be unable to alter anything in those immutable directories.

Added in iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, this tries to protect you from social engineering scams.

LLMjacking, the illegal use of AI resources, is a popular criminal trend in 2026.

Security experts warn that it’s not just artificial intelligence (AI) going rogue that we have to worry about — there’s also a booming underground economy for selling access to your AI models and computing power.

While cryptojacking describes stealing computing power to illicitly mine cryptocurrency, LLMjacking is the AI equivalent: using AI power and resources that don’t belong to you.

The rising cost of LLMjackingAs AI models offered by organizations, including OpenAI and Anthropic, continue to advance in sophistication, capacity, and skill, they require more computing power.

Pro, Business, and Enterprise users can start trying ChatGPT Space today on the desktop app and the web.

As in Google Slides, multiple users (and agents) can edit slides simultaneously; users can present directly from ChatGPT or export their slides to PowerPoint or Google, allegedly without disrupting formatting.

ChatGPT Work, launched in July as an answer to Claude Cowork, splices out non-coding-related tasks to give other types of workers an agentic boost.

Today, people develop ideas in ChatGPT, move the work elsewhere to share it, then bring feedback back to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT Space seems to do the same.

Elon Musk said Tesla’s robotaxis are still working on spotting animals that blend into the road at night, describing the problem as grey kittens on grey tarmac, as Austin’s hours moved to 11pm from 10pm.

The EU’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles votes on bloc-wide approval of the same camera-only sensor suite on 6 October.

Elon Musk says Tesla’s robotaxis still cannot reliably see pets on the road at night.

“Literally trying to avoid grey kittens on grey tarmac in the dark,” Musk said on Friday, as Electrek reported.

China’s industry ministry and six other agencies set 2030 as the date for the first large-scale use of all-solid-state batteries, though CATL’s chairman rates the technology four out of nine and calls million-vehicle use before 2030 very unlikely.

Masayoshi Son, who has put $64.6bn into OpenAI and calls bubble talk absurd, said in Kyoto that superintelligence in the wrong hands could become super dangerous and that countries must cooperate to control it.

Masayoshi Son says he is worried about AI safety.

Superintelligence in the wrong hands can become “super dangerous“, Son said on Sunday, as Bloomberg reported.

Seventeen countries endorsed his Kyoto Vision for a Golden Age of Science, which imagines robotic laboratories running hundreds of experiments at once.

The declaration calls the technology super intelligence throughout, five days after the executive order that made it the American government’s word.

Trump named the intelligence director Jay Clayton, the FTC chairman Andrew Ferguson, the Pentagon technology chief Emil Michael and the personnel director Scott Kupor to lead a Super Intelligence Force with no statutory authority or budget.

Trump has named four officials to run what he calls the Super Intelligence Force.

Its job is to coordinate the government’s dealings with consumers, public interest groups, religious organisations, critical infrastructure providers and super intelligence companies.

The force follows an executive order signed on 29 September, telling agencies to say super intelligence rather than artificial intelligence, and not to acknowledge the older term at all.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked Donald Trump to sanction the Russian and Chinese companies building Russia’s answer to Starlink, the Financial Times reported.

He has raised it with Trump several times, including at a recent meeting in New York.

A network for the front lineThe network, called Rassvet, is being built by Russian firm Bureau 1440.

“We know that China works on satellites, works on the possibility of helping Russia with a similar Starlink,” he said.

A Russian network of its own would give Moscow’s forces a link that the US and SpaceX cannot switch off.

Australian oral historian Shirleene Robinson thinks the bigger loss may be our ability to listen.

Fewer words every yearRobinson argues that people are already talking less, even as AI chatbots promise faster replies and so-called empathetic listening.

She points to research by psychologists at the University of Missouri–Kansas City and the University of Arizona.

They found people spoke about 338 fewer words a day for each year between 2005 and 2019, the University of Arizona said.

Voices from the archiveRobinson led the team behind the oral history collection at the National Library of Australia from 2018 to early 2024.

US authorities have arrested a California man accused of smuggling more than $300mn of computer servers packed with AI chips to China, the Justice Department said on Thursday.

Prosecutors say he used his company, Earthmade Computer, to ship the servers without the export licences the US Commerce Department requires.

Prosecutors say Lui used false paperwork to hide their true destination.

The Justice Department used the term super intelligence, the Trump administration’s new name for AI.

A wider crackdownThe US has long blocked China from buying top-end AI chips, such as those made by Nvidia.

The next financial crisis may not start in a bank at all, India’s central bank governor has warned.

Sanjay Malhotra said it could come from a war, a cyberattack or a tech failure, as Bloomberg reported.

AI in the mixThe Reserve Bank of India governor singled out AI, Business Today reported.

In August, the Financial Stability Board said AI-driven cyberattacks were now the top risk to the global financial system.

In June, the ECB’s Christine Lagarde warned AI could trigger financial crises.

Robinson led transparency work on OpenAI’s safety team, Bloomberg reported.

He wrote that the ChatGPT maker “has thrived by trial and error.”That approach no longer works, he argued, as AI grows more capable.

“My former colleagues are smart, work hard, and try to make good choices,” Robinson wrote.

Anthropic’s Dario Amodei has called for the industry to slow down, and OpenAI’s Sam Altman has backed the plan.

This week, OpenAI also shelved its Astra launch after the model failed its own safety tests

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has criticised AI leaders who warn of disaster but offer no fixes.

“This alarmism without solutions by some of the AI community, that’s not leadership,” Bessent said, as Bloomberg reported.

Bill Gates warned AI could cause a billion deaths.

“We cannot lose our lead to the Chinese,” Bessent said.

Bessent discussed AI with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York in September.

She builds systems where a single human decision triggers cascading updates across websites, scheduling, and finance, with stopgates for human oversight.

NBER research found AI boosted support-agent productivity 14% on average, but the technology helped people perform work, not eliminate the need to understand it.

Its research points to workflow redesign as one of the strongest factors associated with financial impact from generative AI.

The business may have excellent software at every stage and still have a broken system.

The truly revolutionary AI application for business now has nothing to do with generating another piece of content.

Google raised the Pixel 10a from $499 to $599 seven months after launch, with no change to the phone, blaming memory costs that its own vice president said had risen from $2.80 per gigabyte to $12.

Google has raised the price of the Pixel 10a by $100 to $599, seven months after putting it on sale.

The Pixel 11 launched in August at $899, a hundred dollars above the Pixel 10.

The Pixel 11 Pro dropped from 16GB to 12GB at the 256GB tier, and the company is reworking Android to need less.

A $599 Pixel on a two-year-old chip is the other way of answering the same problem.

Novig said trading volume rose nearly 94% and first-time depositors increased more than 218% across the 20 days before and after its Sept. 9 “Just Sports” campaign starring Sydney Sweeney, according to CNBC’s report of co-founder Jacob Fortinsky’s figures.

Growth across several measuresNovig also reported that active users climbed 96% month over month and 260% year over year in September.

The ad presented Novig as a sports-focused platform, with Sweeney describing its exclusions of contracts involving wars, deaths and politics.

New York has moved to sue Polymarket as prediction markets offer sports contracts outside the state’s sportsbook tax framework, raising questions about a gambling-tax base worth more than $1 billion a year.

New York accounts for roughly one-third of all state tax collections on sports-betting revenue nationwide, while licensed sportsbooks face a 51% state tax rate.

A Tax Policy Center analysis estimates that if 1% of New York sportsbook activity shifted to prediction markets, the state could lose $13 million in revenue.

Sportsbook revenue can fluctuate even without competition from prediction markets.

The unresolved question for the state is whether prediction markets can keep expanding wit…

Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Webster is drafting legislation that would require licensed online gaming companies operating in the state to send users monthly activity statements.

The available account does not specify which other figures a statement would include, when operators would have to send it, or how compliance would be enforced.

That is Webster’s characterization of the research, not an independently established finding in the available proposal details.

Gambling Harm, discussing the Australian research, said it found limited effects from activity statements and noted that reports of changed behavior were self-reported.

If Webster files a bill, its text will determine which companies must…

Legal mobile sports betting began in North Carolina on March 11, 2024.

The state’s tax rules are part of the operating environment for sportsbooks, with North Carolina’s sports-betting tax framework shaping the market alongside continuing bettor demand.

North Carolina law directs $2 million each year from digital sports-betting tax proceeds to the Department of Health and Human Services for gambling-addiction education and treatment.

Morgan Coyner, executive vice president of the Addiction Professionals of North Carolina, said the amount is not enough to address a growing problem.

The question of whether funding keeps pace with the market’s scale has also featured in discussion of North Car…

Cboe plans to launch KPI-based binary contracts for 23 U.S.-listed companies in October 2026, subject to regulatory approval, with Robinhood set to be the first retail broker to offer them.

The unit told WGME’s CBS13 I-Team that it is watching AI use both in Maine and nationally.

What Maine regulators are monitoringThe New York Times reported that DraftKings used machine learning to analyze customers’ betting histories and identify people most likely to keep gambling when offered promotions.

Predictive systems used to shape sportsbook promotions have also drawn scrutiny around DraftKings’ promotional targeting.

The Maine report did not describe the scope or status of the Massachusetts investigation.

Monitoring continues without a fixed timetableMaine’s Gambling Control Unit says it is monitoring AI use locally and nationally, but no hearing, rulemaking timetable or enforcement…

DraftKings faces a proposed class action in federal court in Boston alleging it used artificial intelligence to identify customers likely to respond to gambling promotions, as Massachusetts regulators examine how sportsbooks use AI.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has said it will look into AI use by DraftKings and other sports-betting companies.

He seeks to represent DraftKings customers who, according to the complaint, were flagged by the company’s AI model as likely to respond to incentives to keep betting.

The filing follows earlier scrutiny of DraftKings’ alleged use of predicted customer losses to target promotions.

“DraftKings does not use AI to target customers based on losses, …

New Jersey senators James Beach and Vincent Polistina are sponsoring a bill that would replace criminal penalties for underage gambling at licensed casinos and simulcasting facilities with civil fines of up to $2,000.

The proposal would also expose casino licensees, employees and some adults to fines if they knowingly allow underage gambling.

That provision would preserve a defense in a qualifying age-verification situation; it would not change the proposed penalties for other violations.

Atlantic City would be the main location affected because it is home to New Jersey’s licensed casino industry.

If lawmakers pass the bill and it becomes law, underage gambling would remain illegal, but the…

New Hampshire’s Senate narrowly advanced SB 104 by a 13-11 vote, moving a proposal to legalize and regulate online casino games to the Senate Finance Committee.

What SB 104 would allowSB 104 would put online casino gaming under state oversight and permit digital versions of games including blackjack, poker, roulette, baccarat and craps.

Lottery projections cited in Action Network’s report estimate online casino gaming could generate about $5 million in its first year, $20 million in its second and $30 million by its third.

Other states’ approaches to regulated online gambling, including Alberta’s online gambling market, offer a point of comparison for operator participation and player prote…

Polymarket has named Goldman Sachs veteran Lisa Mantil head of institutional growth, putting Wall Street participation and liquidity at the center of its next phase of expansion.

Mantil will lead the company’s work with investment managers, trading firms, corporations and banks.

Building for institutional participationPolymarket said Mantil will help develop the products, infrastructure and liquidity that institutions need to participate in prediction markets at scale.

Mantil’s position is specifically focused on institutional access, while the company’s stated priorities for that effort are products, infrastructure and liquidity.

DraftKings plans to invest more in its DKeX prediction market, where Bernstein estimates consumer trading volume could reach $1 billion by December, even as Kalshi led reported NFL opening-week sports volume with 76%.

DKeX accounted for 3% of that sports trading, according to Needham data cited in the report.

The figures underline the gap DraftKings must close: DKeX ranked third overall in prediction-market trading volume in the third week of September, behind Kalshi and Polymarket.

Wynn Resorts’ Craig Billings, MGM Resorts International’s Bill Hornbuckle and Caesars Entertainment’s Tom Reeg used their G2E main-stage discussion to challenge the growth of prediction markets and defend regulated gaming.

Miller contrasted that model with what he called prediction markets’ “back door” approach, arguing that platforms bypass state laws, regulators, tribal sovereignty and tax structures.

Reeg warned that a lack of oversight could damage confidence in both prediction markets and operators in regulated jurisdictions.

Since the unveiling of iPhone Duo, the idea of all major interface navigation elements being accessible from your thumb has been really interesting.

iPhone Duo solves both of these problems by still offering a reasonably large rectangular viewing area to the left of the dock and navigation area on the right.

Ever since Apple showed this off, many enthusiasts have brought up the idea of an “iPhone Solo,” ie an iPhone Duo sized display, except it isn’t a foldable.

iPhone Duo rethought what a smartphone’s form factor should be.

An iPhone Solo could easily happen if people receive the Duo’s outer screen well.

Right now, if your AirPods need to charge and you plug your iPhone in, you’ll get a notification to also charge your AirPods.

This is because Apple figures that it’d probably be no hassle to charge your AirPods while you’re charging your iPhone, and that reminder has saved me from unknowingly having dead AirPods many times.

At least to me, it seems obvious to add a notification to tell users that one of their AirPods isn’t charging.

It’d be such a simple fix to such a major annoyance, and it’d be yet another instance of Apple magic letting you know that one of your AirPods isn’t charging, before it’s too late.

The Apple Watch Series 10 I owned prior was only purchased this January, despite initially coming out in September 2024.

That said, Apple Watch Series 12 was a highly compelling purchase, despite the fact that the two largely share the same design language.

So yes, the Series 10 and Series 12 largely share the same design.

However, the new features of Apple Watch Series 12 really fascinated me.

All in all, my purchase of the Apple Watch Series 12 can be summarized by the fact that the Apple Watch made a major push into getting serious as a health wearable.

Instead of utilizing the A18 chip, it sounds like the next entry-level iPad will equip the A19 chip.

Another possibility is that the A19 iPad might offer a new name.

With the debut of the MacBook Neo, Apple marketing exec Greg Joswiak pointed out that calling the MacBook Neo just “MacBook” would leave it without an identity.

That’ll accompany other products like the M6 MacBook Air, A19 Pro MacBook Neo, M7 14-inch MacBook Pro, and more.

Apple explains that the software updates will help prevent future issues for iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T.

Apple says that iPhone 18 Pro Max users who have already lost service will need a hardware replacement.

As we reported this morning, iPhone 18 Pro Max users affected by this problem can’t connect to AT&T’s network for calls, texts, and data.

The connectivity issues aren’t impacting every iPhone 18 Pro Max user on AT&T.

With Apple reportedly planning to unveil new products on October 13, here’s when the company could announce an event, based on the timing of its previous October announcements.

Will Apple hold an October event?

Since 2010, Apple has held an October event just 10 times, with the most recent one being the Halloween-themed “Scary Fast” event on the evening of October 30, 2023.

By contrast, Apple has only held a November event once, in 2020, when its “One More Thing” event introduced the first Macs powered by the M1 Apple silicon chip.

Which new products do you think Apple will announce at the rumored October event?

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex. Ну и по пути сообщает, что у Codex более 2 млн пользователей — в три раза больше, чем в январе. При этом от лица разработчиков заявляю - мы всё больше предпочитаем Claude Code.

Первые впечатления от MacBook Neo — новый самый младший ноутбук от Apple. Он вообще не кажется бюджетным: яркий дисплей и алюминиевый корпус, но клавиатура немного хлипкая, что предсказуемо было.Теперь я не очень понимаю, в чем его отличие от айпада. Видимо, выбор между "встроенная клавиатура" и "тач экран". Ну, рано или поздно они должны будут сойтись.https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/macbook-neo-hands-on-apples-599-laptop-feels-shockingly-great-142313318.html

Сразу две новости рядом: Eight Sleep, продающая умные аксессуары для матрасов, которые отслеживают режим сна и регулируют температуру, привлекла $50 млн при оценке в $1,5 млрд, тогда как в 2021 году её оценка составляла $500 млн. И это для меня удивительно — все тесты показали, что их матрасы прямо никуда не годятся по точности отслеживания. Идея регуляции температуры во время сна все еще привлекательна, жаль, что их не возят в разные страны.В это же время Whoop, производящая фитнес‑браслеты без экранов, сообщает, что планирует увеличить численность персонала максимум на 75% в 2026 году, создав более 600 должностей в преддверии вероятного IPO.

Polymarket удаляет долго существовавшие рынки, позволявшие пользователям делать ставки на вероятность ядерного взрыва на фоне ударов по Ирану. В прошлом году совокупный обьем ставок на эти события был $1,7 млн, что не так уж и мало. 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
