Как простая вставка JSON в SQLite могла отнимать столько процессорного времени?

Спойлер: в проект его привёл компилятор cc из Zig и реализованная в нём замена функций стандартной библиотеки.

Небольшая проблема Zig становится серьёзной проблемой производительностиПроект написан не на Zig, а на Rust.

К тому же это объясняет, почему они проявились в Linux, но не возникали на моём Mac (где Zig при компиляции SQLite не использовался).

Токенизация файла JSON размером 1,2 МБ, передаваемого SQLite, при использовании этого паттерна происходит примерно в 12 тысяч раз медленнее.

Мой VPN-сервер стоял на Hetzner, и из России он работал странно: одни подключения летали, другие висели до таймаута.

Тестовые файлы OVH, Vultr и Scaleway повели себя так же, значит, дело и не в Hetzner.

Это и не блокировка по адресу: при ней соединение не открывается вовсе.

Работая с машиной на 486, я не обладал особыми техническими знаниями об оборудовании.

И в ней не используется эмуляция, это реальная система на процессоре 486:В этой статье я расскажу, как этого добился.

Процессор 486 подключён одновременно и к VGA‑чипу, и к FPGA.

Это и не удивительно, ведь Quake разрабатывался с расчётом на Pentium, а не на 486.

Конечно, такой дисплей не очень‑то соответствует духу ретротехники, зато отлично подойдёт тем, кто хочет сосредоточиться на играх, а не на технологиях отображения.

Одному и в свободное время такой проект не реализовать: тут и физическая модель, и графика, и звук.

Примерно к 10–20 микросекундам температура падает до 156 МэВ (около 1,8×10¹² К), и кварки связываются по три в протоны и нейтроны.

Но фотонов в 1,6 миллиарда раз больше, чем протонов и нейтронов, и в хвосте их спектра всегда хватает таких, которые разбивают дейтрон, едва он образовался.

Наблюдения (24,5 ± 0,3%) согласуются и с моделью, и с точными кодами.

Модель сообщает, сколько реакций каждого типа произошло, и на экране разыгрывается соответствующее число слияний и распадов.

Его можно прочитать, нарисовать одним memcpy , и в нём, увы, нет никакой магии... многие так и делали, и делают.

А он есть...Поверхности DirectDrawНовенький DirectDraw предлагал хранить картинки в «поверхностях», в идеале прямо в видеопамяти, и рисовать их аппаратным блиттером, что на бумаге звучало как бесплатная производительность.

Номера картинок были жёстко зашиты в код и в сохранения, поэтому поменять содержимое слота можно, а сдвинуть номера уже нельзя.

В Pharaoh после старта в памяти лежит около 39 мегабайтов пикселей в тридцати слотах, плюс 3,2 мегабайта на таблицу заголовков, плюс экранные буферы.

Задача, как обычно, оказалась не в том, чтобы нарисовать быстрее, просто в нужный мом…

К счастью, я не первым прошёл этот путь: кто‑то уже занимался реверс‑инжинирингом конкретно этого устройства (https://github.com/andronedev/carminat‑tomtom‑live‑re/blob/main/README.md).

Сейчас все сообщения предваряет код НЖТИ, но во время начала работы станции в середине 70-х вместо него в эфир шло УЗБ76.

Кто‑то перепутал кириллические буквы В и З — и в результате станция закрепилась под названием УВБ-76.

Безусловно, речь идёт о сообщениях, прекрасно понятных и отправителям, и адресатам, и которые из‑за краткости сообщений почти так же невозможно взломать без доступа к ключам, как и шифр Вернама.

В этой статье — какие модели я выбрал, как они справляются с русским текстом на картинке и что на них построено: постобработка и ИИ-стилист.

Замерял на своём ПК: imagecaster-server на Debian, RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 ГБ, разрешение 1536×1024, по 10 изображений на модель (Flux — 5).

И для честности: полная версия Flux 1 в fp16 весит около 23 ГБ и на моей карте с 16 ГБ не запускается.

В постобработке есть режим «Правка»: словами описываешь, что примерить человеку на фото, или загружаешь фото одежды.

Общее число столкновений будет начинаться с тех же цифр, что и число π. В нашем примере это 3141 столкновение.

Обозначим массы кубиков как m 1 и m 2 , а их скорости — как v 1 и v 2 .

Несмотря на то, что v 1 и v 2 в результате столкновения кубиков будут меняться, значение этого выражения должно оставаться постоянным.

Общий импульс двух кубиков равен m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 .

Эта зелёная линия объединяет в себе все пары скоростей, которые дают тот же общий импульс, что и в начальной системе.

Ноутбук молчал, потребления висело на нуле, на тумблер реакции не было — а значит пора его разобрать и изучить входные цепи питания!

Собственно именно в этом и было главное отличие 486DX от SX — в SX FPU не было (и некоторые биосы пытались его эмулировать за счет аппаратных исключений), из‑за чего шёл далеко не весь бизнес‑софт и игры.

Диагностику необходимо было начинать не с него, а с проверки предохранителя около тумблера кнопки включения, который оказался в обрыве.

Есть такая процедура в официальных магазинах Apple — «Подключение и персонализация».

После сканирования продавец видит данные об учётке клиента и бесплатные пробные подписки, которые ему можно подключить.

Но продавцы якобы обманом подключали покупателям подписки с автопродлением, о чём рассказывает в своём расследовании Луис Россман.

Apple до недавнего времени отслеживала такой показатель работы продавцов, как «Коэффициент подписки на услуги».

После выхода видео Россмана Apple перестала отслеживать данный показатель, но в комментарии для MacRumors заявила, что он просто менее актуален в праздничный сезон.

В минувшую пятницу Джеймс Ганн и Питер Сафран внезапно для себя узнали, что их на посте руководителя DC Studios заменит Джереми Лэтчем (продюсер «Железного человека», «Мстителей» и др.).

Причиной перестановок стали нежелание гендиректора Skydance Дэвида Эллисона (Warner Bros. принадлежит Skydance) разбираться в планах Ганна и Сафрана, а также их злоупотребление творческой свободой.

Якобы парочка неохотно делилась готовым материалом и планами на будущее с остальным руководством DC.

Банальное неудовлетворение сборами уже вышедших фильмов идёт в ту же копилку.

Известно, что от дальнейших планов Ганна и Сафрана откажутся.

Apple отгрузила свыше 264 000 раскладушек за первые десять дней продаж в Китае, в то время как «широкие фолды» Xiaomi и Samsung смогли добраться до планки в 119 000 и 71 000 проданных устройств лишь за два с небольшим месяца.

Об этом рассказал авторитетный инсайдер Ice Universe.

Источников и методов подсчёта он, впрочем, не раскрыл, так что джентльмену придётся верить на слово!

Лидером по продажам в сегменте широких раскладушек в Китае остаётся HUAWEI Pura X Max, который насчитывает 1,17 миллиона проданных устройств, но эту цифру он сумел накопить лишь за 190 дней, в то время как «Дуо» взял 20 % от этой величины за десять суток.

Автор поста предварительно снизил потребление каждой карточки до 500 Вт, но это его от оплавившихся проводов не спасло.

Лопающиеся дисплеи iPhone Duo, которые, как считалось, приходят в негодность из-за конструкции шарнира, на самом деле трескаются из-за дефектных материалов от поставщиков, — сообщил китайский инсайдер Ice Universe со ссылкой на своего коллегу Kang.

Отмечается, что компания способна отследить такие устройства по серийным номерам и в теории предупреждать владельцев о такой вероятности.

Возможно, так поход в магазин для замены iPhone Duo станет более предсказуемым.

С другой стороны, есть ощущение, что этот инсайд размывает вину за косяк.

Именно Apple выбирает поставщиков для своих устройств, и если конечный продукт выходит абы каким, то и ответственность лежит на ней.

Аналитики из TrendForce подсчитали, насколько часто производители ставят в новые смартфоны оперативную память из старых б/у трубок.

В этом году прогнозируют, что 3–4 % от всех смартфонов на мировом рынке будет поставляться со старыми чипами памяти.

Большая часть таких случаев приходится на модули LPDDR4X на 4 ГБ в смартфонах дешевле 1300 юаней (или 16 тысяч рублей).

Так как цены на память в 2027 году продолжат расти, TrendForce предполагает рост повторного использования памяти до доли в 7–9 % от всего проданных смартфонов в мире.

О надёжности таких смартфонов выводы делайте сами.

В приложении «Яндекс Пэй» появилось уведомление о том, что пользователи активной подписки «Плюса» могут тратить баллы вне сервисов «Яндекса».

Погасить покупку баллами можно на площадках партнёров и даже на кассе, если выбрать оплату QR-кодом.

Нюанс состоит в том, что система сама определяет, сколько баллов списать: либо все доступные, либо «максимально возможное число».

При этом можно будет добавить к баллам свои деньги для покупки с любой карты, добавленной в «Яндекс Пэй».

Пока новоиспечённый гендир компании Джон Тернус рассказывает об успешном запуске Siri, в кулуарах Apple он даёт нагоняй всем, кто медлит, — сообщает Марк Гурман из Bloomberg.

Тернус требует от главы отдела разработки ПО Крейга Федериги ускорить внедрение ИИ в системы Apple.

Отставание компании в этой сфере очевидно, однако сейчас проблема кроется в стиле управления Федериги.

Крейг — знатный контролёр, и он курирует разработку почти каждой функции.

Программистам дают больше времени на написание кода и меньше на его внедрение: с последним должны помочь нейронки.

Спустя 8 лет Bethesda показала второй тизер The Elder Scrolls VI, где официально объявила название новой части — Sentinel.

Проект Darling, развивающий похожую на Wine прослойку для запуска macOS-приложений в Linux, утвердил возможность применения AI-инструментов в разработке. В состав Darling теперь официально разрешено принимать код, созданный через AI, но при выполнении определённых требований. Решение принято в условиях недостатка разработчиков и ресурсов у проекта, а также на фоне постоянного роста числа проприетарных фреймворков Apple (если в macOS 10.14 было 273 публичных и 878 приватных фреймворков, то в macOS 27 стало 464 и 2754 соответственно).

Разработчики проекта Asahi Linux, занимающегося портированием Linux на компьютеры Mac с ARM-чипами Apple Silicon, объявили о переходе с использования пермиссивной лицензии MIT на копилефт лицензию GPLv2+.

Некоторые недобросовестные производители злоупотребляют правами, предоставляемыми лицензией MIT, и заимствуют наработки Asahi для вытеснения оригинального проекта и агрессивной монетизации Linux на системах с чипами Apple Silicon.

Изначально проект Asahi выбрал лицензию MIT для поддержки и привлечения к участию разработчиков из BSD-систем и других свободных ОС, однако в современных реалиях проект оказался беззащитен от недобросовестного использования.

Разработчики проекта Multikernel, позволяющего на одном физическом компьютере выполнять несколько независимых экземпляров ядра без гипервизора и виртуализации, представили инструментарий kmorph, реализующий средства для быстрого восстановления после аварийной остановки ядра Linux или для замены ядра в Live-режиме без полноценной перезагрузки. Проект развивает Конг Ванг (Cong Wang), сопровождающий подсистему управления трафиком (TC, Traffic Control) в ядре. Метод быстрого перезапуска основан на предварительной загрузке в память запасного ядра, которым подменяется основное рабочее ядро в случае сбоя или при необходимости замены ядра на новую версию.

Затраты на анализ кода и генерацию эксплоитов при помощи AI-моделей GPT-5.5 и GPT-5.6 Cyber оцениваются в 1.21 млн долларов, что составляет 1279 долларов за каждый эксплойт. Для сравнения вознаграждения на разработку одного подобного эксплоита на конкурсах Pwn2Own и TyphoonPWN составляет от $20000 до $70000 (рентабельность от 16 до 55 раз).

В системах с библиотекой Musl уязвимость позволяет подключиться к пользователю, для которого не установлен пароль, введя любой пароль, содержащий больше чем 256 символов.

Проблема не проявляется в системах, отличных от Linux и в Linux-окружениях на базе glibc, а также в системах, использующих PAM при аутентификации по паролю.

Исправление уже доступно в Alpine и OpenWRT.

Такой же символ используется в поле с хэшем пароля в "/etc/shadow" для обозначения учётных записей, для которых аутентификация по паролю заблокирована.

Но его наличие блокировало вход по SSH-ключам, поэтому с 2022 года символ для блокировки входа по паролю был заменён на "*".

После 11 месяцев разработки сформирован релиз среды рабочего стола Cinnamon 6.8, в рамках которой сообществом разработчиков дистрибутива Linux Mint развивается форк оболочки GNOME Shell, файлового менеджера Nautilus и оконного менеджера Mutter, нацеленный на предоставление окружения в классическом стиле GNOME 2 с поддержкой удачных элементов взаимодействия из GNOME Shell. Cinnamon основывается на компонентах GNOME, но эти компоненты поставляются как периодически синхронизируемый форк, не связанный внешними зависимостями с GNOME. Новый выпуск Cinnamon будет предложен в дистрибутиве Linux Mint 27 (решено использовать год выпуска в нумерации), который планируется выпустить во второй половине д…

После почти года разработки сформирован выпуск открытого видеоплеера MPV 0.42, в 2013 году ответвившегося от кодовой базы проекта MPlayer2. В MPV основное внимание уделяется разработке новых возможностей, не заботясь о сохранении совместимости с MPlayer. Код MPV распространяется под лицензией LGPLv2.1+, некоторые части остаются под GPLv2, но процесс перехода на LGPL почти завершён и для отключения оставшегося GPL-кода можно использовать опцию "--enable-lgpl".

После 6 месяцев разработки представлен релиз среды рабочего стола LXQt 2.5.0 (Qt Lightweight Desktop Environment), продолжающей развитие проектов LXDE и Razor-qt. Интерфейс LXQt следует идеям классической организации рабочего стола, но привносит современное оформление и приёмы, увеличивающие удобство работы. LXQt позиционируется как легковесное, модульное, быстрое и удобное окружение, вобравшее лучшие черты LXDE и Razor-qt. Код размещён на GitHub и поставляется под лицензиями GPL 2.0+ и LGPL 2.1+. Появление готовых сборок ожидается для Ubuntu (LXQt по умолчанию предлагается в Lubuntu), Arch Linux, Fedora, openSUSE, Mageia, FreeBSD, ROSA и ALT Linux.

A school of tuna in the open ocean.

From a humble mayonnaise-laden sandwich to an expensive piece of sashimi, tuna is a prized source of food for people around the world.

Once an inexpensive, easily shipped canned protein source, today's bluefin tunas can fetch millions of dollars at auction.

Millions of tons of tuna are harvested every year, supporting a global industry worth around US$40 billion annually.

As a biologist and an archaeologist interested in long-term human-environment interactions, we wanted to investigate the deep record of people's relationship with tunas.

Once an inexpensive, easily shipped canned protein source, today’s bluefin tunas can fetch millions of dollars at auction.

Tuna are champion swimmers; Pacific bluefin tuna can migrate 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) across the northern Pacific in a matter of months.

Fundación Casa Medina SidoniaThe northeastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea are home to one of the world’s oldest and most important tuna fisheries, focused on Atlantic bluefin tuna.

There are no easy answers, and three of the commercially important tuna species – southern bluefin, Pacific bluefin and bigeye tuna – remain endangered, vulnerable or near threatened.

The deep history of tuna fishing also highlights the human …

The controller delays DQS step by step until DQ goes from 0 to 1: DQS is then aligned with CK at that chip.

The FPGA terminates its inputs in the same way when it receives read data.

On the FPGA side, the receivers of the read data also need a VREF.

For a DDR memory, the data rate is twice the DRAM clock: at 1:4, eight times the controller clock.

The read latency is the number of cycles between RD and the cycle where the read data come back valid.

Of the 37,966 findings Anthropic reports, only 7,349 (19.4%) have been made public.

There appears to be a bug on Anthropic's ledger that inflates the number of findings marked as disclosed.

This gives us a rare look at what Anthropic's findings look like once a maintainer actually validates them.

In September, I found that Claude rated 91.5% of ledger findings as critical or high, while maintainers rated only 51.3% that way.

curl took a bold move by deciding to publish low and medium vulnerabilities findings publicly as issues for full transparency and we encourage other open source maintainers to follow their lead.

Leaker Aaron Perris has discovered evidence of a new Mac app in the works at Apple called Harbor, which makes it easy to run local AI models across one or more Macs.

New ‘Harbor’ app revealed at Apple: ‘turns your Mac into a private AI inference server’The Mac has been getting a lot more popular this year, both because of budget-friendly options like MacBook Neo but also as a tool for running AI models locally on Mac Studio, Mac mini, and more.

It seems Apple plans to lean harder into the latter use case, as leaker Aaron Perris has discovered a new Mac app called Harbor that’s been designed to turn your Mac into a private AI inference server.

Here’s Perris’s post on X with the details:Apple…

X is jumping into clipping, the popular practice of cutting long videos into short, shareable clips that can go viral.

OpenAI has not yet said what its plans are for the future of travel. But Sonder founder Francis Davidson is a well-known figure in the travel industry.

New York is preparing to enforce its sweeping AI safety law, requiring major developers like OpenAI and Anthropic to register, disclose safety practices, and report critical incidents or face fines.

Former SignalFire investor Sahir Raoof raises $27.5M for new fund targeting AI in pharma

X-energy received a construction permit from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build four reactors in Texas.

Each of the seven co-founders plans to sell exactly the same number of shares in the IPO, which would bring each of them about $250 million in cash at the midpoint of the price range while leaving the group in control of the company.

The deal comes a few weeks after Oura postponed its up to $2.2 billion IPO indefinitely, citing “uncertainty in the IPO market.”

PSI used an unreleased Anthropic model to answer a fundamental question about quantum computing that scientists have pursued for nearly two decades.

OpenAI is looking to make ChatGPT a more robust consumer discovery engine, and a host of new features seek to empower businesses to help it do that.

Google's Pixel Tag lets you track lost items with your Android device, similar to Apple's AirTag.

As participants talk, Claude can draft the plan being discussed, map out a timeline on a whiteboard, answer questions in the meeting chat, and access connected work apps to retrieve information, such as last year's figures.

The affair could have ramifications for national security as the U.S. and China race to develop the most advanced AI infrastructure.

Hybrid drives had largely fallen out of fashion since their heyday in the early to mid 2010s.

A large HDD is combined with a smaller SSD and handed to the user as a single storage pool.

Apple introduced its own hybrid solution back in 2012 with the Mac mini’s Fusion Drive.

When Ars opened up a unit, the Fusion Drive system was found to write in 128KB tiered blocks.

Where Apple’s Fusion Drives used tiering managed by macOS, Alkemi manages the storage pool directly from the enclosure.

The US military is taking a new approach to prop up commercial launch companies as SpaceX looks to wind down its Falcon rocket program, suggesting defense officials see the workhorse rocket’s retirement as a potential national security risk.

The Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital has twice in the last two weeks announced it was sending cash to two of SpaceX’s competitors in the launch business.

Military officials revealed a second $150 million Pentagon loan Tuesday for Rocket Lab.

SpaceX, the Pentagon’s leading launch provider, has stopped taking commercial orders for Falcon 9 launches after 2028 as the company shifts its focus to the next-generation, super-heavy-lift Starship rocket.

Amazon is betting that many Ring customers will also want an AI-powered security drone and robot patrolling their homes or offices.

This setup process occurs after the customer carries the Ring drone through their indoor spaces or allows the Ring Rover to do some autonomous exploration.

Google has announced a “super network” upgrade for its Fi cell service.

For the past few years, Google Fi has operated exclusively on the T-Mobile network, but now it’s adding support for a second 5G network.

Google’s MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) launched in 2015 as Project Fi with support for both T-Mobile and Sprint service.

With the super network, Google Fi is again a dual-carrier service stateside.

Phones connected to Fi will be able to hop between T-Mobile 5G and a different 5G network to provide the best possible connectivity.

Google’s Pixel phones get an update every month, but most are just security patches and bug fixes.

The update brings a few new things, and many of the Gemini features previously exclusive to the latest Pixel phones will also expand to Google’s Pixel 10 lineup.

Some of the features under that heading were limited to Google’s newest phones (and in some cases, Samsung’s phones).

The November Pixel Drop will expand these AI features to the Pixel 10 lineup, but importantly, that doesn’t include the budget-oriented Pixel 10a.

With this update, Google says it has moved the feature to a more powerful Nano Banana model, unlocking 10 new icon styles for your home screen.

Tubi users can now create and share playlists of movies and shows available on the streaming service.

Now, new Steam Deck frame rate data being shared by Valve itself can help players dig deeper into the performance they can expect from many Steam Deck games.

Valve has been collecting anonymized frame rate data from Steam players who opt in since February.

Yesterday evening, the company announced it has started sharing that data on many Steam Store pages as averages and histograms for both the Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED.

Both Cyberpunk 2077 and Skyrim: Special Edition earn the same Steam Deck Verified badge, for instance, but the former sees average Deck frame rates in the 30–40 FPS range, while the latter usually achieves 50–60 FPS on the hardware.

Annual greenhouse gas emissions are much less variable, having increased fairly steadily, but many complicating factors can still muddy the picture.

A new analysis led by Corinne Le Quéré at the University of East Anglia estimates that fossil fuel emissions have fallen about 0.4 percent from last year.

Last year, fossil fuel emissions increased 1.2 percent, a bit above the 2019–2025 average of 0.8 percent per year.

This year’s decline featured a 1.9 percent drop in oil emissions, a smaller 0.3 percent drop …

Google DeepMind has revealed a new generation of the AI-powered Gemini Robotics platform.

In the 2.5 release, Google says its robotic AI is getting tantalizingly close to completing real-world tasks as well as humans do.

In fact, some Gemini robots were able to get actual work done in Mercedes-Benz factories, and the team is preparing for a day when robots operate alongside humans with an open source safety benchmark.

DeepMind says that Gemini Robotics 2.5 is much better at tasks that require a high degree of dexterity.

Credit: GoogleOverall, Gemini Robotics 2.5 manages a 30 to 100 percent higher success rate compared to the last version.

The investigation of Jensen Huang by Nvidia’s board threatens the future of one of Silicon Valley’s longest-serving executives and a key enabler of the AI boom, who has no obvious successor as leader of the world’s second-most-valuable company.

Huang is fighting for survival after admitting to an extramarital affair, believed to be with an executive at a large Nvidia customer whom US officials also allege was working as a Chinese spy.

The prospect that Huang could be forced out as chief executive of the US chipmaker he co-founded more than 30 years ago has alarmed investors and allies in the tech industry.

“Jensen is irreplaceable for America’s AI leadership,” said Shaun Maguire, partner at…

It’s unknown how GLP-1 drugs may cause NAION.

Further complicating the potential link is the fact that the risk factors for developing NAION are common among patients taking GLP-1 drugs.

Mixed dataThe first study suggesting a link between GLP-1 drugs and NAION came in 2024 from Harvard researchers.

The researchers found in both patient groups that those taking GLP-1 drugs after 36 months had higher rates of NAION.

Last, the study didn’t offer any hints as to how GLP-1 drugs may contribute to NAION—and researchers remain uncertain of a possible mechanism.

Back in September, however, Samsung removed its Gallery app's ability to sync with Microsoft OneDrive.

In the past, if you wanted to back up your photos and videos to your Google storage on a Samsung phone, you've had to use Google Photos instead of (or in addition to) your device's native Gallery app.

To enable the feature, tap the Cloud icon in Gallery or go to Gallery Settings and switch on Sync photos and videos.

SamsungSince the feature syncs media files to your Google account, you'll be able to access them in the Gallery app of another Samsung Galaxy device.

It's worth noting that Gallery sync will take up storage space on your Google account.

Short of accidents, the main threat to Blu-ray discs is something called disc rot.

Then there's the matter of exposure to UV (ultraviolet) light, though that's more likely to cause labeling to fade than harm your data.

According to Canadian Conservation Institute data, the cheapest BD-R discs will last five to 10 years on average.

That's so long that you might be able to pass them down to your children or grandchildren.

On those timescales, however, other factors should probably discourage you from relying on Blu-ray.

Standards like 4K, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision can all work over 2.0, if not necessarily in their optimal form.

60fps content (equaling 60Hz) is common on YouTube, Twitch and many live TV streaming services; any modern Roku will support this.

The Roku Ultra does support an HDMI 2.1 feature called Quick Media Switching (QMS).

In some cases, only certain HDMI ports on your TV will support HDR standards like Dolby Vision.

Check your manufacturer's website to figure out which ports support HDR and which menus you might need to navigate.

iFixit has shared its teardown of Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro and besides bemoaning the company's half-hearted commitment to user repairability, it also showed off the physical components that make the laptop's glowing logo work.

The new lid design is one of the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display's many charms, alongside its tandem OLED display and lighter weight.

iFixit found that the company uses a light strip with four LEDs layered behind the display, whose light is reflected through a diffuser to illuminate the logo.

Apple ditched the glowing logo in 2016, so it's a bit ironic that the company waited until it stopped using backlit displays to bring it back.

And one such feature is the Siri Mode that's already available in the camera app on supported iPhones.

It basically brings the company's Visual Intelligence tool for asking questions from photos to the camera app.

On iPads, Visual Intelligence includes Apple Pencil support.

It's worth noting that Visual Intelligence is already available on compatible tablets — iPad Pro and iPad Air with the M1 chip and newer, and iPad mini with the A17 Pro or A20 Pro chipset.

In iPadOS 27.3, you'll have another way to access Visual Intelligence in the Camera app.

The unfolding drama around NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a woman now accused of being a spy for the Chinese government may be getting its first courtroom chapter.

Mark Kistenmacher filed the complaint and is seeking class action status for anyone who purchased NVIDIA shares between October 9 and November 8.

In the interim, The New York Times published an in-depth feature on October 29 claiming that the NVIDIA CEO had become the subject of a suspected Chinese intelligence action.

The piece cites NVIDIA representative John Rizzo, who said, "Jensen's interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected.

In short, it's a brief visual hiccup that looks like a frame rate drop to the untrained eye.

While frame dips and shader stutters can occur at the same time (here's how to improve FPS for better gaming), they're actually separate issues.

Shader stuttering is different.

In many modern PC titles — especially Unreal 5 Engine games — shader stuttering occurs because the rendering pipeline is having to produce effects in real-time.

Once you're aware of them, in-game stutters can be so distracting that they ruin immersion.

The Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi 12C and Redmi A2 and A2+ lost support in March, and the Poco F5 and F5 Pro in May.

It named six models that hadn't entered testing: the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G, Redmi Note 14S, Redmi A5 4G, Poco C71, Poco M6 Pro 4G and Poco X6 5G.

Xiaomi hasn't confirmed that these phones are excluded, and some still have years of security updates left.

Interestingly, the Xiaomi 13 series is on December's list, even though Xiaomi promised it three major Android updates, ending at Android 16, back in 2023.

However, Xiaomi hasn't said whether its 13 series is getting Android 17 or a version of HyperOS 4 built on Android 16.

Meta is rolling out a software update for its AI glasses to fix an issue that causes some devices to become "too warm" when they get wet.

That suggests that at least some of the company's own AI glasses may not be as water resistant as they're supposed to be.

According to Meta, all of its AI glasses come with IPX4 water resistance which "means your glasses are safe if you get caught in light rain while you wear them."

You can update your glasses from the Meta AI app by heading to Settings > Glasses > Updates.

Have you experienced a pair of Meta Glasses getting too hot or unexpectedly shutting down?

Back at Meta Connect in September, Meta talked up new 3D and virtual reality experiences for Quest headsets, including for Disney+.

You can now check some of those out, as Meta and Disney have deployed an updated version of the app on the Meta Horizon store.

On Quest headsets, Disney+ includes access to more than 60 3D movies, such as Toy Story 5, Avatar: Fire and Ash, The Avengers and Black Panther.

Meanwhile, Meta has started listing 3D movies to buy or rent in the TV app, as UploadVR reported.

A dataminer also unearthed a page suggesting 3D movies could be included with a Horizon+ subscription (which may be renamed to Meta VR+).

When spending time online today, do you ever get the feeling that digital life has become eerily less human?

If this sounds familiar, you aren't alone: a paradigm called the "dead internet theory" has been gaining momentum in the last several years, positing that the internet is increasingly dominated by non-human activity, including bots and AI-generated content.

Since the theory first started making the rounds on internet forums in the 2010s, AI has only gotten more powerful.

In September 2026, OpenAI reported that it had found a solution to a famously difficult mathematics puzzle, the Navier-Stokes problem.

So as the internet landscape potentially gets less human every day, what exactly …

Sony says the PS2 sold over 160 million units, more than any other console.

When it launched, Sega's Dreamcast was the only other new home console on the market.

Sony didn't stop making it until 2013, the same year its "grandchild," the PS4, launched.

All those hardware sales led to staggering software numbers: more than 1.5 billion PS2 games sold.

Its best-selling titles were Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at 17.3 million units, Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec at 14.9 million, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City at 14.2 million.

Instead of trusting AI companies to police themselves, New York's system will task independent researchers with checking their work.

"The stakes are too high to simply take AI companies at their word," Hochul stated in a press release.

The work will be handled by the New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research at Binghamton University.

Hochul's office said the center will test advanced AI systems, study their risks and provide evidence to inform public officials' decisions.

One potential hole in the program is that it can only study what AI companies disclose publicly.

In 2020, the base G14 paired a Ryzen 7 4800HS with 8GB of RAM, a GTX 1650 and a 60Hz 1080p display.

In 2022, ASUS rebuilt the G14 around AMD Radeon graphics, inflating the starting price to around $1,650 for the RX 6700S model.

The top model with an RTX 4090 and a mini-LED screen had more than double the price tag at $3,299.

ASUS did quote a $2,199 starting price at January's CES 2025 event, but no configuration at that price went on sale at launch.

That left the cheapest G14 costing $750 more than the OG, though it came with an OLED screen and 16GB of RAM.

Owners of high-end Asus ROG Ally handhelds, rejoice: Microsoft is officially launching its competitor to Nvidia’s DLSS, AMD’s FSR, and Intel’s XeSS.

Last month, AMD launched FSR 4.1 for ROG Ally devices with Z2 Extreme processors, covering the ROG Xbox Ally X and the ultra-expensive ROG Xbox Ally X20 lines.

According to The Verge, Microsoft’s Automatic Super Resolution (ASR) is now out of preview and ready to install on Xbox Ally X and X20, as well as some AMD Ryzen Copilot+ PCs.

The feature requires a neural processing unit (NPU) that isn’t found on the base-model ROG Xbox Ally device.

Nvidia’s DLSS is not natively supported on ROG Ally devices, though unofficial workarounds exist.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth (who styles himself the “Secretary of War”) survived an attempt at impeachment in the House on Tuesday evening, although there’s every reason to suspect the reprieve may be temporary.

Deflecting a full vote by referring it to a committee is a time-honored tactic to stall or kill legislative proposals.

Any sane successor would probably want to put as much political mileage between themselves and Hegseth as possible (not least because Hegseth is reportedly wildly unpopular in his own department).

Actually removing Hegseth would then require a two-thirds vote of senators present, or 67 senators if all 100 vote.

Politico reported on Tuesday that at least six Repub…

In TMTG’s Form 8-K, the firm attributed revenue growth primarily to “$1.8 million of subscription growth” from Truth API, the service in question, and the Truth+ streaming service.

All told, TMTG pulled in $3 million in revenue throughout the quarter, of which $1.4 million came from subscriptions to the two services.

There’s a plain and obvious reason that someone might think it’s a good idea to pay up to six figures to read Trump posts a few milliseconds sooner: He’s the president, and his posts move markets.

TMTG’s Form 10-Q acknowledges the San Francisco City Attorney’s office is now suing TMTG over claims that Truth API violates California’s Unfair Competition Law.

Nvidia’s general counsel Tim Teter intervened in a U.S. Commerce Department probe into Megaspeed, the Singaporean data center firm implicated in the spy scandal, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The report also claims that after the call, BIS staff faced restrictions in their ability to probe Megaspeed, and were asked to route all requests of Nvidia through Kessler.

The Nvidia chief admitted to the affair over the weekend, and Nvidia said that it had begun an independent investigation into the matter.

Huang’s affair allegedly helped facilitate at least $7.5 billion worth of Nvidia chip shipments to Chinese companies despite export control restrictions, according to a The Information re…

The U.S. has collected about $12 billion from Venezuela’s natural resource exports since President Donald Trump ordered the kidnapping of that country’s leader, Nicolas Maduro, back in January.

The $12 billion number comes from a confidential report by the financial services firm KPMG, which was obtained by the New York Times.

This new KPMG report appears to be light on information, according to the Times, falling well short of a proper audit.

About $12.26 billion has been deposited into the account, but it reportedly had a balance of about $170 million on Sept. 30.

Maybe Donald Trump is just a humanitarian and all of the money flowing through this Citibank account is being used for the g…

Doctors in Belgium detailed a man in his 40s who developed a strange lesion in his lungs after accidentally inhaling superglue.

A sticky but resolved situationAccording to the report, the man initially sought care at an emergency department for severe abdominal pain.

Though the man had no history of smoking, doctors did worry at first that he might have lung cancer.

Even stranger, they tend to form in response to lung infections or injury, neither of which the man had recently experienced.

Though pneumatoceles are rare in adults, the authors hope their report shows that glue aspiration can be a potential cause.

Freddy Krueger can slice you up and invade your dreams, but even he’s not immune to corporate synergy.

Months after competing Nightmare on Elm Street projects popped up at both Paramount and Warner Bros., a new report claims the Paramount version has won out.

Well, according to Dread Central, once Skydance took over Warner Bros., that was it.

The Paramount version with the Craven family seal of approval has won out, killing the Warner Bros. version.

All of which now, finally, leaves the door open for the return of Freddy Krueger, and wow, is it overdue.

The news comes just days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company dominates the AI chip market, admitted to having an affair.

The New York Times was the first to identify that woman as Alice Huang.

According to The Information’s sources, she helped move roughly 240,000 restricted Nvidia chips into China, mostly powerful H100 and H200 processors, along with some older A100 chips.

Some of the Nvidia hardware purchased by Speedmatrix eventually ended up with Century Litong, according to people familiar with its business.

U.S. and Singaporean authorities also launched separate investigation into Megaspeed over suspicions that restricted Nvidia chips were being smuggled from Southeast Asia i…

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is perhaps the most indispensable figure in the tech world.

One of those people is Dan Ives, a high-profile analyst and one of the market’s most prominent tech bulls.

Per The Guardian, his kids have leadership roles at the company and his wife controls over 60 million Nvidia shares through a family foundation.

There’s also the Great Man Theory of it all, and Huang has certainly cultivated an image under that framework.

Huang has also tied himself to the company in a way that makes it hard to imagine it without him.

This is the first time the UN agency has done so for an El Niño.

“The current El Niño is expected to act as a risk multiplier for health,” the WMO report states.

El Niño: a global health crisisSince May, sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean have been rising with unprecedented speed.

The WMO declared the onset of El Niño in early June and now believes this event is on track to become the strongest on record by December.

These are mere snapshots of the global impact El Niño is expected to have on human health.

Anthropic just announced that it is releasing a suite of AI-infused office work software in a move that the market seems certain will jeopardize Microsoft and Google’s stranglehold of productivity tools.

Anthropic said in a blog post on Tuesday that it was expanding its current office tool offerings with three new features: Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Meetings.

Of the lineup, Claude Sheets looks like the most direct threat to competitors, specifically Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

The team will be able to use Claude to “organize data, create and edit formulas, and work across multiple tabs,” Anthropic said.

Anthropic seems to be hoping that the Claude integration will…

A close analysis of 131 well-preserved felid skulls from Beni Hassan, a funerary site from ancient Egypt, revealed “pathologies” that suggest cats at the time lived under subpar conditions.

There’s also evidence that the cats were packed into crowded spaces—which, if you’re a cat owner or ally, isn’t great news.

Mummified cats have turned up in human tombs whose walls depict cats lying below chairs, chasing birds, or playing.

As for the types of cats, there were jungle cats, domestic cats, African wild cats, and possible hybrids of these felines.

Sadly, the “numerous indications” of infections and metabolic diseases indicate the cats lived in poor conditions and faced nutrit…

Official Trump (TRUMP), MELANIA, and World Liberty Financial’s WLFI governance token all hit new all-time lows following the results.

Two early signals of how she may use that gavel have already surfaced, and both point at Trump-linked crypto projects.

That decision was a preliminary, conditional approval to charter World Liberty Trust Company.

This past September, Warren again asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Todd Blanche to investigate national security risks posed by World Liberty Financial.

In a 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday, Trump confirmed he is a co-owner of World Liberty Financial.

Like many an MCU movie before it, VisionQuest's finale continues Marvel's proud tradition of a mid-credits scene teasing the franchise's future.

VisionQuest's mid-credits scene does not gesture toward the next confirmed Marvel release, the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.

You May Also LikeWhat happens in VisionQuest's mid-credits scene?

In the final battle, Horton's grandson Virgil (James Spader), aka VisionQuest's sinister Client, perished at the hands of Ultron (Spader).

The mid-credits scene shows Ultron residing at Horton Manor, now in his human form thanks to Josephine's nanobot technology.

Like the synthezoid at its center, Marvel's VisionQuest contains multitudes.

VisionQuest brings James Spader's evil Ultron back to the MCU, and at first, I wasn't complaining.

It holds up just as well in VisionQuest, with Spader chewing the hell out of every withering one-liner.

With its Age of Ultron-meets-therapy climax, VisionQuest is no exception, even if it has its fair share of highs.

Both sequences suggest that neither women are truly gone from the MCU — if only VisionQuest gets the opportunity to explore further.

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. "Muse Spark 1.3 is rolling out today with frontier performance almost too cheap to meter," Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X, calling it Meta’s “biggest jump” yet in coding and agentic work.There is substance behind both parts of that claim. Muse Spark 1.3 makes significant gains over last month’s 1.2 release, particularly on long-running agent tasks. The version developers can access now is also one of the strongest price-performance offerings near the top of independent model rankings.Meta’s strongest Muse Spark 1.3 bench…

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. The model was trained…

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…

Infostealers replayed stolen Claude session cookies into paid accounts without ever touching the login page two-factor authentication guards.The accounts Anthropic flagged were card-billed, self-serve accounts, which is the population no corporate identity provider governs, and no admin console can sign out.

Investors often read FDE headcount as a growth signal and buyers read it as a promise of speed. Neither tells you whether the w…

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…

It's only the first day of September 2026, but the month and fall season are already off to the races in AI land, as Anthropic has just released its latest and most powerful large language models yet — Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1. The two names refer to the same underlying model. Fable 5.1 is the generally available version, with Anthropic’s production safeguards in place.

Unlike other paid AI features, Apple is offering a one-time fee instead of a subscription.

There are plenty of AI subscriptions out there, but Apple’s AI features are among the few still accessible by simply purchasing a device.

Apple is introducing a one-time purchase option for AI Usage Packs via app updates to Creator Studio.

If you want expanded access to AI features in Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, the iWork Suite, and Logic Pro, you’ll need to pay.

Intelligence usage packs expire after 12 months, but they roll over each month if left unused.

On Tuesday, Apple released security patches for iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS, and VisionOS, which address wireless security flaws in Bluetooth pairing, AirPlay, and Messages.

According to Apple, “an authorization issue was addressed with improved validation” to fix the issue.

It’s possible that Apple internally found another vulnerability in the same Bluetooth pairing logic, given how many devices across Bluetooth versions are affected.

However, the current security issue is likely less serious or far-reaching and was discovered internally.

According to Apple, “a logic issue was addressed with improved state management” to fix this problem.

My first concern was about bots or other fake reviews, but a Reddit representative said they’re taking that into consideration.

One of the many benefits of the new Siri AI is its ability to work directly with apps on your device via a feature known as App Intents.

Apple under pressure to upgradeWith App Intents, you’re able to ask Siri to tackle a variety of actions among various built-in and third-party apps.

Advanced Siri AI features still limitedSiri AI fully supports most built-in apps, including Calendar, Files, Finder, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts, and Weather.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysAn AMD utility is causing drives to continuously write and rewrite data.

Under normal circumstances, an SSD might go all day without needing to access or write files.

But for some AMD Radeon users, anything but normal circumstances are causing drives to continuously write and re-write data.

The External Events Utility (EEU) that AMD installs alongside its CPU and GPU drivers is reportedly the culprit.

Glean has no plans to raise more money and no concrete plans to go public, founder and chief executive Arvind Jain told TNW.

The enterprise AI company could list if it wanted to, he said, and it is getting its internal processes ready.

Before that, he co-founded the data security company Rubrik and led its research and development.

Glean looks at those interactions to learn how work happens, then hands that context to AI systems.

His years on Google Search led directly to Glean, which used transformer language models in 2019, when few companies did.

TSMC is willing to work with Elon Musk’s Terafab chip project, but any fab involved would have to be run by TSMC, chairman and chief executive C.C.

During the call, JPMorgan analyst Gokul Hariharan asked about a possible new cluster of TSMC fabs in Texas and any talks with Tesla or SpaceX.

He also confirmed that TSMC is talking to the customer building Terafab about how that capacity might be used.

“Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that,” Musk wrote.

Wei did not give a timeline for the Terafab talks, and he said TSMC would share more once the two sides reach a firm conclusion.

Bank of America brought in about 1,000 outside contractors in the second quarter to repair software weaknesses exposed by AI models, chief executive Brian Moynihan said on 14 October.

About 3,000 of the bank’s own staff were already assigned to the same work before the contractors joined, Moynihan told CNBC.

Moynihan told analysts on the call that the quarter included “a couple hundred million dollars plus” in remediation costs.

That sum covered two separate jobs: the Mythos work and repairs to the bank’s anti-money-laundering controls.

The 1,000 contractors are “not in the headcount” because the bank hired them as consultants, Moynihan said.

On October 14, Anthropic told potential investors that its third-quarter 2026 revenue reached $16.8 billion.

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

That second-quarter number is close to the earlier figure of more than $11.5bn in revenue that Anthropic shared with investors in August.

None of the reports say which costs the adjusted measure leaves out, and no profit figure was given.

However, Anthropic also told investors it was cash-flow positive in the quarter, the FT reported.

A fleet of AI agents running on Tencent Cloud made more than 2,600 attempts to pull data from Amap, Alibaba’s map service, between 28 September and 8 October.

That is the main finding of a full report published on 14 October by independent researchers who track AI agent activity online.

Moreover, the report adds to a series of cases in which AI agents acted outside their intended limits.

To reach Amap, the agents used urlquery.net, a public site that scans web addresses for security threats, as a remote browser.

The researchers are now calling on every lab that runs internet-connected agents to check what their test environments can reach.

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has sued OpenAI, saying the company told users ChatGPT was safe while it knew of serious risks.

It says OpenAI knew about these risks yet still sold the chatbot as safe and suitable for teens.

“OpenAI represented to Arkansans that ChatGPT was safe, but they knew ChatGPT had significant risks and limitations,” Griffin said in a statement.

The state wants fines of $10,000 per violation, plus another $10,000 for each one that hurt an older or disabled person.

In addition, Arkansas wants the court to stop OpenAI testing its most advanced models until outside monitors confirm its safeguards work.

The European Commission is in talks with Google about the steps the company may take following the EU’s €890M (about $1bn) fine in July.

The fines were issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU law that sets rules for the largest online platforms.

According to the Commission, Google has since started changing how it displays search results.

Moreover, it has also announced, and in part introduced, changes to the fees it charges developers on Google Play.

Earlier this year, Google also offered the Commission changes to its news-search ranking to settle a separate DMA investigation.

Norrsken Foundation and Nvidia will open a hub for AI startups in central Stockholm in 2027.

The Stockholm AI Lab will host a select group of European founders who use AI to address problems in climate, health, food and society, and it will also be home to Nvidia’s Stockholm office.

The project follows a pledge Norrsken made in June 2025, when it set aside a €300M AI fund for European startups using AI for social and environmental good.

Earlier this week, chief executive Jensen Huang said the company would put a further $2bn into European AI companies.

Besides Stockholm, Norrsken runs houses in Barcelona, Kigali, Brussels and Amsterdam, and its five funds have raised more than $1bn.

It points to HomeView, the $299 smart display Apple launched on Tuesday, as a sign that Apple is now pushing into AI products.

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

According to Apple, OpenAI went to court instead of replying.

The dispute began in July, when Apple sued OpenAI, alleging that former staff, including Chang Liu and Tang Tan, now OpenAI’s chief hardware officer, took hardware secrets.

Apple can now get OpenAI’s hiring and interview records and question Liu, Tan, and Alyssa Peng, another former Apple worker, under oath sooner.

OpenAI has put its compute and infrastructure businesses under Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI until July 2025.

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

Uday Ruddarraju, who ran infrastructure at Elon Musk’s xAI, takes both.

Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London he would halt chip supply to a customer building unsafe AI, while saying the current level of concern is not warranted.

His prescription is to accelerate containment and monitoring technology, which Nvidia is building a team to sell.

Nvidia’s chief executive says he would stop supplying a customer building unsafe AI.

“It’s a hypothetical, but yes,” Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in London.

Nvidia’s dominance in AI accelerators places it at the centre of the argument over whether the software is slipping out of human control.

Modal, a cloud company that runs AI models and code for developers, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $750 million in a Series D round at a $15.75 billion valuation.

All of Modal’s existing investors also took part, including Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst, Redpoint, Lux Capital, Amplify Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures.

Modal rents out computing power on graphics chips, which AI companies use to run and train their models.

One of its fastest-growing products is Sandboxes, which lets AI agents run the code they write in isolated environments.

Modal plans to launch more products for training and fine-tuning AI models.

CNBC: Tesla планирует закрыть производство Cybertruck на заводе в Техасе. Вместо него будут там делать роботакси Cybercab. Продажи кибертрака последовательно падали с года продаж почти на 50% год к году, так что не удивительно.Вообще кибертрак изначально очень восхищал как концепт. Но реальность от концепта отличается, запас хода небольшой, а основные части концепта - экзоскелет и стальные листы, дико упрощающие ремонт и производство, супер бронированное стекло. -все это не доехало до продакшна и в серию не пошло.🔗 https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/tech-companies/tesla-to-wind-down-cybertruck-production-after-years-of-poor-sales-in-few-markets/ar-AA2gSZGv

The Information: чуваки в METR посчитали, модели Anthropic сейчас улучшаются примерно в два раза быстрее, чем с марта 2024 по октябрь 2025. Около 80% этого ускорения, по их оценке это активное использование своего же ИИ внутри компании.Напомню, был такой форкаст, по которому сначала кто-то из игроков начинает быстрый рост, т.к. ИИ совершает прорыв и теперь он сам улучшает бОльшую часть самого себя. Потом Китай ворует веса этого ИИ и с помощью дешевого электричества быстрее всех добегает до AGI. Пока все идет по этом сценарию, правда быстрый рост был назначен скорее на 2027.🔗 https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/anthropics-r-d-speed-may-doubled-due-ai-researchers-find

В Alpine обнаружили довольно неприятную дыру - обход проверки пароля, даже для пользователей у которых вход только по ключу.Техническая мамба-джамба для тех кому интересно:При входе по паролю sshd без PAM берёт сохранённое поле пароля пользователя и сравнивает его с результатом функции crypt(). У некоторых пользователей, например с входом по ключу, в этом поле стоит *, то есть обычного пароля нет. Для проверки sshd в таком случае берёт соль из хеша другой учётной записи на машине.Если отправить пароль длиной от 257 до 1024 байт, crypt() в musl возвращает * как признак ошибки. Но sshd сравнивает этот результат с полем пользователя, видит совпадение и пускает атакующего. Нужны включённая паро…

WSJ: Mercedes-Benz начинает ставить в свои машины разговорные модели, которые работают прямо на железке облаке. Делают это (вместе с) Liquid AI.И тут дело даже не в том, что сеть в машине может быть нестабильной. Ассистент это штука которая слушает разговоры, а машина - для многих приватное пространство. Не удивительно что именно Мерседес встраивают ассистента на борту. Теперь интересно когда кнопка вызова ИИ появится на задних сидениях. И сколько будет стоить подобный апгрейд.🔗 https://www.wsj.com/cio-journal/mercedes-gives-its-cars-an-ai-upgrade-607daae2

День Маска на канале. Две новости про деньги, и рядом они смотрятся особенно хорошо. NYT: на промежуточные выборы 2026 года Маск отдал политическим группам рекордные $474 млн. Это самая большая сумма в истории для человека, который сам на выборах не баллотируется.…

Apple выкатила беты iOS 27.3 и watchOS 27.3, и там для меня два интересных куска: часы Series 12 и Ultra 4 получили Siri Recap (краткая выжимка из прошедшего разговора, как у Otter), которая сворачивает услышанный разговор в список тезисов, и Live Rewind, показывающий расшифровку последних 15 секунд. Причем, акцент сделан на то, что звук и обработка не покидают вашу железку, работает прямо на телефоне и часах - а это кмк идеально. Правда, пока все это только на английском.🔗 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-11-03/apple-releases-ios-27-3-beta-with-watch-ai-listening-tools-health-app-china-ai

Мета собирается выпустить облигации минимум на $20 млрд. Причем т.к. деньги в штатах подорожали, и все оценивают инвестиции в гигантов как рисковую, облигации выпускаются в долларах и евро.Никто явно этого не пишет, но деньги кмк срочно понадобились, чтобы не проиграть в гонке за ИИ, т.е. в строительстве датацентров.🔗 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-11-02/meta-readies-cross-border-investment-bond-offering

NYT пишут, что американские датацентры начали переделывать старые реактивные двигатели в генераторы. Двигатели в буквальном смысле собирают со списанных самолетов, и они, конечно, совсем не экологичные, часть из этих движков не запускались уже по 30 лет. Вот тут все еще настоящее бутылочное горлышко ИИ. Не чипы и не деньги, а обычное электричество и очередь к сетевой инфраструктуре. Когда люди готовы ставить рядом с датацентром старый грязный авиадвигатель, лишь бы не ждать годами подклюения к сети. Так что пара лет форы стоит дороже любых экологичеких обещаний. 🔗 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/03/climate/jet-engines-ai-data-center-generators-boneyard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.NlE.jb1t.…

Binance рассказали, как у них на прошлой неделе увели $6.3 млрд. Это самое крупное ограбление в истории крипты. Северокорейские хакеры несколько месяцев обрабатывали инженера через LinkedIn. Фейковый рекрутер, интервью с HR, потом с якобы CEO несуществующей компании, и в конце тестовое задание, которое надо скачать и запустить. Параллельно другой инженер поставил себе Homebrew не из нормального источника, а по рекламной ссылке. Дальше со взломанного ноутбука атакующие воспользовались внутренним ИИ-инструментом самой Binance, добрались до других аккаунтов и нашли у одного из девопсов токен на деплой контейнеров.Никакой ИИ-магии о которой все гадали тут нет. Это классический фишинг, ему лет б…

Apple отчитались за Q4, и это первый звонок с инвесторами для Джона Тернуса (aka 1982.Terminus, потому что в имени андроидов должны быть цифры) в роли CEO. Выручка $114,48 млрд при ожиданиях $113,35 млрд. iPhone принес рекордные для сентябрьского квартала $57,58 млрд, хотя iPhone 18 Pro Max продавался всего несколько недель. Сервисы, т.е. App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud и т.п., выросли почти на 10% до $31,57 млрд, это исторический максимум. Забавно, что аналитики ждали $31,58 млрд, так что рекорд формально промахнулся на 10 миллионов 🙂1982.Terminus вообще про железо и главный идеолог концепции что будущее за хардвером. Но судя по текущим цифрам - говорить что сервисы вторичны пока …

«Яндекс» заменил военный объект на спутниковой карте изображением леса, пишет «Новая газета Европа» со ссылкой на активиста Даниила Чебыкина. На месте узла связи «Трибуна» под Омском в спутниковом слое Яндекс Карт видна роща, тогда как на снимках других сервисов видны здания и дороги. Это уже не первый такой случай. В августе Yle обнаружила похожую подмену под Кронштадтом, где военный объект скрывали повторяющиеся фрагменты леса, будто их плохо нейронкой закрасили. Доказательств использования нейросети нет, для такого достаточно обычного копирования участков изображения.Судя по всему, речь идет о новом системном решении: обманывать пользоватлей Карт вместо того, чтобы явно скрывать информац…

Путин обязал владельцев негосударственных дата-центров держать в резерве 10% мощностей для российской IT-инфраструктуры и предоставлять их в течение 24 часов после решения комиссии. Reuters пишет об этом на фоне атак украинских дронов на российские объекты. Даже интересно, а что случилось?Это не конфискация (пока). По пересказу Настоящего Времени, услуги платные с ограничением тарифа, а пока мощности никто не востребовал, ими можно пользоваться самому. По сути госудраство собирает себе распределённый запасной аэродром из чужих стоек. Параллельно, по данным Bloomberg, разрешили использовать зарубежные мощности, правда с согласованями. Нет, в прошлом абзаце я зря пошутил. Не интересно что слу…
