Криптобиржа компенсировала больше 95% украденных активов.

В легковесных alpine‑образах этой дыры не было, а вот в сборках на базе debian в своё время поломали тысячи серверов.

И главное: при перезапуске контейнеров или самого демона Docker не трогает и не затирает то, что вы написали внутри DOCKER-USER .

А это значит, что весь входящий трафик к нему идёт не в транзитный FORWARD , а в стандартный INPUT — то есть попадает напрямую под действие обычных правил UFW.

Что поменялось в Docker 29+ с приходом нативного nftablesДолгое время Docker даже на свежих дистрибутивах управлял сетью через легаси‑прослойку iptables-nft .

До таблиц PREROUTING и DOCKER внутри гостевой ОС этот трафик физически не долетает, что бы там демон Докера ни накрутил в iptables .

Мелкие ежемесячные пожертвования, по словам самого фонда, и в 2023, и в 2024 году медленно падали.

Разница не в качестве языков: Mojo продают как инфраструктуру для ai‑железа, а не как язык для людей.

Это как попросить переводчика, выучившего английский по миллиону книг, перевести на язык, по которому он видел одну брошюру.

Если новый язык и взлетит, то по одному из двух сценариев: язык под конкретное железо или язык платформы, под который её владелец сам дообучит модель.

Весь WordPress написан на PHP, а на нём всё ещё около 40% всех сайтов.

Когда мы ставим рядом советский сушуар и современный маленький фен, мы сравниваем не только разные эпохи, но и разные инструменты.

Дело было вовсе не в том, что в министерстве ещё не слышали про рукоятку и сопло.

Причём расположен двигатель не в широкой голове прибора, как у большинства привычных фенов, а в рукоятке.

Это не делает воздух холодным и не отменяет опасности пересушивания волос, зато позволяет уменьшить температурные колебания при изменении условий работы.

И именно в этих 30 годах разницы поколений, а не в форме пластмассового чемоданчика, вся история.

И это нормально.

Как и в прошлом году, нормальных ответов ни у кого нет, поэтому мы своей тг тусовочкой снова собрали конфу.

Если взглянуть на первые релизы фильмов на DVD, то мы увидим, что нередко в них было интерактивное меню, которое преподносилось как одно из главных достоинств.

DVD поддерживает и другие разрешения, но они уступают по качеству и в целом не являются удачной альтернативой, поэтому использовались редко.

В DVD Virtual Machine (DVD VM) есть шестнадцать регистров общих параметров (General Parameter Registers, GPRM).

Главное меню DVD «Шоу ужасов Рокки Хоррора»Следующий памятный пример — это DVD‑диск «Мир Уэйна».

Кстати, кому интересно — на сайте dvdmoviemenus.com есть много интересных меню DVD.

Протокол AmneziaWG на 80% состоит из обычного Wireguard, и на 20% состоит из своих дополнений, поэтому берем родной микротиковский Wireguard (который очень эффективно работает с криптографией на отдельном чипе), а остальное реализовываем програмно.

Так получился очень маленький и быстрый контейнер, обеспечивающий почти 300 мбит на устройствах типа Mikrotik Hap Ax3, и 200 мбит на Mikrotik Hap Ax2.

Сначала подумал, что так github душит всё что ему кажется подозрительным, отправил апелляцию, но она рассматривается очень долго.

Чтобы было легче добавлять будущих клиентов — в разделе mikrotik: container → envs сохраняется ссылка на конфигуратор с параметрами вашего конфига амнезии.

Раньше один админ, с которым так боялись пообщаться обычные пользователи, мог и картриджи в принтерах заменять, и серверные с железом обслуживать, и помогать разработке с нагрузочными тестами и деплоем, и много чего еще.

Возвращаться к работе руками мне не страшно, но я осознал, что не хочу этого.

Инженерия всегда была моим хобби и я его не брошу, но повседневную работу я больше не хочу выполнять по‑старому.

Я не питаю иллюзий и отлично понимаю, что качество таких поделок не всегда высокое и это еще мягко говоря.

Для сравнения, на один из самых дешёвых суперстратов под скромным названием KX100 Cort устанавливает правильные сёдла сразу на фабрике.

Стандартные комплектации обеих электрогитар предусматривают фирменные запирающиеся (локовые) колки Cort, однако у G250 Spectrum их валы одинаковой длины, тогда как у G280 Select они укорачиваются от шестой струны к первой.

У G250 Deluxe и Spectrum доступ к анкерной гайке осуществляется через колодец в основании пера грифа, как и у большинства традиционных электрогитар.

Разумеется, это сделано не на индонезийской фабрике Cort, а местным гитарным умельцем.

Обратите внимание, что Cort предусматривает специальный провод с петлеобразным наконечником, прижатым к …

Структура отечественных подземок отличается от западных, но и в нашей стране можно насчитать три станции, навсегда исчезнувшие со схем метро… а могло быть и больше.

И всё‑таки архитектор Н. И. Демчинский предусмотрел на «времянке» лепнину, раскрашенные под золото медальоны и тяжеловесные люстры, как на станции ВДНХ.

7 октября 2010 г. к очередным выборам открылась Золотая Нива — тринадцатая станция Новосибирского метрополитена.

Свободный денежный поток стал отрицательным — минус 9,1 млрд долларов: за квартал на ИИ‑инфраструктуру потратили около 50 млрд.

Акции упали на 12,6%, Alphabet потеряла почти 500 млрд долларов капитализации.

Аналитик Георг Штилер оценивает, что до 70% гуманоидов, выпущенных в Китае в 2026 году, отправятся в центры сбора данных, где роботы будут учиться.

Amazon подняла план капитальных расходов с 200 до 220 млрд долларов в основном из‑за подорожавшей памяти.

Эти люди имели прекрасное образование, могли преподавать в ведущих университетах Европы, и многие из них внесли весомый вклад и в научно‑технический прогресс в современном понимании.

Как и в античном и не только наследии, которое доставалось интеллектуалам Европы через посредство отвоёвывавшейся крестоносцами Испании на арабском и еврейских языках.

И в рамках всей этой работы и стали появляться специальные магические алфавиты.

ДРАКОН жив до сих пор, хотя и в нишевых профессиональных направлениях.

Похоже, многое зависит от вида задачи: изолированная задача в эксперименте и живой проект с историей и контекстом показывают разные результаты.

Дизайнер рисует интерфейс в Figma, геймдизайнер собирает уровень в Unreal Blueprints, и это обычное разделение труда.

Именно эта архитектурная особенность MoE моделей и позволила в конечном счете запускать большие модели на потребительском железе.

Прелесть этого подхода еще и в том, что ставшие уже стандартными оптимизации вроде MTP (Multi‑Token Prediction) и предсказания/подгрузки экспертов следующего слоя параллельно с обсчетом внимания текущего здесь тоже вовсю работают.

Я не буду подробно останавливаться на установке (в одну команду) и настройке (пошаговым мастером настройки стрелками и кнопкой ввода).

Нужную сессию выбирают по номеру или имени: «Импортируй первую сессию» или baton import 1 .

Утилита сохранит её в ~/.config/baton/saved/ и сразу загрузит в текущего агента, так что отдельный baton load не нужен.

Упаковщик вкомпилирован прямо в бинарник baton и работает на Linux, macOS и Windows без внешних архиваторов.

А зашифрованная переброска позволяет закрыть домашний ПК и продолжить ту же сессию на другом ПК без промежуточных коммитов.

Устройство контура и зависимостиБлагодаря проведенному аудиту и последующей работе на проекте мы знали состав критичного контура, основные зависимости и объемы данных.

Поэтому во время аварии мы не гадали, «взлетят» ли бэкапы.

Это время ушло и на ожидание решения заказчика (пока он определялся, стоит ли мигрировать, или лучше дождаться восстановления исходного ЦОДа), и на сами технические работы, и на ожидание ресурсов и перенос данных.

Обе модели отсылают к первой игре франшизы, которая также вышла в двух версиях: красный «стратокастер» Pokémon Red и зелёный «телекастер» Pokémon Green.

Пикгард немного пикселит, а под лаком гитара расписана покемонскими игровыми спрайтами.

В гитару встроен и биткрашер, делающий «восьмибитный» звук.

Но покруче, чем в старом Game Boy: Fender всё-таки!

Просто так с улицы коллекционки не купить: для этого нужно сначала победить в лотерее на официальном японском сайте Pokémon Center, а уже потом отвалить 396 тысяч иен — более 200 тысяч рублей.

Моноблок Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 27 Vitality Edition собрал в себе почти всё, что годами фанаты Apple ждали в iMac.

Кроме разве что пикселей размерoм с кулак.

Главное отличие от современных аймаков — 27-дюймовый экран с разрешением 2560 × 1440 пикселей с цветовым охватом 100 % sRGB, частотой обновления 120 Гц и яркостью до 350 нит.

Работает всё это на Intel Core 5 320, получило 16 ГБ оперативной памяти и SSD на 512 ГБ или 1 ТБ.

Apple, а можно то же самое и в три раза дороже, но на macOS и с нормальными чипом и экраном?

По сути, лаунчер запускает Arm-версию SteamOS в виртуальной машине, где Proton и FEX (эмулятор инструкций x86-64 на ARM64) запускают игры из вашей библиотеки.

А пользователь в это время видит привычный интерфейс, что выгодно отличает новинку от CrossOver, с которым не каждый захочет разбираться.

В «Ведьмаке 3» ETA Prime получил чуть более 70 кадров при высоких настройках и 1080р на М4 Мах.

Фреймрейт GTA 4 держится на отметке 120 fps, а олдовая классика Left4Dead 2 позволила выжать уже более 140 fps.

Однако за это время уже успели добиться стабильной работы Helldivers 2.

В следующем году MacBook Pro PROLED XDR получит чипы М7 Pro и M7 Max с расширенными ИИ-возможностями, — рассказал колумнист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

При этом MacBook Pro 14″ miniLED останется на чипе М7, хотя и получит более тонкие рамки, а также облегчённый дизайн.

В итоге Apple приходит к чёткому делению макбуков: MacBook Neo → MacBook Air → MacBook Pro → MacBook Pro с PROLED XDR.

Каждое устройство занимает определённую нишу, к чему компания шла удивительно долго.

Но от путаницы с неймингом MacBook Pro это всё равно не избавит.

Это даже не обзор, а просто моё мужское спасибо Константину Чайкину и команде за всякие интересные аксессуары в это непростое время.

Можно ещё вспомнить часы «Время России», но я тут ничего особо сказать не могу, ибо не разбираюсь и не застал.

Осенью 2026-го были представлены часы «Путник Спорт», мы про них поговорим подробней, но, как я понимаю, сейчас уже «Путник» — это «Путник», а Чайкин — это Чайкин.

Но не все фантазии людей безобидны, и не все компании хотят, чтобы вы ковыряли или меняли их игры.

Журналист Джейсон Шрайер раскопал, что причиной отказа от Mass Effect и Bioware в целом, стали Звёздные войны, а именно — Star Wars Battlefront III.

На стороне Звёздных войн сейчас две достаточно успешные игры: Star Wars: Zero Company и Star Wars: Galactic Racer.

Во-первых, в самой студии уже давно нет ключевых сотрудников и руководителей, которые строили ту самую вселенную Mass Effect.

Да, подробности о Mass Effect: Universe уже после закрытия и утёкший трейлер выглядят интересными, вот только рынок изменился и игроки тоже.

Пользователь Reddit с ником SakuraRM соорудил кастомную панель с 7-дюймовым FullHD-монитором и стереодинамиками, чтобы игровой кубик можно было брать с собой в дорогу.

Ничего сверлить и разбирать для модификации не потребовалось: передняя панель консоли держится на магнитах и отстёгивается на раз-два.

Чёрный пластиковый корпус Steam Machine из общей ретроэстетики выбивался, так что было принято решение обклеить его виниловыми стикерами для пущей маскировки.

Все кнопочки и крутилки на экране сделаны вручную и практического эффекта не имеют.

Если карту памяти в консоль можно зарядить заранее, то с двумя USB-разъёмами на время использования экрана придётся попрощаться.

Главный продавец искусственного интеллекта пожаловался в эфире подкаста Cheeky Pint, что мировые запасы оперативной памяти распределены слишком неэффективно.

По его мнению, дата-центры загружены 24/7 и постоянно отрабатывают запросы миллионов пользователей, в то время как локальные вычислительные мощности пользователей загружены в лучшем случае на 5 % и большую часть времени попросту простаивают.

В условиях тяжелейшего кризиса памяти это «довольно ужасно», — считает Альтман.

А кто этот кризис памяти запустил, закупив 40 % мировых запасов DRAM в 2025 году, предприниматель решил не уточнять.

Народ, признавайтесь: вы сегодня свой компьютер использовали хотя бы на 5 % или, как обычно, только на…

Гонконгский стартап Arrowmax представил умную отвёртку Arrowspace S1 с камерой: с её помощью отвёртка может сама выбрать нужную биту из набора, чтобы открутить винт на вашей клавиатуре или корпусе ПК.

Определив тип и размер шлицы, ИИ-отвёртка зажигает LED-индикатор возле нужной биты в наборе, а затем сама выбирает оптимальную скоростью вращения, чтобы неопытный мастер случайно не испортил головку винта.

Питает всё это добро аккумулятор ёмкостью 600 мА·ч, его должно хватить на 90 минут автономной работы.

За комплект умной отвёртки с битами на «Кикстартере» просят $130, или примерно 10 500 рублей по текущему курсу.

Но, если отвёртка сломается, приобрести её отдельно можно будет за $80, или пр…

Исследователь безопасности Марк Блащик ещё в мае обнаружил эксплойт, который может окирпичить смартфон за 20 SMS.

Если отправить определённое сообщение, то Android не сможет его обработать, но будет очень сильно пытаться.

Если прислать пару десятков таких сообщений, то систему можно отправить в цикл вечной перезагрузки.

При этом смертельное сообщение даже во входящих отображаться не будет!

Идеальное преступление……было бы, если бы ещё 15 июня Google тихо не исправила уязвимость в коде системы.

Попробуем же разобраться, на что обратить внимание, приобретая устройство с рук, и какие подводные ждут на этом тернистом пути.

Пока ждёте, уточните менялся ли аккумулятор, и если да, то как давно.

Если устройство поддерживает только eSIM, заранее уточните на сайте своего оператора, поддерживает ли он eSIM на этой модели и сможете ли вы перенести на неё свой номер.

А если вы из России, но проверяете смартфон не в России, то не используйте российскую eSIM: она просто не активируется за пределами нашей страны.

Если после этого при первоначальной настройке смартфон не запросил чужой Apple ID и устройство не перешло в режим пропажи, то всё в порядке.

Каждый второй зумер (51%) хотел бы стать известным, однако лишь 6% мечтают о славе на всю страну.

Среди миллениалов показатели составили 32% и 3% соответственно, говорится в совместном исследовании коммуникационного агентства Didenok Team и соцсети для поиска работы «Мэйт», с которым ознакомился Russian Business.

Чаще всего желание стать известным возникает в детстве и подростковом возрасте, подчеркивается в исследовании.

По данным Financial Times, руководство авиакомпании не исключает заморозку зарплат и отмену бонусных выплат.

Даже повышение цен на билеты на 20%, спрогнозированное генеральным директором авиакомпании Майклом О’Лири, может не компенсировать увеличение расходов, пишет Financial Times.

Расходы авиакомпании вырастут на €2 млрдПо оценке генерального директора Майкла О’Лири, в финансовом 2027 году затраты Ryanair увеличатся на 33%, или примерно на €2 млрд.

За квартал с июля по октябрь 2026 года чистая прибыль авиакомпании сократилась на 6% — до €1,61 млрд.

Ryanair заранее приобрела около 80% необходимого топлива по зафиксированным ценам.

A defunct NASA space telescope is expected to plummet back to Earth sometime tomorrow.

After attempts to save it failed earlier this year, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, aka the Swift telescope, was shut down at the end of October.

The 1.5-tonne space telescope was launched in 2004 to research the origin of high-energy gamma-ray blasts.

Because the space telescope is now uncontrolled, we can't yet predict when or where it will crash.

End of an era for Swift (but not falling telescopes)Dr Tucker said he would miss the Swift telescope.

Chip stocks kept tracking mud back through the house.

The chipmaker slid about 9% after its worst day since 1974 on Oct. 30, when a disappointing forecast knocked nearly 29% off the stock.

Marvell (MRVL) fell even harder, a drop that came as it agreed to buy Lumentum (LITE) in a $115 billion deal.

Intel, Marvell, AMD and the memory names led the chip rout, while Nvidia barely moved.

Chip and memory stocks have lost about $3.7 trillion in market value since Oct. 6, by Yahoo Finance calculations.

October’s list includes an epigenetic mechanism for why large dogs age faster than smaller ones; physicists who trapped a single particle of antimatter for months; and invisible tattoo inks that only show up under UV light.

Why large dogs age fasterIn many mammalian species, larger creatures tend to have longer lifespans.

Dogs, however, buck this pattern; larger dogs tend to age faster and die younger than smaller ones, which makes canines an ideal model for biologists to study to learn more about aging in general.

Arizona State University scientists report that these lifespan differences seem to be due to so-called “jumping genes,” according to a paper published in the journal Science.

A person in Washington state has died from bird flu after exposure at an infected dairy farm, state health officials reported Sunday.

“Our hearts go out to the individual’s family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Dave Atteberry, health officer for the Yakima Health District, said in a statement.

All three have been in Yakima County.

Last week, Anthropic introduced a new system prompt designed to stop its Claude models from re-creating specific, existing video games.

A new Science study on Manx shearwaters, seabirds that can fly hundreds of kilometers a day over the North Atlantic, shows they jet-lag themselves during their excursions.

And because these birds navigate by the Sun, that jet lag leaves a measurable mark—it skews their compass.

Clockwork compassPatrick Lewin is a behavioral and sensory ecologist at the University of Oxford and lead author of the study.

“Manx shearwaters are medium-sized birds, about the same size as a pigeon,” Lewin said.

But the clock in Manx shearwaters is not perfect.

The agency was on the fence about whether to approve the treatment, and it wanted an independent advisory committee to weigh in.

But according to the FDA, it was hard to interpret the results because the study’s design had been less than optimal.

Some advisory committee members expressed a similar view.

The advisory committee ultimately voted narrowly to recommend approval, and the FDA followed that advice, greenlighting the drug on October 7, 2021.

This financial windfall has unfolded despite a long-roiling investor lawsuit—one that incidentally uncovered what the FDA today believes is evidence that ChemoCentryx employees manipulated the data in the pivotal trial submitted to the agency.

The Hubble Space Telescope still shines in the eyes of astronomers after 36 years in orbit, but it is not as nimble as it once was.

NASA last raised the orbit of Hubble in 2002, when the Space Shuttle Columbia visited the observatory for a servicing mission.

“The requirement includes that the boost and/or servicing mission must not harm the HST and that this mission is expected to occur by 2032,” NASA wrote in the RFI.

A reboost to NASA’s requirement of 373 miles (600 km) would likely keep Hubble in orbit for at least 25 …

The short answer is that it's reasonably safe to use public USB charging stations at airports and elsewhere.

While US agencies, including the FBI and Transportation Security Administration (TSA), have warned against doing so, security researchers say the threat is overblown.

But you've seen the on-screen option to decline calls before, so what gives?

When your iPhone is locked, incoming calls display the "slide to answer" control.

When your iPhone is unlocked, you get the option to answer or decline the call.

You don't need an on-screen button to decline or silence a call, however.

You can do this whether the iPhone screen is locked or not.

The idea of stringing power strips together by plugging one into the other (daisy-chaining) is a convenient, understandable solution.

Everything connected to the second strip draws electricity through the first strip's plug and internal components.

The second problem is each strip's maximum rating, typically expressed in amps.

If a second power strip is plugged into the first and the first is maxed out, the second strip could be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back, drawing too much and overheating the first strip.

Pushing too much current through the internal wiring and components of the first power strip generates "resistive heating."

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel won't have to testify in a high-profile trial over social media addiction after all.

The case was one of several high-profile lawsuits against social platforms over alleged social media addiction and other mental health harms.

Earlier this year, Meta, YouTube, Snap and TikTok faced another lawsuit brought by a 20-year-old woman who said the apps had harmed her as a child.

Both Meta and Snap are still facing numerous other lawsuits over social media addiction and other alleged safety issues.

One of the reasons often cited for the failure of the original Xbox in Japan is that the console (and its original bulky controller) was too big for many Japanese homes.

Now, there was more to it, such as a lack of the genres and franchises Japanese gamers preferred.

But this highlights an important point that space matters; some modern consoles could be an awkward fit if you're living in a cramped studio apartment.

Even in the West, gamers often need to optimize the space around their TV to make it livable for everyone in the home.

That's a potentially expensive mistake with memory prices inflating console costs by hundreds of dollars.

And to make the “ascension” less painful, the Inca would offer coca and alcohol to the sacrifice—the methods for which seem to be more diverse than previously believed.

Although scientists already knew the Inca gave psychoactive plants to sacrificed individuals, it was less clear what specific plants they received.

Scientists believe the phenomenon could explain why blue whale sightings have dramatically declined in the Galápagos Islands.

This suggests that the temperature range in which blue whales feed may not have aligned with the depth at which their food (mainly krill) was located.

There’s been a constant barrage of headlines over the last few weeks about the latest piece of software to get a vibe-coded “clone”: entire games, big-ticket software packages, and everything in between.

This weekend brought the news that Anthropic is adding a rule that prevents Claude, its AI-powered coding assistant, from participating in the wholesale recreation of existing games.

The good news is one of them is the largest Lego set to date, in terms of pieces: a 12,000-piece whopper that needs to be seen to be believed.

But also, there’s a killer set for Dragon Ball fans too: a really beautiful build of Shenron & Goku.

So let’s talk about those and a few others as we dive into this month’s Lego releases.

I do know Lego, though, and this set is stunning.

It’s just a little too small to make the cut when Lego has like 50 Star Wars releases and 20 Marvel releases.

DeepSeek Harness has added a new Creator Mode, which aims to create plugins directly from text prompts.

While AI models are capable of generating responses to prompts and determining a course of action, actually carrying it out requires a harness.

In fact, social media is where more than half of Americans get their news , if not from a chatbot assistant.

A British millionaire explains how buying GTA 6 may actually be a financially smart decision.

Tilbury breaks down how GTA 6 provides gamers with at least 80 hours of entertainment, which breaks down to $1.24 per hour of fun.

Furthermore, GTA 6 is chock full of side missions, which could lead to even more hours of entertainment.

To make his case, Tilbury breaks down a consumer's playing time into 4 hours per night for roughly 50 evenings' worth of entertainment.

But if you're looking to defend your planned time with GTA 6, Tilbury may provide some good points for your argument.

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…

A Chinese state-linked hacking group compromised executive laptops at an agricultural industry conference on Hainan Island this spring — not through phishing or a network breach, but by breaking into hotel rooms and booting the machines from a USB stick while the executives were at dinner. CrowdStrike, which tracks the group as OVERCAST PANDA, disclosed the campaign in its 2026 Threat Hunting Report and detailed the operation's timeline in an interview with VentureBeat at Fal.Con 2026: an intruder entered one room at around 8 p.m. local time and a second room by 9:57 p.m., writing a backdoor called FlowCloud directly to each laptop's storage before rebooting the machines and leaving.

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.

Presented by ZetaEvery forward-deployed engineering (FDE) pitch sounds identical for the first ten minutes: an engineer embedded on-site, a workflow encoded within weeks, a demo that finally works on the customer's real data. What differs is what happens in the following months, and most vendors will not tell you until you ask directly.FDE has become one of enterprise AI’s most consequential operating models. Vendors are building entire go-to-market motions around engineers who embed with customers, wire products into operating environments, and make the demo real. 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. 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…

Also: Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 reviewHow the Galaxy Watch sleep apnea feature worksUsers wear a Galaxy Watch to sleep for a few nights, and the sleep apnea results are divided into three stages: mild, occasional, and frequent.

Many smartwatch and health tracker companies have implemented some sleep apnea detection features on their devices.

Samsung says an update will bring the advanced sleep apnea detection to Galaxy Watch 7 and 8 through future software updates.

The device serves as a calendar, smart home hub, and more.

I’ve been tempted by smart display calendars like the Skylight, but they seemed a little gimmicky and expensive for what’s essentially a large tablet.

Since my current device is an Echo Show 5 — the small counter-top version — it’s not exactly comparable.

Also: The 4 biggest Amazon smart home announcements from this weekMy current Show can display lists and events, but it doesn’t have a permanently present display.

I’m already heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem, so it makes sense that I’d bring a display into the fold as my new smart home centerpiece.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysCertain Netgear routers are vulnerable to security exploits.

Do you own a Netgear router?

The good news: This exploit affects only a small number of Netgear routers, and the company has already issued patches to squash the bugs.

The remaining Netgear router impacted by security flaws is also at end-of-service, and the latest firmware won’t fix its security flaws.

Bluetooth headphones with LE Audio transmit audio in new ways across the board.

Your LE Audio headphones have several less-discussed new tricks.

The shift from Classic Bluetooth to LE Audio is in full swing, as JBL and Sony release flagship headphones and earbuds with built-in LE Audio.

LE Audio consolidates these two profiles, creating higher-quality, bidirectional audio and preserving voice call quality when using wireless headphones.

Battery drain no moreEarlier this year, JBL gave its flagship Tour Pro 3 earbuds an OTA firmware update to support LE Audio, and Sony’s WF-1000XM6 earbuds, released in February, have LE Audio support out of the box.

Beyond many of the bugs themselves, Firefox and Chrome also share an increasing reliance on AI to find and resolve security flaws.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysBanks are taking steps to block AI agents from unauthorized bank account use.

Sharing login credentials with AI agents is risky.

The age-old warning “don’t share your passwords with anyone” applies to AI agents, too.

In an email blast titled “Protecting your finances in the AI world,” Bank of America advised customers against sharing their passwords with AI agents.

JPMorgan has already blocked Muse and AI agent Instinct from accessing bank accounts to seemingly get ahead of this AI privacy issue.

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.

Ruddarraju joined OpenAI in July 2025 and became chief technology officer for compute this July.

When it confirmed that its data centre chief had left, it had already hired a compute CTO but would not say who.

Apple plans to launch Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December with iOS 27.3, two years after the US, excluding the rebuilt Siri AI.

Siri AI is also still missing in the EU, with no indication of when approval might come.

Apple will ship Apple Intelligence in mainland China in December, two years after America got it.

The launch comes with an iOS 27.3 update and excludes the rebuilt Siri AI, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the plans.

In China Apple negotiated terms and got a date, while in Europe its talks with Brussels have produced a date for nothing.

Abdulrahman Alfozan, the OpenAI engineer charged over a hidden recording device, had one-way tickets to Saudi Arabia booked for three days after his arrest, according to a court filing.

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.

Salience Labs has raised an oversubscribed $125M Series B led by Bullhound Capital, with AMD Ventures, Intel Capital and the British Business Bank taking part.

The Oxfordshire company will use it to scale manufacturing and open a second West Coast office.

Plus500 now expects its 2026 revenue and EBITDA to beat what analysts had penciled in, after a third quarter in which its US futures and prediction markets arm kept growing.

The London-listed trading group said so in its Q3 2026 trading update on Monday morning.

Prediction markets move into the core US offerThe part of the update most relevant to the event contract debate is the US business.

The company says the app will bring together futures, options on futures, prediction markets, stocks, options and ETFs.

For anyone tracking how event contracts are spreading beyond Kalshi and Polymarket, the numbers show a traditional CFD broker now leaning on US prediction markets as a growth line.

DraftKings chief executive Jason Robins says the company’s in-house exchange, DKeX, has become the third-largest prediction market operator in the US just a few months after launch.

“We only launched the DraftKings exchange a few months ago, and we’re already the clear No.

DraftKings Predictions is available in 38 states, but the full range of event contracts is offered in only 18 of them, including California, Florida and Texas.

Where DraftKings operates a licensed sportsbook, including Colorado, New York and Pennsylvania, the product is limited to financial event contracts.

A CFTC spokesperson confirmed that letters had been sent to both companies.

Novig was told that its micro contracts, such as a market on which player scores the first points in a basketball game, are susceptible to manipulation.

The letters follow a separate round of CFTC inquiries last month into incentive programs at Kalshi, Polymarket, Rothera and Novig.

Leagues have pushed for limitsOne source said the Novig and ProphetX markets were the kind of event contracts that drew the most negative feedback from professional leagues.

It is not clear what the CFTC would do if either company went ahead and listed the contracts.

The Louisiana Gaming Control Board has unanimously granted DraftKings a conditional four-month license extension while it examines the company’s use of artificial intelligence in customer practices and delays a decision on full renewal.

New Jersey's online casinos posted the third-highest monthly win in the state's history in September 2026 and again beat Atlantic City's casino floors.

In August, online casino win grew only 4.4% to $259.3 million.

Atlantic City floors stumble while online growth holds upThe slump on the casino floors came after a stronger summer.

Sports betting slides as prediction markets draw scrutinySportsbooks had a much weaker month than online casinos.

That gives lawmakers in states weighing online casino bills concrete figures on tax revenue and on how online play compares with land-based casinos.

That figure reflects notional trading volume, which measures potential contract payouts rather than the cash traders paid.

Its analysis found that NFL-related contracts made up 59% of the two exchanges’ combined notional volume on Sept. 13, broadly consistent with the NFL’s estimate.

Notional volume counts the total potential payouts associated with contracts traded; it is not a tally of the money participants put down.

That share increased to 60% by Oct. 11, while the NFL-related share of notional volume rose to 69%.

The size of the market also grew over the period USA TODAY examined.

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially scheduled oral arguments in Apple’s appeal in its long-running legal battle with Epic Games.

A bit of backgroundBack in 2020, Epic Games sued Apple after Fortnite was removed from the App Store for introducing an alternative in-app payment system through a remotely activated update.

Epic challenged Apple’s implementation, and the district court agreed.

With the hearing now scheduled, the case is one step closer to a final decision from the Supreme Court.

However, both sides still have some paperwork to submit before then, as Epic Games has until November 13 to file its brief responding to Apple’s arguments, while Apple’s reply is due December 14.

Apple’s gross margins fall despite record revenueOver the past few quarters, Apple has repeatedly warned that rising component costs would put pressure on its profit margins.

Last quarter, gross margin was 50.1%, up from 49.3% in Q2.

Company gross margin was 47.9%, and products gross margin was 37.2%.

He attributed the expected decline primarily to higher memory costs, alongside the impact of the ongoing Siri AI rollout.

Apple’s research and development expenses reached a new all-time high in fiscal 2026, climbing 32% year over year to $45.77 billion.

As Apple shared in its Q4 2026 results, it spent $11.73 billion on R&D, bringing its total spending for fiscal 2026 to $45.77 billion, a 32% increase compared to the $34.55 billion it spent in fiscal 2025.

Interestingly, today’s figures also suggest that Apple’s R&D spending may be starting to level off.

While Apple’s Q4 2026 R&D expenses were up 32% from $8.87 billion in the year-ago quarter, they were virtually unchanged from Q3, increasing by just $1 million.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about why the Pelican MagSafe Wallet is my favorite wallet for the fall, and the short version was that it’s built for being out and about.

Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack charging and capacityThe Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack is 5,000mAh, which is about one full charge for a standard iPhone and a solid top-up for a Pro Max.

For an outdoor MagSafe battery that spends most of its time topping up an iPhone in a pocket, I don’t think that matters much.

The Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack sacrifices some charging speed for a shell that can take a beating without getting damaged.

Сегодняшний ИИ-дайджест: деньги стали дороже, инфраструктура — политичнее, а локальный ИИ снова упёрся в железоУтро началось с неприятного для ИИ-рынка сигнала: OpenAI, по данным FT и WSJ, уже ищет не $30 млрд при оценке $1,4 трлн, а около $20 млрд при $1,25 трлн. Собрано пока примерно $11 млрд, часть инвесторов сократила обязательства на фоне распродажи в ИИ-активах. Это не «пузырь лопнул», но хороший маркер: даже для OpenAI деньги больше не бесконечные и не бесплатные. 🔗 https://www.ft.com/content/7a3ad950-1b3b-4d9e-8c15-65a61ae6180fУ неооблаков — CoreWeave, Nebius и Nscale — тоже проблемы: WSJ пишет, что они в последние недели фактически отрезаны от дешёвого рынка облигаций, потому что к…

Anthropic переименовывает тарифы: Max 5x теперь просто Max ($100 в месяц), а Max 20x называется Ultra ($200). Цены те же, подписчикам ничего делать не надо. Главное другое: для верифицированных Ultra-аккаунтов убирают 5-часовой лимит, с сегодняшнего дня у большинства существующих подписчиков. Новым аккаунтам временный лимит оставят до верификации, это защита от фрода и абьюза. Когда лимит снимут, придёт письмо.Для тех, кто живёт в Claude Code, это прямо хорошая новость: упираться в пятичасовое окно посреди задачи было самым раздражающим. Но недельные лимиты не меняются.

Судя по всему платформу Polymarket взломали. Фразу "один из наших сторонних провайдеров" надо читать аккуратно, скорее всего, это один из партнеров (часто принадлежащих самому полимаркету), поставляющих исходы событий.Раз уж остановлены торги — это прямо очень заметное событиеhttps://x.com/polymarkettrade/status/2115874609014726842

Конец этого года кажется будет невероятным. Эппл официально объявили новый MacBook Pro, c PROLED XDR монитором. Но это мелочи, самое важное это тач-экран. Через примерно 10 лет после того как тач экраны появились на ноутах с Windows :)Если отставить в сторону шутки - я пошел копить деньги, это очень крутое обновление в первую очередь из-за качества экрана и его яркости. В остальном все предсказуемо, процессор M5 Pro версия с 14" стоит $2900, 16" чуть дороже - $3400. Но я буду брать M5 Max + 16" - ээто от 4.5к.https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/10/apple-unveils-groundbreaking-macbook-pro-with-proled-xdr-display/

Anthropic наконец-то подались на IPO (заполнили форму S-1). И это значит очень интересное: судя по всему у них наконец-то сошлась бизнес-модель. Они сейчас тратят порядка половины триллиона долларов на датацентры у Гугла, AWS и тп. Подача на IPO означает что видимо они верят в заработок более пол триллиона в год (сейчас они зарабатывают почти в 10 раз меньше). Цифры феерические, для компании которая моложе 10 лет. https://www.anthropic.com/news/s1-sec https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2130357/000162828026067168/anthropicpbc-sx1.htm

В сети появился рабочий эмулятор для Switch 2 на ПКЭто произошло на фоне джейлбрейка консоли, случившегося неделей ранее.
