Я провёл аудит веб-сайта CEO Y Combinator Гарри Тана после того, как он похвастался, что выдаёт по 37 тысяч строк кода в день, и держит этот темп уже 72 дня.

membership_form_controller.test (89 КБ), media_grid_controller.test (31 КБ), story_composer_controller.test (19 КБ)... 300 КБ кода тестов.

Полный объём: 654 КБ на два логотипа.

Для контекста: главная страница Hacker News, поддерживаемая собственной организацией Гарри Y Combinator, делает 7 запросов и передаёт 12 КБ.

Я не прочитал ни одной строки слопа исходников.

На днях в Кройдоне состоялась встреча международного комитета по стандартизации языка программирования C++, в которой я принимал активное участие.

В этот раз (как и в прошлый), всё внимание было сосредоточено на C++26 и… теперь он готов!

И на встрече в Кройдоне проблема обрела частичное решение в P3725!

std::runtime_format переименовали в std::dynamic_format , чтобы не было путаницы, ведь этот класс теперь можно использовать в compile‑time, а не только в runtime (P3953).

И на него уже есть планы:std::cstring_view / std::zstring_view ,profiles,units,pattern matching.

1 апреля MTProxy начал массово ломаться - причём не точечно, а сразу у разных пользователей, провайдеров и даже на зарубежных серверах.

Коротко: проблема почти точно не в серверах и не в прокси.

Именно поэтому в обсуждении так часто всплывает ощущение, что проблема не в «конкретном прокси», а в том, что сам трафик стал узнаваемым.

ВыводСитуация с MTProxy в этот раз - это не столько про «конец подхода», сколько про очередной виток уже идущей гонки.

Это означает, что текущий детект, скорее всего, опирается на относительно простые сигнатуры, а не на сложный поведенческий анализ всего трафика.

Экипаж пролетит на расстоянии 6000 км и поставит рекорд — достигнет самой дальней точки в космосе, в которой побывал человек.

Кажется, ты смотришь фильм про лунную программу, но это все происходит вживую!

И это как раз ожидаемый результат: такие полеты нужны не для идеальной картинки, а для того, чтобы выявить слабые места системы до следующих, более сложных миссий.

Но в начале 2026 года новый глава NASA Джаред Айзекман миссию переформатировал.

Часть экипажа спускается на поверхность, а часть — ждет на орбите Луны, как это было в программе «Аполлон».

«Птичьи мозги» — не оскорбление, а вовсе наоборотИ вот, что самое безумное: исследование, проведённое в 2016 году и опубликованное в журнале PNAS, выявило, что в переднем мозге попугаев и певчих птиц умещается приблизительно вдвое больше нейронов, чем в мозге приматов того же веса.

Если считать на единицу массы, птичьи мозги — одни из самых вычислительно-плотных органов королевства животных.

На самом деле, обзывательство «птичьи мозги» больше похоже на комплимент.

Так что правильный ответ — это какапо; забавно, что это тоже новозеландский попугай.

Поэтому когда вам скажут, что у вас птичьи мозги, поблагодарите за комплимент.

Проблема была даже не в том, что обложек нет, а в том, что ими почти никто не занимается.

Когда я это понял, то был, мягко говоря, огорчён, ибо я огромный фанат Врат Штейна.

Многие постеры отбраковывались, некоторые я правил вручную, но это не занимало много времени.

И по итогу от результата меня прям начало переть, и я решил: «Даже если это займёт уйму времени — оно того на 100% стоит».

Разница в качестве — колоссальная, но и в трудозатратах тоже.

Гиря, положенная на ту же чашу, что и груз, как бы имеет знак «минус», а на противоположную — «плюс».

Но главный математический выигрыш даже не в этом, а в плотности записи информации.

Он взял уже известные феррит‑диодные ячейки и переработал схемотехнику так, чтобы они стали удобной основой не для двоичной, а для троичной логики.

Ответ на этот вопрос сложнее, чем кажется, и коренится не в технике, а в человеческой психологии и советской экономике.

Но история технологий — это история не только идей, но и инфраструктуры, экономики и инерции мышления.

И это без потери информации и обратимо.

И Лагранж сказал "невозможно" на ЭТО.

Берём звук → раскладываем на частоты (FFT, Fast Fourier Transform) → смотрим, что получилось → выкидываем то, что человеческое ухо не услышит.

И это все за миллисекунды.

И это не только Wi-Fi.

Ну я, конечно же, пошёл к ветеранам кафедры расспрашивать, что за прибор и откуда он оказался на кафедре.

В нашем вузе, как и во многих других вузах СССР, помимо обучения студентов занимались ещё и наукой.

Что было потом — неизвестно.

Учитывая, что полученные результаты были ещё далеки от массового внедрения, надежды на коммерциализацию не было, а термин «венчурные инвестиции» в стране зазвучал сильно позднее.

Начну с себяПхукет, Дубай, Бали, Воронеж — я сменил не один город и не одну страну, и в моей жизни еще есть место для путешествий.

Прямо сейчас я сижу на веранде своего пентхауса, смотрю на теплый океан и вспоминаю, как все начиналось.

Я пытался медитировать, я ездил на ретриты в Непал, я пил аяуаску с шаманами, чтобы понять, почему растут долги, а не доходы.

Пока ты не назвал папку, ты не владеешь ей.

Эксперты iFixit разобрали наушники и пришли к выводу, что отличить новые «Максы» от предыдущей модели можно лишь по артикулу, скрытому за амбушюрами.

С одной стороны, оригинальные AirPods Max ещё шесть лет назад были нестыдными наушниками с точки зрения ремонтопригодности.

По словам экспертов iFixit, в руках опытного DIY-щика они способны прослужить чуть ли не вечность.

С другой стороны, Apple так и не выпустила мануалы по замене комплектующих и не запустила в продажу запчасти для ремонта, что сильно затрудняет обслуживание в домашних условиях.

Но, самое главное, можно ли назвать новые AirPods Max вторым поколением?

На этой неделе Anthropic из-за ошибки опубликовала полный код клиентской части Claude Code.

Код во всю разнесли по GitHub, и теперь любой желающий может стянуть его себе.

Вот только мошенники тоже не дремлют!

Надо ли говорить, что репозиторий был на первом месте в поиске Google по запросу Leaked claude code?

Так что будьте аккуратны с хайповым и непроверенным софтом: на GitHub вы тоже можете, ничего не подозревая, накачать вредоносное ПО.

После первых сообщений от пользователей компания наконец созналась: телевик с матрицей на 10 Мп, дающий трёхкратное увеличение, временами косячит и делает размытые снимки.

Хорошая новость в том, что проблема отличается от ситуации с камерой S20 Ultra, которой нормально сфокусироваться не давало железо.

Одному из корейских пользователей поддержка ответила, что проблема вызвана ошибкой обработки при переключении объектива.

С каждой новостью о S26 Ultra мы всё больше убеждаемся: брать надо старые модели.

S24 Ultra и S25 Ultra — прекрасные устройства, которые стоят каждой потраченной на них копейки.

Стандартные правила компании позволяют сменить регион учётки только при отсутствии активных подписок, однако Apple сделала для нас с вами ещё одно исключение.

Коллеги по цеху выяснили, что россияне могут сменить регион аккаунта даже с активным iCloud и любой другой подпиской.

Поддержка отметила, что нужно просто проигнорировать предупреждение — и всё сработает.

Валюта из рублей сменится на ту, которая соответствует стране вашего «переезда», а подписки перенесутся.

Поэтому если у вас есть остаток на счёте, то его придётся погасить, обратившись в поддержку.

После блокировки оплаты счёта с помощью мобильного Apple выпустила подтверждение на странице поддержки, в котором есть интересная информация.

Компания пишет, что если у вас закончится iCloud, то все фото и прочие данные останутся.

Рисковать своими данными никто не отважится, поэтому наши коллеги по цеху спросили у поддержки Apple напрямую.

И чтобы окончательно вас запутать: уже известны случаи, когда наши граждане не оплачивали iCloud с июля, но хранилище осталось в порядке.

Учитывая это, становится понятно, что Apple сделала исключение гораздо раньше.

Не волнуйтесь, ни одна черепаха, в отличие от людей, в схеме не пострадала.

Джонатан — это старейшая черепаха в мире, которая живёт на острове Святой Елены, в губернаторской резиденции.

Учётка была зарегистрирована в Бразилии, а настоящий Джо Холлинс никогда не пользовался X.Стоит ли говорить, что сам Джонатан жив-здоров?

А мошенники в X позже сослались на первое апреля и свели всё в шутку.

Это наборы, которые отражают как путь легендарных футболистов на вершину, так и национальные команды.

Маленькие наборы Soccer Highlights, всего по 500 деталей, за $30 посвящены каждому из четырёх футболистов.

Два набора Soccer Legend за $80 — это большие (854 детали и 948 деталей) и немного криповые статуи Криштиану Роналду и Лионеля Месси на фоне своих номеров.

А если вам идолопоклонничество особо не в кайф, то обратите внимание на футбольный мяч, раскрывающийся в стадион, за $100 или кубок за $160.

Ну и два мелких набора на сдачу: эмблема чемпионата за $25 и настенное изображение формы США с фигурками за $20.

Ведомство дало указание российским техкомпаниям и магазинам сотрудничать с властями в выявлении и блокировке граждан, использующих средства обхода блокировок.

Медиагигант рассматривает сценарий покупки Epic Games на фоне финансовых трудностей студии.

Disney такое положение вещей не нравится: в 2024 году она вложила $1,5 млрд в акции Epic Games ради создания совместной «развлекательной вселенной» на базе Fortnite.

Если Epic Games не сможет привлечь игроков обратно, Disney рискнёт попробовать выкупить студию целиком, чтобы вдохнуть вторую жизнь в Fortnite, а также заполучить в свои руки самый популярный в индустрии движок — Unreal Engine.

По словам Хита, топ-менеджмент компании раскололся по вопросу поглощения Epic Games.

Cуперзлодеи, мечтающие о штаб-квартире в жерле вулкана, уже начали скупать первые прототипы.

Чтобы добиться таких результатов, учёным пришлось упаковать мемристоры в слой тугоплавкой керамики, вольфрама, а также сверхтонкий — толщиной буквально в несколько атомов — слой графена, чтобы нейтрализовать прямое воздействие тепла и предотвратить короткие замыкания, случающиеся на высоких температурах.

iPhone 17 Pro и Pro Max стали первыми за долгое время айфонами, которые не получили чёрного или тёмно-серого цвета.

По его словам, компания рассматривает для iPhone 18 Pro различные оттенки бордового, кофейного и фиолетового.

Сомнительно, что утвердят все три решения, но какое-то из них точно появится.

А вот более строгий чёрный/серый достанутся премиальному складному айфону, — сообщил колумнист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

Классический цвет разбавит не менее консервативный серебристый/белый.

Ведомство поставило себе цель победить недобросовестных провайдеров связи и для этого придумало новые правила лицензирования, — сообщают «Известия».

Планируется ввести три типа лицензии стоимостью от 1 до 50 млн рублей.

Эксперты издания отмечают, что обсуждаемый проект вынудит людей больше платить за интернет.

Например, в Москве и области до 30 % услуг оказывают небольшие провайдеры в местах, где крупным игрокам это невыгодно.

Если их не будет, то, помимо увеличения стоимости услуг, интернет может вообще пропасть из-за географической недоступности.

Холдинг Wildberries & Russ приобрёл сервисы такси «Ситимобил» и «Таксовичкоф», а также сервис грузоперевозок «Грузовичкоф».

Приобретение транспортных активов в холдинге объяснили необходимостью развития собственной транспортной логистики.

По данным газеты «Известия», Wildberries планирует успеть запустить свой сервис такси до конца 2026 года.

Прямо сейчас компания тестирует WB Taxi в Беларуси и Узбекистане.

Сумма сделки не раскрывается, но РБК считает, что три транспортные компании обойдутся холдингу примерно в 5−8 млрд рублей, когда сделка будет закрыта.

Альфа-Банк опроверг информацию о сбое в работе сервиса 3 апреля.

Сообщения о сбоях появились утром 3 апреля на фоне масштабных проблем в работе российских банков.

Наибольшее количество жалоб было зафиксировано в Москве и Самарской области, а также в Санкт-Петербурге, Московской и Новосибирской областях.

Крупный сбой в работе сервисов ранее фиксировался в 2024 году: тогда пользователи массово сообщали о недоступности «СберБанк Онлайн» и сложностях с проведением операций.

Slide decks continue to get a bad rap — and another company is doing away with them.

Loading audio narration...On an episode of Sequoia's "Long Strange Trip" podcast released on Thursday, Block CEO Jack Dorsey said that employees at his fintech company no longer bring slide decks to meetings.

The Twitter cofounder is part of a broader shift among tech leaders moving away from slide decks.

Pitch decks are slide shows that give investors and customers key details about a company's founders, its product, and its financial performance.

The pushback against slide decks isn't new.

I will still personally argue that a CMS makes them easier to manage, but they never needed a CMS.

But the idea that AI can migrate your entire site away from your current stack seems incredibly shortsighted.

When a non-technical person changes their store hours in a WordPress site, they can hit Save and look at the site and see that something happened.

You don’t need to throw away your CMS if you do want an AI to change your store hours.

So, what’s really underneath the pitch to migrate your site away from WordPress to an AI-generated, modern, JavaScript-infused site?

And for most of our operation, it's been excellent — simpler deploys, zero connection pooling headaches, no database server to manage.

Three processes with the same WAL file open, all trying to write.

Somewhere in the WAL file contention, the writes were lost.

For a single-server deployment with moderate write volume, SQLite eliminates an entire category of infrastructure complexity.

Until then, a single file handles everything.

Recently, I was reading about cosmology when, in the same volume, an entry on trees piqued my interest.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn about some unusual trees and thought I should share them though it’s a bit different from what I usually write about.

Pacific Coast redwoods are among the tallest trees; the species reaches up to 115.9 m (380.1 ft, that is, which makes it taller than the Statue of Liberty) in height.

Interestingly, studies have shown that low-intensity fires can lead to the growth of younger trees without killing the parent trees.

Reading about trees and writing this post has inspired me to look for resources to learn more about trees.

Overall, it appears that the model uses functional emotions—patterns of expression and behavior modeled after human emotions, which are driven by underlying abstract representations of emotion concepts.

Thus, regardless of whether they correspond to feelings or subjective experiences in the way human emotions do, these “functional emotions” are important.

We next tested whether emotion vectors influence model preferences.

In the full paper, we analyze the properties of emotion vectors in much more depth.

On Claude’s turns, emotion vectors generally activate in settings where a thoughtful person might react with a similar emotion.

Like last year’s budget, the proposal from the Trump administration will undergo major changes as Congress weighs in over the coming months.

Native Americans have been playing with dice in games of chance for more than 12,000 years, according to a new paper published in the journal American Antiquity.

And the oldest examples of Native American dice predate the earliest currently known dice in the Old World by millennia.

“Historians have traditionally treated dice and probability as Old World innovations,” said author Robert Madden, a graduate student at Colorado State University.

These were rudimentary dice with just two sides, rather than the six sides of modern dice, typically described as “binary lots.” And Madden found they were common to virtually every Native American tribe.

As the Artemis II lunar mission moved into its third day on Friday, and with the spacecraft’s big engine firing behind it, the four astronauts on board had a little more downtime.

So the four crew members—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—had their first opportunities to speak with their families at length, and also did a couple of media events.

Wiseman, the mission’s commander, sent a particularly spectacular image on Friday morning that showed our planet’s night side (with a relatively long exposure).

Among the beautiful details in this image were not one but two auroras, as well as zodiacal light in the bottom right of the image.

Banks and other firms that want to work on SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO) are being required to buy subscriptions to the Grok AI service, The New York Times reported today.

Elon Musk “is requiring banks, law firms, auditors and other advisers working on the IPO to buy subscriptions to Grok, his artificial intelligence chatbot that is part of SpaceX,” the NYT wrote, citing anonymous sources who are familiar with the confidential negotiations.

The IPO filing came two months after SpaceX purchased xAI, the Musk company that produces Grok.

Grok could benefit from the SpaceX IPO process at a time when it is the subject of investigations and lawsuits for generating nude images of real peo…

When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users.

On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they see as an all-knowing machine.

Recent research goes a long way to forming a new psychological framework for that second group, which regularly engages in “cognitive surrender” to AI’s seemingly authoritative answers.

That research also provides some experimental examination of when and why people are willing to outsource their critical thinking to AI, and how factors like time pressure and external incentives can affect that decision.

But the researchers argue that AI systems have given rise to a cate…

Donald Trump is facing significant hurdles after declaring, in a series of executive orders last year, that rapid construction of AI data centers was among his top priorities to ensure the US wins the AI race against China.

Perhaps most likely to frustrate the president, his aggressive tariffs on Chinese imports are reportedly hindering most data center projects.

Rather than rely on China, Trump would prefer that the US manufacture its own equipment.

In March, he didn’t mention the power infrastructure problem when ordering tech companies to “build, bring, or buy” the power for their data centers.

But data center builders can’t as easily ignore the fact that it doesn’t matter where the powe…

For more than a month, security practitioners have been warning about the perils of using OpenClaw, the viral AI agentic tool that has taken the development community by storm.

A Rome court has ruled that the price hikes Netflix imposed on subscribers in Italy in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024 were unlawful.

The court ordered Netflix to refund affected customers by up to 500 euros (about $576), depending on their plan.

The lawsuit was brought by Italian consumer advocacy group Movimento Consumatori, which alleged that the price hikes violate the Consumer Code, Italian legislation that aims to protect consumer rights.

Because the price hikes were found to be imposed without providing customers with valid justifications, the court ruled that the new prices are invalid and ordered Netflix to refund affected subscribers.

This comes despite Netflix reportedly providing a 3…

The last half year has been rough for EV adoption here in the US.

Battery factories have been cancelled or repurposed, and EV lineups have been slashed as OEMs write down billions of dollars in the process.

Cox Automotive, for example, forecast a 6.5 percent overall decrease in new car sales for the first three months of the year but a 28 percent decrease in EV sales for the same period.

“To materially change buying behavior and drive a trend toward smaller, more efficient vehicles, consumers would need to believe gas prices will remain elevated for years, not just months,” Cox said.

Others have a slightly more optimistic take, particularly given that gas prices have nudged past the $4/gall…

The Orion spacecraft successfully fired its main engine for 5 minutes and 50 seconds on Thursday, sending four astronauts on a free-return trajectory around the Moon.

For NASA and the Artemis II crew members, this marked a point of no return for more than week.

The last time this occurred was 1972, with the final Apollo Moon mission.

The “translunar injection” burn of Orion’s main engine occurred about one day after the successful launch of the mission on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday.

This included critical systems such as the carbon dioxide “scrubbers” that remove the exhaled gas from the cabin’s atmosphere as well as water systems.

Perplexity’s AI search engine encourages users to go deeper with their prompts by engaging in chat sessions that a lawsuit has alleged are often shared in their entirety with Google and Meta without users’ knowledge or consent.

Starlink operator SpaceX claims that Amazon violated orbital debris requirements by launching satellites into initial altitudes that are too high, increasing the risk of collision with other satellites and spacecraft.

Amazon denied that its launch altitudes violate any requirements or impose a safety risk and said SpaceX itself helped Amazon launch satellites into a similar altitude last year when Amazon used SpaceX as a launch partner.

Specifically, the publisher is teaming up with Toonstar, an AI animation studio, to turn them into digital shows.

The first project will be an adaptation of Lisa Greenwald’s “Friendship List” series, which will also be joined by a graphic novel.

Jason Blundell, a former creative lead on Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Black Ops series, has announced that he's formed a new development studio called Magic Fractal Studios.

Blundell announced the studio on a livestream with former Dark Outlaw Games coworker JC Farmer, a little over a week after the previous studio was closed by Sony.

Dark Outlaw Games was similarly mysterious, and closed before it could even announce its first project.

All that's known is what Blundell has shared after the studio was shut down: Dark Outlaw wasn't working on a live-service game.

He formed Dark Outlaw Games with Sony's backing in March 2025.

He reportedly set a condition for banks, law firms, auditors and advisors who want to work on the SpaceX IPO.

They're required to subscribe to the bastion of nonconsensual deepfakes and occasional Hitler praise known as Grok.

Rather, Musk insisted they subscribe to Grok as part of the privilege of working on SpaceX's IPO.

Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisementFive banks are expected to work on the IPO: Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley.

With banks set to rake in over $500 million from their work on the deal, perhaps paying for Grok, despite its myriad issues, seemed a small price to pay.

On their way around the Moon, the Artemis II crew had time to snap some terrific pictures of our blue planet.

In 1801, the Danish-Norwegian flagship Dannebroge sank during the battle of Copenhagen.

More than two centuries since the iconic battle, researchers have finally found its remains.

In a statement, the Danish Viking Ship Museum in Denmark announced the discovery of both Dannebroge and the remains of those who fell in battle.

The team of maritime archaeologists uncovered the remains 49 feet (15 meters) underwater at the seabeds near Copenhagen harbor.

The battle of Copenhagen is relatively well-documented, but far less is “written about the people who experienced—and died in—the brutal naval battle on 2 April 1801,” the team explained.

Going forward, it’s very likely that we’ll continue to see shifts in how the public, museums, and relevant experts view the broader ethical implications of museums.

Then-prime minister David Cameron said in 2010, “If you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty.

But the U.K. refused, citing the British Museum Act of 1963, which effectively forbids the museum from giving away its collections.

Even so, it’s still a very cool way to experience a movie you have, presumably, seen before with fresh eyes.

Beyond rising gas prices, flyers are now facing higher baggage fees, with two major U.S. airlines raising prices this week.

Under the new pricing, the first checked bag will cost $45 when prepaid, or $50 if purchased within 24 hours of departure.

A second checked bag will cost $55 when prepaid, or $60 last minute.

Fees for a third checked bag are jumping by $50 to $200 whether purchased in advance or within 24 hours of a flight.

Air France said earlier this month it is increasing fares on long-haul flights due to rising jet fuel costs.

Few things can ruin a fun beach or park outing as quickly as a gull with a hankering for your lunch.

But a recent study might have just uncovered a nifty trick that can keep these feathery thieves at bay.

Researchers in the UK studied how European herring gulls (Larus argentatus) in the city reacted to various types of takeout boxes.

The gulls were substantially less likely to approach or peck at boxes that had googly eyes attached to them, they found.

Though not every bird was deterred, the simple design strategy could help ease human-gull conflict, the researchers say.

Now that regret is even deeper, because according to the man behind the Doctor, Academy‘s third season was preparing for an incredible opportunity to go even deeper.

That opportunity is “Living Witness”, the season 4 episode of Voyager that takes a wild, one-off turn.

Naturally, this has made Trek fans believe that, ever since Picardo was confirmed as returning to play the Doctor on Starfleet Academy, the show simply had to pick up on “Living Witness”.

But Starfleet Academy‘s first season surprised fans instead by doing a surprise follow-up to “Real Life”—the episode where the Doctor learns the tough challenges of creating himself a holographic family—to serve as the bridge to bond…

But the psychiatric journal that published this research (which effectively cosigned GSK’s marketing strategy for teens) has now won its right in court to defer any retraction of its widely criticized study.

“The good news is we got the EoC,” as Murgatroyd put it to the nonprofit news site Retraction Watch.

STI’s ghostwriter and the study’s lead author, Dr. Martin Keller, somewhat comically contradicted one another on this issue in sworn depositions.

Those BMJ results were stark.

He opined that it would be “more than disappointing” if AACAP ultimately chose not to retract the study.

If you didn’t have “psychedelic tobacco” on your bingo card of “potential pieces of actual good news” for this week, well, me neither.

But it’s also good news for the rest of us—and not because you might be able to blast off into inner space with the added bonus of lung cancer.

As well as using tobacco plants to replicate naturally occurring psychedelic molecules, the paper also discusses the production of halogenated analogs of these molecules.

(If you’re interested in reading more, this paper on halogen-containing drugs is a good place to start.)

The entire paper is a fascinating read, and happily, it’s available in its entirety for free.

A U.S. fighter jet was shot down in Iran and a second aircraft was downed in the Persian Gulf on Friday.

The New York Times reports the lone pilot of the second plane was already rescued.

🚨‼️ BREAKING 💥The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) announce the downing of an American F-15 fighter jet on Qeshm Island.

This image published by Iranian state media appears to show a damaged fighter jet ejection seat on the ground.

Separate claims that Iran shot down one of the helicopters conducting search and rescue operations have not been confirmed by trustworthy news sources, but they’re also spreading on social media.

It’s not bulky at all, only a little thicker than a base layer, laid comfortably under my jackets, and moved with me on the mountain.

Base layer: A good set of thermals is essential in the fight against cold, especially when you’re working hard.

Socks: As with your base layer, socks keep you warm and maintain your temperature when you’re building up a sweat.

Gloves: You’ll be surprised by how wet ski gloves get when it’s snowing, even if you don’t fall very often.

Short of paving the thing, irrigation is the only way to keep grass on the ground and plants from withering.

Photograph: Chris NullToday’s irrigation solutions are a whole lot smarter than the oscillating sprinklers of yesteryear, and even if you don’t have an in-ground sprinkler or drip irrigation system, you can still get in on the action.

Case in point is Aiper’s IrriSense 2, which is one of the most sophisticated hose-connected sprinklers I’ve tested.

While the average router might fill your home with Wi-Fi, it doesn’t always extend to the patio or deck, much less the end of your backyard.

Moving it slightly closer to your backyard or wherever you want to extend Wi-Fi is the simplest option.

If you have a mesh system, try moving one of the nodes to the back windowsill of your home to extend Wi-Fi into the backyard.

Switching from a single router to a mesh system is a better upgrade if you need to extend that Wi-Fi coverage.

I’m not keen on Wi-Fi extenders, but they can sometimes be the most cost-effective way to get Wi-Fi to a single trouble spot.

On board were Artemis II astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.

As of Thursday, they became the first humans to go beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

One of the most fascinating aspects is also the trajectory that Artemis II will follow during its mission.

The Artemis II astronauts will travel approximately 10,300 kilometers beyond the moon, shattering all previous records for distance from Earth.

The closest approach by Artemis II to the lunar surface will be 7,400 kilometers, which will be reached during the flyby of the far side.

Meta has paused all its work with the data contracting firm Mercor while it investigates a major security breach that impacted the startup, two sources confirmed to WIRED.

Other major AI labs are also reevaluating their work with Mercor as they assess the scope of the incident, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mercor is one of a few firms that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI labs rely on to generate training data for their models.

AI labs are sensitive about this data because it can reveal to competitors—including other AI labs in the US and China—key details about the ways they train AI models.

Mercor contractors were not told exactly why their Meta projects were being paused.

French fries are delicious, but notoriously unhealthy.

Adding that microwave step could reduce the amount of oil used in the process, meaning you would absorb less fat with each bite.

French Fries and HealthAlthough popular, fried foods contain high levels of fat, which is linked to several health problems, including obesity and hypertension.

One of the main difficulties in frying, as the studies explain, is preventing the oil from penetrating the food.

In the early stages of the french fry process, in fact, the pores of the potato are filled with water, leaving no room for the oil.

There are a variety of options out there, but we think most people will be happy with the standard 11-inch model from 2025.

OpenAI announced a major reorganization on Friday as the company’s CEO of AGI deployment, Fidji Simo, takes medical leave to focus on her health.

Brad Lightcap, the chief operating officer and one of Sam Altman’s top deputies, is transitioning to a “special projects” role.

Kate Rouch, the chief marketing officer, is taking a leave of absence to focus on her health.

For my entire time here, I’ve postponed medical tests and new therapies to stay completely focused on the job and not miss a single day of work.

The company is also looking for a chief communications officer to replace Hannah Wong, who left her position in January.

Before joining DOGE, Coristine worked at Elon Musk’s Neuralink for several months and founded a startup known for hiring black hat hackers.

In an interview with Coristine published on Shirley’s YouTube channel on Thursday, Shirley claims that Coristine personally pulled data on Medicaid spending for businesses based in California as potential targets.

Coristine nodded along, telling Shirley that the government must create more opportunities to crowdsource fraud investigations.

The information Coristine allegedly pulled for Shirley was from a dataset published by the DOGE team at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in February.

“After that, I went to California based off that d…

As Barlow wrote in his posthumously published autobiography, Mother American Night, Jackie wanted her 17-year-old son, JFK Jr., to get a taste of rugged ranch life.

They became close, and over the years Barlow moved from a reprobate father figure to more of a friend.

After the night I spent with Barlow and Kennedy, Hannah flew to New York and helped in the postmortem planning for a memorial service.

In 1994, Kennedy moved on from Hannah and wooed the charismatic Carolyn Bessette.

One picture shows Barlow preparing for the formalities with JFK Jr., Ted Kennedy, and the priest.

Yet in a new research paper published this week, Anthropic AI experts argue that there may be major benefits to breaking this taboo and granting AI human characteristics.

The researchers describe how Anthropic trains Claude to assume the character of a helpful AI assistant.

By anthropomorphizing AI, we can gain insights into its "psychology," letting us create even better AI tools, they say.

As the researchers detail throughout the paper, AI chatbots are remarkably capable mimics.

They can create such a convincing facsimile of human emotion and expression that it drives some minority of users into full-on psychosis and delusion.

AI vibe coders have yet another reason to thank Andrej Karpathy, the coiner of the term. The former Director of AI at Tesla and co-founder of OpenAI, now running his own independent AI project, recently posted on X describing a "LLM Knowledge Bases" approach he's using to manage various topics of research interest. By building a persistent, LLM-maintained record of his projects, Karpathy is solving the core frustration of "stateless" AI development: the dreaded context-limit reset.As anyone who has vibe coded can attest, hitting a usage limit or ending a session often feels like a lobotomy for your project. You’re forced to spend valuable tokens (and time) reconstructing context for the AI,…

The baton of open source AI models has been passed on between several companies over the years since ChatGPT debuted in late 2022, from Meta with its Llama family to Chinese labs like Qwen and z.ai. But lately, Chinese companies have started pivoting back towards proprietary models even as some U.S. labs like Cursor and Nvidia release their own variants of the Chinese models, leaving a question mark about who will originate this branch of technology going forward. One answer: Arcee, a San Francisco based lab, which this week released AI Trinity-Large-Thinking—a 399-billion parameter text-only reasoning model released under the uncompromisingly open Apache 2.0 license, allowing for full cust…

For the past two years, enterprises evaluating open-weight models have faced an awkward trade-off. Google's Gemma line consistently delivered strong performance, but its custom license — with usage restrictions and terms Google could update at will — pushed many teams toward Mistral or Alibaba's Qwen instead. Legal review added friction. Compliance teams flagged edge cases. And capable as Gemma 3 was, "open" with asterisks isn't the same as open.Gemma 4 eliminates that friction entirely. Google DeepMind's newest open model family ships under a standard Apache 2.0 license — the same permissive terms used by Qwen, Mistral, Arcee, and most of the open-weight ecosystem. No custom clauses, no "H…

Microsoft on Wednesday launched three new foundational AI models it built entirely in-house — a state-of-the-art speech transcription system, a voice generation engine, and an upgraded image creator — marking the most concrete evidence yet that the $3 trillion software giant intends to compete directly with OpenAI, Google, and other frontier labs on model development, not just distribution.The trio of models — MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 — are available immediately through Microsoft Foundry and a new MAI Playground. They span three of the most commercially valuable modalities in enterprise AI: converting speech to text, generating realistic human voice, and creating image…

Every enterprise running AI coding agents has just lost a layer of defense. On March 31, Anthropic accidentally shipped a 59.8 MB source map file inside version 2.1.88 of its @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm package, exposing 512,000 lines of unobfuscated TypeScript across 1,906 files. The readable source includes the complete permission model, every bash security validator, 44 unreleased feature flags, and references to upcoming models Anthropic has not announced. Security researcher Chaofan Shou broadcast the discovery on X by approximately 4:23 UTC. Within hours, mirror repositories had spread across GitHub.Anthropic confirmed the exposure was a packaging error caused by human error. No cus…

When Intuit shipped AI agents to 3 million customers, 85% came back. The reason, according to the company's EVP and GM: combining AI with human expertise turned out to matter more than anyone expected — not less.Marianna Tessel, the financial software company’s EVP and GM, calls this AI-HI combination a “massive ask” from its customers, noting that it provides another level of confidence and trust. “One of the things we learned that has been fascinating is really the combination of human intelligence and artificial intelligence,” Tessel said in a new VB Beyond the Pilot podcast. “Sometimes it's the combination of AI and HI that gives you better results.”Chatbots alone aren’t the answer Intu…

As generative AI matures from a novelty into a workplace staple, a new friction point has emerged: the "shadow AI" or "Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)" crisis. Much like the unsanctioned use of personal devices in years past, developers and knowledge workers are increasingly deploying autonomous agents on personal infrastructure to manage their professional workflows."Our journey with Kilo Claw has been to make it easier and easier and more accessible to folks," says Kilo co-founder Scott Breitenother. Today, the company dedicated to providing a portable, multi-model, cloud-based AI coding environment is moving to formalize this "shadow AI" layer: it's launching KiloClaw for Organizations and Kil…

Attackers stole a long-lived npm access token belonging to the lead maintainer of axios, the most popular HTTP client library in JavaScript, and used it to publish two poisoned versions that install a cross-platform remote access trojan. The malicious releases target macOS, Windows, and Linux. They were live on the npm registry for roughly three hours before removal.Axios gets more than 100 million downloads per week. Wiz reports it sits in approximately 80% of cloud and code environments, touching everything from React front-ends to CI/CD pipelines to serverless functions. Huntress detected the first infections 89 seconds after the malicious package went live and confirmed at least 135 com…

Deploying AI agents for repository-scale tasks like bug detection, patch verification, and code review requires overcoming significant technical hurdles. One major bottleneck: the need to set up dynamic execution sandboxes for every repository, which are expensive and computationally heavy. Using large language model (LLM) reasoning instead of executing the code is rising in popularity to bypass this overhead, yet it frequently leads to unsupported guesses and hallucinations. To improve execution-free reasoning, researchers at Meta introduce "semi-formal reasoning," a structured prompting technique. This method requires the AI agent to fill out a logical certificate by explicitly stating pr…

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz highlighted in his RSA Conference 2026 keynote that the fastest recorded adversary breakout time has dropped to 27 seconds.

Now CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise endpoints, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances. Every one generates detection events, identity events, and data access logs flowing into SIEM systems architected for human-speed workflows.Cisco found that 85% of surveyed enterprise customers have AI agent pilots underway. Only 5% moved agents into produ…

“Your AI? It’s my AI now.” The line came from Etay Maor, VP of Threat Intelligence at Cato Networks, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat at RSAC 2026 — and it describes exactly what happened to a U.K. CEO whose OpenClaw instance ended up for sale on BreachForums. Maor's argument is that the industry handed AI agents the kind of autonomy it would never extend to a human employee, discarding zero trust, least privilege, and assume-breach in the process.The proof arrived on BreachForums three weeks before Maor’s interview. On February 22, a threat actor using the handle “fluffyduck” posted a listing advertising root shell access to the CEO’s computer for $25,000 in Monero or Litecoin. T…

Slack today announced more than 30 new capabilities for Slackbot, its AI-powered personal agent, in what amounts to the most sweeping overhaul of the workplace messaging platform since Salesforce acquired it for $27.7 billion in 2021. The update transforms Slackbot from a simple conversational assistant into a full-spectrum enterprise agent that can take meeting notes across any video provider, operate outside the Slack application on users' desktops, execute tasks through third-party tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and even serve as a lightweight CRM for small businesses — all without requiring users to install anything new.The announcement, timed to a keynote event that Salesf…

Anthropic appears to have accidentally revealed the inner workings of one of its most popular and lucrative AI products, the agentic AI harness Claude Code, to the public.A 59.8 MB JavaScript source map file (.map), intended for internal debugging, was inadvertently included in version 2.1.88 of the @anthropic-ai/claude-code package on the public npm registry pushed live earlier this morning. By 4:23 am ET, Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice), an intern at Solayer Labs, broadcasted the discovery on X (formerly Twitter). The post, which included a direct download link to a hosted archive, acted as a digital flare. Within hours, the ~512,000-line TypeScript codebase was mirrored across GitHub and anal…

For the modern enterprise, the digital workspace risks descending into "coordination theater," in which teams spend more time discussing work than executing it. While traditional tools like Slack or Teams excel at rapid communication, they have structurally failed to serve as a reliable foundation for AI agents, such that a Hacker News thread went viral in February 2026 calling upon OpenAI to build its own version of Slack to help empower AI agents, amassing 327 comments. That's because agents often lack the real-time context and secure data access required to be truly useful, often resulting in "hallucinations" or repetitive re-explaining of codebase conventions. PromptQL, a spin-off from …

Bloom Card pros and cons Pros Better app than Brick.

The Brick is far stricter, and I hope the Brick never offers up breaks because of the counter-productivity of this Bloom feature.

The GemmaverseSince the release of Gemma two years ago, in February 2024, the open model has experienced considerable adoption.

SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a growing constellation of startups are now racing to make that vision real.

What is also real, scientists argue, is the physics that makes orbital computing spectacularly difficult at any meaningful scale.

Even OpenAI’s Sam Altman, who explored a multibillion-dollar investment in rocket maker Stoke Space as a potential SpaceX competitor for orbital data centres, has publicly called the concept “ridiculous” for the current decade.

None of this means orbital data centres will never exist.

The question scientists are asking is not whether space data centres are theoretically possible.

Six months after renegotiating the contract that once barred it from independently pursuing frontier AI, Microsoft has released three in-house models that directly challenge the partner it spent $13 billion cultivating.

Microsoft remains its single largest investor and its primary cloud infrastructure provider, and the two companies continue to share a platform in Foundry, which hosts both OpenAI and Microsoft models.

The broader AI model market is fragmenting along similar lines.

Suleyman has said it will take another year or two before the superintelligence team produces frontier-class language models.

But the premise on which it was built, that Microsoft needed OpenAI to compete in AI, i…

Tesla delivered 358,023 battery electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2026, edging past BYD’s 310,389 pure electric sales to reclaim the global quarterly BEV lead it surrendered across all of 2025.

Year on year, deliveries rose 6.3 per cent from Q1 2025’s 336,681 units.

The Chinese New Year holidays fall in Q1 and consistently depress domestic purchase volumes, making the period BYD’s weakest for pure electric sales every year.

BYD, by contrast, is managing a controlled transition from pure electric dominance toward a hybrid-plus-export model that diversifies its revenue geography and product mix simultaneously.

The question is no longer which company sells more pure electric cars in a …

The appeal of a unified platform in this context is not abstract.

NinjaOne shipped two major products (ITAM and vulnerability management) in the space of five weeks.

Compliance demands the kind of continuous visibility and automated remediation that a unified platform provides more naturally than a collection of point solutions.

The healthcare push, the F1 partnership, the Gartner recognition, and the expansion into asset management and vulnerability management all suggest a deliberate move toward larger enterprises.

Microsoft Intune, which comes bundled with many enterprise licencing agreements, continues to expand its endpoint management capabilities.

Anthropic has acquired Coefficient Bio, a stealth biotech AI startup founded barely eight months ago, in an all-stock deal worth just over $400 million.

In practice, Coefficient Bio had built a platform enabling AI to draft drug research and development plans, manage clinical regulatory strategies, and identify new drug candidates.

The Coefficient Bio team will join Anthropic’s Health Care Life Sciences group, led by Eric Kauderer-Abrams, who was hired in 2025 with an explicit mandate to make Claude the dominant AI model in biology.

Healthcare and life sciences represent a vast adjacent market where Anthropic has laid the groundwork with Claude for Life Sciences but has not yet achieved the…

Tencent Holdings has launched ClawPro, an enterprise AI agent management platform built on OpenClaw, the open-source framework that has become the fastest-growing project in GitHub’s history and the unlikely centrepiece of a national technology craze in China.

The country now has more OpenClaw users than any other, roughly double the activity of the United States according to analysis by SecurityScorecard.

On 11 March, Tencent Cloud launched SkillHub, a Chinese-localised mirror of OpenClaw’s ClawHub marketplace, by scraping more than 13,000 skills from the original registry.

Five days later, Tencent Cloud and Tencent AI appeared on OpenClaw’s official sponsor list, providing lightweight app…

[Washington, DC – April 2, 2026] – IREX, a global pioneer in ethical AI and intelligent video analytics deployed across 10+ countries and over 300,000 cameras, announced a major update to its FireTrack smoke and fire detection module.

Built on IREX’s ethical AI platform, the new module processes visual data in just 75–105 milliseconds – or about 0.1 second -, identifying danger almost instantly.

The updated model analyzes how fire and smoke evolve over time, distinguishing genuine hazards from harmless visuals like fog, headlights, or glare.

“Because the IREX AI platform seamlessly operates on existing camera networks, cities and organizations can strengthen fire safety without installing s…

The German startup detects online hate, digital violence, and disinformation across 89 languages in real time, and works with public prosecutors and police alongside commercial clients.

Penemue, the Freiburg-based TrustTech startup developing AI to detect and counter online hate speech, digital violence, and disinformation, has raised more than €1.7 million in a new funding round.

An impact evaluation conducted by the University of Mannheim has documented positive effects in combating digital violence.

OpenAI says TBPN will keep its editorial independence.

OpenAI has acquired TBPN, the Technology Business Programming Network, the Silicon Valley talk show that has built a cult following among founders, investors, and executives since launching in March 2025.

TBPN will sit inside OpenAI’s strategy organisation and report to Chris Lehane, the company’s chief global affairs officer.

TBPN will report to Lehane, a figure who served as a senior strategist in the Clinton administration and who has been described as a political operative skilled at managing press narratives.

Within this environment, Fortis Solutions emphasizes a foundational principle: AI benefits from human governance.

Fortis Solutions acknowledges that even with strong governance, human limitations remain part of the equation.

Generative AI systems can produce outputs that appear credible yet lack factual grounding, often referred to as hallucinations.

Fortis Solutions aims to address this gap through a focus on controlled AI environments.

AI systems can benefit from diverse perspectives, continuous feedback, and the ability to adapt as organizational needs and societal expectations evolve.

Ex-Human, the developer behind Botify and Photify AI, is suing Apple over what it calls “arbitrary” App Store removals.

As for the Photify AI app, it has also generated its share of controversy for allowing users to “generate images of real people wearing revealing outfits without their consent,” according to the San Francisco Business Times.

Back to the lawsuit, Ex-Human alleges that both apps were removed from the App Store due to what Apple referred to as “dishonest or fraudulent activity.” Ex-Human alleges that Apple didn’t provide specific examples of what led to the removal.

Ex-Human argues that in the past, the App Store business development team classified the company as a “high-gro…

AI servers need a lot of RAM, and that’s seriously affecting Apple’s top Mac RAM inventory.

M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 256GB RAM ships in August or SeptemberIf you order an M3 Ultra Mac Studio with the only remaining RAM upgrade today, Apple says it will arrive in four to five months.

Apple already dropped the highest configuration last month when the company stopped selling the 512GB RAM version.

The standard M3 Ultra Mac Studio that comes with 96GB RAM isn’t exactly readily available either.

Mac Studio currently comes with M4 Max or M3 Ultra chips.

Apple TV just brought back one of last year’s biggest hit shows, and this summer at least three more series are scheduled to return—including a long-awaited title.

Ted Lasso season 4We believed, and now it’s finally happening: Ted Lasso is returning to Apple TV.

Apple Maps in iOS and iPadOS 26.5 adds a new ‘Suggested Places’ feature.

Have you discovered anything new in the iPadOS 26.5 public beta or any other update?

Following the release of the first developer beta of macOS 26.5 earlier this week, it’s time for users in the Public Beta program to take the upcoming macOS version for a spin.

macOS 26.5, on the other hand, is looking more like a “bug fixes and stability improvements” release, with no significant new features introduced so far.

It is entirely possible that future beta releases may introduce new features ahead of the official release of macOS 26.5, which should be the last big macOS release ahead of WWDC26, and the announcement of macOS 27.

The release build of macOS 26.5 public beta 1 is 25F5042g, which is the same as the developer beta.

AirPods Pro 3 just arrived last fall, but reporting indicates Apple has another new AirPods Pro model coming this year.

For example, the next AirPods Pro are not expected to be called ‘AirPods Pro 4.’ Though Apple’s product branding is always hard to discern in advance, expectations are that the new model will essentially be a higher-end version of AirPods Pro 3.

As a result, the new AirPods might retain ‘AirPods Pro 3’ branding but with an added suffix.

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую.
