С июля 2026-го объём претензий увеличился более чем в два раза — тогда «Ъ» писал о спорах на 972,7 млн рублей.

Стороны судятся из-за замороженных активов российского регулятора.

Рост поддержали сильные финансовые результаты, повышение прогноза по прибыли и расширение программы обратного выкупа акций.

Возможно, кто‑то скажет, что Habr — не Pikabu, что этой статье здесь не место.

Однако поскольку Timeweb регулярно публикуется здесь с рекламой, возьму на себя риск и отступлю немного от канона, чтобы выступить этаким балансиром.

Что Timeweb предлагалВ момент регистрации на их сайте висело объявление.

Далее, как обычно: ПО проинсталлировано, и я спокойно расслабился до, как мне тогда казалось, — 15 апреля следующего года.

Деньги дескать лежат (у них же) на балансе, списываются ежечасно, и на сколько их хватит — зависит от цены, которую провайдер считает на сегодня.

Домашние ПК из 8–16 битной эпохи, оснащённые примитивными звуковыми чипами, стали огромным подспорьем для энтузиастов, но для студийного применения не годились.

Лишь Atari ST с её встроенным MIDI-интерфейсом и Amiga с 8-битным цифровым звуком оказались вхожи в около-профессиональные музыкальные круги, но в основном в роли секвенсора.

Лично я, например, познакомился с ReBirth в 1999 году благодаря какому-то непонятному CD, то ли от журнала, то ли просто праздношатающемуся сборнику разношёрстных программ, среди которых, кажется, был Ulead GIF Animator.

ReBirth OneВ 2010-ом году случился последний выдох господина ПЖ: платный официальный порт ReBirth на iOS для планшетов системы iPad и телефоно…

Поменяли урезанную сборку весов на полную, поправили конфигурацию сервера, научили инструменты спокойно относиться к мелким огрехам сериализации — и на том же самом железе локальная Qwen 3.8 взяла реванш!

В настройках нашего агента OMP стоял привычный потолок maxTokens: 8192, а на стороне сервера была включена настройка «answer_room»: true.

Результаты лучших моделей на 26 задачах лабораторного журнала (ELN Suite 1.1, системный промпт P4).

Самое смешное, что харнесс OMP такие мелочи спокойно переваривает и на лету приводит «True» к булеву true.

Держите в ОЗУ только оставшиеся 33,5 ГиБ из 40,0 ГиБ, а освободившееся место отдайте под кэш диалогов (‑conversation‑cache‑mib 5376).

После проведения целой серии экспериментов мне стало очевидно, что это несерьёзно, и постоянно быть не уверенным в полученном результате, особенно при серии плат — это никуда не годится.

В результате я купил плоский светодиодный УФ-прожектор на 50 Вт, с длиной волны излучения в 395 нм:Кстати говоря, стоит иметь в виду: штука очень мощная!

То есть, если бы я работал не как сейчас, в режиме теста, то я бы сделал эти 12 комплектов дорожек где-то минут за 10!

Это с 0,2 мм дорожками!

:-D И это вполне реально...Самое интересное, это всё — ДАЖЕ БЕЗ АПГРЕЙДОВ (двигатели, управляющая плата)!

13 октября 2026 года Линус Торвальдс ответил в рабочей переписке разработчику, который хотел ограничить ИИ в работе над ядром Linux.

Ответ был довольно резким и саркастическим: Торвальдс предложил оппоненту отказаться не только от ИИ, но и от компиляторов.

Довод такой: ИИ сильно ускоряет работу, и сам Торвальдс рассказывал, что с ИИ сделал за пару месяцев то, на что ушли бы годы.

«ИИ не изменяет программирование»По мнению Торвальдса, ИИ — следующий шаг в цепочке инструментов, которая началась с машинного кода и продолжилась ассемблером и компиляторами.

Так что ИИ — это здорово, но ИИ не изменяет собственно программирование.

В этой статье я расскажу, что с ним произошло за эти три года и как я его модифицировал.

Первое, что я сделал, — арендовал у провайдера белый статический v4 адрес.

Оглядываясь назад, понимаю, что стоило потратить чуть больше денег и купить что-то управляемое и с большим количеством портов.

Тут мне заломили очень большую ценуПрошли сутки, и я забрал свою стойку и приступил к сборке.

Надеюсь, что спустя ещё несколько лет я напишу статью с названием «От Minisforum до серверной стойки за 200 000 рублей.

Что запустили 11 сентябряВ конце августа государственная комиссия по радиочастотам бесплатно и в равном объёме выделила четырём операторам («МТС», «МегаФон», «Билайн» и «Т2») полосы в диапазоне 4,63–4,99 ГГц.

«Известия» протестировали все четыре сети в центре Москвы, на вокзалах, в «Сити» и в метро.

Как раз эта ситуация показывает, что значок 5G, скорость 5G и сама технология 5G сейчас независимы друг от друга и могут встречаться в любых комбинациях.

Сейчас базовая станция в реальном времени нарезает одну и ту же полосу LTE-частот между абонентами четвёртого и пятого поколений, в зависимости от того, кто сейчас в сети и на чём.

Сотовая связь в нашем мире — это в первую очередь резервный кан…

Но вставил получившуюся строку в Edge… И… чудо действительно случилось: кошелёк её принял и показал под полем адрес cosmos1… .

Мой тест в Edge: строка с -ibc.x подставляет адрес CosmosМоя проверка в Edge.

Схема: как доменное имя выдают за обменникЕсли подтвердить последний шаг, уйдёт обычный перевод ATOM на чужой Cosmos-адрес.

Мой sansmaster.x в Edge подставляет мой адрес для ATOMВсё тот же Edge, только теперь sansmaster.x подставляет мой адрес ATOM.

Он меня проклял и сообщил, что для таких, как я, в аду есть отдельный чан ))Но всё равно ему спасибо.

Может, хватило бы обычного настольного компьютера 1996 года с более умным движком?

На моём Pentium Pro сборка Crafty 11.13 образца 1996 года играет с рейтингом 1999 ± 90 при секунде на ход и 2383 ± 77 при десяти секундах на ход.

Когда я его провожу, современный движок на Pentium Pro 1996 года играет против Crafty 1996 года, запущенного на современном железе, и набирает 78 побед, 17 ничьих и 5 поражений.

(Везде в этой статье, где я говорю «я написал», на самом деле имеется в виду «я попросил написать языковую модель».

Но если вы вдруг знаете супергроссмейстера с рейтингом 2700+, который хотел бы попробовать обыграть движок 2026 года на железе 1996-го, — я с радостью приму вызов!

Она пригодится тем, кто покупает на Taobao, Tmall и 1688, и тем, кто собирается в Китай: там через Alipay можно оплатить метро и транспорт, билеты, отели и многое другое.

Это не финансовая и не юридическая рекомендация.

Для моих задач хватает DeepSeek — я применяю его API для кодинга и своих хотелок.

Однажды вечером увидел shorts в Instagram и решил сделать аккаунт в Alipay, чтобы платить самому.

Оплата DeepSeek APIИдём на DeepSeek Platform, выбираем нужную сумму и нажимаем:CNY → Alipay → Next step.

Гибридные уши (STT) — связка Vosk (как быстрый детектор речи и прерываний) и Faster-whisper (для точной финальной транскрибации).

А в идеале все это собирается в один .exe (через PyInstaller), где пользователю достаточно запустить один файл.

Docker — это круто для облачных кластеров, но для локального десктопного AI-ассистента он стал бы лишним слоем абстракции и барьером для аудитории.

Поднимите srv_llm и работайте с ним как с обычным API.

Как подключить (пример для pyproject.toml ): "infrastructure2 @ git+https://github.com/Mike2024New/infrastructure2.git" Важное примечание: репозиторий пока слабо документирован (это в разработке), но код рабочий и используется в моих проектах.

ПланированиеРаньше я как разработчик в прошлом и как тимлид понимал, сколько стоит программирование того или иного модуля, той или иной фичи.

И в этот момент заказчику будет всё равно, что в вопросе качества мы положились на ИИ, отвечает то в итоге разработчик!

Мы не халявщики, мы партнёры!

Тимлид должен понимать, куда примерно движется компания, департамент и отдел и в нужном компании русле транслировать правильные установки ниже.

Но пока всё ложится на старый паттерн, где тимлид в итоге отвечает почти за всё на производстве ПО.

Ничего нового я не придумал, но мне хочется показать вам мой набор базовых стилей, которые я использую для всех проектов.

Давайте посмотрим, что я вам подготовил.

Конечно, это не все отличия, но они являются основными.

Значение balance для свойства text-wrapНесколько лет назад в большинстве браузеров стало работать значение balance для свойства text-wrap .

И главное, что это всё сделал сам браузер.

Как эта фигня вообще работаетОбычный сервер, как и ваш десктоп, охлаждается воздухом.

Сама установка имеет габариты: чуть больше двух метров в длину, порядка метра в ширину, и в высоту она у нас где-то сантиметров 80.

Иммерсионка — это билет в один конец для железаПогружение оборудования в иммерсионную ванну — это билет в один конец.

И это в Москве!

Ещё бонусыВ ванне практически нет вибраций, потому что жидкость не кипит, не булькает и не идёт рывками.

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 .

Хотя я всё чаще пытаюсь разобраться в своих сомнениях и не понимаю, что не так.

Я не понял, есть ли тут пульсоксиметр, у меня так и не заработал.

И здесь не USB-C, что было бы логично, в компании хотят заработать ещё и на аксессуарах, так что свой формат разъёма.

То есть просто я не могу крутить камерой и не могу ничего делать.

Но вышло дешевле, так что я не стал заламывать руки.

стоят в США больше $1600.

Анонсированный Motorola флагман Signature 27 обладает каким-то совершенно бессовестным ценником, за который в США можно взять аж целый S26 Ultra.

Что касается длительности работы от батареи: автор Tom’s Hardware сравнил MacBook Pro 16″ PROLED XDR с MacBook Pro 14″ на miniLED в унифицированном тесте.

ВыводыАвторы трёх изданий считают, что на новинку стоит смотреть разве что тем, кто очень давно не обновлялся (например, владельцы M1 Pro).

Розничная цена в США Конверсия по курсу ЦБ MacBook Pro на M5 Pro (14″) от $2400 от 195 000 руб.

MacBook Pro с PROLED XDR (14″) от $2900 от 235 000 руб.

MacBook Pro с PROLED XDR (16″) от $3400 от 276 000 руб.

С использованием новой технологии Bluetooth High Data Throughput (HDT) скорость обмена данными в ней доходит до 7,5 Мбит/с.

Благодаря такому скачку, скорости будет достаточно для передачи высококачественного аудио.

Среди кейсов использования так и перечисляют передачу премиального беспроводного, пространственного и многоканального объёмного аудио.

В список входят «интернет вещей», ИИ-гаджеты, а также XR- и AR-гарнитуры, они теперь смогут получать качественное видео и аудио с минимальной задержкой по широкому каналу.

Пока известно, что это некое «стандартизированное премиальное решение для передачи беспроводного аудио».

Надежду на игру в 60 FPS при достойном разрешении подарил анонсированный две недели назад апскейлер AMD FSR 4.1 Lite.

Он построен на базе суперкомпактной ML-модели и может запускаться даже на слабом железе, включая XBOX Series S.Microsoft уже протестировала технологию на своих консолях и поделилась циферками.

Для тех, кому мало просто щеголять новенькой раскладушкой Apple, российское премиум-ателье предлагает затюнить его вашим знаком зодиака.

Владелец может выбрать металлы, камни, фактуры и оттенки эмали, которыми будет выстлан айфон.

Всего, как утверждает производитель, можно собрать до 15 млн уникальных комбинаций.

Caviar в курсе трескающегося экрана iPhone Duo, поэтому уверяет, что перед отправкой тщательно тестирует гаджет на складывание.

Максимальная конфигурация достигает 8 млн рублей.

На фоне успешного дебюта «Нео» компания решила увеличить объёмы производства бюджетной модели на следующий год с 8 до 16 млн устройств.

За прошедшие 12 месяцев Apple поставила сразу два рекорда: один — по количеству проданных Mac, второй — по количеству отгруженных Mac новым пользователям, которые обзавелись яблочным компьютером впервые.

Оба рекорда стали возможны благодаря оглушителньному спросу на MacBook Neo.

Как ожидается, Apple представит обновлённый MacBook Neo на чипе от iPhone 17 Pro уже следующей весной.

Больших изменений в дизайне лэптопа не ждём: только новый чип с 12 ГБ объединённой памяти, новые цвета и, быть может, новую цену.

Оптимизированный билд Discord Phoenix пока что находится на стадии закрытой альфы, но в ближайшее время его откроют для первых бета-тестеров.

Визуальных изменений не ждите: новое приложение выглядит и работает идентично предыдущему.

Новое приложение, если что, написано на Rust, поэтому есть все основания полагать, что разрабатывалось оно лапками вайбкодеров.

Искусственный интеллект кризис памяти породил — ему его и разгребать.

Вместе с «Дискордом» оптимизировать потребление памяти пытается Microsoft — компания уверяет, что новый билд Windows 11 на 20 % отзывчивее работает на компьютерах с 8 ГБ памяти.

Компания прикрутила в App Store специальный API по удержанию клиентов, с помощью которого разработчики смогут долбить пользователей скидками и выгодными предложениями, если те задумают отказаться от ежемесячной подписки.

Всплывающие сообщения должны будут «напомнить о том, насколько выгодно оставаться пользователем сервиса» или предложить единовременную скидку на подписку.

Содержимое таких сообщений и частоту их появления разработчики смогут настроить самостоятельно.

Видимо, CEO Apple Джон Тернус начал жёстко давить на педаль «ДЕНЬГИ», чтобы выручка от сервисов продолжала расти рекордными темпами.

Навязчивые сообщения будут появляться на всех актуальных (и не очень) яблочных устройствах под…

Такие данные приводит The Wall Street Journal, сравнивая закупочные цены на комплектующие и розничные на модели.

Но год назад было хуже: если сейчас память для потребителя стоит в три раза больше закупочной цены, то в прошлом году разница была в 8−12 раз.

За апгрейд до 1 ТБ в iPhone 17 Pro покупателю приходилось доплачивать $400, а Apple этот терабайт обходился в $42.

Правда, если переводить в деньги, то логика ломается, и Apple в этом году вполне себе жадничает: в 2025 году на апгрейдах компания зарабатывала $358, а в этом — уже $408.

Закупочные цены на память летят вверх, но сидящие в купертиновском «бублике» люди всё ещё очень любят деньги.

Компания вошла во вкус и выпустила уже третье поколение умных колец в дизайне своих самых узнаваемых часов — CRW-002.

От оригинальных часов 1995 года они унаследовали дизайн и подсветочку.

Кольцо защищено от попадания случайных брызг, но работает от батарейки: через пару лет его всё равно придётся вскрывать, чтобы заменить элемент питания.

В отличие от предыдущей модели CRW-H001M-8, третье поколение лишилось шагомера и датчика пульса.

За серебристую версию просят $135, за золотую — $155, или примерно 11 000 и 12 700 рублей по текущему курсу.

Великий и ужасный рептилоид будет собираться из 5363 деталей, а габариты готовой модели составят 70 × 27 × 40 см.

Примечательно, что идея проекта взята с сайта LEGO Ideas, где фанаты буквально собирают свою фантазию по кусочкам.

Годзилла смог пройти вступительный этап, набрав 10 000 лайков от участников портала, а потом прошёл внутреннее одобрение от экспертов LEGO.

Жаль, что эти эксперты редко берут что-то по-настоящему оригинальное.

Годзилла появится в продаже уже после первого снега — 27 ноября.

На фоне финансовых трудностей компания готовится провести масштабную реструктуризацию и выделить Nubia в самостоятельную организацию, доля в которой будет продана новым владельцам, — сообщает Gizmochina.

Обсуждаемая сумма сделки уже достигла 40 млрд юаней, или примерно $5,98 млрд по текущему курсу.

По данным портала, новое юрлицо получит полный контроль над смартфонами Nubia, включая право продавать их как на территории Китая, так и на глобальных рынках.

При этом игровой бренд REDMAGIC останется в интеллектуальной собственности ZTE.

Пока что ZTE рассчитывает сохранить долю в новой компании, но детали сделки ещё не финализированы.

Ozon Банк восстановил работу сервисов после масштабного сбоя 6 ноября, сообщили в пресс-службе компании.

В Ozon Банке извинились перед клиентами за сбой в работе сервисовПо данным компании, 6 ноября у части пользователей возникли сложности со входом и оплатой покупок.

В компании также принесли извинения за доставленные неудобства и поблагодарили клиентов за понимание.

Причины сбоя в кредитной организации не уточнили.

АКРА подтвердило кредитный рейтинг «Яндекс Банка» на уровне A(RU), изменив прогноз со «стабильного» на «позитивный», рассказали Russian Business в компании.

В России необходимо создать центр прогнозирования трансформации профессий под влиянием искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), заявил ректор Корпоративного университета «Газпром нефти» Илья Дементьев.

По его мнению, университеты не успевают адаптировать образовательные программы к технологическим изменениям и не могут определить, какие специалисты понадобятся рынку через 10–15 лет.

Студенты, окончившие университеты в 2026 году, поступали в них в 2022-м, когда первые версии ChatGPT только появились и воспринимались многими как «игрушка».

Компания OpenAI раскрыла информацию о выявлении в ядре Linux 1724 уязвимостей, для 948 из которых удалось создать рабочие эксплоиты, позволяющие локальному пользователю получить root-доступ в системе, а для 291 уязвимости подготовить эксплоиты, приводящие к утечке информации. Затраты на анализ кода и генерацию эксплоитов при помощи AI-моделей GPT-5.5 и GPT-5.6 Cyber оцениваются в 1.21 млн долларов, что составляет 1279 долларов за каждый эксплойт. Для сравнения вознаграждения на разработку одного подобного эксплоита на конкурсах Pwn2Own и TyphoonPWN составляет от $20000 до $70000 (рентабельность от 16 до 55 раз).

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

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

Исправление уже доступно в Alpine и OpenWRT.

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

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

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

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

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

Опубликован релиз дистрибутива Omarchy 4.5, собравшего более 23 млн долларов на разработку. Проект развивает Давид Хейнемейер Ханссон (David Heinemeier Hansson), автор веб-фреймворка Ruby on Rails, пытающийся сформировать идеальное для себя Linux-окружение. Дистрибутив создан в соответствии с принципом "Omakase Computing", предполагающим, что большинство пользователей в начале своего пути не знают, чего именно они хотят, и для них будет лучше не терзать себя попытками выбора, а воспользоваться набором инструментов, подготовленным тем, чьей компетентности и вкусу они доверяют. Наработки проекта распространяются под лицензией MIT. Размер ISO-образа 6.5 ГБ (x86_64, ARM64).

Представлен выпуск дистрибутива Bazitte 45, ориентированного на любителей компьютерных игр. Дистрибутив основан на наработках проектов Fedora Kinoite 45 и Fedora Silverblue 45, развивающих атомарно обновляемые редакции Fedora Linux с рабочими столами KDE и GNOME. Сборки сформированы для ПК, ноутбуков, телеприставок и игровых консолей, таких как Steam Deck, Asus Ally, GPD, Ayn и MSI Claw.

Голосование национальных комитетов ISO (NB, National Bodies) завершилось отказом утверждения международного стандарта C++26, финальный вариант спецификации для которого был принят в марте.

Это первый подобный случай в истории развития основного стандарта C++.

Представители нескольких национальных комитетов посчитали данную функциональность недостаточно зрелой, несмотря на то, что при утверждении рабочей группой WG21 за неё проголосовали более 2/3 участников.

Следующее заседание рабочей группы намечено на 16 ноября и пока не ясно смогут ли участники договориться в ситуации пошатнувшегося доверия.

Для дальнейшего продвижения спецификации C++26 или её отмены требуется достижение консенсуса, но…

После года разработки опубликован релиз дистрибутива openSUSE Leap 16.1, построенного на технологиях коммерческого дистрибутива SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.1, релиз которого ожидается позднее в этом месяце. Для загрузки доступна универсальная DVD-сборка, размером 4.3 ГБ (x86-64-v2, aarch64, ppc64le, 390x) и урезанный образ для установки с загрузкой пакетов по сети (700 МБ). Обновления для выпусков openSUSE Leap 16.x формируются в течение двух лет (два полных цикла подготовки релизов). Промежуточные выпуски в ветке openSUSE Leap 16, сопровождаемой параллельно с коммерческим дистрибутивом SUSE Linux Enterprise 16, будут формироваться до осени 2031 года - финальным станет выпуск openSUSE L…

Представлен релиз дистрибутива Fedora Linux 45.

Для загрузки подготовлены сборки Fedora Workstation, Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop, Fedora Server, Fedora IoT, Fedora CoreOS, Fedora Cloud Base, Fedora IoT Edition, Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinoite и Live-сборки, поставляемые в форме спинов c пользовательскими окружениями Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE, Phosh, Miracle, LXQt, Budgie, Sway и Cosmic.

Наиболее значимые изменения в Fedora Linux 45: Среда рабочего стола GNOME обновлена до ветки 51, в котором предложены оптимизации для повышения плавности вывода и исключения подвисаний во время анимации и при большой нагрузке на систему.

Компания OpenAI анонсировала проект Pando, в рамках которого разработан новый бэкенд, совместимый с протоколом и инструментарием Git, и уже внедрённый для обслуживания внутреннего монолитного репозитория компании.

Развёрнутый на базе Pando репозиторий в OpenAI обрабатывает около петабайта Git-данных в сутки с пиковыми нагрузками до 57 ТБ данных в час.

В дальнейшем OpenAI планирует использовать Pando не только для классической разработки, но и для координации работы больших групп AI-агентов, совместно модифицирующих общий код в реальном времени.

Исходный код бэкенда Pando, охватывающего серверные компоненты для хранения репозитория и обработки протокола Git, пока не опубликован, но компания …

Компания SUSE объявила о сокращении примерно 190 из 1900 штатных сотрудников. Руководитель компании пояснил, что увольнения продиктованы необходимостью адаптации бизнес-модели и пересмотра организационной структуры с учётом фундаментальных изменений в индустрии, вызванных экспоненциальным развитием возможностей AI и средств автоматизации.

Разработчики дистрибутива Cutefish, развивающего одноимённую среду рабочего стола в стиле macOS, объявили о разработке прослойки Reef для запуска приложений macOS в Linux. Собранные для macOS программы устанавливаются из файлов в формате dmg и интегрируются с основным рабочим столом в Linux.

Noam Chomsky Noam ChomskyChomsky's remarks were in response to Steven Pinker's question about the success of probabilistic models trained with statistical methods.

Statistical models have been proven incapable of learning language; therefore language must be innate, so why are these statistical modelers wasting their time on the wrong enterprise?

Chomsky dismisses all probabilistic models because of shortcomings of a particular 50-year old probabilistic model.

This section has shown that one reason why the vast majority of researchers in computational linguistics use statistical models is an engineering reason: statistical models have state-of-the-art performance, and in most cases non-stat…

Blue Origin has already begun test firing a new engine, called Northstar, that will eventually replace the BE-4 engine that powers the first stage of New Glenn.

A new NorthstarThe Northstar engine is a simplified but more powerful version of the BE-4 engine, Limp said.

Blue Origin believes it can manufacture the engine at 25 percent of the cost of a BE-4 engine, and eventually reach the point where each engine can be assembled in less than a day.

Like the BE-4 engine, Northstar burns methane and liquid oxygen using an oxygen-rich staged combustion cycle and a single-shaft turbopump architecture.

Limp said the company will continue to manufacture the existing BE-4 engine for United Launch Al…

Devices running some configurations of Alpine Linux, and possibly other distributions, are affected by a decade-old vulnerability that allows attackers to log into devices with no password.

The vulnerability exists in the interaction between OpenSSH, the code library implementing SSH connections, and musl, a lightweight alternative to the libc library that, unlike most other Linux distributions, is used in Alpine.

Alpine is a lightweight, widely used Linux distribution.

Passwordless accounts are commonly used for accounts that use certificate-based authentication.

“An attacker who can reach your SSH port can log in without knowing any password,” Alpine maintainers said Thursday.

NASA has announced a new experimental aircraft, the X-70 Fractal, that will supposedly feature reconfigurable flight-control technology and a modular design for swapping in different payloads.

But much remains unknown about the aircraft’s design and development timeline, even as NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said the X-plane could take flight within two years.

The news was announced by Isaacman during the UP.Summit held at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 4.

“The X-70 Fractal gives NASA a crewed, high-performance platform to test advanced flight-control, maneuverability, and other cutting-edge technologies in real flight,” Isaacman said.

Google faced the ire of educators and parents earlier this week when it announced a new AI policy for K–12 schools.

Google said that it developed its new approach to give schools more control, but early reporting also suggested Google would block search access for schools that didn’t want to use AI.

Since the company considers search part of its AI portfolio (Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Search), schools have to specifically turn that on for logged-in student accounts.

Google’s approach may not be entirely altruistic, but it technically offers schools more choice and control than they have now.

Instead of Google turning off search, it will let schools make that decision…

ChatGPT allegedly helped a North Carolina woman, Cheryl Gates, craft a “personalized plan” to poison her husband, James, after fueling her delusions that he planned to divorce her and leave her with nothing.

A grand jury indicted Cheryl Gates on charges of attempted first-degree murder and food contamination in October.

About a week prior, the accusations that ChatGPT was a co-conspirator in the attempted murder came in a lawsuit filed in San Francisco County Superior Court that was made public this week.

At first, Cheryl told ChatGPT that she was researching poisoning out of fear that her husband might possibly try to kill her—framing her queries as “self-protection.” Coming to the rescue,…

BMW provided flights from Washington, DC, to Los Angeles and accommodation so Ars could drive the 2027 i7 as well as the 2027 iX5 and X5.

When BMW debuted the new 7 Series in 2022, it set a new standard for large luxury sedans, increasingly irrelevant though that class is.

Rather than siloing off an electric alternative like Mercedes, with its EQS alongside the normal S-Class, BMW simply made the powertrain an option.

Since then, BMW has brought out a string of even newer electric vehicles for the 5 and 3 Series (plus their SUV counterparts).

The motors are still electrically excited synchronous ones, but now the drive units feature silicon carbide inverters and more compact packaging.

Point spreadsCentral to this work is the concept of a point spread function.

The mathematical description of how a telescope distorts a point of light is called its point spread function.

There are two ways to figure out what the point spread function is.

One is to use the telescope to image a known target and use those observations to derive a mathematical description of the point spread function.

The alternative is to try to model the hardware’s behavior and use that model to derive a point spread function.

Two circuit appeals courts rejected the prediction market’s latest attempts to block state gambling laws in Connecticut, New York, and Nevada.

“Kalshi insists that its products are not gambling,” but “Arkansas law is concerned with substance, not semantics,” Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said yesterday when announcing his lawsuit against Kalshi.

Griffin’s lawsuit was filed in an Arkansas state court.

Kalshi violated state law by offering gambling to people as young as 18 and by failing to pay taxes or comply with other restrictions, Griffin said.

Arkansas law permits gambling within certain limits, such as an age minimum of 21 years old for electronic wagering accounts.

MAHA—which has centered around anti-vaccine activist and current Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—saw many of its favored candidates and allies lose, while vocal adversaries of Kennedy won.

Now hobbled in Washington, shedding supporters, and showing little to no influence in voting booths, is MAHA on its deathbed?

Could it be assimilated into a blue platform—after sloughing off the more repulsive, conspiratorial aspects of Kennedy’s ideology?

She offered three options: Start a third party, join the Democrats, or overthrow the GOP.

Cracking coalitionThat MAHA could fade out entirely or fracture into negligible shards seems like a very real possibility.

While the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI won’t be available on PC this month, some gamers are making ridiculous preparations to use their PC graphics cards to apply Nvidia’s DLSS 5 technology to the console exclusive.

On an explicitly unmoderated GTAVI subreddit, user RevolutionaryBus8208 lays out a proposed setup, which runs a PlayStation 5 through a 4K capture card to a PC.

From there, the video signal is run through Veyra, an open source tool that can apply DLSS 5’s AI-powered “neural rendering” to video content.

To demonstrate the potential of this setup, RevolutionaryBus8208 used Veyra to upscale the Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look trailer posted in August.

Before Tuesday’s election, Republicans held more governorships and state legislative seats than Democrats, along with an advantage in state trifectas—unified control of the governor’s office and both chambers of the legislature.

That advantage has disappeared, clearing the path for more climate and clean energy legislation, according to analysts and advocates.

Going into the election, Republicans had 4,072 seats and Democrats held 3,257, according to MultiState, a research and lobbying firm.

Those additions would give the party 22 trifectas, with Republicans holding unified control in 18 states and nine with split control.

Perplexity has launched its personal AI agents called "teammates," which are designed to be able to tackle ongoing work autonomously with minimal supervision.

The agents work inside Perplexity Computer, the company's cloud-based agentic assistant that can perform multi-step tasks for you.

Teammates work together, and they can even manage other teammates to make sure your tasks are getting done.

They can also bring in more teammates and plan the newcomers' tasks accordingly, the more work you give them.

Teammates work 24/7 in the background and will notify you when you have to make decisions.

The company that owns The New York Times is in "exclusive negotiations" to purchase the cinephile online platform Letterboxd, anonymous sources told...

The New York Times.

The price being discussed is reportedly around $330 million, significantly more than the $250 million figure that was bandied around earlier this year.

However, the Times Company could introduce its own advertising technology into Letterboxd's systems.

(The New York Times Company declined to confirm the New York Times' reporting.)

The company has revealed that it's developing a new kind of AI agent, which will be designed to serve as a travel agent of sorts, in its letter for shareholders that it released with its Q3 2026 earnings.

Airbnb said it's building a brand new interface that offers a custom AI experience that "builds the interface around your question."

Its upcoming experience will populate an interface, presumably within the Airbnb app, with various elements relevant to your inquiry.

The AI travel agent will be able to add maps, photos and even itineraries and comparisons to the interface in real time.

In addition to revealing its plans for a new AI experience, Airbnb has also discussed it newly released AI…

Blue Origin made waves earlier this year after a New Glenn rocket exploded on its launchpad in May 2026.

Shortly after the incident, Blue Origin's CEO claimed that the repairs would be finished quickly and that the next launch would occur before the end of the year.

The next rocket launch is now not expected until January 2027.

Blue Origin won a contract from NASA in September to set up a telecommunications network for Mars.

Its New Glenn rockets are also slated to bring more gear into space to support Amazon's Leo satellite broadband service.

If you own a Bose S1 Pro or S1 Pro+, we have some good news and some bad news.

The affected packs can overheat and ignite, risking fire and burn injuries, so stop using yours right away if it's affected.

The S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ are Bose's portable PA speakers, designed for parties, gigs and the like.

The speakers have a built-in mixer, support Bluetooth streaming and can go mobile using the removable battery pack.

The S1 Pro+ supports a wireless mic and instrument transmitter, a separate $159 purchase.

If you'd prefer to stay in Google's ecosystem, you can either switch to Google AI Studio or Antigravity.

Google AI Studio is "the fastest path from prompt to full-stack production app," according to Google, which means its interface prioritizes prompts and chatting with AI.

Like Firebase Studio, it's also web-based, so you can access it from any browser.

Most other coding tools tend to follow a similar logic, where the coder is a team leader for agents that handle the first pass.

Which tools developers migrate to after Firebase Studio shuts down will likely be determined as much by price as by the interface and each tool's future.

BioWare is no more after Electronic Arts shut down the storied studio last month.

A documentary called Massive Effect: The BioWare Story is in the works, as Deadline reported, and it's expected to arrive next year.

The movie will cover the 31-year history of BioWare, with founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk and Augustine Yip all making appearances.

Fans have also been campaigning to save Mass Effect, including by petitioning the Canadian government to help former BioWare workers buy the studio.

Bloomberg reported that, rather than fund the full development of Mass Effect 5, EA opted to put its resources into making Star Wars Battlefront 3, which has not been formally revealed.

TikTok just released a standalone TikTok Shop app for iOS and Android, which was first spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra.

The app is currently available in several regions throughout the world, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.

Shopping is a huge part of the TikTok experience, so this kind of expansion makes sense.

🚨 TikTok has launched a standalone TikTok Shop app!

Remember, the American TikTok is a different company than the global TikTok.

The Xbox app for PC is about to get a little faster.

Microsoft updated the app for Xbox Insiders on Thursday with performance and navigation improvements, presumably ahead of a full release.

The company says the Xbox PC app now launches up to 60 percent faster in the update, so you can dive into your games with less of a wait.

Separately, Microsoft says the refreshed Xbox web experience the company previewed in January will soon roll out to more players automatically.

The company is also rolling out a similar redesign to its Xbox cloud gaming apps for TVs and VR headsets.

Warby Parker appears to have gotten ahead of Google and revealed when the company's new take on smart glasses will be available to pre-order.

According to Warby Parker's third quarter earnings release, the brand's Intelligent Eyewear collection will open for orders on November 12.

Warby Parker hasn't given any indication of what these smart glasses will cost, but interested customers can already sign up for time slots to demo the glasses in-store.

Gentle Monster, one of Google's other smart glasses partners, will also sell Intelligent Eyewear, but it hasn't shared when they'll be available outside of a vague fall window.

The flight agency announced today that it is modernizing some air traffic control systems that have to date been running on floppy disks.

You read that right: floppy disks.

For those of you too young to remember, floppy disks were precursors to CDs as a means of storing and running digital data, particularly computer files and programs.

Unsurprisingly, the bulletin from the agency says the coming upgrades will give air traffic controllers faster access to information, reduce repair expenses and improve safety for public air travel.

The Japanese government announced in 2024 that it had phased out all but one of its systems that still relied on floppy disks.

Google, Meta and TikTok are suing to block a recent California law that's intended to protect kids from some of the more harmful aspects of social media, according to Reuters.

Assembly Bill 1709 is part of a larger package that Governor Gavin Newsom introduced earlier this year and it prohibits social media platforms from offering underage kids "psychologically exploitative features" that could lead to compulsive use.

Newsom said when he signed the law that children's safety should always come first when considering social media platforms in California.

Some organizations agree with the social media companies here.

Also, Meta recently agreed to pay up to $18 billion to settle a high-profile…

World Liberty didn’t say how much it plans to spend.

In World Liberty Financial’s case, a buyback more or less means trying to patch a gigantic leak in WLFI’s side by pouring cash into it.

But the electoral results pose specific problems for World Liberty Financial that stretch beyond the economic.

Cinephile community Letterboxd is reportedly in advanced acquisition talks with the New York Times Company, which was previously said to be competing with Sony and A24 to buy the site.

That reporting comes courtesy of the Times itself, which reported on Thursday that paper’s company is mulling a bid that could cost up to $330 million.

That’s approximately 22 times Letterboxd’s current annual revenue of $15 million, a very high valuation multiplier that’s more common in flashy tech deals.

IndieWire reported that A24 “was also in late-stage talks” with similar promises of retaining the co-founders, but that offer apparently fell through.

The NYT Company didn’t return Gizmodo’s request for com…

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the creation of the Super Intelligence (SI) Task Force (DOJ-SITF) on Thursday.

The unit is tasked with making sure U.S. artificial intelligence technology is not compromised, or misused by foreign actors or fraudsters.

It serves as a reminder of President Donald Trump’s desperate attempt to rebrand AI as SI.

There’s no denying that they will need him if they want to continue to get massive government contracts.

The second these guys don’t need Trump anymore, there’s no reason to call it superintelligence.

A North Carolina couple is suing Google, claiming that the Gemini AI installed on a school-issued Chromebook laptop helped their 13-year-old daughter plan her suicide attempt.

Google also claims that it provides age-appropriate AI literacy resources and prompts minors to double-check AI information.

The executives also “cut critical corners, sacrificing safety in favor of power and speed” while releasing the Gemini 3 Flash model, the lawsuit claims.

Another recent risk assessment, this time by Common Sense Media, also gave Google’s Search AI functions an “unacceptable risk” rating for kids and teens.

The lawsuit echoes similar claims brought against Google competitor OpenAI in a wrongful de…

The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.5%, or an estimated $2.5 trillion in market value, on Thursday.

The index descended into correction territory after weak earnings reports in the AI sector and a blue tsunami in the 2026 midterm elections on Tuesday set off a tech stock rout, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Traders who had made highly leveraged bets, or wagered the pullback in AI stocks wouldn’t continue, got crushed.

Congress has sweeping investigative powers, and AI firms’ relationship to the White House will almost certainly be a topic of scrutiny for Democrats.

An overall vibe shift on AI could also see customers and investors looking at least somewhat more skeptically at AI hype.

I’ll even prefer the English dub for the slang in shows like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and gut-busting romcoms like You and I Are Polar Opposites.

Sometimes, a “bad” dub, like the one in Ghost Stories, is the best thing an anime has going for it.

But I never expected to be watching a milquetoast isekai like Overgeared solely because its English dub is pretty funny.

On a lark, I came across a TikTok of Overgeared‘s English dub and watched it to see how its jokes landed with me compared to the mostly forced humor in the sub.

Which just goes to show that a funny English dub can make any anime worth watching.

Keanu Reeves is returning as John Wick, but maybe not exactly as you expected.

Lionsgate just greenlit a previously teased John Wick animated prequel, which Reeves will produce and lend his voice to.

“It has always been a huge influence on me, especially with the John Wick series.

To have the opportunity to develop a John Wick anime seems to be the perfect progression for the John Wick world.

We’re hoping this film, though, adding further drama to John Wick‘s origins, will be even better.

“Gods Don’t Give Gifts” is the latest production of the YouTube-to-cinema pipeline, and it’s a largely AI-generated effort from YouTuber Gossip Goblin.

The film is set to hit theaters later this year, and it is leaning hard into the AI-adjacent hype bubble.

Grimes or no, it seems the plan for “Gods Don’t Give Gifts” is to figure out whether it’s possible to get audiences to actually care about AI movies.

So far, audiences haven’t shown much enthusiasm for AI-generated films.

They hired real actors, shot with real cameras on real sets, employed real costume artists, prop teams, set dressers.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost 2027 and the FAA is still using floppy disks in its air traffic control operations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Thursday that it has begun phasing out floppy disks used in air traffic control operations.

And outdated technology isn’t the only challenge facing the country’s air traffic control system.

The FAA is simultaneously working to boost hiring amid a global shortage of air traffic controllers.

So while finally moving beyond floppy disks is a good start, the FAA still has a long way to go before its air traffic control system is fully modernized and staffed.

The video describes a technique that can reveal where an otherwise unidentifiable recording was made by analyzing its audio for the faint sounds of passing aircraft.

It works by looking at Doppler curves, which plot the way a plane’s sound changes as it passes overhead because of the Doppler effect.

Early in his video, Colsto brings up a map of the flights that were in the air at the time the video he’s tracing was recorded.

But with a recording containing the right aircraft sounds, and some information about when or where it was made, the technique offers a surprisingly powerful way to narrow down its location.

It’s another reminder that even the background noise in a video can reveal …

Samsung’s next fitness tracker might be able to pay for your post-run coffee.

According to screenshots spotted by Sammobile, the company is working on a follow-up to its Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker, and, unlike Google’s recently announced Fitbit Edge, it could support NFC and contactless payments.

These new details are the first indication that the fitness tracker could be more ambitious than Samsung’s last model.

Google’s Fitbit Edge represents a sort of middle ground between its more premium Pixel Watch 5 and the streamlined and affordable Fitbit Air.

In that way it’s a bit of a reinvention of the Fitbit Charge, the brand’s old midrange fitness tracker.

The company’s recent IPO filing didn’t even mention the possibility of selling ads to make money from the AI chatbot.

The chatbot industry, though, may find selling ads necessary to defray the high costs of generating AI responses.

But some advertisers, such as drugmakers, face government requirements on what they must—or cannot—say in ads, Baird says.

These companies default to more human control over their ads, generating weaker results, according to Baird.

For instance, ads for spas have performed well within Koah’s network when shown after users’ prompts related to “stress,” he says.

According to the Reddit cofounder, building social media apps is “not cool anymore” and so much of the internet has been compromised.

“I'm expecting some better version of the group chat to be that new version of UGC,” Ohanian told WIRED senior correspondent Lauren Goode at the inaugural WIRED World Fair.

Reddit shares plunged 29 percent last week after the platform warned that Google’s AI-powered search was hurting referral traffic.

Reddit recently said it would require users to sign in to fight third-party scraping and keep up user engagement.

“There is still a very real chance that this technology can cause a lot of harm for sure,” he said.

When The Onion made a bid to buy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars two years ago, Donald Trump had just won his second presidential election—and, for many, things were looking dark.

“You guys remember ... how fucking hopeless we felt?” Onion CEO Ben Collins asked an audience at the WIRED World Fair in Miami Wednesday.

At the time, he asked his partner, researcher and journalist Kat Abughazaleh, if she was up for walking “into a fucking burning building” by trying to take over Jones’ media empire.

“I want people to feel hope today because things changed last night,” he said.

Yes, we're trying to pull off The Onion Bowl.”

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…

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…

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.

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.

Bullhound Capital led the oversubscribed round, with AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, SBI Group, Hudson River Trading and the British Business Bank joining, the company said.

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.

Starting this year, Apple has exclusive streaming rights for Formula 1 racing in the United States, which sees every race stream on Apple TV.

Both Apple and the league have proudly reported a very positive response in terms of viewership and subscriber acquisition, although they do not publish exact viewing figures.

However, it seems the league is open to striking more deals with Apple in certain markets.

Apple to seek $7 billion in bond saleOver the past week, several Big Tech companies have turned to the bond market to raise billions of dollars amid growing investments in AI infrastructure.

Apple выкатила беты iOS 27.3 и watchOS 27.3, и там для меня два интересных куска: часы Series 12 и Ultra 4 получили Siri Recap (краткая выжимка из прошедшего разговора, как у Otter), которая сворачивает услышанный разговор в список тезисов, и Live Rewind, показывающий расшифровку последних 15 секунд. Причем, акцент сделан на то, что звук и обработка не покидают вашу железку, работает прямо на телефоне и часах - а это кмк идеально.

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

NYT пишут, что американские датацентры начали переделывать старые реактивные двигатели в генераторы. Двигатели в буквальном смысле собирают со списанных самолетов, и они, конечно, совсем не экологичные, часть из этих движков не запускались уже по 30 лет. Вот тут все еще настоящее бутылочное горлышко ИИ. Не чипы и не деньги, а обычное электричество и очередь к сетевой инфраструктуре. Когда люди готовы ставить рядом с датацентром старый грязный авиадвигатель, лишь бы не ждать годами подклюения к сети.

Apple отчитались за Q4, и это первый звонок с инвесторами для Джона Тернуса (aka 1982.Terminus, потому что в имени андроидов должны быть цифры) в роли CEO. Выручка $114,48 млрд при ожиданиях $113,35 млрд. iPhone принес рекордные для сентябрьского квартала $57,58 млрд, хотя iPhone 18 Pro Max продавался всего несколько недель. Сервисы, т.е. App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud и т.п., выросли почти на 10% до $31,57 млрд, это исторический максимум.

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

Путин обязал владельцев негосударственных дата-центров держать в резерве 10% мощностей для российской IT-инфраструктуры и предоставлять их в течение 24 часов после решения комиссии.

По пересказу Настоящего Времени, услуги платные с ограничением тарифа, а пока мощности никто не востребовал, ими можно пользоваться самому.

Ранее Verizon, T-Mobile и AT&T отказались предоставить SpaceX доступ к своим сетям.Понятно зачем, это дало бы Маску возможность воплотить свою мечту и запустить собственный мобильный сервис.
