Если мы взглянем на все целые числа, а не на одни простые, то увидим очень похожие спирали.

Функция ЭйлераРазумеется, это не гарантирует, что в каждой конкретной кривой будут находиться простые числа, но если взглянуть на изображение, то можно увидеть, что в этих оставшихся классах простые числа распределены довольно равномерно.

За исключением числа 2, простые числа не могут иметь в последнем разряде чётную цифру, иначе бы они были чётными.

2D-график вызвал у нас вопросы наподобие: «Почему здесь есть спирали?» и «Почему в некоторых рукавах простые числа отсутствуют?».

Идея заключается в том, чтобы записывать все числа в сетке, начиная от центра и по спирали, обводя при этом все простые.

В силу санкционных неурядиц Китая и невозможности использования GPU в необходимых объемах, страна выбрала свой вектор в этой сфере.

Китай заявляет о 2 EFLOPS для LineShine — и это основная цифра, вокруг которой вертится вся дискуссия о новом суперкомпьютере.

GPU в то время жил в отдельном мире графики, игр, рендера.

GPU в таких задачах теряет преимущество: большинство его ядер простаивает, пока часть ждет данных из памяти.

Сделать это в условиях, когда доступ к передовым ускорителям закрыт, а весь мировой HPC движется в противоположную сторону, — отдельная история.

Но мобильное приложение может быть строже: оно заранее знает отпечаток сертификата сервера Xiaomi и проверяет именно его.

При этом всевозможных конфигураций просто масса — предлагаются устройства с тачскрином и без, с IPS и TN-матрицами, с поддержкой LTE и 5G, и даже с выбором операционной системы — Android или KaiOS.

Но до сегодняшнего дня, производительный кнопочный смартфон с IPS-матрицей стоил около 7-10 тысяч рублей, что было дороговато.

Однако недавно, некий китайский бренд Rongyue представил смартфон E5 — с поддержкой 5G, мощным 8-и ядерным чипсетом, 3.5" IPS-матрицей и ценой всего в 2.800 рублей.

А на своём YouTube канале, я рассказал о Miwang Mi2S — кнопочном смартфоне 2017 года выпуска с сочной и качественной IPS-матрицей и весьма мощным чипсетом от Qualcomm.

Что-ж... Спешу разочаровать: ты не стал умнее, ты просто доказал что разницы между вопрос к тебе и вопросом к ИИ больше нет.

Если вдруг еще не дошло, вот что ты ответил: "Отличный вопрос!

Ключевые соображения — при оценке этого вопроса следует иметь в виду, что, я уверен, тебе это и в голову не приходило.

То, что ты прислал вместо этого, говорит: "Мне было лень прочитать твой вопрос достаточно внимательно, чтобы ответить по-настоящему, так вот что мне нагадал чат-бот.

Экосистема LangGraph и откуда возьмется REST APIЯ уже писал про LangChain, но до сегодняшнего момента за кадром оставалась «главная троица» инструментов, без которых архитектура будет неполной: LangGraph Server, LangSmith и SDK.

Это не баг и не ошибка конфигурации.

Модель читает описание и названия аргументов и на их основе решает, стоит вызвать инструмент или нет.

Общение между FastAPI и LangGraph Server происходит через LangGraph SDK — тот самый Python-клиент, который мы разбирали в теории.

Подняли LangGraph Server через CLI, написали графы с реальными инструментами и MCP-серверами, потестировали все через LangGraph Studio.

Стекло — молибденовой группы [2]Лампа работает так: нагретый током подогреватель (платиновый, чтобы он мог работать и при атмосферном давлении) часть тепла через металлическую перемычку передаёт термопаре, та вырабатывает ЭДС (электродвижущую силу).

Новые запаянные лампы (с неиспарившимся тёмным газопоглотителем в носике) до такого давления уже откачаны, их следует калибровать, не вскрывая.

Существуют и другие, самодельные приборы и схемы для работы с ПМТ-2, например, на основе Arduino с модулем АЦП.

Схему можно несколько упростить, обойдясь без блока №3, тогда 10 мВ термопары дадут 1 В на вольтметре, и 100 мА через подогреватель — тот же 1 В показаний.

Исследователи Westlake University разработали тест на определение рака лёгких на ранних стадиях, который в 10 000 раз точнее стандартного метода ELISA и не занимает места как слон, — сообщает South China Morning Post.

Последний улавливает мельчайшие изменения в свете, возникающие при наличии наночастиц рака в крови.

Однако ещё больше авторы теста гордятся тем, насколько серьёзно они смогли уменьшить размеры аппарата.

Сотрудники подразделения Device Solutions, которые работают над чипами памяти и полупроводниками, были недовольны своими зарплатами и в итоге получили сотни тысяч долларов компенсации на человека.

Теперь вопросом «Где деньги?» задаются их коллеги, производящие технику Samsung, включая смартфоны.

Огромные бонусы от сверхприбыли достались также подразделениям Foundry и System LSI, которые производят и разрабатывают системы-на-чипах.

Если они начнут бастовать, то выпуск Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8 и его более широкого собрата Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide может задержаться.

Сейчас их судьба зависит от того, захотят ли главы Samsung урегулировать дело мирно и поднять людям зарплаты.

В США прошли так называемые Enhanced Games, или «Стероидные игры», — альтернатива классической Олимпиаде, где разрешён допинг и запрещённые в спорте технологии.

Голомеев участием в «Стероидных играх» доволен и не считает состязания «цирком, построенным вокруг лёгких путей» — именно так их назвали представители Международной федерации плавания.

Вообще, на месте Голомеева странно было бы грустить: за рекорд он получил $1,25 млн.

Кстати, ведущими соревнований были не спортивные комментаторы, а популяризаторы науки будущего и спорта.

Зная это, ожидать чего-то научного и спортивного от этих игр не приходится.

Фитнес-браслеты уже получили первые заказавшие, после чего побежали жаловаться на Reddit, так как устройство просто не подключается к смартфону.

Дело в том, что Google просто не успела развернуть обновление Google Health 5.0 для смартфонов на Android.

Об этом сообщил представитель компании, который пришёл успокаивать недовольных покупателей.

Забавно, что для iOS апдейт доступен несколько дней кряду.

Неужто Google снова предпочла противоположный лагерь пользователей своему?

Несмотря на миллиардные доходы и первенство в индустрии, носимые устройства Apple могут потерять свои позиции, — переживает колумнист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

Он выделяет две проблемы, которые тихой сапой отжирают продажи Apple Watch: отсутствие значительных инноваций и изменяющиеся предпочтения потребителей.

Относительно первой мы можем лишь уповать на нового гендира Apple — Джона Тернуса.

Apple удалила 1213 приложений из российского App Store по требованию правительственных органов РФ.

Всего в мире по запросам правительств разных стран Apple удалила 2045 приложений, и больше половины пришлось на Россию.

В другие рейтинги топ-10 мы не попали: ни по обжалованию удалений, ни по восстановлению удалённых аппок.

В основном удаляли приложения из категорий «Утилиты» и «Игры» — по 30 тысяч в каждой категории.

Более 90 тысяч приложений удаляли из-за того, что через них работали мошенники.

Apple возвращается к имиджевым устройствам и собирается превратить юбилейный iPhone в произведение искусства, — сообщил инсайдер Джон Проссер с канала Front Page Tech.

Apple откажется от физически вдавливаемых кнопок в пользу Force Touch, как на кнопке «Домой» в iPhone 7, где для имитации щелчков и эффекта «продавливания» использовались специальные вибромоторчики.

Проссер считает, что горизонтальное плато с камерами, дебютировавшее вместе с iPhone Air, станет фирменной фишкой складного iPhone Ultra и затем превратится в визитную карточку уже iPhone 20.

Телевику на горизонтальном плато места не нашлось, что странно: едва ли владельцы «Прошек» захотят пересаживаться на смартфон без телевика.

Пользователь с ником Toikka оставил Pixel Watch 3 с металлическим ремешком возле беспроводной зарядки контроллера Steam.

Сами часы при этом тоже стояли на зарядке, так что металлический ремешок примагнитился к зарядной шайбе и устроил короткое замыкание.

Строго говоря, Valve не виновата: в инструкции к геймпаду компания прямым текстом просит держать зарядку подальше от металлических предметов.

Valve также рекомендует не размещать возле зарядки Steam Controller чувствительные к магнитному полю устройства, включая медицинские приборы и банковские карты, чтобы избежать их повреждения и потери данных.

Так что будьте бдительны и на всякий случай приберитесь на столе — бережёного бог бережёт.

Двенадцатый тестовый полёт Starship стал особенным: в этот раз SpaceX запустила в космос де-факто новую ракету с переработанной ступенью Super Heavy V3 и новыми двигателями Raptor 3.

Новенький Starship успешно стартовал с площадки Starbase в Техасе и благополучно добрался до орбиты, где развернул 22 тестовых макета спутников Starlink и затем вернулся обратно на Землю.

Войдя в атмосферу планеты, корабль отработал программу манёвров, по которым будут сажать следующие «Старшипы», и успешно приводнился в Индийском океане по заранее заданным координатам.

А потом стильно сдетонировал — SpaceX явно не хочет буксировать отработанные прототипы обратно в США и предпочитает отправлять их прямиком на д…

Да, мы уже писали, как в такой же ситуации освистали бывшего гендира Google.

И если Эрик Шмидт выступал за ИИ, то Стив Возняк решил напомнить, что настоящие мозги всё ещё круче ИИшки:У вас уже есть ИИ — ваш настоящий интеллект.

Он работал в такой компании и по опыту знает, что отдельно на это обычно «уходит девять месяцев».

В общем, сказал молодым американцам то, что те хотели бы услышать: человеческие мозги всё ещё нужны, на хрен этот ваш ИИ.

В недавнем интервью он говорил, что использует нейронки нечасто и в основном разочарован их работой: они либо не выдают нужную информацию, либо генерируют сухой и вылизанный текст.

Как пишет инсайдер Digital Chat Station, Apple уже тестирует айфон, у которого будут четыре скруглённые грани дисплея.

Компания настолько мощно задоминировала мировой чарт продаж, что впервые с 2023 года вернула себе долю в 21 % рынка, продемонстрировав рост на 9 % по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года.

Но в этот раз компания впервые за долгое время надломила устоявшийся тренд и смогла вырваться вперёд в первом квартале, сравняв свою долю рынка с Samsung и обойдя сразу Xiaomi и vivo, вместе взятых.

К концу 2025 года в России насчитывалось 15,2 млн самозанятых — на 25% больше, чем годом ранее.

По итогам 2025 года самозанятые в России заработали чуть более 3 трлн рублей — на 38,6% больше, чем в 2024 году.

В начале года услуги в этих категориях подорожали: стоимость телеком-сервисов выросла на 1,85%, зарубежный туризм — на 2,36%, а фитнес — сразу на 8,5%.

Подписки в среднем остались на прежнем уровне, однако старшие зумеры увеличили траты на цифровые сервисы на 12,5%.

Потребители 35–64 лет в начале 2026 года стали больше тратить на медицину и телеком-услуги.

Совокупная выручка российского ИТ-сектора впервые за несколько лет сократилась — сразу на 60 млрд рублей, до 7,94 трлн рублей, сообщает «Коммерсант» со ссылкой на данные «Контур.Фокуса» и «Контур.Эгиды».

В 2022–2024 годах отрасль росла в среднем на 22,5% в год.

Число ИТ-компаний при этом продолжает увеличиваться — участники рынка объясняют рост дроблением средних компаний и созданием ИИ-стартапов.

По словам Дмитрия Харитонова, поэтапное введение НДС заставит часть небольших компаний объединится с крупными игроками, а остальных — уйти с рынка.

При этом рост к предыдущему году составил всего 2% — 35,7 млрд рублей.

В ответ на недавние угрозы разработчику, вернувшему возможность прямой печати на 3D-принтерах Bambu Lab без использования проприетарного приложения Bambu Connect, правозащитная организация Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) объявила о проведении расследования возможных нарушений свободных лицензий в ПО и прошивках компании Bambu Lab, Помимо этого, запущена инициатива по отстаиванию права самостоятельно проводить ремонт, в рамках которой началась работа по обратному инжинирингу проприетарных библиотек Bambu Lab и создан независимый форк платформы Bambu Studio.

На конференции Open-Source Summit 2026 во вступительной беседе Линус Торвальдс рассказал о тенденциях в использовании AI-инструментов при разработке ядра Linux. По словам Линуса за последние шесть месяцев значительно увеличился объём коммитов. Например, при формировании последних двух релизов ядра внесено примерно на 20% больше коммитов, чем в ранее выпускавшихся ветках. Изменение объясняется тем, что за последние несколько месяцев AI-инструменты доросли до уровня качества, приемлемого для многих разработчиков, и теперь наблюдается явный рост применения AI практически по всем направлениям разработки.

А как ИИ тут помог?

Из новости непонятно - эти дорожки что ли аппаратно логику микрокода реализуют?

I mentioned that the first part had already been done but that turning the image into a binary blob and a binary blob into intelligible microcode seemed too hard.

Well, they may have taken that as a bit of a challenge - they threw various bits of image processing, neural networks, and human-aided automation at the problem and a few days later had the binary blob extracted from the image and cross-checked Т.е.

Компания Anthropic подвела первые итоги тестирование предварительного варианта AI-модели Mythos, в которой были существенно расширены возможности по поиску ошибок, выявлению уязвимостей и написанию готовых эксплоитов. Компания Anthropic при помощи AI-модели Mythos провела сканирование более тысячи важных открытых проектов, в ходе которого было выявлено 23019 уязвимостей. 6202 уязвимостям был назначен высокий или критический уровень опасности.

После нескольких лет работы и нескольких месяцев бета-тестирования представлен официальный магазин-каталог ассетов и плагинов для движка Godot - Godot Asset Store, который пришёл на смену библиотеке ассетов (Asset Library). Новый каталог примечателен полной интеграцией с движком Godot и его поддержка уже добавлена в ветку Godot 4.7, находящуюся на стадии бета тестирования. В каталоге пока поддерживается размещение только бесплатных ассетов, поддержку размещения платных продуктов и систему донатов обещают добавить позднее.

A truly bizarre situation on Motorola phones has led to the software hijacking the Amazon app to inject an affiliate code – even on the $1,900 Razr Fold.

An app update on Motorola phones has started hijacking the Amazon app for the sake of injecting an affiliate code.

To do that, tapping the app icon opens the user’s browser and immediately redirects to the Amazon app.

This only happens when the user opens the Amazon app from the app drawer – not the homescreen pages.

In the meantime, you should definitely disable the Smart Feed app to prevent this behavior on your device.

Fast-forward a decade and this dream has mostly evaporated along with many of the players in the space.

These fully integrated solutions generally worked reasonably well, but what all changed when the IoT and ‘smart home’ craze kicked off and brought with it an explosion of new standards.

As raised in the video, a big issue is that of the financial viability of running the remote services for a smart home solution, even if this is the part that should make it as plug-and-play as a 1990s-era smart home solution.

To the average user setting up their own locally hosted smart home solution isn’t really a straightforward option.

To dismiss this entire problem as a "skill issue" and imply all is good now because an external library solved an issue that React will allow you to do is very curious to me.

[...] You would think you can come back to a technology after three years and still be able to work on it - I mean, how much can it change?

In any other stack, that might be true, but in frontend development, and React especially so - it's too naive to think that.

As Spear reached in, however, he scraped his arm on some metal, drawing blood.

But, in the hours that followed, Spear’s arm began to turn violent shades of purple and red.

When V. vulnificus enters a wound, it damages blood vessels, causing them to leak plasma into surrounding tissues.

Spear was flown to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center, in Baltimore.

Antibiotics on their own are of limited use against a V. vulnificus infection.

The most productive of these ideas for me so far has been the Manufactured Normalcy Field.

What we should do instead is try to normalize the new technology by figuring out the smallest stretch needed to get the Manufactured Normalcy Field to encompass it.

So, I came to FOO with this broad structure in mind for a brainstorming session based on Rao’s Manufactured Normalcy Field.

Despite my trepidation, I reserved a session time: “Designing for and Against the Manufactured Normalcy Field”.

Through the first nine months of 2023, sales in the “computer book” category at Circana BookScan (the industry’s standard tracker, which costs roughly the price of a small used car to subscribe to) were down 16.9% year over year.

The chatbots have eaten the demand for the kinds of answers that programming books used to provide.

The programming book was, when you look at it squarely, always a slightly absurd object.

What the book was good at, despite being the wrong format, was forcing both the writer and the reader to be slow.

With the co-founder of Anthropic at his side today in Rome, Pope Leo XIV released a major new encyclical—his first—called “Magnifica Humanitas” (“Magnificent Humanity”).

It calls for AI to be “disarmed” in service of the common good.

That is why, despite releasing it today, Leo actually signed the encyclical on May 15, the anniversary of a famous 1891 encyclical called “Rerum Novarum” (“New Things”).

That older document set out Catholic social teaching during an era of capitalist upheaval, largely taking the side of workers and labor unions.

He is clear-eyed about the sway that technological elites hold today, comparing them to colonial conquerors.

Last week, the US government announced $2 billion in investments in quantum computing companies, allocating $100 million each to a range of startups in exchange for equity in the companies.

Those could be make-or-break investments for many companies that are likely years away from a product that could see widespread use.

In addition, Lofgren says the money was allocated to foster public/private research partnerships, which these deals most decidedly are not.

None of this, she noted, means that quantum processing technology is a bad investment or that any of these companies are unworthy of support.

She just argues that doing so would require Congress to allocate the money to do so.

Looking at the mirrorSo what is this test, exactly, and what is it supposed to tell us?

The procedure is this: While the animal isn’t looking, researchers place a mark on a spot it can only see via a reflection.

A mirror is then put in front of the animal while the researchers watch.

If the animal touches or examines the mark while looking at its reflection, it comprehends that the figure in the mirror is itself.

Why is this a test of self-awareness in the first place?

For migrant workers trapped onboard Chinese distant water fishing fleets, cutting the fins off sharks as they writhe violently on rusted decks in the Indian Ocean isn’t accidental.

Shark populations have declined by more than 70 percent since 1970, with more than one-third of all shark and ray species now threatened with extinction.

Each year, however, an estimated 80 million are caught and killed either intentionally or as bycatch.

While botched sharks sink slowly to their deaths, the rate of shark finning has increased in recent decades.

Demand is largely driven by a growing demand for shark fin soup and traditional medicinal cures in East and Southeast Asia.

At least four Russian military satellites changed their orbits to match that of a Finnish-American radar surveillance satellite in the last week, raising questions about Russia’s intentions amid an ever-expanding standoff high above Earth.

Over the last week or so, the four satellites adjusted their inclinations—the angles of their orbits to the equator—by less than a degree.

The upshot is that these four Russian satellites are now positioned to routinely pass near a commercial radar surveillance satellite operated by the Finnish-American company ICEYE.

This imaging platform, named ICEYE-X36, is part of a fleet of satellites providing all-weather overhead radar images to the US military and…

The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15.

And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.”A revised WHO assessment has moved the risk level from “high” to “very high” at the national level, while risk remains “high” at the regional level and “low” at the global level, Tedros added.

Pilots’ voices from the last seconds of a fatal cargo plane crash have been re-created by Internet sleuths using software and AI tools.

Nearly four years after Sennheiser debuted its Momentum 4 headphones, the company is back with their successor.

The company is promising big upgrades to both sound and active noise cancellation (ANC), but there are a few caveats on the spec sheet.

The main one being the Momentum 5 is $50 more than the Momentum 4.

The Momentum 5 uses the same 42mm transducers that are in the Momentum 4, which were inspired by Sennheiser's iconic HD 600 series headphones, tuned for "full-bodied sound" and "dynamic bass."

The Momentum 5 is also compatible with the company's BTD 700 lossless Bluetooth dongle that debuted with the HDB 630 headphones.

But with Ferrari, the sound has always been a crucial part of the experience.

Rather than creating a wholly synthesized sound, like Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N, for example, the Luce actually has a sort of acoustic pickup mounted on the rear axle.

Ferrari likens the process to an amp for an electric guitar, pointing to this being the next evolution beyond analog motoring.

Ferrari has not yet set U.S. pricing, but in its home market of Italy it will carry a starting price of €550,000.

That's quite an ask, but then most of LoveFrom's prior designs have carried quite a premium, so why shouldn't this?

During the Rocket League Paris Major, Epic Games debuted a short teaser trailer for a redesigned Rocket League.

Surprisingly, Epic Games didn't go with Fortnite to show off a first look at its next-gen game engine, but it's still the first time the company showed any in-game footage built with Unreal Engine 6.

Epic Games didn't specify what upgrades Unreal Engine 6 would bring to Rocket League, but we can see some cosmetic upgrades like the improved reflections on the cars, which also look more detailed.

For Rocket League, the jump to Unreal Engine 6 is a big leap considering it still runs on the third version of Epic Games' game engine.

But, we don't have a release timeline for Unreal Engi…

Huawei has made a bold claim that it can manufacture its own semiconductor chips that are just as good as the competition thanks to a new breakthrough.

If achieved, this development for Huawei would be a major deal since it's been subject to continually expanding US trade sanctions going back to 2019.

The restrictions have held Huawei back behind the competition, as it doesn't allow access to specialized equipment that other companies are using to achieve that 1.4nm level.

While Huawei would be five years behind the leading company, it could offer a more cost-effective solution.

Currently, China's biggest semiconductor manufacturer, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp offers chip…

Star Citizen has now raked in over $1 billion in funding from more than 6.5 million people.

Star Citizen first emerged in 2012 with a Kickstarter campaign that had a relatively modest target of $500,000.

Developer Cloud Imperium Games smashed that goal as backers ponied up over $2.1 million (a separate campaign at the time pulled in $4.1 million).

By the time Star Citizen was released in early access in 2017, the studio had raised over $170 million.

Cloud Imperium has not yet announced a firm release date for that game either.

Tether announced it will launch a cryptocurrency called GELT that's tied to the official currency of the country of Georgia.

Unlike most cryptocurrency, stablecoins are tied to a currency that's officially issued by a government.

In this case, GELT will be tied to the Georgian Lari and has support from the Georgian government.

According to Tether, the GELT will be a "digital representation of the Georgian Lari" that allows for "lower transaction costs, near-instant settlement, programmable payments" and more.

As for GELT, Tether said more details on the stablecoin's structure, rollout and implementation will be announced later.

Pope Leo XIV has taken a stronger stand against AI.

"These systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence.

In doing so, they often surpass human intelligence in speed and computational capacity, offering tangible benefits across many fields," Pope Leo stated.

Leo warned that such technology — and any profits that come with it — shouldn't be used to justify systematic job loss.

Pope Leo's remarks weren't made against AI as a whole, stating that it shouldn't be seen "as a force antagonistic to humanity."

I almost don't want to call Meshchera a match-three game because I fear that kind of undersells how captivating it is.

The Trump administration is planning to automatically install its White House app on government employees' work phones, according to a report from Government Executive.

The Trump administration released the White House app two months ago, with the promise of offering "unfiltered, real-time upgrades straight from the source."

However, the White House app could provide for privacy risks instead, according to some cybersecurity experts.

Rhode Island is the latest state to challenge prediction markets on the legality of sports betting within its jurisdiction.

As reported by The Providence Journal, opposing lawsuits from the state's attorney general, Peter Neronha, and Kalshi were filed against each other earlier this week.

Still, Rhode Island's attorney general is looking for a permanent court-ordered ban that prevents Kalshi and Polymarket from offering "sports-related events contract" in the state.

While the dual lawsuits only cover the legality in Rhode Island, its eventual ruling could create a major precedent on how prediction markets operate in other states.

More recently, Minnesota passed a bill that includes a ban o…

The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust released a statement this weekend condemning the unauthorized use of the photographer's name and work for the creation of an "AI-generated color version" of Adams' "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico."

According to the trust, the piece was up for sale last month at the Association of International Photography Art Dealers' (AIPAD) The Photography Show.

Interestingly, the trust didn't take issue with the involvement of AI, noting that Adams "was remarkably prescient about—and excited by—the potential of computers to transform photography."

The issue is that the exhibitor allegedly just straight up ripped off the artist's work to make money off of it.

Ayaneo's next retro gaming handheld is revisiting the iconic Game Boy design once again.

The handheld maker announced the Konkr Pocket Block, an "extremely compact" device that will also pack in AI features.

Ayaneo didn't detail what these AI features are, nor what makes the Konkr Pocket Block "the world's first AI handheld," but we're expecting it to be much cheaper than the company's premium handhelds that can start at more than $1,000.

However, instead the sleek and minimalist look of its other vertical handhelds, Ayaneo went with "retro aesthetics" and a pocketable form factor for the Konkr Pocket Block.

As usual, Ayaneo only showed off what the Konkr Pocket Block looks like and said it…

NASA has released the images Psyche took when it did a Mars flyby to get a gravity assist from the red planet on its way to the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche.

Psyche took an image of the crater, measuring 290 miles in diameter, shortly after its closest approach with the planet.

Psyche was also able to take a high-resolution photo of the southern pole of Mars after its closest approach.

NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASUBefore Psyche took those images, however, the spacecraft took a photo showing a crescent Mars.

NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASUAfter getting gravity assist from Mars, Psyche will resume using its solar-electric propulsion system to continue its journey.

This week, we recommend checking out Of the Earth, a new Image Comics miniseries by writers Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, News from the Fallout) and Andrew Ehrich, and artist Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), with letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and designer Mike Tivey.

The first issue of Of the Earth establishes the story's underlying folklore right away, opening with an excerpt from a book about a mythical monster in the west: the Wildcatter.

This beast is said to have a human face, but an "amorphous" body that can be "both humanoid and animalistic, with long limbs and horns."

Cinemagoal, the app known for illegally rebroadcasting streaming content from Netflix, Disney+, Spotify and more, is the latest pirate ship to sink.

The Italian authority said the app ran 24 hours a day, retransmitting access codes from legitimate subscriptions to fake accounts that streamed media to Cinemagoal subscribers.

According to the Guardia di Finanza, the app's design was smart enough to get around a platform's security checks and didn't require a connection to a user's IP address, making it harder to track.

Cinemagoal subscriptions went for 40 to 130 euros, between $46 to $151, a year and were paid through hard-to-trace methods, like cryptocurrency or fake foreign bank accounts, t…

After a long wait, and in a rapidly changing electric vehicle climate, the Ferrari Luce has debuted as the company’s first EV.

The Luce’s exterior was developed with former Apple designer Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s LoveForm creative collective and while there’s a clear attempt to tie it into traditional Ferrari design, it’s a different kind of Ferrari.

Perhaps it’s color dependent but it looks a little odd in the Azzurro La Plata (Blue-Silver) that Ferrari uses in some photos.

That leaves the Ferrari Luce in a very small class.

In a sense, it’s a miracle the Luce is electric at all, no matter what you think of it and what it represents to Ferrari.

China launched embryo-like structures made from living human stem cells to its Tiangong space station for a first-of-its-kind experiment.

The artificial embryos flew on board the Tianzhou-10 cargo craft on May 10 and spent around five days in low-Earth orbit to replicate the early development phase that comes after fertilization.

“This is not a real human embryo and does not have the ability to develop into an individual.

However, it can serve as a model for studying early human development.”Each embryo was kept in its own chamber within a culture container.

Meanwhile on Earth, identical samples were also being studied inside a lab to compare how the space embryos fared in the microgravity …

After suffering an embarrassing setback with the third launch of the New Glenn rocket, Blue Origin is hoping to get back on track with its partially reusable vehicle.

Blue Origin completed an investigation into the anomaly that caused New Glenn to place its payload in a lower orbit than planned.

The Federal Aviation Administration approved the company’s report on the NG-3 mission, and cleared New Glenn for liftoff, Blue Origin announced.

Cleared for liftoffThe upper stage mishap prompted the FAA to ground the rocket, ordering Blue Origin to carry out an investigation into the anomaly.

Jeff Bezos’ rocket company may have big plans in store for its New Glenn rocket.

In a study, the researchers describe using beamforming feedback information (BFI) and machine learning models to identify people walking within a network’s range.

This is accomplished through what is known as WiFi sensing, or the use of WiFi signals to infer information about a physical environment.

When radio signals like WiFi travel through a space, they interact with the objects and people around them.

It has already been used in previous WiFi sensing research, but it is harder to access in practice because it often requires modified firmware.

“This technology turns every router into a potential means for surveillance,” said co-author Julian Todt in the press release.

In the first major theological document of his papacy, Pope Leo warned humanity on the dangers of underregulated AI development—alwhile being flanked by one of the biggest players in AI.

“In the era of artificial intelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human,” the Pope wrote in his 43,000-word encyclical titled Magnifica Humanitas.

He calls on the industry to avoid “the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak” and urges “more active political involvement” in the development of AI.

AI’s impact on jobs and welfareThe Pope’s encyclical touches on everything from the impact of AI companions to the prolif…

We dipped into it on Friday, now it’s time to look at The Mandalorian and Grogu with some slightly more complete numbers.

Per Variety, the film made an estimated worldwide box office of $163 million.

The majority of that came from domestic markets, overcoming what seemed like a weak debut when compared to 2018’s Solo.

It’s currently closing in on $80 million worldwide, which will likely grow further thanks to its own word of mouth.

But if you think this movie determines Star Wars’Â theatrical future, keep an eye on Star Wars: Starfighter instead.

One of the bigger victims of this phenomenon is arguably the James Bond franchise.

Ian Fleming’s iconic super spy has spent 20 years learning to become the classic version fans love, starting with 2006’s Casino Royale.

2012’s Skyfall functions as a soft reboot by adding in classic 007Â fixtures missing from the prior two films like his supporting cast.

Of course, James Bond has a leg up on other franchises in that it has a built-in fix for its any poorly received decisions.

Between First Light and Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming movie, there’ll undoubtedly be overlap between the two and how they go about rebooting James Bond.

As smart health tech moves from post-detection to prediction models, the need for complete tracking data becomes more crucial than ever.

A new idea just might solve any problems related to data gaps in health trackers: charging through body heat.

Additionally, the battery technology could lower costs compared to existing health monitoring sensors.

The concept isn’t new—there was the Matrix PowerWatch charged by body heat back in 2017—but this new project offers significantly longer battery life with a much smaller footprint than traditional health tracking solutions.

After all, an unkillable health tracker could certainly be more useful than our current, limited-life models.

(Or Frankenstein: Legend of Terror, if you’re in the west.

Samsung intends to add a fainting-prediction sensor to the Galaxy Watch in the near future.

Fainting alone is bad enough, but fainting spells often come with secondary injuries because signs and symptoms can come on rapidly.

And the Galaxy Watch could soon be capable of both.

Samsung’s vasovagal syncope sensor remains in clinical testing for now, though it may make it onto consumer devices in the future.

Oura has cornered the U.S. smart ring market, with its latest model, the Oura Ring 4, highly rated across the board.

While there are other smart rings on the market, including the Samsung Galaxy Ring, Evie Ring, and RingConn, none have earned brand loyalty comparable to Oura’s.

Rather than reach a royalties agreement with Oura, Ultrahuman pulled its Ring Air from the shelves and began work on the Ring Pro, Ultrahuman’s third-generation smart ring.

And there could definitely be a few benefits to choosing the Ring Pro over the Oura Ring 4.

International smart ring enthusiasts have been able to get their hands on the Ultrahuman Ring Pro while Ultrahuman waited on U.S. Customs and Border Pr…

Remarkably, the new approach preserves the natural structure of the silk fibers and mostly depends on carefully controlled temperatures and pressures to toughen up the silk.

For the study, Li and colleagues first treated commercially available silk fibers with sodium carbonate to remove the sticky covering produced by silk moths.

Under these conditions, remarkably, the silk fibers bundled up and fused together, taking a new form that somehow resembled wood in structure.

The idea is to bring in industrial and commercial partners willing to try incorporating the fused silk into sensors and other tech, the researchers added.

“Some natural materials are highly engineered by nature, and silk is …

With a new Star Wars movie in theaters, the first in seven years, we’ve decided to put it up against the rest of the series in what we’re calling a ranking of “Star Wars” movies.

All kidding aside, while ranking Star Wars movies is a pastime fans have enjoyed since there was a second Star Wars movie, we here at io9 haven’t done one in a long, long time.

Rogue OneNo Star Wars movie since the first one did what Rogue One: A Star Wars Story did: introduce an (almost) entirely new cast of characters, make you care about them, and then put them through the wringer.

It’s just, almost without competition, the worst Star Wars movie… in live action.

If you’ve ever had a YouTube video flagged for a copyright violation, it may have been because of a feature called Content ID that music publishers absolutely love.

It allows copyright holders to crawl YouTube and automatically detect copyrighted content.

As the Times points out, Content ID isn’t great at finding AI-narrated audiobooks.

The author holds a copyright on the text, which can be slightly changed by the creator of the YouTube video while still leaving the book largely intact—good enough for casual listeners anyway.

And I don’t mean because it’s robbing John Grisham of audiobook sales, which is bad, but not the gravest injustice in the universe.

A new report from Bloomberg raises some uncomfortable questions about Salesforce’s marketing around Agentforce, the company’s AI platform.

Conventional wisdom—true or not—holds that we’re in the midst of something called the “SaaSpocalypse,” brought about by AI.

But Salesforce hasn’t been without its rejoinders to this narrative—even if you set aside Agentforce.

Also, Salesforce is far from the only company that created marketing materials featuring AI-related promises that have noticeably not materialized.

It knows the user and their itinerary, instead of asking a million tedious questions, and it simply solves the problem for them.

We have been waiting for the Ferrari Luce for eight years.

“If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first,” Marchionne said.

“People are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar: I’m not trying to minimize what Elon, did but I think it’s doable by all of us.”Well, Ferrari has not been the first.

Today’s reveal of the exterior in Rome by Ferrari ends the secrecy and completes the process.

This is the Luce (Italian for “light”), the most consequential thing Maranello has made in decades.

The crowd’s murmur grew to a roar as Kristian Gkolomeev hit the final quarter of the 50-meter freestyle swim, the Las Vegas Strip backdrop alight behind him.

The 32-year-old Greek swimmer was racing in the final competition of the Enhanced Games, a controversial sporting event where 42 athletes from around the world—encouraged to dope using substances that would get them kicked out of the Olympics or most other international competitions—took their shot at world records, personal bests, and enormous prizes: $250,000 for first place, and $1 million for beating a world record.

They did so despite the condemnation of many top worldwide sporting agencies due to fairness concerns and major healt…

You could argue, and people have, that the top gay dating apps are now optimized for monetization and juicing engagement loops.

Grindr, with its 15 million monthly active users, is drowning in ads while pushing expensive upsells on users.

As public backlash against popular queer apps continues to mount, a batch of tech entrepreneurs are scrambling to meet the demand by doubling down on privacy-conscious, community-driven alternatives.

It was built on a decentralized identity system, meaning MeetMarket doesn’t store users’ emails, passwords, or personal information.

Users store everything on their device, giving them full control and ownership over their data and how it’s shared.

If you're still on Windows 10, and you don't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11—which many older PCs don't—then there is a potential solution in the form of Tiny11.

This unofficial, stripped-down version of Windows 11 cuts out the clutter for a leaner, more lightweight experience, and it can run on machines that don't support the full-fat Windows 11 released by Microsoft.

A decade ago, programs to reward researchers for submitting software vulnerability findings were just starting to go mainstream.

Vulnerability disclosure and “bug bounty” programs represented a paradigm shift years in the making—moving institutions from hostility and defensiveness about security research findings to acknowledgement that receiving input and releasing fixes was necessary.

When Apple finally announced a bug bounty in 2016, the top reward was $200,000.

This abundance is changing the economics of bug bounties for both institutions soliciting submissions and researchers, some of whom currently make a living or supplement their income with bug hunting.

Right now people will be sub…

The Psyche probe, launched in October 2023 on its way to the metallic asteroid it studies, recently performed a flyby of Mars to take advantage of its gravitational pull and continue its trajectory toward the asteroid belt.

During the maneuver, the spacecraft obtained new images of the red planet.

Psyche passed within 4,609 kilometers, or 2,864 miles, of the Martian surface, and was boosted to a higher velocity after completing the gravity assist.

On the approach, NASA activated onboard cameras, magnetometers, and gamma ray and neutron spectrometers to calibrate each instrument using the planet's atmosphere and terrain.

“We’ve captured thousands of images of the approach to Mars and of the …

And, by the time the incident review happened, three teams were arguing about whether it was an agent failure or an infrastructure failure, because the frameworks for thinking about these two things have never been connected. The scale of this exposure is no longer theoretical. Seventy-nine percent of organizations now have some form of AI agent in production, with 96% planning expansion. Gartner pre…

On May 19, 633 malicious npm package versions passed Sigstore provenance verification. They were cleared by the system because the attacker had generated valid signing certificates from a compromised maintainer account.Sigstore worked exactly as designed: it verified the package was built in a CI environment, confirmed a valid certificate was issued, and recorded everything in the transparency log. What it cannot do is determine whether the person holding the credentials authorized the publish — and that gap turned the last automated trust signal in npm into camouflage.One day earlier, StepSecurity documented an attack on the Nx Console VS Code extension, a widely used developer tool with m…

When agentic workflows fail, developers often assume the problem lies in the underlying model’s reasoning abilities. In reality, the limited information provided by the retrieval interface is often the primary limiting factor.Researchers at multiple universities propose a technique called direct corpus interaction (DCI) that lets agents bypass embedding models entirely, searching raw corpora directly using standard command-line tools.The limits of classic retrievalIn classic retrieval systems such as RAG, documents are chunked, converted into vector representations (or embeddings), and indexed offline in a vector database. When an AI system processes a query, a retriever filters the entire …

Dun & Bradstreet has spent over 180 years building a comprehensive commercial database. Its Commercial Graph, covering 642 million businesses and their relationships, corporate hierarchies and risk profiles, was designed for people. Credit analysts, risk managers and sales professionals who could wait for query results and work through ambiguous entity matches. AI agents cannot do any of those things.When D&B's customers started pushing agents into credit, procurement and supply chain workflows, the Commercial Graph that had reliably served nearly 200,000 customers globally became a problem. The systems built to serve human analysts were the wrong architecture for machines. So D&B rebuilt."…

The AI industry has fully entered the "agent era," a paradigm where AI models do far more than generate text — they now actively plan, execute, and course-correct complex tasks over days rather than seconds. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising to see Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's famed Qwen Team of AI researchers release a model capable of performing autonomous agentic AI work over multiple days: that model has arrived in the form of Qwen3.7-Max which the company reports in a blog post achieved "~35 hours of continuous autonomous execution" — albeit, in a proprietary, not open source format, as prior Qwen Team releases were.This is also to be expected — it's what many analysts and industry…

AI agents forget. Every time a coding assistant loses track of a debugging thread, or a data analysis agent re-ingests the same context it already processed, the team pays in latency, token costs, and brittle workflows. The fix most teams reach for — expanding the context window or adding more RAG — is increasingly expensive and still doesn't reliably work.To address this, researchers from Mind Lab and several universities proposed delta-mem, an efficient technique that compresses the model’s historical information into a dynamically updated matrix without changing the model itself. The resulting module adds just 0.12% of the backbone model's parameters — compared to 76.40% for one leading …

Every MFA check passed. Every login was legitimate. The compliance dashboard was green across every identity control. And the attacker was already inside, moving laterally through Active Directory with a valid session token, escalating privileges on a trajectory toward the domain controller.This is the scenario playing out inside enterprises that invested heavily in authentication and assumed the job was done. The credential was real. The multi-factor challenge was answered correctly. The system performed exactly as designed. It authenticated the user at the front door and never looked again. The breach didn't bypass MFA. It started after MFA succeeded.Authentication proves identity at a si…

Presented by Veriff Americans can’t reliably distinguish real from AI-generated content, and that’s not just a media literacy problem; it’s a direct threat to how businesses verify identity online.New research finds that while many people are aware of deepfakes, their ability to distinguish them from reality is barely better than a coin flip. A 2026 survey conducted by Veriff and Kantar among 3,000 respondents in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil shows Americans scoring just 0.07 on a scale where 0 represents random guessing.If people can’t distinguish authentic visual content, they can’t reliably distinguish authentic identities. In practice, that means the same users inter…

Resolve AI, the production-operations startup backed by Greylock and Lightspeed Venture Partners, today announced a sweeping expansion of its platform that introduces always-on background agents, a redesigned investigation architecture, and a shared workspace where engineers and AI agents collaborate in real time on live incidents.The centerpiece of the release is a new multi-agent investigation system developed by Resolve AI's in-house research lab. Instead of deploying a single AI agent to diagnose a production failure — analogous to a lone engineer pulling an on-call shift — the platform now dispatches a coordinated team of specialized agents that pursue multiple hypotheses in parallel, …

Kore.ai on Wednesday launched what amounts to a ground-up reinvention of its core technology: the Artemis edition of its Agent Platform, a system designed to let enterprises build, govern, and optimize AI agents using AI itself — compressing what has traditionally been months of engineering work into days.The platform arrives at a moment when every major technology vendor — from Microsoft and Salesforce to Google and ServiceNow — is racing to become the default infrastructure for enterprise AI agents. Kore.ai's answer to that crowded field is a bet on neutrality, a proprietary intermediary language for defining agents, and a philosophy that AI, not human developers, should do most of the he…

Presented by Design.comGenerative AI has made design radically more accessible. A founder can now create a logo, launch a website, build social campaigns, generate presentations, and produce marketing collateral in a single afternoon — work that once required agencies, freelancers, or internal creative teams.But as design generation becomes easier, maintaining a recognizable identity becomes harder.The problem is no longer whether businesses can create content. It’s whether all of that content still feels like it comes from the same company.That shift matters most for emerging businesses. Established enterprises already have brand governance systems, design teams, and years of customer reco…

At Google I/O, the company unveiled Managed Agents in its Gemini API — a service that promises to collapse weeks of agent deployment work into a single API call. It's also a sign that Google believes its ecosystem, including the newly launched Antigravity CLI, is ready to own the execution layer end-to-end.Before a single agent is written, teams are already spending days on the unglamorous work: standing up execution environments, managing sandboxes, wiring tool call infrastructure. Model providers like Anthropic have launched platforms to handle much of that work — but Google's approach is different.Google said in a blog post that Managed Agents in the Gemini API abstracts “away the comple…

Canadian AI lab Cohere made waves recently by announcing a merger with German AI startup Aleph Alpha, but now it has even more in store for enterprise builders around the globe: today, the firm co-founded by former Googler and "Attention Is All You Need" co-author Aidan Gomez unveiled Command A+, a highly optimized, 218-billion-parameter language model engineered specifically for complex reasoning, multimodal document processing, and agentic workflows.The most significant aspect of the release is not just the model’s capabilities; it is its accessibility. By releasing the model weights free on the popular AI code sharing repository Hugging Face under a highly permissive Apache 2.0 open-sour…

Less than a week after completing the largest tech IPO of 2026, Cerebras Systems is making its most aggressive play yet to dominate the fast-growing AI inference market. On Monday, the Sunnyvale-based chipmaker announced that it is now running Kimi K2.6 — a trillion-parameter open-weight model developed by Beijing-based Moonshot AI — for enterprise customers at nearly 1,000 tokens per second, a speed no GPU-based provider has come close to matching.The result, independently verified by benchmarking firm Artificial Analysis, clocked in at 981 output tokens per second, making Cerebras 6.7 times faster than the next-fastest GPU-based cloud provider and 23 times faster than the median.

The Momentum 5's high-frequency reproduction isn't as shiny as Sony's, but it's sharper and more precise, helping avoid listening fatigue.

I turned the Bass Boost setting on because the Momentum 5's sound is on the neutral side.

Overall, I think those who appreciate a less "consumer" sound will appreciate the Momentum 5's sound, as few sonic details go unnoticed.

The Momentum 5's noise cancellation is considerably stronger than the previous generation, with improved reduction of mid- and low-frequency noise.

I really appreciate that you can adjust the Momentum 5's noise reduction levels on a sliding scale rather than in preset modes.

Getac G140 3.5 / 5 Good pros and cons Pros Ruggedized package that's ideal for heavy outdoor use.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETThe tablet measures 13.3 x 9.4 x 0.9 inches and weighs 3.95 pounds, so it's a pretty hefty weight to hold in one hand.

It also runs Microsoft Copilot+ features smoothly thanks to the Ryzen AI chip having an NPU capable of running at 50 TOPS.

You can definitely buy cheaper, lighter, and more powerful tablets, but these would quit at the first drop or rain shower.

You can also find cheaper rugged tablets, but you lose on performance and all the optional extras that you can add.

TL;DR Microsoft’s April 2026 update lets users and administrators fully uninstall the Copilot app from Windows 11.

Microsoft has added the ability to fully remove the Copilot app from Windows 11.

For IT administrators, the new policy is called “Remove Microsoft Copilot app.” It sits under User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows AI in the Group Policy Editor.

The policy will uninstall Copilot only if specific conditions are met: both Microsoft 365 Copilot and the standalone Microsoft Copilot must be installed, the user must not have manually installed the Copilot app, and the app must not have been launched in the past 28 days.

Summary: China has launched a national ID system for humanoid robots, assigning each a 29-character code that tracks it from production to recycling.

China has launched a national identification system for humanoid robots.

More than 28,000 robots across 200 models have already been assigned an ID through the platform, which was launched by the Hubei province’s Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center in May.

As humanoid robots move from factories into hospitals, homes, and public spaces, who is responsible for what they do?

If humanoid robots become as common as China’s industrial policy intends, every country will need a way to track them.

TL;DR Reallusion launched AI Studio, a production platform that pairs its iClone 3D animation tools with ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 to give filmmakers spatial precision that text-prompt-only AI video generators cannot match.

Reallusion, the 3D animation software company behind iClone and Character Creator, has launched AI Studio, a production platform that pairs traditional 3D scene-building with generative AI video models.

The centrepiece is a direct integration with ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0, currently the top-ranked AI video model on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard.

That 3D data then serves as what the company calls a “precision control layer” for the AI model.

Seedance 2.0 handles the …

The Copenhagen agtech has already mapped nine times more European farmland than every Danish agricultural drone combined.

Two well-known Nordic investors want the United States next.

The capital sits alongside non-dilutive funding from Denmark’s EIFO, the European Space Agency, and Innovation Fund Denmark.

The headline figure for the technology, as PerPlant tells it, is a ninety per cent reduction in herbicide use for an average Danish farmer with around 200 hectares of land.

The next stop, according to the company, is the United States.

IBM India’s Sandip Patel says the country can become the world’s AI skill capital by 2030.

To get there, the AI-literate share of India’s technology workforce will have to rise from around thirty per cent today to nearly fifty-seven per cent by the end of the decade.

That is the gap between 200 million and 350 million workers, and it is meant to close in less than five years.

Coding, ticket handling, junior analyst work: the tasks that have, until recently, scaled with headcount are now scaling with model calls.

Only fifteen per cent are scaling AI through cross-functional investment; the remaining eighty-five per cent are stuck in pilots.

That spread, from Copenhagen at 42 per cent down to Bucharest at five, is where any honest editorial about European AI adoption has to begin.

The deeper story is that European AI adoption is low for the same reasons European tech has been small for twenty years.

The OECD’s December 2025 report on AI adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises, prepared for the G7 presidency, found that half of all surveyed SMEs cite a skills shortage as their primary barrier to adoption.

Regulation is not the main thing slowing European AI adoption.

Denmark’s enterprise AI adoption is now higher than the US enterprise average reported by Stanford.

The Claude pullback is the most credible signal yet that the unit economics of enterprise AI coding do not, at current token prices, work.

By March, Naga’s own figures had Claude Code use jumping from 32 per cent to 84 per cent of his roughly 5,000-engineer organisation.

Inside Experiences and Devices, Claude Code had become, by several accounts, the preferred tool.

The cost of a working AI coding agent compared to the cost of an additional senior engineer is, even at current prices, often favourable on a per-feature basis.

Enterprises will keep buying AI coding tools, because the productivity is real and the competitive pressure is unforgiving.

Christopher Olah, Anthropic’s co-founder and the head of its interpretability research, used his seat at the Vatican on Monday to make an argument that no leader of a major AI firm has previously made on a platform of that scale: the development of frontier AI cannot be left to frontier AI labs.

Olah spoke at the formal presentation of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, in the Vatican Synod Hall.

“Every frontier AI lab,” he said, “operates inside a set of incentives and constraints that can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing.”Even well-intentioned researchers, he added, remain inside those forces.

Anthropic’s presence at the Vatican has already become, in the p…

Pope Leo XIV used the first encyclical of his pontificate, published in Rome on Monday, to call for the disarmament of artificial intelligence.

“To disarm means discrediting the assumption that technical power automatically confers the right to govern,” the pope wrote.

The framing is deliberate: this encyclical is offered as its successor for the AI age.

Christopher Olah, Anthropic’s co-founder and head of interpretability research, presented alongside cardinals at the Vatican Synod Hall on Monday morning.

Pope Leo XIV presented it personally rather than delegating it to cardinals, a break with tradition.

The 71,000-square-metre Hagastaden campus, signed with Atrium Ljungberg and Castellum, ends more than two decades in the suburb once branded Sweden’s Silicon Valley.

Annual rent to Atrium Ljungberg lands at about 360m kronor ($39m) at 2026 levels.

That sits on top of the 24,000-square-metre Infinity contract Castellum signed previously, expected to be ready by late 2027.

Office vacancy rates in Kista ran at 26.7% in the first quarter of 2026, more than double the central Stockholm rate, according to Colliers data cited by Bloomberg.

Atrium Ljungberg shares rose as much as 5.1% on Monday, the most since April 8, and Castellum gained 2.1%.

UK-domiciled companies raised $10.5bn of venture capital between January and April 2026, roughly double the figure for the same period last year, according to research published by GlobalData on Monday.

Three of those rounds, the firm says, account for more than 40% of the total.

Wayve, the London-based self-driving company, raised $1.2bn in February at an $8.6bn valuation, with Microsoft, Nvidia, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Stellantis on the cap table.

Its share of global VC deal volume is about 7%, and its share of global value about 3%.

Total value crossed $10bn unusually fast; volume did not.

Blue Origin will spend $600m on a new upper-stage manufacturing facility at its Rocket Park campus in Cape Canaveral, Florida governor Ron DeSantis announced on Friday.

The two companies are no longer competing on the same terms; the question is whether industrial capacity, rather than capital markets, can keep Blue Origin in the conversation.

Blue Origin is, as the company noted, currently the only firm that both manufactures and launches rockets from the state.

The state has now backed Blue Origin’s pad infrastructure, its hypergolic fuelling facility, and now its upper-stage factory through the Spaceport Improvement Program.

The next decision sits with Blue Origin: how quickly the buildi…

Schneider Electric expects its India data-centre business to grow faster than the rest of the company, and faster than the core electrification and automation businesses that have driven its results everywhere else.

Globally, roughly 30% of Schneider’s revenue, which the company reports at about €40bn a year, already comes from data centres.

The India backdrop is unusual in the same way the country’s broader AI infrastructure story has become unusual.

Larsen & Toubro announced earlier this year that it would partner with Nvidia to build a sovereign AI factory in Chennai.

Power supply, the harder constraint behind every AI data-centre announcement, was not addressed directly.

A good password manager generates unique credentials for every account, fills them automatically, and encrypts the vault with a master password only you know.

Each of these is a credential management failure waiting to become a breach.

Rather than building a traditional PAM platform and bolting on a password manager, Keeper started with consumer-grade password management and expanded upwards into enterprise credential governance, privileged access management, and secrets management.

For context, that Business plan at $4 per user per month is less than half the cost of comparable PAM platforms, and it includes password management, secrets management, and privileged session recording in a sin…

Delivery Hero confirmed on Saturday that Uber has tabled a formal takeover offer for the Berlin-based food-delivery group, at €33 a share.

Uber’s chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi flew to meet Delivery Hero’s supervisory board chair Kristin Skogen Lund in person before the bid was filed, the FT reported.

Delivery Hero, for its part, said only that it remains “fully focused” on the strategic review already underway and declined to disclose further terms.

Bolting Delivery Hero onto the delivery leg fits the framing.

The 1.76% discount to Delivery Hero’s Friday close gives investors arguing for €40 a clear rhetorical wedge, and gives the German board cover to ask for more.

Apple is asking a federal judge in New Jersey to force the U.S. government to turn over documents from 14 federal agencies that it says could support its defense in the DOJ’s antitrust case.

Whether through Rule 34 party discovery or Rule 45 subpoenas, these agency documents are discoverable and should be produced.

For the better part of a year, we’ve been hearing about Project Mulberry: Apple’s AI-powered health coach.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the features should still be on track for iOS 27, though they may not release until later in the cycle.

On the other hand, Apple is apparently going to greatly improve Apple Watch heart-rate tracking with watchOS 27, which could tie in nicely with Apple’s eventual health coach.

I don’t expect features from that endeavor to launch until later in the iOS 27 update cycle.

It’s still very possible that the redesigned Health app itself will still debut in iOS 27, but Apple’s AI health coach (and subsequent Apple Health+ subscription) are seemingly delay…

According to this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Apple’s image generation models – used in Genmoji and Image Playground – will be receiving a ‘big boost’ in visual quality.

When Image Playground and Genmoji debuted in iOS 18.2, the image fidelity was certainly far from impressive.

Genmoji was generally okay, but Image Playground was incredibly poor – especially in comparison to other image generation tools.

Granted, there is the fact that Image Playground and Genmoji are powered by on-device models.

Lastly, Apple will be adding support for other AI image generation models in Image Playground.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple may be conceding AirPlay as a system-level default, and alternative streaming protocols may be able to tap into iOS at a native level, starting with iOS 27.

Google Cast (formerly Chromecast) is most certainly the most popular third-party protocol that’d take advantage of this.

Nonetheless, it theoretically means that any smart speaker or streaming device manufacturer could offer native integration with iOS, without needing to support AirPlay or rely on Bluetooth.

The report doesn’t necessarily say that verbatim, but if you’re not in the EU, I wouldn’t have high hopes for getting native Google Cast integration – at least for now.

Bloomberg says iOS 27 will significantly change the layout of the AirPods menu in Settings app.

The AirPods settings screen automatically appears at the top of the Settings app when you have a pair of AirPods connected to your phone.

Whereas Apple Watch and Vision Pro get a dedicated companion app on the iPhone’s home screen, AirPods will still be confined to settings, though.

Bloomberg says these new AirPods settings UI changes should be part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macO…

Customizable camera UIRight now, the Camera app interface is pretty fixed in place, with controls only being exposed as needed – and the rest being tucked away in a menu.

With the new approach, users will be able to choose which features appear in the Camera app — and where they’re placed.

These changes are apparently part of an effort to make the Camera app better suited for professionals – with new advanced options being added to the Camera app.

First, Apple will be integrating Visual Intelligence in the Camera app, in the form of a new Siri mode.

This’ll expose Visual Intelligence to far more users, which is primarily accessible in a separate app behind Camera Control.

Apple has just registered a new subdomain record ahead of WWDC: genai.apple.com.

As mentioned earlier, Apple will finally be living up to the promises it made two years ago – and more.

Beyond what it announced at WWDC 2024, Apple will also reportedly be introducing a new Siri app.

Wrap upOther Apple Intelligence upgrades coming at WWDC 2026 include the ability to generate wallet passes from physical tickets, new editing features in the Photos app, and additional functionality for Visual Intelligence.

Besides Apple Intelligence, Apple is largely expected to focus on performance improvements and stability beyond all else.

While my preferred way to use an iPhone is with no case or screen protector, I’m actually enjoying both on iPhone 17 Pro and can recommend them.

Five years ago, Apple introduced Ceramic Shield glass to the iPhone screen.

I haven’t shattered an iPhone screen yet, but I consistently pick up two or three deep scratches after a year of use.

I’d much prefer a nano texture iPhone without the slight rainbow effect and drop in brightness.

A minimal case for just-in-case situationsThen there’s the matter of the iPhone case.

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex. Ну и по пути сообщает, что у Codex более 2 млн пользователей — в три раза больше, чем в январе. При этом от лица разработчиков заявляю - мы всё больше предпочитаем Claude Code. И разрыв между этими продуктами не сокращается, а субьективно наоборот - растет www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-19/openai-to-acquire-python-startup-astral-expanding-push-into-coding

Вечный источник сливов, the Information пишут, что OpenAI готовится выпустить GPT-5.4, который получит «экстремальный» режим рассуждений и контекстное окно объёмом 1 млн токенов вместо 400 тыс. в GPT-5.2. Честно говоря, эта гонка сейчас перестала так впечатлять как раньше.

Ну и да, в MacBook Neo два порта USB‑C с разными характеристиками: один — USB 3.0 (Type‑C) со скоростью передачи до 10 Гбит/с, другой — USB 2.0 (Type‑C), ограниченный 480 Мбит/с.Интересно, что внешней маркировки я на них не увидел, видимо, "должны знать" :)🔗 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/04/macbook-neo-features-two-different-usb-ports/

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

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

Polymarket удаляет долго существовавшие рынки, позволявшие пользователям делать ставки на вероятность ядерного взрыва на фоне ударов по Ирану. В прошлом году совокупный обьем ставок на эти события был $1,7 млн, что не так уж и мало. В этом году, как вы понимаете, интерес существенно бОльший.Я не понимаю, чем людям помешали эти ставки, единственная идея — сейчас сильно больше шансы на "манипуляцию", т.е. ради высокой выплаты можно попытаться что-нибудь взорвать.🔗 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/04/polymarket-shelves-nuclear-detonation-markets-after-outcry

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую. Сейчас ANE используются для запуска готовых моделей в основном, автор утверждает, что разобрал приватные API эппла, и теперь всё можно учить прямо на устройстве, не покупая себе очередной A100. В реальности, скорее всего, пользоваться этим будет нельзя, пока эппл явно не разрешит. Но фактически то, что автор репозитория показал, означает, что по сути нас ограничивает только софт, ограничения на уровне железа практически не существует. Хайпа, правда, многовато, т.к. устройства с ANE конечно не рассчитаны на ту огромную и долгов…

ByteDance показали «Project Swan», который выйдет в этом году. Это новый VR шлем с микродисплеем OLED с разрешением 4000 PPI, и новой же Pico OS 6.
