С 1 января 2027 года.

Apple представила ноутбук с дисплеем PROLED XDR и Dynamic Island 28 октября 2026 года. Устройство стоит от $2899.

В соцсетях пишут, что в эпоху ИИ-слопа такая реклама возвращает в детство.

Вслед за MEXC и Bitget.

Она построила 1000 спутников, вывела на орбиту меньше половины из них, платит за запуски конкуренту, но верит в преимущества перед другими.

По плану, устройства, работавшие в российских сетях до апреля 2027 года, продолжат работать без регистрации.

Он собирался купить «Иви» или развивать сервис с нуля — но понял, что инвестиции быстро не окупятся.

В целом — как и ожидали аналитики.

Продавец может выставить товар в единственном экземпляре по цене до 150 тысяч рублей.

Компания в 2024 году говорила о планах продавать восстановленные смартфоны и другую технику.

Облачный бизнес показал рост на 103%, но остальные сегменты не достигли прогнозируемых показателей.

Атаки на дата-центры произошли после окончания отчётного периода, поэтому «Яндекс» их не учитывал в финансовых результатах.

Полный цикл «мутации» идеи и поисков в процессе вы можете увидеть в конце этой статьи, в виде списка статей.

Я не утверждаю, что всё обстоит в основе своей именно так, однако как это объяснить по-другому, я не знаю!

В теории можно, наверное, и в 0,2 мм (у меня даже получились, но потом их снесло) — только надо соответствующим образом отрегулировать процесс обработки (т.е.

Впрочем, суть всего теста была вовсе не в этом, а в механической обработке — и именно с ней всё более чем замечательно!

Вот тебе и брульянт... :-)Ну и, в целом — технология вполне имеет место быть, как минимум, для высокоскоростного прототипирования.

Начнём с того, что сейчас в принципе отпала необходимость в разработчике как в узком специалисте.

То есть одновременно и бэкендеры, и фронтендеры, и умеют деплоить, и плюс ещё продуктово мыслят, параллельно думая о бизнесе.

И вот с такой подготовкой он закончил крупный проект и вышел на рынок труда с уверенностью, что его опыт там точно нужен.

Успел поработать и в аутсорсе, и в продуктовой разработке на Senior+ и лидовских позициях.

Ну и обсудили, что это может быть и на час, и на 2–3 дня, потому что у него было время, пока он ждал оффера Озона.

Я решил взять всё в свои руки и написал с нуля собственный кроссплатформенный TUN‑клиент и сетевое ядро на чистом Rust без единой сторонней прослойки.

Сейчас он потребляет 18 МБ ОЗУ в режиме TUN (и 12 МБ в прокси), поддерживает полный стек современных протоколов и уже готов к продакшену.

Под катом — как это устроено под капотом, какие грабли пришлось собрать при работе с TUN под Windows и как удалось подружить ядро с популярными панелями.

Горячая перезагрузка (Hot Reload): Смена серверов, настроек и правил маршрутизации применяется на лету ( Instance::reload ), без пересоздания TUN‑интерфейса и без разрыва активных соединений у пользователя.

Планы на будущее и что в роадмапеОстанавливаться …

Как происходит слом социально‑экономического строяДавайте для начала рассмотрим то, что такое социально‑экономический строй, и как исторически происходили сломы таких систем.

Сейчас различные циклы внутри человеческого общества полностью рассинхронизировались друг с другом, и на наших глазах общество идёт вразнос и разрушается.

Но возможно сингулярность и коллапс в технологическом развитии — это одно и то же, как в точке сингулярности в чёрной дыре коллапсирует любая материя?

Да и вокруг культурное поле изобилует историями успешного успеха криптанов и онлифанщиц, что не добавляет здоровья массовому сознанию.

В мире агентов главной валютой станет энергия и вычисления, что в фундаментальном ф…

Дальше, где из контекста неясно, я буду писать «ядро CPU» и «ядро ОС».

С пятого и с десятого тоже.

Работает под QEMU/KVM, как AMI на EC2 и на голом железе ( c6i.metal ).

Это исключение, по которому процессор зовёт ядро ОС, и ядро ОС подкладывает страницу.

Для совсем жадных есть режим без сисколов: приложение опрашивает кольца в общей памяти и в ядро ОС не входит вообще.

Языковые модели ошибаются вполне уверенно, и по тексту ответа невозможно понять, путается ли модель искренне или привирает, прекрасно зная правильный ответ.

Это та же беда, что и у реального полиграфа: он фиксирует скорее обстоятельства лжи, чем саму ложь.

Первый детектор одинаково уверенно срабатывает и на лжи, и на проваленной лжи.

Перед ответом результат слабый: лучшие нейроны дают 0,82–0,84 на знакомых формулировках, а на новой падают до 0,50–0,73.

Я разметил ответы вручную, получилось шесть лживых и девять правдивых: отказы и уклончивые ответы я не считал.

Из-за похожих меток два набора перепутали, и в запросы на выпуск сертификатов попали открытые ключи из слабого набора.

Так у клиентов появилось два пути доверия к одним и тем же слабым ключам: через eMudhra и через Sectigo.

Сертификаты eMudhra обнаружили и в других устройствах — например, в прошивках колонок Sonos и телевизора Samsung.

Мы используем его как в разработке, так и в сервисных целях для диагностики редких неисправностей.

Удостоверяющий центр eMudhra работал с 2008 года (после инцидента компания решила прекратить выпуск сертификатов для сайтов).

Обещание звучало соблазнительно: один симметричный разъем на 24 контакта, который вставляется любой стороной и подходит и телефону, и ноутбуку, и монитору.

Разъем получился универсальным ровно в том смысле, что в него влезает все.

В 2017 году история повторилась с USB 3.2: 5 гигабит превратились в USB 3.2 Gen 1, а 10 гигабит в USB 3.2 Gen 2.

Только тогда консорциум наконец сдался и начал продвигать понятные названия со скоростью прямо в имени, вроде USB 40Gbps и USB 80Gbps.

Двухметровый кабель для зарядки и двухметровый кабель для внешнего SSD поэтому могут стоить в разы по-разному, хотя выглядят одинаково.

Так что на этом этапе я временно решил перенаправить поток данных просто в stdout (вывод терминала), без записи на диск.

Фиксим запись в файл + FIN-флагНапоминаю, что на этом этапе наш получатель крутится в бесконечном цикле и понятия не имеет, что передача данных закончена.

А что на реальных цифрах?

Да, «убийцу TCP» мы не получили (да и не планировали), мир захватить тоже пока не удалось, но главное здесь совсем другое.

Попробовав своими руками реализовать надежную доставку поверх ненадежного хаоса, я на собственной шкуре осознал, насколько же TCP монументален.

Если запускаешь умную модель типа Qwen 3.8 27B (Dense архитектура), то на выходе получаешь 10-20 токенов в секунду.

Он сокращает инференс на 59%, что в итоге ускоряет работу кодинг-агента в 2 раза.

По итогу я на своей видеокарте запускаю следующие версии этих моделей: Cyber-Tiel-Coder-35B-A3B-MTP-UD-Q2_K_XL.gguf и Tiel-Coder-35B-A3B-MTP-UD-Q2_K_XL.gguf, а параметры запуска выглядят вот так:В итоге получаю скорость 125 токенов в секунду!

Это очень хорошее начало, но если вы заметили, то контекстное окно всего 65535 токенов, и для агентной работы при кодинге этого маловато.

И ещё можно запустить abliterated-модель для White Hat-хакинга и не мучиться постоянными отказами от проприетарных модел…

В тот момент я понял, что ИИ можно использовать в моём ремесле, даже если я не понимаю ни капли того кода, что он пишет.

Украденный у китайца дизайн и «Что такое гонка состояний?»Но вот эпоха кончилась, и началась новая — Codex и Cursor.

Здесь уже всё заиграло новыми красками: не я сижу и по 5–7 часов гоняю циклы проверки кода, а сам ИИ!

Кстати, я не первый такого мнения:Начал переписывать всё на новый универсальный API — QRhi.

Представляю вам «мультисравнение»:Но я не хочу делать вторую отдельную программу для дополнительной сравнивалки.

— Нет нормального BI — и не потому, что они математически плохи, а потому, что никто не подумал про пользователя чисто на уровне интерфейса.

Следствие : появляется сущность «заказ», которая основная для маркетплейса, и на неё нельзя полагаться, потому что для производителя куда важнее продажи.

А если товар завис, а на улице холодный июнь, который съел спрос, — спасать его нужно немедленно, иначе он вообще всегда будет гнить на складе.

Чтобы держать всё это — и ещё управлять категорией — менеджеру нужно год или два наблюдать за рынком и обучаться на своих ошибках.

И это не потому, что там работают глупые или ленивые люди.

8 октября, 04:55 МСК (Симптом паралича): Начинаются массовые ошибки при создании виртуальных машин, кластеров Kubernetes и баз данных в остальных, живых зонах.

Облако отключает автоматизм и переводит выделение квот на вычисления и диски в полностью ручной режим.

Ручные квоты 10 октября и отправка клиентов к конкурентам 9 октября доказали: пересобирать третий узел кворума было физически негде.

В условиях 2026 года все площадки в одном радиусе досягаемости и на одном энергетическом и сетевом узле образуют единый коррелированный домен отказа (Single Domain of Correlated Failure).

Это гарантирует, что даже при полном выгорании основного региона вы поднимете базу данных в резервном контуре с пот…

Основатели бренда отвечают за продукт и за его название, которое зачастую совпадает с их фамилией.

Тот, кто планирует выйти из бизнеса или стремится только к показателям прибыли, растрачивает репутацию, потому что это истощаемый ресурс, а последствия его исчерпания наступят только после завершения ресурса.

Матрас — идеальная цель: мы покупаем его, скажем, раз в пять лет, и не можем отличить в магазине хороший от плохого.

Обратите внимание на то, что один и тот же бренд одновременно представлен и в фирменном флагманском магазине, и в Costco, и в TJ Maxx.

Информация меняется, когда бренды переходят из рук в руки, а это неизбежно происходит.

Я начинал свой путь в серьёзные камеры с Nikon и люблю его, поэтому ни секунды не колебался и написал продавцу.

(Лично я в 99% случаев пользуюсь только режимом А и в 1% М).

D200 — в каком‑то роде уникальная камера в линейке продвинутых цифрозеркалок Nikon, стоящая на стыке эпох.

Даже наполовину разряженный аккумулятор в пиковый момент проседает по напряжению, и камера выдаёт ошибку с залипшим в верхнем положении зеркалом.

У меня пока что держатся, но на другой камере Nikon уже настолько разбухли, что цепляют за края паза при повороте…Хрупкий слот для CF‑карточек.

PlayStation 5 наконец получила традиционные геймпады из прозрачного пластика, через который можно рассмотреть железо внутри.

В серию Prism входят три глянцевых контроллера: серый (который скорее синий), оранжевый (больше красный) и зелёный.

В тех же цветах выпущены панели и для самой консоли.

Предзаказы начнут принимать 10 ноября 2026 года в европейском онлайн-сторе PlayStation и локальных магазинах.

А вот официальный запуск назначен на 4 февраля 2027 года.

А ещё с AirPods Max привыкаешь к тому, что наушники не надо выключать.

Если я не выключил наушники, то какого чёрта наушники сами не выключились спустя 15, 30, 60 минут бездействия?

Я не понимаю, почему за более чем месяц после выхода наушники имеют множество софтовых проблем и не получили никаких обновлений.

Да, я задолбался слушать предложение от часов включить тренировку, потому что я даже гуляю быстрым шагом.

Но на последних строчках понял, что этот вопрос должен задавать не я: ошибок, требующих исправления, в AirPods Max я не вижу.

Компания отказалась строить премиальный Galaxy W27 для Поднебесной на базе популярного в этом сезоне «широкого Фолда» и продолжила удивлять зажиточных китайцев старым форм-фактором.

Габариты, ёмкость аккумулятора и характеристики камер Z Fold8 Ultra остались прежними, зато память теперь начинается от 16/512 вместо 12/256 ГБ.

Комплект поставки для Китая богатый: в коробку кладут защитный чехол из кевлара, зарядное устройство, пачку премиальной макулатуры и подарочную карту местного оператора связи номиналом в тысячу юаней.

Цена начинается от 19 000 юаней, или примерно 230 000 рублей по текущему курсу.

За максимальную комплектацию на 1 ТБ хранилища и вовсе придётся отдать 22 000 юаней, или пр…

Ведомство хочет ввести двухнедельный дедлайн на регистрацию IMEI устройства.

Внесение в реестр IMEI будет происходить через «Госуслуги».

Требование коснётся смартфонов, из-за границы ввезённых после апреля 2027 года как для личного пользования, так и для продажи.

Эксперты считают, что для легальных ретейлеров ничего не изменится, а серый рынок может сократиться аж на 70 %.

При этом у серовозов даже самые дешёвые модели подорожают примерно на 40 %.

Надбавка к стоимости авиабилетов на внутренних рейсах может составить 500 рублей, на международных — до 1000 рублей, как пишет «Интерфакс».

Занимается проектом Минпромторг по поручению президента РФ.

А вводится дополнительный сбор для того, чтобы «поддержать поставки» 258 отечественных самолётов типа МС-21, Ту-214, SJ-100 и Ил-114-300.

Если исходить из финансовой модели поставок авиатехники, то авиасбор будет активен до 2035 года.

С первого взлома Switch 2 прошло меньше недели, а энтузиасты уже вытащили файлы игр с консоли и начали запускать их на чём попало.

Mario Kart World уже работает на iPhone и MacBook Pro, а Splatoon Raiders, Pokemon Pokopia, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave и Donkey — на персональном компьютере.

Велика вероятность, что под Новый год эксклюзивы Nintendo будут портированы на всё что угодно.

Тем временем хакеры продолжают ломать саму Switch 2 для запуска на ней пиратских игр и стороннего софта.

Nintendo щедро рассылает письма с предупреждениями, но взломщиков это не останавливает.

Apple представила новые макбуки с тотальным редизайном: благодаря новой системе охлаждения, они стали на 5 мм тоньше и на 220 грамм легче, а чёлку наконец-то сменил динамический островок.

Компания также укрепила шарнир ноутбука, чтобы его экран не качался от касания пальцев, и адаптировала интерфейс macOS под тач-управление.

А вот чипы остались прежними: M5 Pro и M5 Max.

Вместе с новым дизайном пришла и новая цена: 14-дюймовый макбук на M5 Pro подорожал на $500 и теперь начинается от $2900, или примерно 233 000 рублей по текущему курсу.

А за 16-дюймовый макбук готовьтесь отдать $3400 минимум, или примерно 274 000 рублей.

За первые три недели продаж актуальный флагман Apple превзошёл своего предшественника по продажам на 3,1 %, — сообщает агентство Counterpoint Research.

Больше всего iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max полюбились в Китае: на рынке Поднебесной продажи новых айфонов выросли на 29 % относительно прошлого года.

Этому поспособствовали выгодные предложения и скидки, а также увеличение цен на Android-флагманы.

А вот продажи в Японии просели, в том числе из-за нестабильного курса валюты.

В США тоже не оценили новинку, вероятно, из-за отсутствия значимых улучшений по сравнению с предыдущими моделями.

Ведомство изучает возможность фильтрации всего зарубежного интернет-трафика через ТСПУ, чтобы ограничить потребление иностранного контента российскими пользователями, — пишет издание Forbes со ссылкой на источники в отрасли связи.

Подробностей инициативы пока нет, но сама идея озвучивается не впервой: несколько недель назад Минцифры обсуждало тарификацию международного трафика с операторами связи.

По данным Forbes, инициативу об ограничениях международного трафика могут подать в Госдуму в виде дополнений к большому проекту реформ отрасли связи, однако приблизительные лимиты международного трафика пока не утверждены.

Ранее стало известно, что правительство планирует потратить 60 млрд рублей …

Ведомство добавило американские компании в реестр «Организаторов распространения информации» (ОРИ).

Согласно законам РФ, ответственное лицо обязано хранить аудио- и видеосообщения пользователей в течение полугода, а сведения об их передаче и обработке — в течение трёх лет.

По первому требованию ОРИ обязаны делиться данными с силовыми структурами.

Неизвестно, как Apple и Microsoft стали ОРИ: добровольно или без своего ведома.

Однако РКН имеет полномочия сделать это в одностороннем порядке.

Количество майнинговых ферм в России увеличилось на 8% с 31 июля по 30 сентября 2026 года, следует из аналитики МТС EnergyTool, с которой ознакомился Russian Business.

За первые шесть месяцев 2026 года выручка аккредитованных IT-компаний составила 6 трлн рублей, сообщил премьер-министр России Михаил Мишустин в видеообращении к участникам Международного форума Kazan Digital Week — 2026.

Он также отметил активное развитие сферы с точки зрения роста ее доли в валовом внутреннем продукте страны и расширением реестра отечественного софта.

В 2026 году выручка аккредитованных IT-компаний может превысить прошлогоднююСогласно данным, которыми поделился премьер-министр, доход аккредитованных IT-компаний в 2025 году приблизился к отметке 8 трлн рублей — это почти в полтора раза выше, чем годом ранее.

В 2026 году показатель может быть ещё выше: за первые два квартала…

Чукотский автономный округ стал лидером по уровню среднего дохода на душу населения среди всех российских регионов во II квартале 2026 года.

Как пишет РБК со ссылкой на Росстат, показатель превысили отметку в 250 тыс.рублей.

В топ-5 регионов также попали Москва (161 213 рублей) и Магаданская область (159 566 рублей).

В 2025 году МРОТ равнялся 22 440 рублям, а в 2026‑м увеличился на 4 653 рубля (на 20,7 %).

Согласно прогнозам положительная динамика продолжится и в следующие годы: в 2027 году показатель увеличится на 6,8 % и составит 28 935 рублей, а к 2030 году его намерены довести до 35 тыс.

Почти 90% российских ИТ-специалистов тратят на поиск работы от трех месяцев, говорится в совместном исследовании Хабр Карьеры» и «Инфосистемы Джет».

Около 60% респондентов отметили, что резюме могут отсеивать автоматизированные системы подбора, ещё 51% указали на сокращение числа вакансий.

58% нанимающих менеджеров отметили, что за последний год искать сотрудников стало сложнее.

Наиболее заметную зарплатную динамику авторы исследования отметили в направлениях поддержки и маркетинга, а среди регионов — в Воронеже и Казани.

Среди специалистов, перешедших на новое место работы:53% сообщили о повышении зарплаты — чаще всего на 10–20%;29% столкнулись со снижением дохода.

Битрикс24 запустил Синк — бесплатный сервис видеозвонков для общения с друзьями и близкими.

Сбер возглавил рейтинг РБК 500 — список крупнейших российских компаний по выручке.

По итогам 2025 года доходы банка достигли 11,7 трлн ₽, превысив показатели нефтегазовых гигантов, сообщают в РБК.

Разрыв между финансовым и нефтегазовым отраслями сократился до 400 млрд рублейСовокупная выручка финансовых организаций, вошедших в РБК 500, достигла 31,3 трлн рублей.

Дополнительным фактором стало снижение выручки ряда сырьевых компаний на фоне менее выгодного сочетания мировых цен на нефть и курса рубля.

При этом напрямую сопоставлять выручку банков с доходами промышленных и нефтегазовых компаний не вполне корректно, считают опрошенные РБК эксперты.

Представлен релиз языка системного программирования Nim 2.4.0.

Nim – статически типизированный компилируемый язык программирования с синтаксисом, вдохновлённым Python, и возможностями метапрограммирования на уровне Lisp.

Ускорение наблюдается не только при повторных пересборках, но и при первой сборке за счёт распараллеливания.

Например, сборка компилятора Nim на машине с 16 физическими ядрами при использовании опции "--ic:on" сократилась с 31 до 25 секунд.

Для ациклических данных применяется атомарный подсчёт ссылок, а для циклических - барьер записи (write barrier), который активируется только при присваивании указателей.

В рамках проекта Qwenputer исследователи подготовили расширенный вариант AI-модели Qwen3.5-4B, в котором реализован встроенный симулятор полноценного 32-разрядного CPU на базе архитектуры RISC-V (RV32IM), поддерживающего расширение Zba и оснащённого сопроцессором bignum для арифметических операций с большими числами. Реализация ядра CPU скомпилирована в набор весов и интегрирована в большую языковую модель в виде 11 дополнительных слоёв трансформеров, добавленных перед основными слоями Qwen. Вычисления выполняются непосредственно в процессе прямого прохода (forward pass) нейросети, без подключения внешних инструментов или плагинов.

В TianoCore EDK II (EFI Development Kit II), открытой эталонной реализации UEFI, применяемой в большинстве серверных материнских плат, устранена критическая уязвимость (CVE-2026-97631). Уязвимость присутствует в драйвере PXE и может быть эксплуатирована через отправку специально оформленных ICMP-пакетов во время сетевой загрузки в сетях IPv4 или IPv6. Атака не требует аутентификации и позволяет злоумышленнику выполнить свой код с привилегиями UEFI-прошивки на этапе до передачи управления операционной системе, что может быть использовано для обхода механизма верифицированной загрузки UEFI Secure Boot и подстановки вредоносных компонентов на этапе загрузки.

В библиотеке zip-rs, написанной на языке Rust и насчитывающей около 10 млн загрузок в неделю, выявлена уязвимость (CVE-2026-115905), позволяющая создавать архивы, которые выглядят безобидными, но при распаковке из них извлекаются другие, изначально не показанные в списке, файлы. Файлы могут быть размещены в архиве вне структуры "Central Directory", из-за чего при просмотре списка файлов показывается одно содержимое, но при распаковке через API ZipStreamReader извлекаются другие файлы. Проблеме присвоен уровень опасности 10 из 10. Уязвимость исправлена в версии zip-rs 9.0.5.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites.

This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.

Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam.

The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.

Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable.

The window between a fix being published and reaching users is known as the patch gap.

Further findings from our experiments on Firefox: GLM 5.3 exploited the patch gap despite existing countermeasures.

This patch gap exists in two places: fixes becoming public before they are released to users, and users continuing to run old software after an update.

Open-weight models have historically been unable to reliably exploit the patch gap, but their capabilities are steadily improving.

Anthropic demonstrated that Mythos is capable of exploiting the patch gap on Windows without any of the project’s code publicly available.

Huffman also said that the login requirement will help Reddit better retain new users.

The company will use those tests to decide what a logged-in-only Reddit will look like “globally,” per Huffman.

“During October, we have seen that search traffic has dropped by more than 1 million referrals on average per week.

The Pentagon inspector general’s office declined a request from US senators to investigate restrictions recently imposed on the Ukraine military’s use of SpaceX’s satellite network.

President Donald Trump has declared the imports of foreign-made factory robots to be a national security threat—ordering new US negotiations with trading partners while holding out the possibility of imposing new tariffs on such robot imports in the future.

Issued on October 28, Trump’s presidential proclamation represents heightened government scrutiny of foreign-made industrial robots that could complicate the manufacturing operations of major US corporations that rely on such robots.

Trump’s proclamation describes industrial robots and machinery as being crucial for producing US military weapon systems along with representing a “driving force” behind all critical infrastructure sectors w…

According to sources, the US had already suspected that Alice Huang—who is not related to Jensen Huang—was helping China evade export controls to gain access to high-end Nvidia chips through Megaspeed.

But it alarmed investigators to discover that she may have used her role at Megaspeed to gain direct access to…

While concentrated solar costs fell enough to compete with nuclear power, the price of photovoltaics plunged, making solar panels the cheapest source of power in most locations.

Currently, if you have a good site to generate solar power, then the economics of PV panels are hard to beat.

Its version of concentrated solar is designed so that a fossil-fueled backup system shares most of the generating hardware with the solar side.

Concentrated solar, also called solar thermal, is pretty simple in principle.

The hot fluid can then be used to power a traditional steam turbine, or its heat can be stored and used to generate power overnight.

It comes down to several troubling aspects of the new report, including an admission by the company that AI search isn’t earning as much as organic search, and despite that, Google expects to spend even more on AI next year.

Most notably, Google is shifting to an AI search platform powered by Gemini models.

In the last quarter, Google saw search grow by 12 percent versus last year.

Search revenue was also flat in Q3.

The other issue is that Google’s take on AI search isn’t pulling in revenue like standard web search yet.

An unprecedented leak of Department of Homeland Security records has exposed details of more than 41,000 employees or contractors who work for the department and its constituent agencies.

The records include email addresses, phone numbers, and office addresses, but also references to internal systems and sensitive information on undercover and surveillance programs.

In all, the leak provides a map of how DHS is organized and how it operates.

Okta is secure, and we have no evidence our data or systems were compromised,” the spokesperson says.

Since the start of the second Trump administration, DHS and the federal government have moved to hide DHS employees’ names and faces.

For nearly a quarter of a century, Elon Musk and his essential partner at SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell, viewed the United States government as El Dorado, the mythical city of gold.

Over time, against long odds, the pair cleared a path for SpaceX to contracts at NASA and the US military.

And so, after a while, SpaceX found El Dorado and a city of contracts.

Slowly at first, but ever more quickly, SpaceX went from needing the US government as an indispensable customer to becoming an indispensable contractor for the nation.

“I literally cannot wrap my head around a future yet where SpaceX stops flying Dragon and Falcon.

United Launch Alliance announced Wednesday it plans to return its Vulcan rocket to service on November 13, nine months after a solid rocket booster anomaly threw the company’s 2026 launch schedule into oblivion.

In both cases, the rocket overcame the nozzle failure and completed its mission, but officials at the US Space Force, ULA’s primary customer, lost confidence in Vulcan.

The Pentagon has entrusted ULA’s Vulcan rocket for roughly half of its major launches through the early 2030s.

The Space Force certified the Vulcan rocket for national security launches in 2025, then flew two missions on Vulcan before its grounding after the February booster incident.

Anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has unilaterally passed a rule that will allow specialty pharmacies to sell six specific peptide drugs, overruling scientists at the Food and Drug Administration.

The peptides are popular among members of Kennedy’s Make America Health Again movement and many prominent MAHA figures and Kennedy allies sell them.

In 2023, the safety concerns led the FDA to remove the six peptides from a list of drugs that can be made by specialty pharmacies called compounding pharmacies—which make customized formulations of drugs for patients, or, in cases such as this, specialty drugs in bulk.

Kennedy’s new rule sidesteps the need to formally undo that FDA actio…

The Trump administration is trying to stop Utah from enforcing its gambling ban against Kalshi, making Utah the 10th state sued by the US government agency that regulates prediction markets.

Utah, which prohibits gambling, sued Kalshi in a state court last week.

Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic had begun flying customers—real people with zero space experience—on suborbital missions.

Indie horror game Mouthwashing is making the jump to film.

Sony is likely hoping the combination of horror talent and hit video game IP will repeat the success it saw with Resident Evil.

Zach Cregger's adaptation of Capcom's survival horror series was not only a critical hit, but also a financial success.

It isn't chock-full of jump scares, but its heavy themes and surreal imagery make it an interesting choice for a film adaptation.

Mouthwashing launched on PC in 2024 and as of today, it's also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and through Xbox Game Pass.

Threads is experimenting with a way to more privately share posts with smaller groups of followers.

The app said it's testing "Threads Friends" in Ireland, Italy and Japan.The feature is basically like a "close friends" list for Threads.

Twitter's version of the feature allowed users to limit posts to groups of up to 150.

It seems that Meta is helping users create their initial friends list.

She also showed off an Easter egg that will change "Threads Friends" to simply "Thriends."

VRChat has published a support post explaining the results from a survey of users regarding artificial intelligence on the platform.

VRChat is an app for creating and sharing virtual worlds for hosting social interactions.

The post says that VRChat will continue weighing the addition of a label for "Human-authored" content as well as a "Tools used" field, but it has not adopted a definitive stance yet.

Similarly, it will not add a tag for labeling AI-generated content or for filtering it out of search results.

"Likewise, we could see this creating 'sleuthing' behavior, where folks would attempt to sniff out 'AI' content or might harass other creators, even if they are genuinely not using an…

Archive of Our Own (AO3), one of the best-known homes for people who read and write fan fiction online, is currently down for maintenance.

"We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks," the OTW says.

"We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner.

That includes another OTW site, Fanlore, which was briefly shut down to deal with the PHP flaw.

The nonprofit hasn't given any indication it's dealing with those same problems on AO3.

The change, which the company said will initially be tested in "select markets" outside the US, comes as the company says that search traffic has declined significantly.

"A key piece of work to retain new audiences is shifting Reddit to a logged-in-only experience," Huffman wrote in a shareholder letter.

"Moving to primarily logged-in will ensure our users have the best Reddit experience possible, and can find the content and communities most relevant to them."

The change is the most dramatic shift the company has made as it battles AI scraping and changes to internet search.

It will also likely rattle users, some of whom are already frustrated with recent moves like restrictions on Old Red…

Google has finally fixed an irritating bug that Android users were running into when they tried to access pictures they edited in Google Photos.

Saving an edited image as a copy rather than overwriting the original was said to work.

It took Google some time to squash this bug but, according to APK Mirror founder Artem Russakovskii and 9to5Google, the issue is resolved.

Your edited images should at last be free from Google Photos purgatory.

This isn't the only major Google Photos bug that popped up recently.

Google announced that its AI Mode will start showing advertisements in more markets.

Later this year, people in Brazil, Mexico, and the United Kingdom will start seeing ads, too.

According to the discussion for investors, execs noted that AI Mode was seeing lower monetization, not generating as much as the company is spending on it during the latest period.

But the ads are apparently showing "promising results" thus far, so the addition of more markets could swing AI Mode to profitability.

After AI Mode became available across the US in May 2025, it didn't take long for Google to begin testing the sponsored content ads in November.

Two years after Dune: Part Two's Sandworm popcorn bucket went viral, AMC Theatres made the obvious decision to double down for Dune: Part Three.

The theater chain is selling two themed buckets for the film's release, the "Sandworm Thumper" and "Double Sandworm," each with a worm-shaped hand hole (the Double, naturally, has two).

Even the "Guile Hair" wearable popcorn bucket the company sold alongside Street Fighter has some charm.

One reason the original Sandworm bucket might have connected is that its creators somehow didn't anticipate people would immediately see it as a sex toy.

Most popcorn buckets released since don't appear to be made with that same level of childlike naivete, and the…

Wired reports that hundreds of online poker players have allegedly been targeted in a malware attack that allowed a cheater to see their screens.

Netflix is making a live-action series based on the massively popular battle royale game PUBG.

The guy who made Atlanta is making a PUBG show.

According to Netflix, Glover will star in, write, direct and executive produce the project.

PUBG is a game in which 100 people try to shoot one another for loot and the promise of a chicken dinner.

It's making a live-action series based on Assassin's Creed and a feature length movie based on Gears of War.

The company said that, despite the success of the enjoyable Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, it doesn't have any other remakes in the works right now.

The company noted that while it's focusing on new Assassin's Creed titles for now, it's open to eventually revisiting older games.

It also announced a New Game+ option for 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which will be available on November 5.

It plans to share its next major update about this "darker Assassin's Creed experience" in 2027.

Elsewhere, Ubisoft said production has almost wrapped on Netflix's live-action Assassin's Creed series.

For years, Reddit has shown mobile users who aren’t logged in an annoying, screen-blocking overlay insisting that they download the Reddit app.

“And I don’t know about you, but as someone whose life has been defined by the open internet, it’s a big change for me,” Huffman wrote.

“We’d also like more of our users to benefit from the core functionality and value of Reddit, which requires being logged in.”The move is also designed to push more users toward an “intentional relationship with Reddit,” Huffman added, as well as block unauthorized access by web scrapers.

Huffman noted that Reddit has rebuilt and is re-releasing an incognito mode that is “truly private,” though that requires using t…

Amazon just reported its third-quarter earnings, which show it’s now the latest AI hyperscaler to disappoint the market with below-expectations revenue and a spiraling cash burn.

But while Amazon hemorrhages cash for AI, its revenue also failed to match up to analyst expectations.

On the earnings call, Amazon CEO Jassy defended the company’s AI strategy, saying that Amazon is “very well positioned for what’s happening in AI.” Jassy cited initiatives like Trainium, the company’s custom-designed AI accelerator chips that are seeking to challenge Nvidia’s AI chips dominance, and Bedrock, Amazon’s AI model marketplace.

Meta glasses have drawn significant ire from the general public after numerous reports showed how perverts have used the technology to covertly film themselves sexually harassing unsuspecting women without their consent.

The glasses have become a mainstay for so-called pick-up artists and creators who post pranks online, also often on Meta’s social media platforms.

Earlier this month, owners of Meta’s smart glasses took to online forums to claim that their smart glasses were recording some of their conversations without their consent after a recent firmware update.

The ordeal led to a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs claimed that they were often not even aware that their Meta glasses had ca…

Binance is investigating a possible hack on Thursday, according to a company spokesperson, though it’s still unclear just how much damage has been done.

Changpeng Zao, the founder of Binance who’s no longer head of the company, tweeted: “User funds are safe!

If the early reports are accurate, Thursday’s hack of Binance would be the biggest crypto hack in history.

Binance tweeted at 6:33 p.m.

Datavault AI Inc. received bitcoin as payment in a September 2025 securities purchase agreement with Scilex Holding Company.

Not a Full-Fledged Bitcoin Treasury CompanyAccording to Datavault AI’s official investor-relations website, the company describes itself as an AI-focused technology-licensing business.

In other words, Datavault is not a pure-play, leveraged bitcoin treasury company in the mold of Strategy.

A Biconomy Exchange help-center page says the exchange is licensed by Malaysia’s Securities Commission.

That said, several other bitcoin treasury companies have abandoned the concept.

Instead, early returns seem to suggest they’ve simply figured out a way to eat their own profits without an obvious way to replace that revenue stream.

That is at least the case for Google, which, on a Wednesday earnings call, revealed that its “AI Mode” has cut into its traditional search and advertising business.

To be clear, Google’s search advertising business remains a massive moneymaker.

Basically, Google is pot committed to borrowing and spending money to develop a technology that, as of today, is hurting its actual revenue-generating businesses.

Maybe that’s a slight bit of respite for the more petty amongst us the next time you get an AI Mode response to a Google search that has a…

On February 14, 2026, 31-year-old software engineer Bowen Wan was found dead in her Seattle, Washington, apartment, the likely victim of severe uncontrolled seizures.

Her family is now laying the blame for Wan’s death squarely at the feet of OpenAI and its ChatGPT service.

Earlier this week, Wan’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI in San Francisco Superior Court.

This is only the latest instance of people going after ChatGPT for purportedly providing inaccurate or dangerous medical advice.

Wan had migrated to Seattle from China, and by 2019, she was working for Amazon as a software engineer.

Trump has cancelled his in-person rally this Oct. 31 and will instead hold “virtual rallies,” according to NewsNation’s White House correspondent Kellie Meyer.

These events give him the opportunity to highlight his accomplishments and expand his reach across the country,” a White House official reportedly told Meyer.

The Palm Beach Post reports that Trump is hosting a Halloween party at his private club Mar-a-Lago on Saturday.

There’s no evidence, of course, that people who protest President Trump are being paid to do so.

And it’s not like the White House has been particularly successful with its streaming-based outreach programs recently.

High tide floodwaters transformed stretches of dry asphalt along Marin County’s Shoreline Highway just north of San Francisco into two-foot-deep tide pools this Tuesday—coastal hazards that the National Weather Service warns will persist across the Bay Area this month into Halloween.

A sad week for Star Trek fans after the loss of original series Walter Koenig has just taken an even sadder turn.

Patrick Stewart, who brought Captain Jean-Luc Picard to screens starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation, has died at the age of 86.

Stewart was also beloved for his portrayal of Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men film series, a role he’ll reprise now posthumously when Avengers: Doomsday releases in December.

He made his mark not just on the stage and screen but as a larger-than-life pop culture presence.

The news came via an official announcement on social media:In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to:Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center …

On Monday, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center information technology teams identified a cybersecurity threat around 11 a.m. and began containment efforts.

The Chinese spaceplane has delta wings, payload bay doors, a dark heat shield, and a rear-mounted service module with power-generating solar arrays.

In other words, the design of the winged ship is, to a great degree, a copy of the X-37B spaceplane flown by the US Space Force.

Lower-resolution views of a Chinese spaceplane showing the vehicle’s general shape were publicly available before the Defense Intelligence Agency assessment.

Catch and ReleaseThe DIA report doesn’t reveal much new about what the Chinese spaceplane does in orbit.

Like the X-37B, China’s spaceplane lifts off inside the payload shroud of a conventional rocket, then operates as a satellite once in orbit.

Trading has resumed on Polymarket’s flagship international platform after a hack that drained money from the wallets of some traders.

Polymarket declined to comment when WIRED asked how many traders were impacted by the breach and how much money was lost, but said it will refund impacted traders.

The hack did not impact users on Polymarket US, the company’s newer platform for people within the United States.

This is not the first time that Polymarket traders have experienced security woes.

In June 2026, Polymarket experienced another breach, which resulted in over $2 million in losses for impacted traders.

Nothing mixes bold, standout designs with great sound and competitive pricing, and its over-ear headphones have earned some seriously high marks in WIRED reviews (a lot of 9/10s).

The Nothing Ear (3a) set is among our favorite pairs of budget wireless earbuds.

Like the Nothing over-ear headphones, these have a semi-transparent design and bold colors that stand out from the sea of sameness of an AirPods-like aesthetic.

This is the lowest price I've ever seen for the CMF Headphone Pro, one of my favorite pairs of cheap over-ear headphones.

Earlier this year, sources tell WIRED, a contractor caused a security incident at the Department of Defense by connecting a secure centralized system used by multiple intelligence agencies to their personal account for Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI coding agent.

It appears that the agent used by the contractor, who is employed by global consulting firm Accenture, then sent information about the DOD system, including login credentials, to a high-risk third-party website.

The centralized system contains controlled unclassified information (CUI), which is considered sensitive and not to be released to the public without review.

Additionally, security experts say, access to the system could allow…

The dramatic reduction in time and cost, which Sun reported in a recent paper, is among the early results that are awakening an obscure field of coding and mathematics known as formal verification.

For decades, developers have envisioned using math to prove that their software is bug-free.

Now, a wave of startups is betting that generative AI will make formal software verification both practical and essential.

Sun’s research demonstrated the technology’s potential by using AI to verify part of the code that encrypts conversations in the messaging app Signal.

Available on iOS , Chromagraph Camera was created in partnership with cinematographer Steven Yedlin and programmer Eric Cameron, and applies the same image processing Yedlin used in Johnson's films.

While most filters are typically applied after your device has already processed the image, Chromagraph Camera works directly from the RAW image instead.

Compared to photos shot with the iPhone's base camera app, Chromagraph Camera's processing creates images that are noticeably darker, with a warmer hue and less digital sharpening.

However, if you just want to apply the same colour grading on Johnson's films to your point-and-shoot iPhone pics, the Chromagraph Camera app does that easily.

Jason (Joel Edgerton) and his family haven't been having a great time of it, and the Dark Matter Season 2 finale did little to change that.

We've broken down an ending that was somehow even worse for its core characters than the finale of Season 1.

Jason and Blair successfully manage to destroy the original box by planting a device inside it.

The implication is very much that Jason and Blair have successfully destroyed the original box, as they set out to do.

It's important to remember that although the original box is destroyed, Jason now has the knowledge to build a new one.

The Moon is starting to look a little less full as we move through the Waning Gibbous phase, with the Third Quarter Moon coming up next in the lunar calendar.

As of Friday, Oct. 30, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waning Gibbous phase, with 78% of its surface visible.

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side.

Timothy Beck Werth is the Tech Editor at Mashable, where he leads coverage and assignments for the Tech and Shopping verticals.

The drop came despite the very strong revenue growth Google reported in a Q3 earnings call.

It was the largest single-day drop for Google stock, according to Yahoo Finance, and the decline erased almost $500 billion in value in a matter of hours.

Or, put it like this: If you spent $1 million every day, it would take you 1,369 years to spend $500 billion.

What is it like to be fucked by a Wicker Husband who looks and sounds like Alexander Skarsgård?

Wicker 4DX gives audiences as close to a simulated experience as you get without breaking decency laws.

Alexander Skarsgard and Olivia Colman star as Wicker Husband and Fisherwoman in "Wicker."

It attracted a female audience that hungers for romance, and not just sex scenes (though yes, also sex scenes).

And now, Wicker 4DX will nest among these treasured memories.

Thanks to South Park, we now know where some of that data is going.

In a scene from the newest episode, the kids learn about GTA 6, which actually includes some new gameplay footage we haven't seen before, not even courtesy of Cyberleek.

Because it's South Park, though, the footage consists entirely of a dog pooping, the protagonist Jason picking up the poop, and Jason hitting an NPC in the face with it.

As a bonus, it's narrated by Tish Hicks, a voice actress who narrated a gameplay trailer for GTA 5 many years ago, per IGN.

We reached out to Rockstar to confirm if the dog poop clip was legit, and we'll update this story if the company responds.

Curry Barker, the director behind the hit horror film Obsession, just published a new horror short on YouTube. The short, titled "Mama Bear," is nearly five minutes long.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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…

New Amazon Echo Dot devices have arrived, with a notable added feature: A built-in Eero Wi-Fi extender that adds up to 1,000 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage to your home network.

On Wednesday, Amazon unveiled the Echo Dot along with several other new Alexa devices, including the Echo Show 16 smart home hub, the Echo Time smart alarm clock, and the Alexa Photo Frame.

These new Amazon smart home devices arrive just weeks after Apple unveiled its new smart home forays, including an Echo Show competitor called the Home View and the Echo Dot-like HomePod mini.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysT- Mobile’s new T-Mix plans allow customers to customize their phone plan’s benefits.

T-Mobile’s phone plans just got a facelift, and now it’s easier than ever to pick and choose the benefits you want.

Existing T-Mobile Experience 2.0 plans will not be available to new customers, but current customers on those plans will be allowed to maintain them.

More from ZDNETT-Mobile’s new offerings let customers pick and choose which perks they want, rather than having specific benefits tied to certain plan tiers.

T-Mobile’s previous Experience plan options provided fixed benefits, much like plans from Verizon and other carriers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The company also reported an adjusted profit for that period.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Apple had also found no OpenAI files on its servers.

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

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

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

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

OpenAI has put compute and infrastructure under one executive.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The OpenAI engineer charged over a hidden recording device had a one-way ticket out of the United States booked for three days after his arrest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Uncertainty weighs on the stockThe legal status of sports event contracts is still being fought in the courts, with …

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

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

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

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

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

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

AI allegations and a shareholder reviewThe Louisiana Gaming Control Board’s review follows a New York Times report alleging that DraftKings used AI to direct promotions and bonus inducements toward customers considered more likely to bet more.

The Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division found information indicating that some DraftKings shareholders with stakes of 5% or more had not completed customary suitability reviews.

He denied that the compan…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings says Massachusetts’ proposed historic horse racing machines risk weakening the 2011 casino framework by adding competition for customers without the obligations imposed on licensed casinos.

Massachusetts authorized three resort casinos and one slots facility under that model; the House later approved an economic development bill amendment that would let horse racing licensees offer historic horse racing machines.

His warning focuses in particular on HHR machines, which replay completed horse races through terminals.

Massachusetts has collected approximately $2.53 billion in taxes and assessments from casino operators since the facilities opened.

Prediction markets let users buy and sell contracts tied to real-world outcomes.

Its data and distribution role in prediction markets is distinct from operating an exchange.

He said the category could expand Sportradar’s U.S. total addressable market by opening new states, attracting players and increasing sports engagement.

The sponsored article also names FanDuel and DraftKings as sportsbook operators developing prediction-market products.

DraftKings’ move reflects the broader commercial push into the category, including attention to how prediction-market products may generate revenue.

Google’s certification rulesGoogle added a section on prediction markets to its main Google Ads policies document in the week before CDC Gaming published its report.

Underdog sued Tennessee, its attorney general and the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council after receiving a cease-and-desist order over sports-event contracts.

Underdog has sued seven states over efforts to stop its sports-event contracts: Washington, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Ohio, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

The competing approaches to federal and state oversight of prediction markets have left operators facing both legal challenges and location-specific advertising limits.

Awareness remained limited: 42% had heard o…

The pattern forms part of more than $600 million in combined volume across the platform’s Ethiopia and Romania election markets, where trading continued after major electoral events.

Polymarket kept the original election market open while a separate market ran for the subsequent vote, creating another period in which contracts linked to a disrupted process remained available.

Rajiv Sethi, a Barnard College economics professor who studies prediction markets, and colleagues developed an algorithm that flagged nearly all of the Romanian market’s volume as suspicious; during certain weeks, it classified 99.6% as wash trading.

Oversight questions remainSethi has described the Romanian activity a…

Apple’s new touchscreen MacBook Pro brings plenty of welcome upgrades, but one of the best things about this week’s launch is what the company decided not to change.

Though my 2023 M2 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro is still a great machine, its 16GB of RAM is starting to feel a bit cramped.

Which makes Apple’s decision to keep the non-touchscreen M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro for sale all that more welcome and unexpected.

Even when Apple introduced the Touch Bar back in 2016, the only non-Touch Bar option left was the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Yes, there is plenty new with the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display.

Apple today announced that it is lowering its standard App Store commission in Taiwan, following discussions with the country’s Fair Trade Commission.

In the European Union, Apple recently overhauled its App Store fees and business terms to address concerns raised by the European Commission following a lengthy back-and-forth over its compliance with the Digital Markets Act.

Apple unveiled its “biggest update ever” for the iPad mini this week, introducing a thinner, lighter design and an OLED display.

While the new iPad mini features an OLED display, it doesn’t support ProMotion.

One of the things that’s really cool about OLED is it actually has this really fast pixel response time.

In addition to being lighter and thinner, the new iPad mini is also IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, a first for an iPad.

The new iPad mini is available to pre-order now, with the first orders arriving on November 6.

Конец этого года кажется будет невероятным. Эппл официально объявили новый MacBook Pro, c PROLED XDR монитором. Но это мелочи, самое важное это тач-экран. Через примерно 10 лет после того как тач экраны появились на ноутах с Windows :)Если отставить в сторону шутки - я пошел копить деньги, это очень крутое обновление в первую очередь из-за качества экрана и его яркости. В остальном все предсказуемо, процессор M5 Pro версия с 14" стоит $2900, 16" чуть дороже - $3400.

Anthropic наконец-то подались на IPO (заполнили форму S-1). И это значит очень интересное: судя по всему у них наконец-то сошлась бизнес-модель. Они сейчас тратят порядка половины триллиона долларов на датацентры у Гугла, AWS и тп. Подача на IPO означает что видимо они верят в заработок более пол триллиона в год (сейчас они зарабатывают почти в 10 раз меньше).

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.

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.
