Всего союз запретил транзакции с участием 20 российских банков.

В перечне уже более 500 сервисов.

За это выступает Минфин, а Минпромторг предлагает одномоментное увеличение ставки налога до 22%.

Последнему пришлось опровергать сотрудничество.

Это быстро и просто, но вы теряете и в скорости, и в качестве.

GPU умеют быстро перемножать матрицы float32 и float16, а для LLM и нужно перемножать много таких матриц, поэтому выбор был из этих двух форматов.

Gemma4 представлена в 4 варианта: E2B, E4B, 26B-A4B, 31B, и в большинстве случаев интересна будет 26B-A4B, а не слабая E4B.

REAP довольно новая техника, и не так распространена и пока для неё редко делают динамические кванты, поэтому для тестов Q4_K_M.

В linux нужно обновить cuda и драйвера, убедиться, что в toolkit и в драйверах нужная cuda.

Потом долго выяснять, почему усилитель «не тянет», хотя на самом деле проблема в старом кабеле с плохим контактом.

Схемотехнику отправляют скриншот спектра и сообщают, что на отстройке в десять мегагерц внеполосные излучения превышают маску стандарта на пять децибел.

Тот демодулирует несущую, восстанавливает цифровые символы и для каждого символа определяет разницу между фактически принятым и идеальным положением.

Производитель чипа даёт параметры для идеальной разводки на многослойной плате с премиальным диэлектриком, с идеальным питанием и с термостатированием.

Массовый продукт делают на плате попроще, с более дешёвыми компонентами и с компромиссами по компоновке.

Население около 23 миллионов — не маленькое, но и не прям большое.

Вопрос тогда стоял не “как стать богатыми?”, а “как не исчезнуть?”.

Но как это сделать?

Эту идею Чжан мог попробовать реализовать в США, но не стал — и не зря.

В Америке 80-х крупные игроки смотрели на модель “мы просто производим” как на что-то второсортное: нет ни продукта, ни бренда.

Самое страшное в этой истории даже не в том, что очередной рынок пытаются перекроить под крупных.

И в очень многих из них связь держится не на красивых презентациях, а на конкретных местных компаниях.

Они обеспечивают связанность страны не в лозунгах, а в кабеле, в оборудовании, в людях, в выездах, в ремонтах, в тех самых сетях, которые почему-то вспоминают только тогда, когда всё ломается.

Если работающая региональная сеть исчезает, а на её месте не возникает ничего лучше, значит произошло не развитие, а разрушение.

Если под видом реформы создаются условия, при которых рынок сжимается до круга крупнейших игроков, это не оздоровление отрасли.

Резюмируем схему работы бесключевого доступа: машина запрашивает ключ по LF-каналу (challenge), а ключ отвечает по UHF, передавая криптографически подписанный ответ (response).

Второй находится рядом с машиной и глушит тот самый легитимный сигнал, не давая ему дойти до приемника сигнализации.

Источник изображенияВ итоге «сим-сим» не открывается, и хозяин авто машинально нажимает на кнопку сигнализации снова и снова.

Тридцать три тысячи писем, разосланных высоким светловолосым пареньком, которого, как выяснит со временем полиция, зовут Юлиус Кивимяки, и которого вот уже несколько лет безуспешно разыскивал Интерпол.

Частные клиники и кабинеты практикующих специалистов тоже подходят далеко не всем: и дорого, и доступны они не во всех городах.

Сервис начал пользоваться спросом, база клиентов быстро росла, и Vastaamo вскоре стала субподрядчиком государственной системы здравоохранения.

Получив копию базы данных, Кивимяки связался с Vastaamo и потребовал у Тапио выкуп за нераспространение информации, но компания отказалась платить.

Регулятор констатировал, что Vastaamo не внедрила даже самых базовых защитных …

Как и в других моих статьях, я решил что-то собрать полностью с нуля, а именно – машинку на радиоуправлении.

Изначально я не предполагал, как и в какую конфигурацию разрастется мой макет, потому на плате появилось 4 полумоста.

Как и писал выше, для первых тестов, буду использовать двигатель постоянного тока, но заложу возможность использования BLDC, причем как с датчиками холла, так и с возможностью слежения за фазами.

Цифровая часть запустилась, теперь необходимо организовать канал связи, но с чем?

Сигнал аварийной остановки работы таймера можно подключить как снаружи, так и с внутренних источников.

Пару лет назад я задался серьёзно этим вопрос и решил разобраться, что же действительно работает, а что обычные выдумки "бизнес-коучей" и шарлатанов.

Какие-то методы подошли мне, но не подойдут вам и наоборот, этот путь подразумевает под собой постоянные эксперименты и наблюдения за реакцией своего тела.

Я как "айтишник" работал в штабе писарем, и я редко заступал в обычные наряды, но я почти всю службу был в патрулях.

Переработки, логично что для лечения депрессии нужны деньги, на таблетки и врачей, и я решил работать, да так, чтоб наверняка.

Исходя из данных выше, вы можете понять, что единственное что я преследовал от спорта - внешний вид.

Если бы вы не перемещались по времени совсем, то в следующей секунде вас действительно не было бы.

Если бы мы попробовали сложить скорость света и пространственную скорость 200 км/ч — мы бы получили нарушение теории относительности.

Представьте, что вы и есть тот человек, который придумывает время.

А предельная скорость любой частицы — это скорость света.

И самое удивительное — вы не способны этого осознать, ведь когда в вашем мозгу нейроны, перетекая, донесут до вас мысль, что время идёт, вы не заметите этого самого замедления и не почувствуете себя в slow‑mo.

Кажется, что и в больших задачах качество будет высоким, код оптимизированным и т. д.За примером далеко ходить не надо.

SIMD-friendly кодКомментарий к функции IsSpanBlank обещает, что код составлен из расчёта облегчить компилятору задачу его векторизации, например, с помощью SSE-инструкций.

На мой взгляд, этот код не лучше и не хуже простейшего варианта его реализации.

inline bool IsSpanBlank_Simple(const char* data, size_t len) { for (size_t i = 0; i < len; ++i) { unsigned char c = static_cast(data[i]); if (c != ' ' && c != '\t' && c != '' && c != '\r') { return false; } } return true; }Я бы написал именно такой код.

По отдельности мелочь, конечно, но если таких вставок много, то почему бы…

На основе этого альтернативная реальность строится на гипотезе о том, что если бы Linux вышел не под GPL, а под одной из BSD-лицензий, ядро можно было бы намного свободнее забирать в закрытые системы.

Если бы Linux с самого начала жил под BSD-лицензией, компании и разработчики собирали бы свои платформы на базе ядра и… закрывали код.

В BSD-сценарии их роль была бы слабее, потому что слишком многое уходило бы в закрытые корпоративные ветки.

Если бы Android опирался на Linux под BSD, производителям было бы проще замыкать систему ещё глубже внутри своих контуров.

Проиграл бы Linux под BSD?

Не как упражнение, чтобы вспомнить основы, а буквально обучить нейросеть, ни разу не посчитав градиент.

Собственно, это и есть стохастическая механика XIX века.

Это уже не подбор чисел наугад, а физическая интуиция, хотя, не вдаваясь в детали, это тоже кажется своего рода угадыванием.

Первому анимационному фильму про зелёного огра стукнуло 25 лет, и LEGO впервые заколлабилась с Universal, чтобы порадовать фанатов.

Набор со Шреком, Ослом и Котом в сапогах состоит из 1403 деталей.

Второй набор попроще — это фигурки из серии BrickHeadz за $25 (~ 2000 рублей).

В продажу всё поступит 1 июня, а на официальном сайте открыт предзаказ.

Разработчики перевезли культовую «Четвёрку» на новую версию движка Anvil, освежили дизайн миссий, перерисовали интерфейс и прикрутили слэшерную боёвку, сохранив при этом оригинальные анимации добиваний.

В ремейк вошла большая часть контента оригинальной игры за исключением мультиплеера и дополнения Freedom Cry.

Сюжетную ветку в современности тоже вырезали, чтобы не портить темп игры, зато добавили пару новых квестов и испытаний.

С обновлённой графикой прилетели новые системки: для запуска на рекомендуемых настройках понадобится 16 ГБ оперативки и видеокарта на уровне NVIDIA RTX 3060.

То же можно повторить про iPhone 13 и линейку iPhone 15.

Видно, что люди не спешат обновляться.

Компания стилизовала часы под зеленоватую стеклянную бутылку «Колы» столетней давности.

Лимитка с лаконичным названием GA-2100CC-3AJR поступит в продажу в мае, после юбилея одного из старейших производителей прохладительных напитков.

Дни недели показывает уже современная красная бутылочка, а циферблат часов выкрашен в цвет самой газировки.

Часы работают от двух батареек типа SR726W — их должно хватить примерно на три года.

Всё это счастье поставляется в футляре, оформленном под винтажный автомат с газировкой.

Базовый флагман компании получит парочку даунгрейдов относительно iPhone 17.

Экран и чип у новинки окажутся немного проще, — сообщает китайский инсайдер Fixed Focus Digital.

Портал MacRumors полагает, что яркость дисплея iPhone 18 будет чуть ниже (у iPhone 17 — 3000 нит), а чип получит на одно графическое ядро меньше.

Если информация инсайдера подтвердится, то выбор между базовым iPhone 18 и iPhone 18e станет тяжелее.

В пользу базы всё ещё будет играть «островок», больший аккумулятор, ультраширик и ProMotion.

CEO Qualcomm Кристиано Амон прибыл в Сеул для переговоров с руководством сразу двух южнокорейских техногигантов — Samsung и SK Hynix.

Главной темой встречи стал запуск производства чипов Snapdragon на передовом 2-нм техпроцессе Samsung, который та уже обкатала на своём Exynos 2600.

Qualcomm не обращалась за помощью к Samsung аж с 2022 года и предпочитала сотрудничать с TSMC, но тотальная загрузка тайваньских мощностей TSMC на фоне ИИ-лихорадки толкнула Qualcomm в руки к Samsung.

К слуху стоит отнестись скептически: компании ещё не успели прийти к финальному соглашению, да и Qualcomm может использовать переговоры с Samsung как рычаг давления на TSMC, чтобы сбросить цену.

Время, впрочем, игра…

Ситуация в индустрии такая: кто больше денег потратил на токены для ИИ, у того пипирка длиннее.

Вон глава стартапа Swan AI гордится тем, что у него в команде из четырёх человек нет продажников и бюджета на платную рекламу, зато $113 тысяч уходит на подписку Claude.

Это назвали «токенмаксинг» — бизнесы хвалятся не результатами, заработанными деньгами или другими достигнутыми показателями, а тем, как часто сотрудники используют ИИ.

Индустрия пока в эйфории от того, что нашла способ заставить одного сотрудника работать за целый отдел.

Ждём, когда компании придут к тому, что массовые увольнения ради оптимизации были ошибкой и на замену ИИ-агентам срочно будут нанимать людей обратно.

Apple ещё и обойдёт таким образом Google и других конкурентов, которые свои очки откладывают до конца года.

Помимо очков, Apple также работает над другими носимыми устройствами: AirPods с ИК-камерами (видео не снимают, зато помогают ИИ ориентироваться) и кулоном с камерой и микрофоном.

Если прогнозы подтвердятся, то это будет очень агрессивный год со стороны Apple: MacBook Neo, скупка памяти, да ещё и нативные очки для iPhone.

Главное, чтобы умная Siri наконец появилась, иначе никому эти носимые гаджеты Apple нужны не будут.

Двумя неделями ранее Apple удалила приложение Telega из App Store, снесла аккаунт разработчика и затем начала помечать приложение как вредоносное.

Теперь разработчики «Телеги» требуют восстановить справедливость: вернуть приложение обратно и разослать пользователям уведомления о том, что сторонний Telegram-клиент не угрожает их безопасности.

(…) при наличии системного уведомления о «вредоносном ПО» обновление может сопровождаться ошибкой загрузки.

Этот эффект возникает на стороне системных процессов и не связан с работой приложения Telega.

С 1 мая в силу вступят новые тарифы Системы быстрых платежей (СБП), и появился вопрос: «А будут ли обычные граждане платить за каждый перевод?»Суть в том, что ранее банки пользовались структурой СБП бесплатно, а с мая ЦБ начнёт брать с организаций за это комиссию.

Причём платить будет и тот банк, который списывает средства, и тот, который зачисляет.

И тут уже ответственность за то, перекладывать ли комиссию за условную покупку кофе через QR-код, принимает сама организация.

Больнее всего от новых мер будет корпоративному сектору, у которого в день огромное количество транзакций и выплат, с которых нужно будет заплатить не просто копеечку, а миллионы рублей.

С 1 октября по закону о платформенной экономике онлайн-площадки начнут ежемесячно передавать в ФНС данные о продажах селлеров, а также проверять маркировку и сертификаты на продукцию.

Это увеличит стоимость продукции (одежды и товаров для дома) почти на 30 %, что сравняет её с розницей, — считают эксперты «Известий».

Но будет ли это значить, что поток покупателей вернётся в розничные магазины?

Собеседники «Известий» говорят, что это лишь приведёт к снижению интереса к покупкам на маркетплейсах.

Сейчас цены на товары с онлайн-площадок ниже розницы примерно 15−30 %, что позволяет получить «лёгкий дофамин» и успокоить нервы в условиях внешнего напряжения.

Вместе с экспертами разобрались, как действовать бизнесу и людям в условиях повышения и понижения ставки, чтобы сберечь и приумножить свои финансы.

На фоне смягчения рублёвые сбережения становятся менее привлекательными, усиливается давление на курс, а на рынке ценных бумаг могут появляться перегретые сегменты.

Ассоциация представителей электронной торговли (АПЭТ) обратилась к главе правительства Михаилу Мишустину с инициативой увеличивать НДС на импортные товары постепенно, сообщает «Коммерсант».

Участники рынка прогнозируют, что единовременное повышение ставки до 22% приведёт к резкому скачку стоимости товаров из-за рубежа и сокращению их ассортимента.

Эндрю Ланн (Andrew Lunn), мэйнтейнер 9 подсистем, отвечающий за сетевые драйверы в ядре Linux, опубликовал набор патчей, удаляющих из ядра все драйверы для Ethernet-адаптеров с интерфейсами ISA и PCMCIA. Отмечается, что ранее старые драйверы не требовали особых усилий по сопровождению, но с появлением продвинутых AI-инструментов и систем fuzzing-тестирования, используемых новичками для выявления ошибок в ядре, нагрузка на сопровождающих увеличилась.

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

Кент Оверстрит (Kent Overstreet) опубликовал выпуск файловой системы Bcachefs 1.38.0. Выпуск охватывает два пакета: bcachefs-kernel-dkms с модулем ядра, собираемым при помощи системы DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support), и bcachefs-tools с запускаемой в пространстве пользователя утилитой bcachefs, реализующей команды для создания (mkfs), монтирования, восстановления и проверки ФС. Пакеты собраны для Arch Linux и ожидаются для Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE и NixOS. DKMS-модуль поддерживает работу с ядрами Linux, начиная с 6.16.

But achieving interoperability this way sacrifices the system-level benefits of working within a domain-aligned model.

Shielding a programmer from domain misalignment is a very hard problem, and the best way to do it is to invent a sealed, domain-aligned model, and present that new model to the programmer.

The pursuit and usage of sealed, domain-aligned models will continue, whether it is humans or …

The US is preparing to crack down on China’s allegedly “industrial-scale theft of American artificial intelligence labs’ intellectual property,” the Financial Times reported Thursday.

Since the launch of DeepSeek—a Chinese model that OpenAI claimed was trained using outputs from its models—other AI firms have accused global rivals of using a method called distillation to steal their IP.

For the US, these distillation attacks supposedly threaten to help China quickly catch up in the AI race.

So far, AI firms have alleged that such attacks violate their terms of service, but Congress may update laws soon to further equip US companies fighting the alleged fraud.

Shortly after their discovery, carbon nanotubes seemed to be a material wonder.

There were metallic and semiconducting forms; they were tiny and incredibly light; and they could only be broken by tearing apart chemical bonds.

It was hard to get a pure population of metallic or semiconducting forms.

Today’s issue of Science includes a paper describing the addition of a chemical to carbon nanotube bundles to boost their ability to carry current to levels closer to those of copper.

There are also multi-walled carbon nanotubes, where a second nanotube (and maybe third, and maybe more beyond that) is wrapped around the first.

The gravitational constant, affectionally known as “Big G,” is one of the most fundamental constants of our universe.

Its value describes the strength of the gravitational force acting on two masses separated by a given distance—or if you want to be relativistic about it, the amount a given mass curves space-time.

Physicists have a solid ballpark figure for the value of Big G, but they’ve been trying to measure it ever more precisely for more than two centuries, each effort yielding slightly different values.

So Big G is the black sheep of the family and a point of frustration for physicists keen on precision metrology.

A relatively new ransomware family is using a novel approach to hype the strength of the encryption used to scramble files—making, or at least claiming, that it is protected against attacks by quantum computers.

The Kyber ransomware name comes from the alternate name for ML-KEM, which is also Kyber.

For the rest of the article, Kyber refers to the ransomware; the algorithm is referred to as ML-KEM.

Kyber was using ML-KEM to conceal the key used to encrypt victims’ data with AES-256, a symmetric cryptographic standard that is also quantum-proof.

Crypto scammers are targeting the thousands of ships stranded near the Strait of Hormuz—and at least one ship that faced Iranian gunfire may have been tricked into believing it had paid Iran for safe passage.

The first warning of such a crypto scam came from the Greek maritime risk management company MARISKS on April 20, according to Reuters.

The company alerted shipowners that scammers posing as Iranian authorities had sent messages to shipping companies asking for “transit fee” payments in bitcoin or tether.

There are about 2,000 ships and 20,000 mariners still stranded near the strait.

That ship may not be alone in falling for a crypto scam while seeking safe passage.

As a result, it was a more profitable quarter than last year, making $477 million in net income.

Automotive revenue grew by the same percentage to $16.2 billion, and Tesla saw a 42 percent increase in services (like Supercharger fees) and other revenue.

But its energy storage business shrank in Q1, and revenues from this division fell by 12 percent to $2.4 billion.

An operating margin of 4.2 percent is far from the double-digit margins Tesla once boasted.

Although the company brought in more money from automotive sales, it only made $380 million from selling regulatory credits, compared to $595 million in Q1 2025.

Microsoft is planning to get rid of more US employees via its first voluntary buyout program, CNBC reports.

A report from March suggested that Meta was planning to downsize by up to 20 percent, although no timeline was given.

Not only does the Puss minifig look great, right down to his stylish hat and dual-molded legs (rather than printing to give him his boots!

Van Dyke is the first person to be charged with insider trading on a prediction market in the United States.

The arrest comes just weeks after Department of Justice prosecutors met with Polymarket about potential insider tradition violations.

In February, Israeli authorities arrested two citizens, an army reservist and a civilian, for allegedly leaking classified information by making wagers on Polymarket related to military operations.

According to court documents, Van Dyke has been an active duty US soldier since September 2008 and rose to the level of master sergeant in 2023.

“I have been crystal clear that anyone who engages in fraud, manipulation, or insider trading in any of our marke…

Jimmy Kimmel's direct appeal to Donald Trump to let him host the upcoming White House Correspondents' Dinner sadly went unanswered — the event, which the president is planning to attend for the first time in a decade, is being hosted by mentalist Oz Pearlman.

"Look at you, all dressed up in formalwear, dresses, tuxedos — I haven't seen this much black since every page of the Trump-Epstein files," Kimmel says.

"By the way, in the unfortunate event that our president has a medical emergency tonight, do we have a doctor— I'm sorry, do we have a Jesus in the house?

I get why you think you're Jesus.

Kimmel doesn't just focus on Trump, either, also spending a little time on other key White House …

Eric Trump's robotics company reportedly landed a $24 million deal with the Pentagon, with Foundation Future Industries contracted to deliver its Phantom MK1 humanoid robots for use by the U.S military.

If the president's son receiving millions for his tech startup from the government sounds like a conflict of interest, Seth Meyers agrees with you.

During his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night, the host examined the deal made with Trump, the company's chief strategy advisor.

"Now, for anyone surprised that Eric Trump's title is 'chief strategy advisor,' I can explain it was too hard to fit 'dipshit who just happens to be the president's son' on the business card," said Meyers.

For several weeks, a growing chorus of developers and AI power users claimed that Anthropic’s flagship models were losing their edge. Users across GitHub, X, and Reddit reported a phenomenon they described as "AI shrinkflation"—a perceived degradation where Claude seemed less capable of sustained reasoning, more prone to hallucinations, and increasingly wasteful with tokens. Critics pointed to a measurable shift in behavior, alleging that the model had moved from a "research-first" approach to a lazier, "edit-first" style that could no longer be trusted for complex engineering. While the company initially pushed back against claims of "nerfing" the model to manage demand, the mounting evide…

After months of rumors and reports that OpenAI was developing a new, more powerful AI large language model for use in ChatGPT and through its application programming interface (API), allegedly codenamed "Spud" internally, the company has today unveiled its latest offering under the more formal name GPT-5.5.And to likely no one's surprise, it's hardly a "potato" in the disparaging sense of the word: GPT-5.5 retakes the lead for OpenAI in generally available LLMs, coming ahead of rivals Anthropic's and Google's latest public offerings, and even beating the private Anthropic Claude Mythos Preview model narrowly on one benchmark (essentially a statistical tie). "It’s definitely our strongest mo…

For the past eighteen months, the corporate world has been obsessed with the "builder" phase of the generative AI revolution. Enterprises have raced to deploy autonomous agents to handle everything from customer support to complex codebase refactoring. However, as these digital workers proliferate, a new, more structural problem has emerged: fragmentation. Agents built on LangChain cannot easily hand off tasks to those built on CrewAI; a Salesforce-embedded agent has no native way to coordinate with a custom-built Python script running on a private cloud. Today, a new startup, BAND (also known as Thenvoi AI Ltd.) exited stealth with $17 million in Seed funding to provide the "interaction in…

OpenAI introduced a new paradigm and product today that is likely to have huge implications for enterprises seeking to adopt and control fleets of AI agent workers.Called "Workspace Agents," OpenAI's new offering essentially allows users on its ChatGPT Business ($20 per user per month) and variably priced Enterprise, Edu and Teachers subscription plans to design or select from pre-existing agent templates that can take on work tasks across third-party apps and data sources including Slack, Google Drive, Microsoft apps, Salesforce, Notion, Atlassian Rovo, and other popular enterprise applications.Put simply: these agents can be created and accessed from ChatGPT, but users can also add them t…

The era of enterprises stitching together prompt chains and shadow agents is nearing its end as more options for orchestrating complex multi-agent systems emerge. As organizations move AI agents into production, the question remains: "how will we manage them?"Google and Amazon Web Services offer fundamentally different answers, illustrating a split in the AI stack. Google’s approach is to run agentic management on the system layer, while AWS’s harness method sets up in the execution layer. The debate on how to manage and control gained new energy this past month as competing companies released or updated their agent builder platforms—Anthropic with the new Claude Managed Agents and OpenAI w…

Enterprise teams building multi-agent AI systems may be paying a compute premium for gains that don't hold up under equal-budget conditions. New Stanford University research finds that single-agent systems match or outperform multi-agent architectures on complex reasoning tasks when both are given the same thinking token budget.However, multi-agent systems come with the added baggage of computational overhead. Because they typically use longer reasoning traces and multiple interactions, it is often unclear whether their reported gains stem from architectural advantages or simply from consuming more resources.To isolate the true driver of performance, researchers at Stanford University compa…

In a significant shift toward local-first privacy infrastructure, OpenAI has released Privacy Filter, a specialized open-source model designed to detect and redact personally identifiable information (PII) before it ever reaches a cloud-based server. Launched today on AI code sharing community Hugging Face under a permissive Apache 2.0 license, the tool addresses a growing industry bottleneck: the risk of sensitive data "leaking" into training sets or being exposed during high-throughput inference.By providing a 1.5-billion-parameter model that can run on a standard laptop or directly in a web browser, the company is effectively handing developers a "privacy-by-design" toolkit that function…

Every frontier AI lab right now is rationing two things: electricity and compute. Most of them buy their compute for model training from the same supplier, at the steep gross margins that have turned Nvidia into one of the most valuable companies in the world. Google does not.On Tuesday night, inside a private gathering at F1 Plaza in Las Vegas, Google previewed its eighth-generation Tensor Processing Units. The pitch: two custom silicon designs shipping later this year, each purpose-built for a different half of the modern AI workload. TPU 8t targets training for frontier models, and TPU 8i targets the low-latency, memory-hungry world of agentic inference and real-time sampling.Amin Vahdat…

When startup fundraising platform VentureCrowd began deploying AI coding agents, they saw the same gains as other enterprises: they cut the front-end development cycle by 90% in some projects.However, it didn’t come easy or without a lot of trial and error. VentureCrowd’s first challenge revolved around data and context quality, since Diego Mogollon, chief product officer at VentureCrowd, told VentureBeat that “agents reason against whatever data they can access at runtime” and would then be confidently “wrong” because they’re only basing their knowledge on the context given to them.Their other roadblock, like many others, was messy data and unclear processes. Similar to context, Mogollon s…

Google on Monday unveiled the most significant upgrade to its autonomous research agent capabilities since the product's debut, launching two new agents — Deep Research and Deep Research Max — that for the first time allow developers to fuse open web data with proprietary enterprise information through a single API call, produce native charts and infographics inside research reports, and connect to arbitrary third-party data sources through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).The release, built on Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro model, marks an inflection point in the rapidly intensifying race to build AI systems that can autonomously conduct the kind of exhaustive, multi-source research that has trad…

Decision makers at 72% of organizations claim to have two or more AI platforms that they identify as their "primary" layer, according to a survey of 40 enterprise companies conducted by VentureBeat last month, revealing real gaps in security and control. For enterprise management and technical leaders, and especially security leaders, these multiple AI platforms extend the attack surfaces of most enterprises at a time when AI-driven attacks have become increasingly potent.The multiple platforms — which include offerings from hyperscaler or AI labs like Microsoft Azure, Google, OpenAI or Anthropic, or big application companies like Epic, Workday or ServiceNow — reflect a state of sprawl that…

Many people use the popular Signal app to send and receive encrypted text messages.

On Wednesday, Apple released its latest minor update for iOS (and iPadOS).

However, the reason for the update lies in the Signal app itself and in how the feds were able to skirt its security.

Also: Apple's iOS 26.4.1 update enables Stolen Device Protection by default now - grab it todayApparently, Sharp had left the default Signal notification settings unchanged.

Though Apple has so far not acknowledged the Signal incident as the reason for iOS 26.4.2, Signal was open about it.

ARK Investment Management, Cathie Wood’s thematic fund, indicated interest in purchasing up to $105 million worth of shares at the IPO price.

The oversubscription and above-range pricing reflect investor conviction in the nuclear renaissance narrative, which has been building momentum since major technology companies began making long-dated nuclear power purchase agreements.

For context, 5 gigawatts is roughly the output of five large conventional nuclear power plants, or approximately equivalent to the electricity demand of a mid-sized American city.

Nuclear power, specifically the small modular reactors that X-Energy is developing, offers carbon-free baseload generation in a physically co…

The combined entity is intended to supply both businesses and public authorities with digital services as an alternative to US te…

V4-Pro claims top performance on coding and maths among open models, trails only Gemini 3.1-Pro for world knowledge, and falls “marginally short” of GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1-Pro, a gap DeepSeek says is “approximately 3 to 6 months.” Both models are open-source.

DeepSeek’s own benchmark positions V4-Pro as the strongest open-source model in coding and mathematics, with performance that trails only Google’s closed-source Gemini 3.1-Pro in world knowledge.

DeepSeek worked with Chinese AI chipmakers Huawei and Cambricon to optimise V4 for their latest hardware, according to Reuters, citing The Information.

The V4 release does not end that geopolitical constraint, but it tests its limits in a comm…

Verda, the Helsinki-based AI cloud infrastructure company formerly known as DataCrunch, has raised $117 million in new funding.

Verda’s product is vertically integrated AI cloud infrastructure: the company handles everything from the physical servers and data centres to the tools and services developers use to build and deploy AI.

Verda holds Nvidia Preferred Partner status, placing it among a select group of cloud providers with privileged access to Nvidia’s latest GPU hardware.

The new $117 million round represents a near-doubling of total capital raised in a single step.

The company rebranded from DataCrunch to Verda in November 2025, signalling a shift in positioning from a GPU compute …

When Norway submitted its social media age limit bill for public consultation in June 2025, the proposed threshold was 15, not 16.

The government has now reviewed that feedback and has moved the age threshold up by one year, aligning Norway with Australia rather than with the EU’s GDPR minimum age of 13 for data processing consent.

Australia’s social media ban for under-16s, the first of its kind in the world, came into force in December 2025.

The exemption question is, in practice, one of the most technically and politically contested aspects of any social media age ban: the line between a “social media platform” and a messaging service, gaming community, or sports coordination tool is blu…

Summary: Meta is cutting approximately 8,000 employees (10% of its workforce) beginning 20 May, cancelling 6,000 open roles, and planning additional cuts for H2 2026.

Meta told employees on Wednesday that it will cut approximately 8,000 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce, beginning on 20 May.

The company is also cancelling 6,000 open requisitions it had planned to fill, bringing the effective headcount reduction to 14,000 positions.

Meta is reorganising teams into AI-focused “pods” and transferring engineers from across the company into the Applied AI organisation.

Consumer EV interest is rising (Edmunds: 23.8% consideration) but overall US EV sales fell 28% YoY after the $7,500 federal tax credit expired.

Tesla reclaimed the global quarterly EV sales crown from BYD, but the 50,000-vehicle production surplus and the delivery miss complicate the victory.

Total new EV sales in the US fell to between 212,600 and 216,400 units in Q1 2026, down 28% from 296,304 in Q1 2025.

But in the US market that the Bloomberg segment addressed, the story is simpler and less flattering than “high gas prices help Tesla.” High gas prices are creating interest in electric vehicles.

Tesla is winning the US EV market by losing less than everyone else, in a market that has con…

Summary: SoftBank is seeking a $10 billion margin loan backed by its OpenAI shares at SOFR + 425 basis points (~7.88%), a two-year term with one-year extension.

SoftBank is seeking a $10 billion margin loan backed by its OpenAI shares, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, adding another layer of debt to the most leveraged bet in the history of artificial intelligence.

This is not SoftBank’s first margin loan, nor its most complex financing arrangement of the year.

The $10 billion margin loan sits on top of that.

The OpenAI margin loan is priced at SOFR plus 425 basis points, nearly triple the spread.

Rilian, a McLean, Virginia-based startup building agentic AI systems integration for defence and national security customers, has raised $17.5 million in seed and seed extension funding.

First In is an investor in Anduril, the US defence technology company founded by Palmer Luckey.

Tamarack Global focuses on defence and national security.

The combination of US and Israeli defence-tech investors alongside Gulf-focused capital signals that Rilian is explicitly targeting the US-Israel-GCC defence technology triangle that has grown in prominence since the Abraham Accords.

Nick Pompeo’s connections to US national security and defence procurement circles are material context for a company whose c…

The Deterring American AI Model Theft Act (H.R.

OpenAI’s terms of service explicitly prohibit using outputs to create “imitation frontier AI models.” DeepSeek has not publicly responded to the allegations.

A $2.5 billion scheme to smuggle Nvidia AI chips to China through Super Micro’s co-founder was charged in March.

Proposals to tag AI chips with unique identifiers represent a third layer, tracking hardware flows to prevent diversion.

The US wants China to stop distilling its AI models, stop smuggling its chips, and stop fine-tuning its open-source models for military use.

The oversubscribed financing, led by Triatomic Capital, caps a restructuring that addressed $18.7 million in debt, converted $10 million of that to equity, and preserved 60-plus patents.

Zapata Quantum announced on 23 April 2026 that it has completed an oversubscribed $15 million financing led by Triatomic Capital, with participation from other strategic investors.

The company rebranded from Zapata Computing to Zapata Quantum, signalling a return to its core identity.

Phase two, completed in November 2025, added a $1.25 million capital raise at a 3x step-up in effective price per share and restructured an additional $8.6 million in debt, bringing the total debt addressed to $18.7 million.

It follows 15,000+ layoffs in 2025, a March 2026 hiring freeze (AI teams exempt), and comes as Microsoft spends $80B+ on AI infrastructure while reporting $81.3B quarterly revenue.

Microsoft is offering voluntary retirement to approximately 7% of its US workforce, roughly 8,750 employees out of 125,000, in the first programme of its kind in the company’s 51-year history.

The voluntary retirement programme is one answer to that diagnosis: reduce the denominator without the headlines that come with mass layoffs.

The voluntary retirement programme offers the most expensive employees a dignified exit.

A group of 66 companies and industry organizations, which includes Apple, has issued a joint statement opposing proposed changes to how companies account for clean energy use.

Companies say the proposed changes could backfireA group of companies, including Amazon, Apple, BYD, eBay, Luxshare, and Salesforce, has issued a public statement against a key change in the rules governing corporate emissions reporting.

In other words, the proposed changes would require companies to match their electricity use with clean energy on an hourly basis, and from sources located within the same grid or regions that can physically deliver that power.

According to the GHGP, the idea behind the change is to im…

Discover is contacting cardholders about changes to how its cards work with Apple Pay, with two features set to go away starting June 4.

Apple Pay integration to continue, despite losing these two featuresIn a notice sent to cardholders, Discover says it will soon discontinue support for its Connected Account integration, as well as for the Pay with Rewards within Apple Pay feature.

The company says it remains “committed to enabling use of Discover® Card in Apple Pay®,” which means that this move will not affect the core Apple Pay experience, as Discover cards will continue to work for both in-store and online purchases through Apple Pay as usual.

We covered many of the quotes here, but Apple’s incoming CEO Ternus also shared his thoughts on the Vision Pro.

Apple’s incoming CEO John Ternus has bright outlook on Vision Pro’s futureAs Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook has served as regular defender of the Vision Pro when questioned about its sales struggles.

At one point Cook told an interviewer that he used Vision Pro every single day in a variety of ways.

But after Vision Pro’s first year on sale had nearly concluded, Cook called it an “early adopter product.”But now that John Ternus is about to become CEO, some might wonder: what are his thoughts on Apple Vision Pro?

What are your takeaways from John Ternus’s comments about Apple Vision Pro?

My new favorite Apple Watch and Apple Health metric is one that has been quietly working in the background for years.

Specifically, it’s a bit of a hidden Apple Watch feature for tracking a great healthy habit: Time in Daylight.

Time in Daylight data is just populating in your Apple Health app if you’ve been wearing an Apple Watch.

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. Я честно говоря пока не понимаю, есть ли смысл за этой эволюцией. Нужна какая-то революция чтобы VR стал общим для всех. Видимо надо ждать Apple/Google/Facebook или еще кого-то чтобы увидеть новое поколение https://www.uploadvr.com/pico-project-swan-official-display-compute-specs-announcement/

Финансирование Anthropic в размере более 60 миллиардов долларов, половина которого поступила всего в прошлом месяце от более чем 200 инвесторов, теперь находится под угрозой из-за контрактного спора компании с Пентагоном.Так пишет Axios, но мне что-то кажется, что зря они переживают. Даже за пределами госзаказов есть триллионы долларов ежегодно.https://www.axios.com/2026/03/02/anthropic-ai-openai-trump
