Выжимка из материала The Wall Street Journal.

Название новой ОС заметили в вакансии Google на LinkedIn.

При этом подобный запрет не входит в компетенцию ЕС.

С июля 2025 года компания тестирует его в Беларуси.

Компания хочет «оптимизировать процессы» за счёт внедрения ИИ.

Компании отметили, что это первый подобный сервис за пределами США.

Размер скидки, которую маркетплейсы предоставляют якобы за свой счёт, зачастую сопоставим с размером комиссии для партнёров.

Это в 64 раза ниже, чем за тот же период 2024-го.

Типичные примеры таких задач:микросервисы и приложения в контейнерах;облачные и edge-платформы;веб-сервисы, CDN и кэширование;сетевые и коммуникационные задачи.

Один и тот же CPU предназначался и для баз данных, и для виртуализации, и для микросервисов.

Наши тесты выявили сферу, где P-ядра абсолютно доминируют и не имеют альтернатив — задачи ML и HPC.

Производительность Xeon® 6747P и Xeon® 6746E.

Ускорения в ML‑задачах — Xeon® 6746E и Xeon® 6747P.

Дочь засыпала меня вопросами, как это работает, и я, поймав кураж, решил набросать ей в draw.io схему разработки.

Я лежал в кровати и глядел в потолок — и вдруг пришло озарение… Идиот тут не AI, а я сам.

Закидываю в AI все, что у меня есть: документацию, ссылку на рабочий пример вендора из их GitHub.

У меня от опыта кодинга с AI на этом слове уже начинает дергаться глаз.

Как я попал в топы и толком ничего не заработал (и почему это неважно)Через неделю игра выстрелила в топе новых игр для Android TV, а потом перешла и в основной.

За отсутствием стандартных решений каждый разработчик изобретал свой собственный драйвер со своими особенностями и возможностями, и в результате их насчитывается добрая сотня штук.

Вообще, это предмет для отдельного большого разговора, который может быть весьма любопытен для гиков, и как-нибудь я расскажу про это гораздо более подробно.

Чаще всего игры задействуют этот канал для партии баса, но иногда он применяется и для мелодии.

В части игр применяется для более реалистичных барабанов, а иногда и для необычных звуковых эффектов.

Одни и те же огибающие могут использоваться в разных инструментах и для разных ролей — для громкости и для арпеджио.

Например в коридоре уже пять лет как висит метеоиндикатор на базе блинкерного табло для автобуса, что случайно попалось на просторах авито.

Так вышло и на этот раз, и в моем распоряжении оказался аэродромный индикатор погоды Комплексной Радиотехнической Аэродромной Метеорологической Станции❯ КРАМСВ авиации от точности сводок погоды зависят жизни тысяч людей.

Она полностью автоматизирована и предоставляет метеосводки как на индикаторных табло, так и с помощью телеграмм, в том числе в формате METAR.

Что, в принципе, удобно — можно отправить одну и ту же посылку и на индикатор и на телеграф.

Так что с его задержками все точно должно работать, но передача будет занимать несколько секунд.

Верстка убегает, само веб-приложение тормозит, часть UI просто не достать пальцем, да и в целом жесты работают так, как им захочется.

Сайт сломался, продакт плакал, а я винила iOS во всех бедах…Что такое DevTools и симуляция устройств в DevTools DevTools — это встроенный в браузер инструмент для анализа, отладки и тестирования веб-сайтов.

А в этом обзоре можно погрузиться в ностальгию и почитать о Nokia 7110 подробнее.

Ведь верстали их не с помощью привычного HTML, а на WML — специальном языке разметки для монохромных экранов с низким разрешением.

Эта приписка wap направляла клиента не на стандартную десктоп-версию, а на отдельную — мобильную, как раз-таки сверстанную на WML.

Многие мои знакомые фотографы и видеографы снимают на советские фотообъективы потому, что они дают мягкое, как они говорят, «киношное» изображение.

Мир-1В и Мир-1Широкоугольный и светосильный объектив с фокусным расстоянием 37 мм и относительным отверстием f/2,8.

Я его не предупреждал, так как не придал значения и не знал о такой опасности.

Работайте без фанатизма, металл снимается легко, он достаточно мягкий, после чего стружка убирается щёткой, и объектив можно безопасно использовать.

Я им пользуюсь как на полнокадровом фотоаппарате, так и на половинном кропе (на Олимпусе, о чём писал вот тут).

Параллельно они сделали собственные моторы, пропеллеры и раму - и в 2011 собрали свой первый DIY-набор: DJI Flame Wheel.

И дрон, и гимбал снабжены гироскопами (меряют наклон) и акселерометрами (ловят ускорения и вибрации).

И главный секрет DJI - это как раз их собственный, крайне мощный и эффективный стабилизатор.

И в итоге:Теряется скорость и гибкость - особенно критично в бешеном ритме китайского рынка.

И в целом, я каждый день публикую в Телеге кучу интересного на стыке технологий и бизнеса.

Уважаемые администрация ресурса Хабр!

Сделайте пожалуйста возможность банить индивидуальных пользователей в комментариях по тому же принципу, как вы это сделали для публикаций на сайте!

Сейчас при элементарной генерации текста с помощью ИИ (Имитацией Интеллекта), этот самый интеллект пропадает у отдельных пользователей, что доставляет не только моральные страдания остальным читателям Хабра, но и вызывает серьезное раздражение портянки LLM шлака в комментариях к статьям.

Что такое Kuai Kuai и почему работают только зеленые пачкиKuai Kuai (乖乖) - это местные тайваньские чипсы, которые выпускаются уже больше 50 лет.

Забавный факт: как пишут в вики в той же статье про культуру Kuai Kuai, в мае 2017 года во время сбора консолидированного подоходного налога Министерство финансов Тайваня пыталось разместить Kuai Kuai в серверной, чтобы спасти свое оборудование от перегрузки.

Даже в политике чипсы стали символом: Лай Цин-дэ (Lai Ching-te), занимавший тогда пост премьер-министра и имевший инженерное образование, в 2019 году в социальных сетях обыгрывал тему Kuai Kuai в контексте своей президентской кампании.

Это был намек избирателям-инженерам: если ты технарь, ты п…

Да.. иногда его используют в тулзах и редакторах, но не в рантайме игры.

А именно, и это большой и жутко охраняемый секрет, он будет возвращать this, а базовый класс будет возвращать null.

И это быстрее, понятнее, и надежнее и не требует RTTI вообще.

И не только с размером кода, но и со временем сборки, и с читаемостью, и с желанием коллег с вами разговаривать.

(М) Преждевременные оптимизацииРечь идёт о тех изменениях, которые не мешают разработке, не ухудшают читаемость кода и не ломают переносимость.

Так появилась система SPQR (Stateless Postgres Query Router) — опенсорс‑решение для горизонтального масштабирования Postgres, оптимизированное под OLTP‑нагрузки и плавные миграции.

Приложения подключаются к нему по обычному протоколу PostgreSQL, «не догадываясь», что работают не с базой данных, а с Golang‑приложением.

SPQR не хранит состояние: все правила маршрутизации лежат в QDB, поэтому число роутеров не ограничено.

Команда Data Platform уже использует SPQR в проде.

В отличие от «настоящих» распределённых СУБД, система SPQR не пытается во что бы то ни стало обеспечить глобальные ACID‑гарантии.

И как оказалось — это далеко не самая простая «парилка», а сложнейшее устройство с мощным микроконтроллером, радиотрактом, звуковым усилителем, дисплеем и тачскрином.

Прикинув, я сразу же понял: в устройстве есть как минимум 2 канала АЦП для считывания параметров и ШИМ для управления «силовой» частью.

В случае сегодняшнего гаджета это делается снятием нижней части корпуса, которая не только приклеена, но и сидит на специальных защелках.

За звук отвечает двухканальный ЦАП для с встроенным предусилителем и возможностью воспроизведения PCM-потока с частотой дискретизации до 96кГц.

Вдруг со временем что‑то изменится и для таких гаджетов начнут релизить схемы и SDK — но я в этом сильно сомневаюс…

Пока новостные каналы писали расплывчатое «пользователи жалуются на сбои», я в чатах и на тестовых стендах пытался понять физику процесса.

Это не так.

Тесты показывают, что xHTTP имеет право на жизнь и в режиме Direct (напрямую к серверу), без прослойки CDN.

Ирония в том, что в белые списки не попали многие российские банки и сервисы, но зато туда попадают диапазоны Cloudflare.

Пользователь сервиса, где реализован выбор протоколов, просто нажал кнопку и сменил транспорт на Shadowsocks или gRPC и продолжил смотреть видео.

В 1970 году молодой швейцарский учёный и программист Никлаус Вирт (Niklaus Wirth) выпустил первую версию Pascal.

А в ноябре даже опередил Go по количеству новых строк кода (хотя это не точные метрики, которые считаются по частотности специфических операторов программирования в поисковой выдаче).

А на заре информатики он считался одним из самых влиятельных учёных, настоящим визионером, который ясно видел великое будущее компьютеров.

В 1971 году ETH начал применять Паскаль для обучения программированию, и он быстро распространился в другие университеты, а потом и школы.

Турбо Паскаль — IDE для DOS и Windows 3.x и язык программирования, диалект ПаскаляВ 1970-х гг.

И жаль, что та эпоха закончилась, так и не успев начаться.

Ну а что, это же барахолка.

Работает он от 12 В, 2.5 А, и по идее должен ставиться у окна или стены, где ловится хоть какой-то сигнал.

Такие камеры были тяжелыми, но давали для своего времени очень приличную картинку и использовались и дома, и в полупрофессиональной съёмке.

Но что и зачем?

Новинки — это европеизированные REDMI K90 и K90 Pro Max, которым чикнули аккумуляторы (7100 → 6210 мА•ч и 7560 → 6500 мА•ч) и накинули eSIM.

Другие особенности остались прежними: звук Bose (Ultra дополнительно имеет сабвуфер), уникальная спинка под деним, и заметный блок камер.

Младший POCO F8 Pro почему-то щеголяет только чёрным, белым и бирюзовым цветами.

F8 Ultra сохранил чёрный, белый и уникальный «джинсовый».

На глобальном рынке F8 Pro стартует от $580, а F8 Ultra — от $720.

Идея в том, чтобы засекать нарушителей правил на железных дорогах по камерам и выписывать им штрафы.

Центр биометрических технологий говорит, что автоматические штрафы на базе Единой биометрической системы сейчас наложить нельзя и технически, и по закону.

А в Минцифры прокомментировали, что биометрические данные из ЕБС можно использовать только после согласия гражданина, — пишет «КоммерсантЪ».

Минтранс же предлагает изменить закон «О персональных данных», так чтобы биометрию можно было использовать без согласия человека для «осуществления правосудия».

А в закон «О железнодорожном транспорте в РФ» добавить положение, которое позволило бы монтировать те самые камеры для распознавания лиц.

Название новой системы стало известно благодаря описанию вакансии «менеджера по продукту Aluminium OS», которую обнаружило издание Android Authority.

Будущая ОС будет создана на основе Android с элементами ChromeOS и иметь большую ориентацию на ИИ-функции.

Помимо этого, страница раскрывает планы Google относительно ALOS (кодовое название): операционку адаптируют для ПК, мини-ПК и лэптопов всех классов, а также для планшетов.

Отмечается, что одной из важнейших задач ответственной команды станет «разработка стратегии перехода Google с ChromeOS на Aluminium».

Google ещё летом мельком упоминала о слиянии Android и ChromeOS, а теперь перешла от разговоров к делу.

Из этой логики — новые RTX 6000 и RDNA 5 должны были появиться примерно в конце 2026 года.

Однако в связи с кризисом RAM, возникшим по вине ИИ-бума, релиз планируют перенести.

Поэтому NVIDIA и AMD остаётся только ждать и пытаться побольше навариться на дефиците.

Кроме того, AMD уже предупредила партнёров о повышении цен на компоненты для видюх среднего и топ уровней.

Ещё стоит упомянуть, что от AMD зависит и выход PS6, чип которой будет основан на архитектуре RDNA 5.

Сериал должны были показать 3 декабря, но теперь премьеру перенесли на неопределённый срок.

Сериал снимала французская продюсерская компания Gaumont, она же и сообщила о том, что «Охоту» отложили на время проведения внутреннего расследования.

Интересно, как компания поступит с полностью готовым сериалом, если обвинения подтвердятся — отправит его в утиль или же попробует получить права на экранизацию романа.

Это уже вторая потеря Apple TV за осень: в сентябре отменили премьеру сериала «Савант» с Джессикой Честейн, который поднимает тему шутинга, групп ненависти и политических убийств.

О сериале до сих пор нет вестей, и выйдет ли он в ближайшее время, неизвестно.

SK hynix (один из трёх крупнейших производителей памяти) отметил начало кризиса оперативной памяти выпуском сладких бананово-медовых HBM Chips.

Это дорогая память с высокой пропускной способностью, которая в основном используется в ИИ-центрах.

Из-за того, что аппетиты нейроиндустрии показывают чуть ли не экспоненциальный рост, основные вендоры RAM снижают производство потребительской памяти, создавая дефицит.

Как следствие, весь мир скоро столкнётся с повышением цен на смартфоны, лэптопы, видеокарты, автомобили да вообще на всю электронику, требующую для работы оперативу.

SK hynix считает, что акция поможет создать у людей приятные ассоциации с полупроводниками.

Solskydd и Kulglass — это линейки Bluetooth-колонок, стилизованных под настольные зеркала и лампы соответственно.

Всё как любит IKEA: функционально, но из общего интерьера не выбивается.

Solskydd представлена тремя моделями:8-дюймовое «зеркало» с динамиками до 2,5 дюйма, громкостью до 80,5 дБ и временем работы до 25 часов;11-дюймовое «зеркало», включающее дюймовый твитер и 4-дюймовый вуфер общей громкостью 83,6 дБ;18-дюймовое «зеркало», у которого есть дюймовый твитер и два 4-дюймовых вуфера общей громкостью 93,6 дБ.

Kulglass подойдёт для создания атмосферы уюта: включил лампу, включил стрим Lo-Fi Girl на колонке и лежишь, читаешь, потягиваешь чай.

За звук здесь отвечают 2,5-см твитер и 3,5…

Парад анонсов Huawei продолжился планшетом 2 в 1 — MatePad Edge.

По заявлению вендора, производительность чипа Kirin X90, установленного в новинке, приближается к Apple M5 и в 3,8 раза обходит мобильный Kirin 9020.

Основная камера предлагает ширик на 50 Мп, f/1,8 и ультраширик на 8 Мп, f/2,2.

Аккумулятор в MatePad Edge на 12 900 мА•ч с проводной зарядкой на 140 Вт.

Стартовая цена Huawei MatePad Edge — 6000 юаней (≈69 000 рублей) за версию 16/256 ГБ.

Huawei обновила свою линейку Mate четырьмя новыми устройствами: Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro Max и Mate 80 RS.

Давайте считать вместе: ширик, ультраширик, два перископа, спектральная камера Red Maple 2, фронталка и камера для сканирования лица.

Рассмотрим спеки всех устройств:габариты Mate 80 и 80 Pro: 161,85 × 76 × 7,95 мм, 217 г;габариты Mate 80 Pro Max и 80 RS: 164,4 × 79 × 8,25 мм, 239/249 г;Mate 80 и 80 Pro: 6,75-дюйма OLED 120 Гц 2832 × 1280;Mate 80 Pro Max и 80 RS: 6,9-дюйма, Double OLED 120 Гц 2848 × 1320.

Люксовый Mate 80 RS отличается от Pro Max титановой рамой, размером оперативы, 20 ГБ против 16 ГБ, и eSIM.

Huawei Mate 80 стартует от 4700 юаней (≈54 000 рублей), 80 Pro — от…

Производством займётся телеканал FX, а показывать его будут на стримингах Hulu и Disney+.

За запуск шоу ответственны известные продюсеры: Роб Мак («В Филадельфии всегда солнечно», «Добро пожаловать в Рексэм») и Ноа Хоули («Легион», «Фарго», «Чужой: Земля»).

Оба уже давно работают вместе с FX — на их счету 32 сериальных сезона в общей сложности.

И это наследует основную идею Far Cry: все игры плюс-минус на одну тему, но персонажи и место действия — разные.

И чем дальше, тем больше денег на них готовы выделять и тем более именитых актёров, режиссёров и продюсеров будут привлекать.

Сбои мобильного интернета вынуждают граждан снимать наличку, чтобы иметь возможность расплатиться в магазинах, — передают «Известия» мнение ЦБ РФ.

За период июль−сентябрь объём кэша в обращении увеличился на 659 млрд рублей.

Это в пять раз больше аналогичного периода в 2024 году.

Издание пишет, что многие граждане во избежание риска блокировок транзакций и задержания переводов могли заранее снять деньги.

Дополнительно на это могли повлиять заявления ЦБ о возможном признании переводов самому себе по СБП мошенническими.

Системный помощник смартфонов Samsung продолжит обрабатывать простенькие запросы вроде установки напоминаний, а задачи, требующие сложных размышлений, будет переваривать Perplexity, — сообщил инсайдер chunvn8888.

Тут стоит напомнить, что в оболочку нынешних флагманов Samsung интегрированы ИИ-фичи Gemini.

На ум приходят два варианта: либо Perplexity оказался выгоднее по совокупности качеств, либо Samsung в будущем хочет дать пользователю выбор между LLM, но пока всё равно почему-то остановилась на Perplexity.

Похоже, наметился некоторый тренд: компании начинают понимать, что разработка собственного ИИ на текущий момент слишком сложная задача.

Она по силам лишь тем, кто взялся за это раньше о…

Российская компания Neiry на конференции NeiryConf 2025 в Москве представила технологию, позволяющую дистанционно управлять птицами.

Разработчики Neiry отмечают, что технология никак не влияет на здоровье и привычный образ жизни птицы.

Особи с вживлёнными нейрочипами живут так же, как и обычные птицы в природе.

По словам основателя компании Neiry Александра Панова, технология подходит для любых видов, но после периода адаптации.

В 2024 году компания Neiry представила крысу с подключением к системе искусственного интеллекта, а в 2025 году разработчики запланировали внедрять нейрочипы коровам для повышения надоев.

Компания Nvidia на фоне катастрофы на рынке памяти решила от этой памяти немного дистанцироваться как минимум на рынке видеокарт.

Фото VideocardzКогда мы говорим о поставках видеокарт компанией Nvidia, нужно понимать, что производители этих самых видеокарт на самом деле получают от Nvidia наборы из GPU и памяти, а всё остальное они создают сами.

Такой шаг обусловлен проблемами на рынке памяти и в том числе дефицитом и удорожанием GDDR7.

Видимо, Nvidia не хочет подстраиваться под новые нормы и просто оставляет это партнёрам.

При этом, напомним, в серверном сегменте, напротив, Nvidia решила подмять под себя всё и поставлять полностью готовые стойки.

Глава «Автостата» Сергей Целиков привел перечень самых популярных моделей «свежих» автомобилей с пробегом в 2025 году — в возрасте до 5 лет.

Фото: ToyotaОстальные позиции в топ-10 выглядят так:Hyundai Solaris — 9 096 шт.

Именно этот сегмент показывает наиболее показательные изменения в предпочтениях покупателей: рынок перестраивается вокруг конкретных моделей, и список лидеров стремительно меняется.

Среди подержанных автомобилей до пяти лет всё заметнее растёт доля китайских кроссоверов — сразу пять моделей из топ-10 относятся к этому сегменту.

Сергей Целиков считает, что в ближайшие годы найти свежие японские или корейские модели станет значительно сложнее, а китайские авто окончательно за…

Исследователи безопасности из компании Morphisec обратили внимание на серию атак против пользователей системы 3D-моделирования Blender, осуществляемую через распространение blend-файлов в популярных каталогах 3D-моделей, таких как CGTrader. Активация вредоносного кода при открытии 3D-модели производится благодаря возможности включения в blend-файлы автоматически запускаемых скриптов на языке Python, предназначенных для автоматизации действий и выполнения расширенных операций, таких как формирование каркаса модели.

Tanha as unskillful active inference (TUAI)The first clue is what tanha is trying to do for us.

I’ll claim today that tanha is a side-effect of a normal, effective strategy our brains use extensively, active inference.

Active inference argues we store our to-do list as predictions, which are equivalent to untrue sensory observations that we act to make true.

Formally, the “tanha as unskillful active inference” (TUAI) hypothesis is that this process commonly goes awry (i.e.

tanha); muscle contractions freeze patterns; smooth muscle latches block out feelings of possibility and awareness of that somatic area.

Rather than subdivide the system, NPS0 exposes a dual socket system as a single monolithic entity.

It evenly distributes memory accesses across all memory controller channels, providing uniform memory access like in a desktop system.

This system appears to be running in NPS0 mode, giving an opportunity to see how a modern server acts with 24 memory controllers providing uniform memory access.

A simple latency test immediately shows the cost of providing uniform memory access.

I avoid this problem in the loaded memory latency test, because I have bandwidth load threads check a flag.

Six flights would make 2025 the busiest launch year for ULA since 2022, but it falls well short of the company’s forecast.

The Vulcan rocket’s sole launch this year occurred August 12, when it took off on a mission sponsored by the US Space Force.

This mission was the third flight of the Vulcan rocket, and its first national security mission after the Space Force formally certified ULA’s new launch vehicle.

Concerns about the Vulcan rocket are nothing new at the Pentagon.

A year-and-a-half later, the military still has satellites waiting to launch on Vulcan.

As of yesterday’s data release by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), which covers the first nine months of 2025, total electricity demand has risen by 2.3 percent.

That slowdown means that most of the increased demand could have been met by the astonishing growth of solar power.

While solar power continued its remarkable surge, growing by an astonishing 44 percent, it was only able to cover a third of the demand growth.

As such, solar growth was enough to offset over 80 percent of the increased demand.

We’re nearly at the point where solar is growing fast enough to completely offset a notable growth in demand.

Physician Jeremy Faust revealed the appointment in his newsletter Inside Medicine yesterday, which was subsequently confirmed by journalists.

Faust noted that a CDC source told him, “I heard way worse names floated,” and although Abraham’s views are “probably pretty terrible,” he at least has had relevant experience running a public health system, unlike other current leaders of the agency.

But Abraham hasn’t exactly been running a health system the way most public health experts would recommend.

Under Abraham’s leadership, the Louisiana health department waited months to inform residents about a deadly whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak.

Earlier this year, he told a Louisiana news outlet …

Facing five lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths, OpenAI lobbed its first defense Tuesday, denying in a court filing that ChatGPT caused a teen’s suicide and instead arguing the teen violated terms that prohibit discussing suicide or self-harm with the chatbot.

But in a blog, OpenAI claimed that parents selectively chose disturbing chat logs while supposedly ignoring “the full picture” revealed by the teen’s chat history.

Digging through the logs, OpenAI claimed the teen told ChatGPT that he’d begun experiencing suicidal ideation at age 11, long before he used the chatbot.

“A full reading of his chat history shows that his death, while devastating, was not caused by ChatGPT,” OpenAI’s filing a…

The reductions will largely hit product development, internal operations, and customer support, HP CEO Enrique Lores said during an earnings call on Tuesday.

Using AI, HP will “accelerate product innovation, improve customer satisfaction, and boost productivity,” Lores said.

AI blamed for tech layoffsHP’s announcement comes as workers everywhere try to decipher how AI will impact their future job statuses and job opportunities.

Some industries, such as customer support, are expected to be more disrupted than others.

And in January, Meta announced plans to lay off 5 percent of its workforce as it looks to streamline operations and build its AI business.

After nearly a decade of development, Russia’s newest launch vehicle is close to its debut flight.

The medium-lift Soyuz 5 rocket is expected to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome before the end of the year.

Although the Soyuz 5 is a new vehicle, it does not represent a major leap forward in technology.

A decade in the makingDevelopment of the Soyuz 5 dates back almost a decade, with preliminary design work completed in 2017.

The Soyuz 5 was conceived of as a more efficient version of the Zenit-2 rocket, which flew into the 2010s.

With the recent releases of visionOS 26 and newly refreshed Vision Pro hardware, it’s an ideal time to check in on Apple’s Vision Pro headset—a device I was simultaneously amazed and disappointed by when it launched in early 2024.

When I got a Vision Pro, I used it a lot: I watched movies on planes and in hotel rooms, I walked around my house placing application windows and testing out weird new ways of working.

Crypto-hoarding companies are ditching their holdings in a bid to prop up their sinking share prices, as the craze for “digital asset treasury” businesses unravels in the face of a $1 trillion cryptocurrency rout.

Shares in Michael Saylor-led Strategy, the world’s biggest corporate bitcoin holder, have tumbled 50 percent over the past three months, dragging down scores of copycat companies.

Purchases by such companies have been a big driver of bitcoin hitting a record high last month.

The Smarter Web Company, the UK’s biggest bitcoin buyer, has experienced a 44 percent stock price drop this year.

It is valued at £132 million while the bitcoin it holds is worth about $232 million.

One of the arrestees, Alabama resident Brian Raymond, was the chief technology officer of an AI company called Corvex.

But once Raymond was arrested, Corvex told media outlets that it had never completed the process of hiring him as an employee.

While someone could technically be a CTO as a contractor and not a regular employee, a company spokesperson subsequently claimed to Ars that Raymond had never been the CTO.

The company spokesperson asked Ars for a “correction” to our story, which accurately reported that Corvex itself described Raymond as its CTO and as part of its leadership team.

“The headline is also misleading as a result, as taken together it suggests Ramyond [sic] was CTO of C…

People have worked to identify the genes associated with many of these behaviors, taking advantage of the fact that dogs can interbreed.

Taking advantage of a population of over 1,000 golden retrievers, they found a number of genes associated with behaviors within that breed.

Using the data, the researchers identified when different regions of the genome were frequently associated with specific variants.

In total, 14 behavioral tendencies were examined, and 12 genomic regions were associated with specific behaviors, and another nine showed somewhat weaker associations.

For example, two different regions associated with touch sensitivity in golden retrievers had been linked to a love of chas…

The popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss medications continues to soar—and their uptake is helping to push down obesity rates on a national scale—but a safe, evidence-based way off the drugs isn’t yet in clear view.

In an accompanying editorial, two medical experts at the University of Pittsburgh, Elizabeth Oczypok and Timothy Anderson, suggest that this new class of drugs should be rebranded from “weight loss” drugs to “weight management” drugs, which people may need to take indefinitely.

Some studies have found that about half of people who start taking a GLP-1 drug for weight loss stop taking it within a year—for various reasons—and many people think they can stop taking anti-obesity drugs on…

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Previously, people outside of a server owner’s network could access the owner’s media library through Plex for free.

Under the new rules announced in March, a server owner needs to have a Plex Pass subscription, which starts at $7 per month, to grant users remote access to their server.

The Plex employee added:This requirement change for remote streaming will come to all other Plex TV apps (Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, etc.)

It’s not a bad time to upgrade your gaming PC.

This was close to impossible through the spring and summer.

But it’s not a good time to build a new PC or swap your older motherboard out for a new one that needs DDR5 RAM.

And the culprit is a shortage of RAM and flash memory chips that has suddenly sent SSD and (especially) memory prices into the stratosphere, caused primarily by the ongoing AI boom and exacerbated by panic-fueled buying by end users and device manufacturers.

If you’re thinking about an SSD upgrade, those increases haven’t become too ludicrous just yet, but if you were thinking about a RAM upgrade, your best bet is to hold on tight to whatever you already have and hope that n…

An unpiloted Chinese spacecraft launched late Monday and linked up with the country’s Tiangong space station a few hours later, providing a lifeboat for three astronauts stuck in orbit without a safe ride home.

The spacecraft docked with the Tiangong station nearly 250 miles (400 kilometers) above the Earth about three-and-a-half hours later.

After engineers deemed the damaged Shenzhou 20 ship unsafe, Chinese space officials decided to send the outgoing crew back to Earth on the unblemished Shenzhou 21 spacecraft.

Shenzhou 21 successfully landed with its three occupants on November 14, but that still left three astronauts on the Tiangong station without a safe return craft.

RealPage has agreed to settle an antitrust lawsuit raised by the Department of Justice, alleging that landlords used its tools to coordinate efforts to artificially raise rental prices across the US.

Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data covering a 12-month period ending this September showed rents are still rising by 3.5 percent amid an affordability crisis, leaving some US renters in fear of housing instability.

In its complaint filed last August, the DOJ alleged that RealPage collected sensitive information daily from landlords, making it easier to see how competitors were pricing units.

Under the proposed settlement agreement, RealPage admitted to no wrongdoing and faced no financial p…

Mario Kart World isn’t quite the reinvention of the massively popular franchise that I thought it might be based on Nintendo’s extensive preview of the game.

Mario Kart is a proven formula, and Nintendo has done more than enough to make MKW the kind of game that millions of people will play over the next decade or so.

There’s a truckload of Nintendo characters to pilot your kart or bike, from the heavy hitters to bizarre but amusing choices like a Piranha plant.

But while Mario Kart World will feel familiar to the millions who played Mario Kart 8, it also introduces a few noteworthy new features.

While I wish Nintendo took just a few more risks with Mario Kart World, it’s the kind of game a…

Netflix has crashed for thousands of viewers after the first four episodes of Stranger Things season 5 went live for streaming.

The numbers climbed up to almost 14,000 before they went down over the next few minutes.

According to Entertainment Weekly, affected viewers were getting an NSEZ-403 error, which means their accounts couldn’t connect to Netflix.

In season 5 of Stranger Things, the Hawkins gang is set to face Vecna one last time.

After these first four episodes, Netflix is dropping three more on December 25 and then the finale itself on December 31.

Sony appears to be ready to announce another addition to its Alpha camera lineup.

It's possible the company has something else in mind, but the giant "V" or Roman numeral five in the background of the image seems like a clear reference to an unannounced Sony A7 V, a follow-up to the Sony Alpha 7 IV.

Considering there was around a four year gap between the release of the A7 III and A7 IV, releasing the new camera in 2026 would make the timing lineup, too.

Rumors suggest the A7 V could feature a new 33MP "partially stacked sensor" designed by Sony, along with the ability to capture 4K / 60 fps video.

The company is also rumored to be announcing at least two new lenses to go with the new camer…

Santa Ragione wanted to create a Steam store page for Horses back in 2023 to help build interest.

The studio says Valve wanted to see a playable build of the game before it would approve a Coming Soon page.

Santa Ragione said Valve didn't provide more detailed reasons for rejecting the game.

Santa Ragione does have a plausible theory as to why Valve blocked the game from Steam, however.

But if things go the way that I expect them to go, then I think [studio's closure] is inevitable,” Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva told GamesIndustry.biz.

With the gaming industry's recent rash of layoffs, closures and cancellations, it would be easy to assume Beyond Good and Evil 2 is toast.

But here we are in late 2025, and — lo and behold — Ubisoft is hiring for the prequel.

"Beyond Good & Evil 2 is an action-adventure open world game set in a captivating space opera universe and the direct prequel to the 2003 cult classic," the posting reads.

Those worries appear to have been warranted, as we still hang onto tiny nuggets of hope (look, a job posting!!)

Researchers have investigated how earthquakes impacted underground life in Yellowstone, where they thrive far from the Sun’s warmth and energy.

These life forms draw energy not from photosynthesis but from the chemical reactions related to the movement of water through broken rock.

The paper’s results could inform how life can exist in unexpected places and carry implications for the search for extraterrestrial life.

However, the subsurface system in question seemed to change rapidly and clearly in response to seismic energy.

Yellowstone isn’t the only region with regular seismic activity, so similar quakes elsewhere could trigger comparable changes to underground energy resources.

The House Homeland Security Committee has sent a letter to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to testify on Dec. 17 about a cyberattack campaign allegedly conducted by China-affiliated actors using the company’s Claude AI, according to a new report from Axios.

It has been a decade since the Stranger Things phenomenon began, and the Duffer brothers had had ample time to craft a strong finish to their breakout hit series. But the beginning of the show's fifth and final season feels like a frantic race to the end. While Stranger Things wasn't Netflix's first breakout hit, […]

Apple TV removed The Hunt from its streaming slate last week after concerns were raised about plagiarism. The move, previously reported by Apple Insider, comes after French media journalist Clément Garin claimed that the story closely follows Shoot, a 1974 novel written by Douglas Fairbairn. The Hunt was originally supposed to premiere on Apple TV […]

OpenAI’s response to a lawsuit by the family of Adam Raine, a 16-year-old who took his own life after discussing it with ChatGPT for months, said the injuries in this “tragic event” happened as a result of Raine’s “misuse, unauthorized use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use of ChatGPT.” NBC News reports the filing […]

What if Valve’s Steam Machine were a 3.8-liter tower instead of a 3.8-liter cube, with a desktop-grade Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU instead of an AMD RX 7600 — plus a more powerful CPU and many faster ports? Well, it’d cost you nearly $1,500 and be called the Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro. Minisforum is one of […]

Military contractors are trying to thwart a widely-supported right-to-repair provision in the annual defense policy bill — and their efforts may pay off. A source familiar with the negotiations tells The Verge that there are significant concerns that the bill’s right-to-repair language will be replaced by a “data-as-a-service” model, potentially requiring the Department of Defense […]

This weekend, Andrej Karpathy, the former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, decided he wanted to read a book. But he did not want to read it alone. He wanted to read it accompanied by a committee of artificial intelligences, each offering its own perspective, critiquing the others, and eventually synthesizing a final answer under the guidance of a "Chairman."To make this happen, Karpathy wrote what he called a "vibe code project" — a piece of software written quickly, largely by AI assistants, intended for fun rather than function. He posted the result, a repository called "LLM Council," to GitHub with a stark disclaimer: "I’m not going to support it in any way... Cod…

It's not just Google's Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 we have to be thankful for this year around the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S.No, today the German AI startup Black Forest Labs released FLUX.2, a new image generation and editing system complete with four different models designed to support production-grade creative workflows.FLUX.2 introduces multi-reference conditioning, higher-fidelity outputs, and improved text rendering, and it expands the company’s open-core ecosystem with both commercial endpoints and open-weight checkpoints. While Black Forest Labs previously launched with and made a name for itself on open source text-to-image models in its F…

Researchers at Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab have developed a new framework for self-evolving agents that create their own training data by exploring their application environments. The framework, AgentEvolver, uses the knowledge and reasoning capabilities of large language models for autonomous learning, addressing the high costs and manual effort typically required to gather task-specific datasets.Experiments show that compared to traditional reinforcement learning–based frameworks, AgentEvolver is more efficient at exploring its environment, makes better use of data, and adapts faster to application environments. For the enterprise, this is significant because it lowers the barrier to training ag…

President Donald Trump’s new “Genesis Mission” unveiled Monday is billed as a generational leap in how the United States does science akin to the Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb during World War II. The executive order directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to build a “closed-loop AI experimentation platform” that links the country’s 17 national laboratories, federal supercomputers, and decades of government scientific data into “one cooperative system for research.” The White House fact sheet casts the initiative as a way to “transform how scientific research is conducted” and “accelerate the speed of scientific discovery,” with priorities spanning biotechnology, critical ma…

OpenAI expanded its data residency regions for ChatGPT and its API, giving enterprise users the option to store and process their data closest to their business operations and better comply with local regulations. This expansion removes one of the biggest compliance blockers preventing global enterprises from deploying ChatGPT at scale.Data residency, often an overlooked piece of the enterprise AI puzzle, processes and governs data according to the laws and customs of the countries where it is stored. ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu subscribers can now choose to have their data processed in: Europe (European Economic Area and Switzerland)United KingdomUnited StatesCanadaJapanSouth KoreaSingapore…

Anthropic released its most capable artificial intelligence model yet on Monday, slashing prices by roughly two-thirds while claiming state-of-the-art performance on software engineering tasks — a strategic move that intensifies the AI startup's competition with deep-pocketed rivals OpenAI and Google.The new model, Claude Opus 4.5, scored higher on Anthropic's most challenging internal engineering assessment than any human job candidate in the company's history, according to materials reviewed by VentureBeat. The result underscores both the rapidly advancing capabilities of AI systems and growing questions about how the technology will reshape white-collar professions.The Amazon-backed comp…

China's DeepSeek-R1 LLM generates up to 50% more insecure code when prompted with politically sensitive inputs such as "Falun Gong," "Uyghurs," or "Tibet," according to new research from CrowdStrike. The latest in a series of discoveries — following Wiz Research's January database exposure, NowSecure's iOS app vulnerabilities, Cisco's 100% jailbreak success rate, and NIST's finding that DeepSeek is 12x more susceptible to agent hijacking — the CrowdStrike findings demonstrate how DeepSeek's geopolitical censorship mechanisms are embedded directly into model weights rather than external filters. DeepSeek is weaponizing Chinese regulatory compliance into a supply-chain vulnerability, with 90%…

Remember the first time you heard your company was going AI-first?Maybe it came through an all-hands that felt different from the others. The CEO said, “By Q3, every team should have integrated AI into their core workflows,” and the energy in the room (or on the Zoom) shifted. You saw a mix of excitement and anxiety ripple through the crowd.Maybe you were one of the curious ones. Maybe you’d already built a Python script that summarized customer feedback, saving your team three hours every week. Or maybe you’d stayed late one night just to see what would happen if you combined a dataset with a large language model (LLM) prompt. Maybe you’re one of those who’d already let curiosity lead you …

Microsoft has introduced Fara-7B, a new 7-billion parameter model designed to act as a Computer Use Agent (CUA) capable of performing complex tasks directly on a user’s device. Fara-7B sets new state-of-the-art results for its size, providing a way to build AI agents that don’t rely on massive, cloud-dependent models and can run on compact systems with lower latency and enhanced privacy.While the model is an experimental release, its architecture addresses a primary barrier to enterprise adoption: data security. Because Fara-7B is small enough to run locally, it allows users to automate sensitive workflows, such as managing internal accounts or processing sensitive company data, without tha…

Large language models (LLMs) have astounded the world with their capabilities, yet they remain plagued by unpredictability and hallucinations – confidently outputting incorrect information. In high-stakes domains like finance, medicine or autonomous systems, such unreliability is unacceptable. Enter Lean4, an open-source programming language and interactive theorem prover becoming a key tool to inject rigor and certainty into AI systems. By leveraging formal verification, Lean4 promises to make AI safer, more secure and deterministic in its functionality. Let's explore how Lean4 is being adopted by AI leaders and why it could become foundational for building trustworthy AI.What is Lean4 and…

OpenAI has sent out emails notifying API customers that its chatgpt-4o-latest model will be retired from the developer platform in mid-February 2026,. Access to the model is scheduled to end on February 16, 2026, creating a roughly three-month transition period for remaining applications still built on GPT-4o.An OpenAI spokesperson emphasized that this timeline applies only to the API. OpenAI has not announced any schedule for removing GPT-4o from ChatGPT, where it remains an option for individual consumers and users across paid subscription tiers. Internally, the model is considered a legacy system with relatively low API usage compared to the newer GPT-5.1 series, but the company expects …

As LLMs have continued to improve, there has been some discussion in the industry about the continued need for standalone data labeling tools, as LLMs are increasingly able to work with all types of data. HumanSignal, the lead commercial vendor behind the open-source Label Studio program, has a different view. Rather than seeing less demand for data labeling, the company is seeing more. Earlier this month, HumanSignal acquired Erud AI and launched its physical Frontier Data Labs for novel data collection. But creating data is only half the challenge. Today, the company is tackling what comes next: proving the AI systems trained on that data actually work. The new multi-modal agent evaluatio…

Salesforce launched a suite of monitoring tools on Thursday designed to solve what has become one of the thorniest problems in corporate artificial intelligence: Once companies deploy AI agents to handle real customer interactions, they often have no idea how those agents are making decisions.The new capabilities, built into Salesforce's Agentforce 360 Platform, give organizations granular visibility into every action their AI agents take, every reasoning step they follow, and every guardrail they trigger. The move comes as businesses grapple with a fundamental tension in AI adoption — the technology promises massive efficiency gains, but executives remain wary of autonomous systems they ca…

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after training. The paradigm, called Nested Learning, reframes a model and its training not as a single process, but as a system of nested, multi-level optimization problems. The researchers argue that this approach can unlock more expressive learning algorithms, leading to better in-context learning and memory.To prove their concept, the researchers used Nested Learning to develop a new model, called Hope. Initial experiments show that it has superior performance on language modeling, continual learning, …

Elon Musk's frontier generative AI startup xAI formally opened developer access to its Grok 4.1 Fast models last night and introduced a new Agent Tools API—but the technical milestones were immediately subverted by a wave of public ridicule about Grok's responses on the social network X over the last few days praising its creator Musk as more athletic than championship-winning American football players and legendary boxer Mike Tyson, despite having displayed no public prowess at either sport.They emerge as yet another black eye for xAI's Grok following the "MechaHitler" scandal in the summer of 2025, in which an earlier version of Grok adopted a verbally antisemitic persona inspired by the …

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETThe GoPro Max 2 is a long-awaited upgrade after the company's first Max 360 camera launched in 2019.

Here's what it's like to use the new GoPro 360 camera, and why you should consider it as your next travel camera.

Like all 360 cameras, the GoPro Max 2 aligns its two lenses on opposing sides, which wasn't the case with the 2019 model.

Like most 360 cameras, you can use the GoPro Max 2 in single-lens mode if you don't want to reframe every shot.

ZDNET's buying adviceOverall, the GoPro Max 2 is a more convenient and easier-to-use 360 camera than its competitors.

Amazfit Helio Strap ZDNET's key takeaways The Amazfit Helio Strap is available now for $99.

As a smartwatch alternative, the strap offers virtually all the same health tracking features via the robust Zepp app, with over a week of battery life.

I'm talking a lot about the app here because ultimately, that's what matters most to the Helio strap, as a window into fitness tracking through Zepp.

(Plus, if you can't sleep with a watch on, the Helio strap is a legit alternative.)

ZDNET's buying adviceIf you're interested in fitness tracking but want something minimal or only want to wear a device during workouts, the Amazfit Helio Strap is a solid option.

Perhaps that's the point, but the Even Realities G2 smart glasses still manage to stand out in a crowded market.

Priced at $599, the Even G2 smartglasses come with a Black Friday bundle deal that deserves being called out.

Until December 26th, customers who purchase the new G2 Display Smart Glasses will receive the Even R1 Smart Ring and additional accessories for 50% off.

It's not just a way to navigate the interface, however, as it acts as a smart ring to track health and fitness metrics, displaying results in the G2's visual interface.

Samsung's QN90F is no flagship OLED, but it still delivers great streaming and gaming performance, making it a compelling holiday deal.

Two of the best streaming devices of the year are on sale for Black Friday. Here's how to decide which deal is best for you.

ProtoArc CaseUp Combo ZDNET's key takeaways The CaseUp Combo includes ProtoArc's wireless keyboard, mouse, and laptop stand, on sale now for $79 on Amazon.

Remote work demands new use cases from tech to get our work done, and like anything else, customization is key.

I've been traveling with ProtoArc's CaseUp keyboard, mouse, and laptop stand combo for the past year or so, and it's become a standard for my remote work setup for a few reasons.

Every time I've used this wireless keyboard, it connects instantly to my laptop with no re-pairing or fiddling with settings.

ZDNET's buying adviceIf you're looking for a wireless keyboard, ProtoArc's tri-fold design fully extends into a full-size keyb…

I've used the Roku Streaming Stick Plus for months, and it's a downright steal with this $19 Black Friday deal.

I should also mention that there are some limitations, because not every iPhone 17 Pro Max configuration is included.

You already know that you must purchase Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plan to receive the free iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Same thing for the Apple Watch: it's also free across all four of its plans: Unlimited, Unlimited Plus, Number Share, and Number Share Plus.

The free iPhone (over time) alone is worthy of the perfect score, but here you get three of Apple's latest devices for free.

If you've been looking for an opportunity to upgrade, I highly recommend the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

If you ever needed a reason to upgrade your home internet plan, let this be one to consider.

The Marshall Heston 60 and Sub 200 aren't your average soundbar and subwoofer, but how do they compare to industry veterans?

Acer Swift 16 AI ZDNET's key takeaways The Acer Swift 16 AI is on sale for $749.

I've been commuting with the Swift 16 AI for the past month, and it's become a surprise favorite of the year.

Acer's Aspire 14 AI (left) and Swift 16 AI (right).

As a work laptop, it feels premium and powerful, despite the subpar speakers, which is a tradeoff I'm willing to take.

Also: How to clear your Windows 11 PC cache (and put an end to slow performance)Why the Acer Swift 16 AI gets an Editors' Choice awardWe've awarded the Acer Swift 16 AI our Editors' Choice award primarily for its features, hardware, and build quality relative to price.

Garmin Instinct 3 Solar ZDNET's key takeaways The Garmin Instinct 3 Solar is available in two sizes and four color variations, on sale starting at $349 (45mm).

The Garmin Instinct series has always been focused on the outdoor adventurer who needs a rugged watch that performs no matter what is thrown at it.

The Garmin Instinct 3 Solar (left) and Instinct 2X Solar (right).

That LED flashlight remains a staple I use daily and is one reason you will always find a Garmin watch on one of my wrists.

Matthew Miller/ZDNETThe Garmin Instinct 3 Solar is a good option for those looking for one of the longest-lasting GPS sports watches for under $500.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition ZDNET's key takeaways The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is on sale now for $149.

I've been testing the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which has the fastest performance yet, and up to 12 weeks of battery life.

Then I tried the latest Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, and I'm not sure I can give it up.

Maria Diaz/ZDNETI've been using the Kindle Paperwhite for about two weeks and haven't needed to charge it after the initial charge.

I typically use my Kindles for six years, but I could see the latest Kindle Paperwhite lasting eight years or longer, making the purchase even more worthwhile.

He told me it was refreshing to speak to an entrepreneur who was not blinded by his own pitch.

When we raised money for another startup a few years later, almost all of them signed up in our first round.

However, when the business struggled, I also felt very comfortable with the company ending graciously.

When you’re reading a good book, there’s a moment near the end when you’ll start reading slower because you don’t want it to end.

So, this is the ending of a great story that I’ve enjoyed participating in.

Unfortunately, the majority of discarded used technology, known as e-waste, is dumped or processed in unsafe conditions.

A Danish robotic solutionAt the Danish Technological Institute, researchers are building an AI-driven robotic system that could help tackle e-waste while scaling, modernising, and empowering the tech refurbishment industry.

However, companies are slowly waking up to the potential of e-waste robotic recycling.

Ultimately, they want to build a ready-for-production robotic system that supports local Danish tech refurbishment businesses.

His optimism makes sense: robotics is set to reshape the future of e-waste management and reuse.

This week, Dainius Kavoliūnas, head of no-code platform Hostinger Horizons, shares his tips on vibe coding.

There are also genuine competitive advantages available to European green battery startups: proximity to end users, a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, and the ability to move quickly on specialised applications.

These are our tips for developing a scalable green battery business.

Data centres represent another market where European companies may have an advantage.

The goal isn’t to replace Asian suppliers entirely, but to build resilient companies that can work alongside Asian giants, rather than compete directly on their terms.

Market projections suggest European companies could capture 25-30% of the specialised industrial battery market by 2030 through technological differen…

From commercial devices and services to government systems and research projects, open source powers the internet and countless platforms we rely on daily.

Despite this importance, the budget proposal does not include specific funding for open source.

The 💜 of EU tech The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art.

By contrast, Europe’s open source approach offers a pluralistic and collaborative alternative that emphasises transparency, interoperability, and public value, and investing in the global open source ecosystem it depends on is in line with these values.

Creating an EU Sovereign Tech Fund, alongside other earmarke…

Europe’s AI startups are losing ground to the US — and their own investors are to blame.

Only 5% of global venture capital is raised in the EU, according to the European Commission.

Even when funding is available, Europe’s venture capital firms are slow and cautious.

However, American funds backing European startups operate under the same regulatory frameworks, yet their capital keeps flowing freely.

European venture deals often crawl at a bureaucrat’s pace.

Investors, eager to avoid missing out on the next big thing, were quick to back almost any startup that mentioned AI in their pitch deck.

As the CEO of Gradient Labs — an AI customer service platform for highly-regulated industries — I’ve seen investors grow wary of AI-washing: the practice of exaggerating a company’s AI use or capabilities.

Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027, while MIT research shows 95% of pilot projects fail.

For my co-founders and me, it was never about building an AI startup just because it was lucrative.

As a result, we didn’t need to rely on flashy marketing spiel or inflated promises to get the attention of VCs.

Ukrainian defence tech is tested directly on the battlefield, under the most challenging conditions.

The need to counter large-scale Russian aggression has sparked a technological boom in the defence tech sphere.

Over 30 countries have already expressed interest in Ukrainian defence innovations, signalling strong export potential for homegrown technologies.

The sector’s profit margin is 25%, the highest globally — compared with 17% in NATO countries and 15% in the EU — underscoring the economic attractiveness of Ukrainian defence tech.

Ukraine’s rapid rise as a global defence tech powerhouse is not happening in isolation.

This week, global traction strategist Nina Aziz Justin — founder of The Resilience Mentor — shares her approach to building resilience.

While execution metrics are essential for traction and scale, resilience isn’t just a soft skill.

Most compelling of all is the 2024 Founder Resilience Research Report.

It reminds us that resilience isn’t just a feel-good factor — it’s a proven, practical lever for startup success.

A more balanced lens: metrics + resilience = real tractionWe’re seeing a shift — a new generation of investors and advisors are beginning to assess both execution metrics and human metrics.

Left unchecked, Europe’s narrow focus on AI investment will come at the health of half its population.

But the surge in AI funding coinciding with a plunge in femtech investment highlights serious issues with capital allocation.

This is far from an anti-AI argument — plenty of us femtech companies are building genuinely useful AI applications for women’s health.

The goal isn’t to slow AI investment, but to ensure femtech gets its fair share of capital allocation.

Femtech isn’t another bubble waiting to burst — women’s health needs don’t disappear when VCs jump aboard the next hype train.

In this edition, Lucas Spreiter, founder of German startup Venta AI, shares his vision of AI employees.

Artificial intelligence is about to enable the most dramatic shift of the century: the transition from human labour to AI labour.

The companies that succeed in creating, training, and scaling AI employees here will define the next wave of economic leadership.

A first battlefield for AI employees: Sales automationIf there’s one field where AI employees are already proving their worth, it’s sales automation.

Instead of chasing a global market, our team in Germany is designing AI sales employees tailored to European specifics, respecting cultural norms, legal boundaries, and data protection …

But big, established businesses have a different common issue.

Established businesses need to take a page out of the startup playbook and hire for the C-suite from their competitors – the startups.

Big businesses need to hire boldly.

Startup leaders are also adept at breaking down departmental silos to build agile, cross-functional teams.

Some will question whether startup leaders can handle the big corporate machine.

This week, Vivian Acquah, a certified inclusion strategist, workshop facilitator, and founder of Amplify DEI, shares her tips on ending meeting hangovers.

But there’s one challenge, one sneaky, often-overlooked productivity killer, that might be flying under your radar: meeting hangovers.

The survey revealed that meeting hangovers affected how coworkers interacted with each other, producing negative effects on their relationships.

Why meeting hangovers are a bigger deal than you thinkDespite the name, meeting hangovers don’t just fade away as your team moves on to their next task.

From hangovers to high performance: the power of inclusion strategiesAn overlooked, yet highly effective way to…

In this edition, Cem Ötkün, CEO and co-founder of startup scouting platform Bounce Watch, shares his views on how AI is reshaping investing.

AI is no longer a futuristic add-on to the investment process — it’s becoming an operating system.

AI isn’t just solving these problems.

Drafting investment memos tailored to internal thesis frameworks.

A word of caution: systems without thinking are just noiseOf course, AI isn’t infallible.

Is Europe ready for an AV future?

Liability also remains a murky issue: if a self-driving car crashes, who’s at fault — the manufacturer, the software developer, or the passenger?

A study by Swiss Re that came out this year claimed Waymo’s autonomous vehicles have up to 92% fewer liability claims than human-driven cars.

On “Kia’s Next Big Drive,” Prins predicted that self-driving vehicles will be on European roads “soon.” But the reality is more nuanced.

One thing is certain: the self-driving future isn’t just about cars.

Opera updated its AI-powered Neon browser today with a handful of welcome integrations and usability improvements.

Following the launch of the Opera Deep Research Agent (ODRA) last October, Opera Neon is rolling out today a ‘1-minute Deep Research’ mode:“In the new one-minute-research mode, Opera Neon is dividing the problem as much as possible in order to employ as many ‘researchers’ as possible on the same task.

This new mode for the deep research agent acts as a point in-between a simple AI query and a full-on deep research that turns useful since the user is not always in need of a full deep research for every query that requires a little bit more than just an AI overview.

Finally, Neon…

Apple is seeking to invalidate a new Indian antitrust penalty formula that allows fines to be based on a company’s global turnover rather than its local revenue.

Last year, the CCI issued a report arguing that Apple had abused its position in the iOS app market.

And while the CCI has not yet issued a final ruling or imposed any penalty, Apple is trying to pre-empt the application of the 2024-revised global turnover formula, which could carry a maximum penalty of $38 billion, per the company’s calculations.

While Apple sees that a “penalty based on global turnover…would be manifestly arbitrary, unconstitutional, grossly disproportionate, unjust,” Match, in turn, believes that this could “act…

YouTuber Becca Farsace has posted a new video documenting her experience using the M5 Apple Vision Pro to replace all her other non-smartphone screens for a month.

Farsace is one of my favorite tech YouTubers, and I appreciated her balanced, thoughtful take on Apple Vision Pro in her latest video.

Using an M5 Vision Pro, Farsace replaced her desktop monitor, laptop, and TV with Apple Vision Pro.

Here’s the full video:9to5Mac’s TakeI’ve found myself similarly torn by the advantages and disadvantages of Vision Pro.

What are your takeaways from Farsace’s Apple Vision Pro experience?

Apple offers two entry level MacBook models: the MacBook Air, and the base model MacBook Pro.

Wrap upTypically, there’s around a $400 price gap between a MacBook Air and MacBook Pro once equivalently upgraded.

MacBook Air comes with 256GB of storage by default, whereas the 14-inch MacBook Pro comes in with 512GB.

With this week’s Black Friday deals, you can get a 512GB M4 MacBook Air for $949, versus $1399 for the 512GB M5 MacBook Pro.

I do like the 14-inch MacBook Pro a lot, and I’ve spent a fair amount of time utilizing both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

For the second time in recent years, a group called International Rights Advocates (IRAdvocates) is suing Apple over alleged use of conflict minerals in Congo and Rwanda.

Apple has always denied such allegationsLong-time 9to5Mac readers may remember that the issue of Apple and its subsidiaries allegedly sourcing minerals from illegal operations involving human rights violations is not new.

In early 2024, IRAdvocates sued Apple and four other tech companies over alleged illegal cobalt sourcing, but the suit was later dismissed.

Also last year, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) accused Apple subsidiaries in France and Belgium of using minerals sourced from illegal operations involving hu…

So when I got my hands on Kuxiu’s K1 Ultra, it was nice to see a product that was unique in both form and function.

Right away, the K1 Ultra stood out to me due to its premium look and feel.

The most unique part is that you can twist it, which gives a satisfying click, to unveil an Apple Watch charger.

They are also offering pre-orders for the K1 Ultra in Cosmic orange to color-match the Cosmic orange iPhone 17 Pro.

Lastly, they are offering a K1 Ultra gift box that brings the K1 Ultra (usually $79), their 65W Dual USB-C UltraSlim charger (usually $27), their 240W USB-C magnetic cable (usually $14), and a travel storage bag, all for just $99!

Синоптики в США все больше доверяют модели прогнозирования погоды от Deep Mind, а не своим старым привычным моделям. Вообще рынок прогнозов погоды огромный, и уже больше 10 лет все ждут пока новые модели (на базе обьемных вычислений, нейронок и тп) научатся гарантированно превосходить старые. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/16/google-deepmind-hurricane-forecast

Лидеры прошлой ИИ-революции побежали делать новые компании и собираются развивать World Models. Причем чем дальше тем больше. Стартовала все Fei-Fei Li, она активно начала пушить эту тему еще 5 лет назад, а теперь вот то же самое твердит Ян ЛиКун.Удивительное дело. Исследователи уходят из корпораций и получают венчурные инвестиции за то, чтобы попробовать то, что остается научным экспериментом.

OpenAI показала Aardvark — агент на базе Codex для автономного исследования проблем в безопасности. Буквально будет исследовать код, находить дырки и их показывать в коде. Любопытное решение, но далеко от полноты, тем более, что это приватная бета.https://www.zdnet.com/article/openai-unveils-aardvark-a-gpt-5-powered-agent-for-autonomous-cybersecurity-research/

Cursor запускает Cursor 2.0, свою первую модель для кодирования Composer, которая, по словам компании, в 4 раза быстрее аналогичных моделей. Я бы не верил особо, отзывы от тех, кто успел посмотреть, пока сомнительные.https://cursor.com/blog/2-0

OpenAI купили разработчика Sky.app — небольшого приложения, которое улучшало использование ИИ на десктопе.

Вообще Snap (который снапчат) - довольно успешная компания. Но вот история с очками, которые уже который год производятся в убыток - тянет компанию назад довольно существенно. Эван нашел решение - AR-подразделение поднимает инвестиции, отдельно от основной компании. Похоже что инвесторами станет фонд Саудовской Аравии. https://sources.news/p/snap-eyes-1-billion-fundraise-for

Первая в мире камера, в которой есть алгоритмическая система подтверждения, что это именно фото, данные в нем неизменны и получены с датчика фото. Подтверждение построено на базе ZK и покрывает не только пиксели, но и метадату.В некоторых фотоаппаратах такое уже пробовали делать, но очень уж примитивно, а тут все по серьезному. Вот к чему приводит развитие нейросетей — теперь нам нужны камеры с аппаратным подтверждением подлинности. Красиво, ничего не скажешь. Правда, непонятно, кто мешает вскрыть камеру, нанести на ее сенсор нужные пиксели и зафиксировать кадр ...https://roc.camera

Я большой фанат и все еще верю, что Cloud Gaming (это когда играешь ты на серверах, а у тебя только тонкий клиент) - это большое будущее. И похоже Amazon тоже так считает - они перезапускают Luna, свой игровой сервис. Добавили многопользовательские игры что важно, и теперь для пользователей Prime сервис доступен без дополнительной платы https://www.engadget.com/gaming/amazons-revamped-luna-streaming-service-is-available-now-130000613.html

OpenAI запустили браузер Atlas. Умеет отвечать на вопросы по странице, но и Агентский режим тоже есть — это когда браузер используется как агент и буквально сам ходит по страницам.

Впечатляет, да.https://www.axios.com/2025/10/21/openai-atlas-new-ai-web-browser-release-date

Эппл не только рассказал про новые чипы M5, но и простым пресс-релизом обьявил, что новые айпад про будут на этом чипсете. Я все никак понять не могу, что нужно запускать на айпаде, чтобы загрузить этот процессор. По сути это в 2-3 раза более быстрый процессор при рейтрейсинге. Но зачем?
