Astrid Eichhorn spends her days thinking about how the laws of physics change at the tiniest scales.

The changes happen in a fairly regular way, so physicists have a good sense of how they work … until they don’t.

Gravity, a force that’s too weak to notice at the scale of atoms, grows strong in an erratic way.

Some physicists argue that this failure point in our understanding tells us that the universe is fundamentally composed not of particles, but of vibrating strings and membranes.

In particular, Eichhorn has emphasized the importance of taking into account the ways in which matter affects space-time, and vice versa.

Temporal: The 9-Year Journey to Fix Time in JavaScriptPublished on 11 March 2026Welcome to our blog!

In that conversation, Daniel Ehrenberg (then working at Igalia) pointed Andrew at the early Temporal work because it looked strikingly similar to Bloomberg's existing value-semantic datetime types.

Here are the types Temporal comes packed with:If you don't know which Temporal type you need, start with Temporal.ZonedDateTime .

const date = Temporal .

A Better Time for JavaScript #Temporal is the result of nearly a decade of work across companies, engines, and individuals.

Then they learn to stand up, and they'll fall on their bum a lot, sometimes bumping other parts when they do—also ouchies!

MPs have rejected a Lords amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would allow a social media ban for under 16s.

Instead, they have voted to give ministers much broader powers which could be used to restrict Internet access to under 18s.

This will give ministers huge powers to restrict the Internet without having to pass new legislation.

The powers could be used to restrict access to websites, social media platforms, apps and games of their choosing.

MPs also rejected a Lords amendment to restrict access to VPNs, but gave Ministers the power to introduce such a measure.

A Swiss canton has suspended its pilot of electronic voting after failing to count 2,048 votes cast in national referendums held on March 8.

Basel-Stadt announced the problem with its e-voting pilot, open to about 10,300 locals living abroad and 30 people with disabilities, last Friday afternoon.

"Three USB sticks were used, all with the correct code, but none of them worked," spokesperson Marco Greiner told the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's Swissinfo service.

The country's Federal Chancellery said e-voting in three other cantons – Thurgau, Graubünden, and St Gallen – along with the nationally used Swiss Post e-voting system, had not been affected.

The Magic Trackpad first appeared on that MacBook and the early 2015 MacBook Pros — it was nice-to-have for the MacBook Pros, but might have been the only trackpad that would fit in the front of the MacBook One’s tapered case.

Pike - Solving the "should we stop here or gamble on the next exit" problem04 Mar, 2026Why Google & Apple Maps don't workPicking the right exit when you are road-tripping is not a solved problem.

v2 - Non-directed interstate graphSecond iteration was to pull interstate data from OpenStreetMaps (OSM) and build a non-directed graph of the interstates.

Just pre-compute the sequence of exits and create canonicalized exit & exit sequence data - AKA a linked list.

Well - imagine how well that worked for exits that don't actually exit the interstate, but instead take you onto another interstate?

Pike was a wonderful lesson on how OSM data works and the tooling ecosystem that surrounds it.

The Full-Source Bootstrap: Building from source all the way downJanneke Nieuwenhuizen, Ludovic Courtès — April 26, 2023We are delighted and somewhat relieved to announce that the third reduction of the Guix bootstrap binaries has now been merged in the main branch of Guix!

The Road to Full-Source BootstrapThree years ago, the bootstrap binaries were reduced to just GNU Mes and MesCC-Tools (and the driver to build Guix packages: a static build of GNU Guile 2.0.9).

In the event of a crash or ROLLBACK, the original content contained in the rollback journal is played back into the database file to revert the database file to its original state.

On the other hand, read performance deteriorates as the WAL file grows in size since each reader must check the WAL file for the content and the time needed to check the WAL file is proportional to the size of the WAL file.

The wal-index helps find content in the WAL file much faster, but performance still falls off with increasing WAL file size.

If a process sets WAL mode, then closes and reopens the database, the database will come back in WAL mode.

Thus parts of the transaction from step 3 never reach the data…

The keys came with iconography – ⇧ and ⌘ and ⌥ – that allowed their presence in menus and eventually tooltips to be compact, which meant you could announce them more easily on cramped screens of yesteryear.

…more advanced keyboard shortcuts in various apps started reaching for either ⇧ or ⌥ or ⌃ – first in addition to ⌘, and eventually solo – because all were available.

And, as both operating systems started appearing on notebooks, they welcomed to the bottom row the already well-established Fn key.

Under “contributing factors” the note included “novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established.”“Folks, as you likely know, the availability of the site and related infrastructure has not been good recently,” Dave Treadwell, a seni…

Unfortunately, the B string is now out of tune with the G string at 64/27 Hz.

The bottom line: there is no way to tune the guitar so that every string is in tune with every other string.

If you’re a guitarist, you know that no matter how you tune your guitar, it won’t stay in tune for long anyway, so how much does any of this even matter?

Blanchard's account is that he never looked at the existing source code directly.

That question is this: does legal mean legitimate?

Derivative works built on chardet 7.0 are under no obligation to share their source code.

The chardet situation suggests the argument has to go further: to a specification copyleft covering the layer below source code.

Whatever courts eventually decide about AI reimplementation, the question we need to answer first is not a legal one.

Ideally, we first calculate Burrito Price , notice that its output has changed, then recalculate Burrito Price w Ship , and finally recalculate Total .

However, if we instead recalculate Total first, we'll have to recalculate it a second time once the new $9 burrito price propagates down.

On New Year’s Day, programmer Steve Yegge launched Gas Town, an open-source platform that lets users orchestrate swarms of Claude Code agents simultaneously, assembling software at blistering speed.

Historically in practice literate programming is most commonly found as Jupyter notebooks in the data science community, where explanations live alongside calculations and their results in a web browser.

That said, I have had enough success with using literate programming for bookkeeping personal configuration that I have not been able to fully give up on the idea, even before the advent of LLMs.

The fundamental extra labor of literate programming, which I believe is why it is not widely practiced, is eliminated by the agent and it utilizes capabilities t…

RSS's liftoff was driven by Google, who released a great RSS reader called "Google Reader" in 2007.

Firefox has a built-in "Reader View" that re-renders the contents of a web-page as black type on a white background.

You can skip this whole process by simply toggling Reader View as soon as you get the login pop up.

On some websites (like The Verge and Wired), you'll only see the first couple paragraphs of the article in Reader View.

Activate Reader View puts a Reader View toggle on every page, but clicking that toggle sometimes throws up an error message, when the page is so cursed that Firefox can't figure out what part of it is the article.

Steve Ruiz joins us for a deep-dive on tldraw (a very good free whiteboard) and the business he’s built selling SDKs that help others build very good whiteboards (and more) with tldraw’s high-performance web canvas.

Along the way, we discuss the excitement/fear we share about keeping our agents busy, how SDK and infra companies are affected differently by agentic software than SaaS companies, how Steve is approaching the coming era of internal tooling, what will happen when we equip LLMs with an infinite canvas, and more.

Because of that, I'm quite familiar with the Apt package manager.

apt list --installed - lists all installed applications2. apt purgeWhen you remove a package with sudo apt remove , you're only removing the software.

One thing to keep in mind is that the results of an apt search can be fuzzy.

However, if space is an issue, you can clear the Apt cache with the commands:sudo apt cleansudo apt autoclean7. apt markThere might be an occasion when you don't want an application to upgrade.

To do that, the command would be:sudo apt download virtualboxThe .deb file will be saved to the current working directory.

Also: You can try Linux without ditching Windows first - here's howOut of everything, it's probably the Zen Package Manager that makes Zenclora special.

Once you've run that installation, you can then install Steam with the command:sudo zen install steamYou're now ready to get your game on.

With GNOME Software, Zenclora feels a bit more complete, as you can install anything you need from within a GUI.

Of course, I'm not convinced that's all it took for the Zenclora developer to achieve the custom look.

If you want to try Zenclora, download the ISO, burn it to a USB drive, install, and enjoy this user-friendly Linux distribution.

ASUS says the MacBook Neo is a "shock" to the Windows PC ecosystem. "In the past, Apple's pricing situation has always been high, so for them to release a very budget-friendly product, this is obviously a shock to the entire industry," said ASUS co-CEO S.Y. Hsu in a Tuesday earnings call. While he expects PC makers to respond, rising AI-driven memory shortages could push hardware prices higher across the industry. PCMag reports: Hsu said he believes all the PC players -- including Microsoft, Intel, and AMD -- take the MacBook Neo threat seriously. "In fact, in the entire PC ecosystem, there have been a lot of discussions about how to compete with this product," he added, given that rumors a…

Meta will begin charging advertisers a 2-5% "location fee" to offset digital services taxes imposed by several European countries, including the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Turkey. Reuters reports: The fee, for image or video ads delivered on Meta platforms including WhatsApp click-to-message campaigns and marketing messages together with ads, will apply from July 1 and will also cover other government-imposed levies. "Until now, Meta has covered these additional costs. These changes are part of Meta's ongoing effort to respond to the evolving regulatory landscape and align with industry standards," the company said in the blog. The location fees are determined by where the audie…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI), a new Paris-based startup cofounded by Meta's former chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, announced Monday it has raised more than $1 billion to develop AI world models. LeCun argues that most human reasoning is grounded in the physical world, not language, and that AI world models are necessary to develop true human-level intelligence. "The idea that you're going to extend the capabilities of LLMs [large language models] to the point that they're going to have human-level intelligence is complete nonsense," he said in an interview with WIRED. The financing, which values the startup at $3.5 billion, was co-led by…

Valve is facing a new consumer class-action lawsuit two weeks after New York sued the video game company for "letting children and adults illegally gamble" with loot boxes. The new lawsuit is similar, alleging that loot boxes in games like Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 are "carefully engineered to extract money from consumers, including children, through deceptive, casino-style psychological tactics." "We believe Valve deliberately engineered its gambling platform and profited enormously from it," Steve Berman, founder and managing partner at law firm Hagens Berman, said in a press release. "Consumers played these games for entertainment, unaware that Valve had allegedly alr…

Van Allen Probe A, a 1,300-pound (600 kg) NASA satellite launched in 2012 to study Earth's radiation belts, is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere this week. While most of it is expected to burn up during descent, "some components may survive," reports the BBC. "The space agency said there is a one in 4,200 chance of being harmed by a piece of the probe, which it characterized as 'low' risk." From the report: The spacecraft is projected to re-enter around 19:45 EST (00:45 GMT) on Tuesday the U.S. Space Force predicted, according to Nasa, though there is a 24-hour margin of "uncertainty" in the timing. [...] The spacecraft and its twin, Van Allen Probe B, were on a mission to gather unpr…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Financial Times: Amazon's ecommerce business has summoned a large group of engineers to a meeting on Tuesday for a "deep dive" into a spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools. The online retail giant said there had been a "trend of incidents" in recent months, characterized by a "high blast radius" and "Gen-AI assisted changes" among other factors, according to a briefing note for the meeting seen by the FT. Under "contributing factors" the note included "novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." "Folks, as you likely know, the availability of the site and related inf…

Tony Hoare, the Turing Award-winning pioneer who created the Quicksort algorithm, developed Hoare logic, and advanced theories of concurrency and structured programming, has died at age 92. News of his passing was shared today in a blog post. The site I Programmer also commemorated Hoare in a post highlighting his contributions to computer science and the lasting impact of his work. Personal accounts have been shared on Hacker News and Reddit. Many Slashdotters may know Hoare for his aphorism regarding software design: "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicate…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from IEEE Spectrum: Worried that your latest ask to a cloud-based AI reveals a bit too much about you? Want to know your genetic risk of disease without revealing it to the services that compute the answer? There is a way to do computing on encrypted data without ever having it decrypted. It's called fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE. But there's a rather large catch. It can take thousands -- even tens of thousands -- of times longer to compute on today's CPUs and GPUs than simply working with the decrypted data. So universities, startups, and at least one processor giant have been working on specialized chips that could close that gap. Last month at t…

Last November, Amazon sued Perplexity demanding that the AI search startup stop allowing its AI browser agent, Comet, to make purchases for users online. Today, a judge ruled in favor of the tech giant, granting it a temporary court injunction blocking the scraping of Amazon's website. According to court filings, the judge found strong evidence the tool accessed the retailer's systems "without authorization." CNBC reports: In a ruling dated Monday, U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney wrote that Amazon has provided "strong evidence" that Perplexity's Comet browser accessed its website at the user's direction, but "without authorization" from the e-commerce giant. Chesney said Amazon submitted…

sziring shares a report from Business Insider: Silicon Valley has long competed for talent with ever-richer pay packages built around salary, bonus, and equity. Now, a fourth line item is creeping into the mix: AI inference. As generative AI tools become embedded in software development, the cost of running the underlying models -- known as inference -- is emerging as a productivity driver and a budget line that finance chiefs can't ignore. Software engineers and AI researchers inside tech companies have already been jousting for access to GPUs, with this AI compute capacity being carefully parceled out based on which projects are most important. Now, some tech job candidates have begun ask…

AT&T plans to invest more than $250 billion over the next five years to expand U.S. telecom infrastructure for the AI age. The company says it will also hire thousands of technicians while partnering with AST SpaceMobile to extend coverage to remote areas. Reuters reports: Rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and connected devices has prompted telecom operators to invest heavily in fiber and 5G networks as they also seek to fend off intensifying competition from cable broadband providers. AT&T, which has about 110,000 employees in the U.S., said the new hires will help build and maintain its infrastructure. The outlay includes capital expenditure and other spending, th…

Since 1999, Slashdot has been covering the annual Ig Nobel prize ceremonies -- which honor real scientific research into strange or surprising subjects. "After 35 years in Boston, the annual prize ceremony will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, this year and will continue to be held in a European city for the foreseeable future," reports Ars Technica. "The reason: concerns about the safety of international travelers, who are increasingly reluctant to travel to the U.S. to participate." "During the past year, it has become unsafe for our guests to visit the country," Marc Abrahams, master of ceremonies and editor of The Annals of Improbable Research magazine, told The Associated Press.

lines with a regex to get the results I want.Long ago I wrote my own ad-hoc function to include a

Two testing-related things I found recently.Unified exception testingKacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception

testing, and linked to pytest docs and a

StackOverflow answer with similar approaches.The common way to test exceptions is to use

pytest.raises as a context manager, and have

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

This morning I shared a link to this site, and the recipient said, “it looks

color. No, they were talking about the URL, which ended with “.html”.This site started almost 24 years ago as

a static site: a pile of .html files created on my machine and uploaded to the

server. The URLs naturally had .html extensions. It was common in web sites of

the time.Over the years, the technology has changed. In 2008, it was still a static

site on the host, but produced with

Django running locally. In 2021, it became a

real Django site on the host.Through all these changes, the URLs remained the same—they still had

[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the

Netflix is driving the Hollywood end game, likely confident it can increase the value of IP, and fend off YouTube.

Осознал недавно, чем вайб-кодинг в его классическом виде похож на лудоманию и при чем тут дофамин

Что за вайб-кодинг такой

Давайте сначала начнем с определений. Не каждая разработка с ллмкой — вайб-кодинг, но каждый вайб-кодинг — разработка с помощью ллмки.

Вайб-кодингом я буду называть программирование с помощью ллмки, в котором есть вот такие характеристики: Мало изначального планирования. Буквально короткое описание, вкинутое в ллмку и потом разберемся походу.

Попытка сразу попасть в нужную конечную точку. Желательно за одну итерацию.

Значительная часть кода написана ллмкой. Человек в целом не читает весь код, не проверяет его, только смотрит на результат. Архитектура придумана тоже ллмк…

OpenAI and Nvidia are both under threat from Google; I like OpenAI's chances best, but they need an advertising model to beat Google as an Aggregator.

The Outagamie County Asylum Cemetery holds the bodies of at least 133 former patients who died at the asylum between 1891 and 1949. There were originally numbered stones (without names) to identify burials. Today, there are only stone markers, each indicting a row of burials. A stone plaque at the eastern edge of the cemetery gives the names of the patients buried in there. Today the cemetery is know as the Outagamie County Cemetery. The Outagamie County Asylum for the Chronic Insane opened in 1890 and closed in 2000. The maximum number of patients was about 250. The asylum was torn town in 2000. The cemetery and a stone bridge are all that remain.

For AnneMette Bontaites, running the New York City Marathon was supposed to be a one-time experience. A personal challenge, a bucket-list item, and then back to normal life

But somewhere between the starting line and the finish, plans changed.

The decision to run that first marathon was almost a whim. Bontaites, a Denmark native who now lives in Boston, had run two half marathons and joked to her best friend, “Well, two halves make a whole. I've done a marathon.’”

The friend, also a runner, begged to differ on that distance math and made her an offer: She’d fly to New York from the pair’s home city of Copenhagen and they’d run Bontaites’s first marathon together. By mile 18, the friends had…

Trumpeter swans are the largest swans in the world and the biggest and heaviest native waterfowl species in North America. But in the late 1800s, they were critically endangered due to hunting for meat and feathers. Trumpeters went locally extinct in in the province of Ontario in 1886. At one time, there were fewer than 100 Trumpeters in the entire continent.

In the 1980s, conservation efforts and a breeding program brought Trumpeter Swans back from the brink of extinction in North America. One of those captive-bred swans, Pig Pen, was the first Trumpeter Swan in Ontario in more than 100 years to migrate south, choosing to overwinter at LaSalle Park in Burlington in 1993.

Trumpeter swans ar…

Dangar Island is just an hour from Sydney and serviced by train and ferry on the Sydney Opal network. With just 300 residents it is quirkily car-free and the locals get their shopping home by wheel-barrow or volunteer-run buggy. Many homes on the hill have mechanical flying fox or furnicular trollies to get bulky items up the steep slopes.

A truly unique environment, it has a strong community spirit with lots going on including a community garden (D.I.G.) and a rich history. A cafe at the ferry wharf makes for relaxing day trips and there are holiday homes for rent for a longer, relaxing stay. The Riverboat Postman, the last mail service for water-only access homes in Australia, calls in at…

Reminiscent of vintage adventure movies, Chebika Oasis looks like a perfect hiding place for Alibaba's thieves' treasure, or a resting spot for ever-wandering caravans.

This beautiful natural gem in the heart of the Sahara desert also bears the nickname "Qasr el-Shams", meaning "Palace of the Sun" in Arabic, and there are no better words to describe the place. A river flows through the rocks, and there is a gorgeous waterfall, gently watering a palm tree grove.

A small old town used to exist near the oasis, but was abandoned in 1969 because of an enormous flooding which took the life of over 400 people. Nowadays, a few hundred people reside in the nearby village of Chebika, built after the …

The best road trip moments are the unplanned ones — when something catches your eye and you just pull over. That's what happened in Gravette, Arkansas, a town of a few thousand that calls itself "Hometown America" on its water tower. I spotted a U.S. Air Force jet mounted in a town park and did a U-turn. What I found was a whole compressed world: a memorial to Captain Field Kindley, the third-ranking American ace of World War I, who grew up on those very streets and died in a plane crash in 1920 at just 24 — after surviving the war. Nearby, a pentagon-shaped stone dedicated by Boy Scout Troop 117 read "May They Never Be Forgotten." And right next to it all: a time capsule sealed in 1993, no…

Every March 10, the internet fills with red caps and pixelated plumbers.

When written as MAR10, the date happens to resemble the name “Mario,” which is reason enough for fans—and Nintendo itself—to celebrate the world’s most famous video game plumber. This year the festivities are a little bigger: Super Mario Bros., the platformer that helped define modern gaming, is marking forty years since its international debut.

In the Swedish town of Kungsbacka, Mario already has a permanent post. A life-size version of the character stands outside an office building—red cap, blue overalls, unmistaka…

The Museum of Radio & Technology explores the birth and evolution of electronic communication and entertainment with artifacts ranging from the earliest broadcast radios to mid-century televisions to vintage computers.

Founded in 1991, the museum grew from a passion project into one of the nation’s standout collections of historical electronic gear. It preserves not just old radios but the stories of how communities connected, from the uses of Morse code to the golden age of radio broadcasts to the dawn of television.

Visitors can wander among cathedral-cabinet radios, early broadcast equipment, military communications gear, and even a working ham radio station. A dedicated section honors t…

When the Mauritanian iron ore railway was being constructed in the 1960s, this line of track through the desert had a problem.

Officials within the region, at this point still under the auspices of French colonialism, indentified that the most convenient route for the train would in fact briefly go through Western Sahara, at this point territory controlled by Spain.

Rather than the involvement of diplomacy, and likely monies given to the Spanish government, it was instead decided to tunnel through two kilometres of granite in the mountainside near the town of Choum.

Initially, the iron ore train did run through this tunnel. However, in 1991, it was decided by railway bosses within the now i…

When you walk through the door at Griffith & Feil Soda Fountain in Kenova, it feels like someone flicked a switch back to another era. Here, in a pharmacy with roots stretching back to 1892, the soda fountain isn’t a decorative relic; it’s a living centerpiece where locals and visitors gather for milkshakes, root beer floats, and burgers. Beneath the metal-tiled ceiling, soda jerks pull tart-sweet phosphate drinks and sling sundaes across the counter the same way they were made over a century ago. But it’s not all sweets and comfort food; the store is still a working pharmacy. Current owner Ric Griffith and his daughter, Heidi, keep the drugstore alive as well. Sip a malt while you wait for…

In a cozy restaurant in downtown Huntington, steak and spaghetti have enough star power to draw presidents, boxers, and musicians.

The story began in 1938 when Jim Tweel opened a small restaurant serving cheeseburgers and milkshakes in an old dairy store. By 1962, Tweel merged the eatery with a local spaghetti house and, after a bit of remodeling and menu tweaking, christened the restaurant Jim’s Steak and Spaghetti House.

Even all these years later, retro touches abound, from the green vinyl booths to the servers in crisp uniforms to a menu that has changed very little over the years. The signature spaghetti sauce has been made with the same recipe since the 1930s, and the ribeye steak din…

When you step inside the Poky Dot, it’s hard not to instantly feel cheerful. From the bright yellow booths to the hamburger wallpaper to the towering milkshakes served in chocolate-dipped mason jars, everything appears bigger and more colorful here. With a soundtrack of 1950s music and retro decor, the ambience feels like a candy-colored time capsule. Whether you’re tucking into the nine-pound banana split, a pile of onion rings, or s'mores French toast, every meal feels a bit like a celebration. The menu includes standard diner comforts like burgers and breakfast platters, but the true standouts here are the homemade desserts. Clocking in at nine pounds, the banana split is a particularly …

Nestled deep in the Allegheny Highlands, Watoga State Park offers a rare refuge from the glow of city lights. Its name itself comes from a Cherokee term meaning “starry waters,” a poetic reminder that the sky overhead is as much a part of this landscape as the pine and hardwood forests.

In 2021, Watoga—along with adjacent Calvin Price State Forest and Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park—became an officially certified Dark Sky Park by DarkSky International, a global nonprofit dedicated to protecting night skies. That designation means Watoga meets exacting standards for darkness, lighting control, and public engagement, making it one of the darkest publicly accessible skies in the eastern …

Installed in 2020, Gesellschaftsspiegel is a public artwork in Hamburg by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. Two brown-black patinated brass sculptures, each about 28 feet (8.5 meters) tall, stand on raised legs, allowing visitors to walk underneath. Their geometric forms, a triangular base and a diamond shape, contrast with the ornate historic buildings nearby. From a distance, they resemble abstract rockets on stilts. Inside, a kaleidoscope of angled mirrors reflects fragments of the surrounding architecture and sky, creating shifting patterns that change with light and movement.

The title Gesellschaftsspiegel translates as “society mirror.” Eliasson has said the work is intended to…

Bliss, a Finland-headquartered mental health startup, has raised €232.4k ($270k) in angel funding to build what it calls “culturally intelligent” AI infrastructure for therapy.

We’re building AI that understands the cultural layer of mental health, because that’s where most systems fail,” said Jona Doda, founder of Bliss.

It’s a culturally attuned therapy platform helping diaspora communities and companies with diverse, international workforces access mental health care that understands their language, culture, and background.

The startup claims that, unlike the numerous generic AI therapy bots available in the market, Bliss positions its AI as infrastructure that amplifies human care rathe…

finperks, a Berlin-based FinTech startup building the API infrastructure layer for the global prepaid market, has raised €3.4 million ($4 million) in a pre-Seed funding round.

AMI is developing a new kind of AI systems that comprehend the world, possess persistent memory, and are capable of reasoning, planning, and remaining controllable and safe.

According to AMI, real-world data is continuous, high-dimensional, and noisy, whether it is obtained through cameras or any other sensor modality.

However, since much real-world sensor data is unpredictable, generative methods often fall short.

It is time to move beyond shortcuts and work on a foundational solution.”This is where world data comes in.

“AMI is developing world models that learn abstract representations of real-world sensor data, ignoring unpredictable details, and that make predictions in representation s…

In practice, this means enterprises moving away from “AI features” towards AI workers handling entire processes.

Tipping autonomous workflows for take-offThere’s no doubt that agentic AI is where the enterprise AI puck is moving next.

Intuitively, enterprise software incumbents should be leading the way in the pivot towards autonomous workflows.

The startups behind the momentumIn 2026, we’ll see even more AI-native startups launch products centred around autonomous workflows.

This is a crucial development that speaks to a broader trend shaping enterprise AI and what it means to be a successful enterprise technology company in 2026 and beyond.

Seprify, a Fribourg-based biomaterials company developing high-performance cellulose-based ingredients for industrial applications, today announced that it has raised €13.4 million (CHF 12.25 million) in Series A funding.

Supported by this funding, the company has also announced the transition of its cellulose platform from pilot validation into procurement-ready industrial supply.

In the near term, that means supporting cosmetics and personal care, including suncare, as well as food and pet food.

We are also scaling for higher-volume applications such as coatings, inks and printed electronics, reflecting the broader potential of our cellulose platform,” said Lukas Schertel, co-founder and …

Paris-founded Escape, an offensive security engineering platform, has raised €15.4 million ($18 million) in Series A funding to automate the entire security lifecycle with AI agents.

We are building Escape as the offensive security engineering platform to solve that problem at scale,” said Tristan Kalos, CEO and co-founder of Escape.

Point-in-time pentesting and fragmented legacy tools can’t keep pace, leaving security teams who are currently outnumbered 100-to-1 by developers, overwhelmed and exposed.

The company is used by more than 2,000 security teams globally, including companies such as BetterHelp, PandaDoc, CyberCube and Arkose Labs.

Overall, Escape now conducts over 300,000 security…

Qevlar AI, a Paris-based startup providing an agentic AI Security Operations Centre (SOC) platform that automates and deepens security investigations, has raised €25.8 million ($30 million) in funding for its platform.

The funding will be used to turn alert investigations into security insights that help SOC teams strengthen their overall security posture.

Ahmed Achchak, Qevlar AI co-founder and CEO, said, “Today, most SOCs measure success by how many alerts they tackle and how quickly they are resolved.

According to the company, SOC teams are overwhelmed by the volume of threat alerts they must manage.
