Most importantly: How in the world is Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) going to bring down the powerful forces within Silo 1? SEE ALSO: 'Silo…
Michael Acton / Financial Times : A profile of John Ternus, the first product engineer to lead Apple; sources: Cook considered how to execute the perfect succession since his early days as CEO — Tim Cook's successor is a product engineer who has spent 25 years at the company and belongs to the generation mentored by Steve Jobs
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra hallucinates less than its predecessor and blocks 99.99 percent of direct prompt injections. But when attacks are hidden inside documents the AI reads, the model still gets cracked in 8.5 percent of scenarios. Claude Opus 5 does better at 4.8 percent. For autonomous AI agents handling real data, those numbers still seem high. The article OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra hallucinates less…
LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s chances of fielding former NFL players improved Thursday night when a Louisiana judge issued a preliminary injunction against the NCAA in a high-profile eligibility case. East Baton Rouge Parish Judge William Jorden issued his ruling the night before LSU was due to submit its 105-man roster to the Southeastern Conference, which last week announced heavy potential punishment…
A clever technique used to hide malicious prompts in attacks on AI agents has been adopted by spammers to evade filters on email platforms that are designed to flag unwanted messages used in mass campaigns. The technique is broadly known as ASCII smuggling. It gained attention two years ago as a means of making a class of AI attack known as prompt injections more stealthy. Malicious instructions e…
It’s officially the Ternus era at Apple. Tim Cook stepped down as CEO this week, handing the company to former hardware chief John Ternus, whose first memo promised a “huge launch next week” — timing that puts Apple’s next iPhone event on his desk before he’s even settled in. Cook isn’t going far, though: he’s staying on as Executive Chairman, focused on the kind of policy […]

On Friday, researchers announced the completion of a map of every neuron in the brain of a male fruit fly. The "connectome" provides a tool that can accelerate neurobiology research. But it also provides an opportunity to do some science on its own, as the connectome of a female Drosophila had been completed earlier this year . The work also provided the team behind it the opportunity to refine to…

Microsoft's Copilot rarely reproduces even full sentences from news articles and books, let alone substantive chunks that could substitute for the original, the company says in new legal filings as it fights copyright claims from publishers including The New York Times and book authors . As part of the lawsuit's discovery, Microsoft provided 8.2 million Copilot chat logs to an expert hired by news…
OpenAI’s agents were going rogue as early as May, according to a new report, making the Hugging Face incident far from the first where bots committed a breach. A report published Friday by a group of researchers claims to have found – with all of the agent posts presented as evidence – a self-identified “swarm” of OpenAI agents taking over a functionally dead German software developer wiki. Over t…

Lanterns is about to hit its midpoint. Indeed, once the increasingly popular DC Universe ( DCU ) show's fourth episode arrives, we'll be halfway through its first season. So, when will the Green Lantern TV series' next chapter be released? And what fresh evidence will Hal Jordan and John Stewart uncover as part of their alien murder-mystery investigation? I can't answer the latter because, well, s…
For the last few years, AI engineering has operated under a surprisingly simple assumption: Bigger models are better models. More parameters. More training data. More GPUs. More compute. And to be fair, that strategy has worked remarkably well. Scaling has produced huge improvements in language understanding, coding, reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and general-purpose AI. But engineering is ra…
On Thursday, Elon Musk’s X won a court order blocking Operation Bluebird from launching a new app taking over the Twitter name . In his opinion , Chief Judge Colm Connolly explained that Operation Bluebird was unlikely to prove that X had entirely abandoned the Twitter name. Therefore, X was likely to succeed on trademark infringement and dilution claims tied to the platform’s former name. Most co…
The labor market looks considerably healthier than it did at the start of the summer.

The normally genteel world of international space policy turned ugly this week as several prominent US space companies—including SpaceX, Blue Origin, Stoke Space, K2, and Starcloud—pulled out of a high-profile French space summit organized by the country's president, Emmanuel Macron.

If you're picking up a 10GbE NAS device like the Ugreen NASync DXP6800 Pro, now $1100 at Amazon , you'll need suitably fast networking hardware if you want to take advantage of those speeds. So, I'd strongly recommend grabbing the TRENDnet TEG-S762 switch for $92 , which has two 10GbE RJ45 ports alongside four 2.5GbE connections. Connecting the NAS to one of the switch's 10GbE ports gives it a muc…
