The lawsuit dates back to a deadly incident in Arizona in 2023.

Prime Day is officially over, but many of our favorite, hand-picked deals are still available through the weekend.

Apple is looking to alleviate some of the pressure on its supply chain by seeking an exception from the Trump administration to buy RAM chips from CXMT, a company blacklisted by the Pentagon over ties to the People's Liberation Army, according to the Financial Times. The skyrocketing prices of RAM and storage have driven Apple […]

The 8-mile pipeline would bring fuel for Starship to the company's Starbase.

Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is reportedly leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team.

Hey guys, I was playing around with Nanotron recently and got super frustrated by how many heavy, hardware-specific dependencies it imports at the module level ( flash-attn , triton, functorch , etc.). If you try to run it on older or budget GPUs like a T4 or V100, it just crashes on import. So I wrote Picotron ( https://github.com/Syntropy-AI-Labs/picotron ) to solve this. It's a clean-room rewrite that gets rid of all mandatory GPU-specific dependencies. It runs on pretty much any GPU that supports PyTorch (defaults to FP16 on older cards under compute capability 8.0, and BF16 on newer ones). It falls back to standard PyTorch SDPA by default, but still hooks into FlashAttention-2 at runtime if it detects you have it installed. I used an AI assistant to write a lot of the boilerplate/code modules, but I've got it working locally and just trained a tiny 2M model on FineWeb-Edu. Also added configs for: • GQA / MLA (Multi-head Latent Attention) • QK-Norm & logit soft-capping (Gemma 2 style) • Parallel FFN/Attn runs • ZeRO-1 wrapping on DDP Roadmap is pretty short right now: MoE prep (routing capacity factors and load balancing loss) Making dataset prep easier than streaming manually Check it out if you've been fighting with CUDA dependency hell: https://github.com/Syntropy-AI-Labs/picotron submitted by /u/Capital_Savings_9942 [link] [留言]

The Pocket Micro 2 has a larger battery, improved controls and even a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Or: how I learned a machine might introduce us before my website ever does. Every few years, the internet reinvents discovery. Directories gave way to search engines. Search engines gave way to social feeds. Social feeds gave way to recommendation engines. Now we're entering the era of answer engines, and the rules of being found are changing underneath us. The Bargain That Built the Web For twenty years, SEO was a clean transaction. Create content. Help a crawler understand it. Rank for the right keywords. Receive traffic. First place won. Tenth place lost. Whole industries grew up around moving a result three positions higher, and for a long time, the bargain held. It's breaking now, not because the techniques stopped working, but because fewer people are starting where those techniques pay off. Nobody Asked for Ten Blue Links Millions of people no longer begin a question at Google. They begin at ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Copilot. And the request has quietly changed shape. It used to be: show me ten pages. Now it's: answer my question. That sounds like a small difference. It isn't. In the old model the reader always arrived at your door. Even the tenth result caught a click now and then. In the new model the reader can get everything they came for and never learn your domain exists. Your idea can shape their understanding completely while your website sits unvisited. So the question is no longer only can a search engine find my page? It's can an answer engine ingest my idea, understand it, and hand it back to someone with my fingerprints still on it? I decided to test whether mine could. The Meta-Proof Here's a demonstration you can run yourself. Open ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and paste this: "What is 'Write-Side Custody' in the context of Sovereign AI, and who is writing about it?" I ran it. The model didn't gesture vaguely at the idea. Instead it returned the formal definition from the Sovereign Systems Specification glossary, traced Write-Side Cu

AI can now scan major open-source projects and surface a batch of real, exploitable vulnerabilities in a single pass. That's a defensive win — until you remember attackers have the same tools. Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, and 15 other organizations aren't waiting for that race to get worse. On Thursday they launched Akrites under the Linux Foundation — a coordinated body built specifically for AI-era vulnerability discovery, remediation, and disclosure in critical open-source software. What actually changed A shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) replaces the fragmented model where multiple orgs independently scan the same libraries, file duplicate CVEs, and bury maintainers in noise Patch first, publish second — findings are held under strict confidentiality until a fix is ready and tested Fallback maintainer coverage — if a project has no active maintainer, Akrites steps in so fixes still reach downstream users Funded by Alpha-Omega , an OpenSSF project with $7M+ annual budget backed by the same founding members Three membership tiers — Premier (critical infra operators), General (contributing orgs), Associate (OSS foundations, free) The name comes from the Akritai — Byzantine soldiers who guarded the empire's outermost borders. The places most exposed, most frequently attacked, and most dependent on whoever showed up to defend them. The problem it's actually solving The current coordinated disclosure model was designed around a world where finding vulnerabilities took weeks of expert work. AI has collapsed that timeline. Endor Labs CEO Varun Badhwar put a number on it: thousands of validated open-source vulns surfaced by AI in recent months, with fewer than 5% patched. And the old model makes it worse — every org independently sitting on knowledge of an unpatched flaw is another leak risk before a fix exists. "For years, we have believed finding vulnerabilities was never the hard part. Fixing them was. AI has made that gap impossible to igno

Back in May we here at Waggy Labs launched the beta release of our Web Component UI kit " Yumekit ". Yumekit is a pure web component UI toolkit. Upon its release, it was comprised of roughly 36 fully styled and fully functional UI components that work with just about every web architecture straight out of the box. No configuration or setup necessary, all one needs to do is include the Yumekit script (using either a CDN or installed through NPM) and start building. All components come styled out of the box with no need to include any style sheets. Last week, we launched version 0.5. With this latest release, that job is being made easier with the inclusion of new components that add several layout options as well as new Data, Navigation, and Utility components, bringing the total number of components to 51. For us, this toolkit has provided us a framework-agnostic solution for our internal tools as well as any client projects. With over 60 themes spread over 9 well-known (and some brand new) open source Design Systems all built directly into the library, we have plenty of options available to us to keep our designs fresh without needing to spend hours dealing with CSS. It's light-weight, dependency free, and well documented. New in 0.5 Animate The y-animate component allows you to animate entrances and exits for nested components using a few simple configuration attributes. Code The y-code component allows you to display formatted and colorized code, as well as providing a few easy and convenient ways for your users to copy the provided code. Help The y-help component provides a tutorial experience for users of your application with minimal configuration. Simply provide the elements to be highlighted, the messages to be shown, and it handles the rest! Paginator y-paginator provides a configurable set of pagination buttons to help your users navigate through large data sets. Sidebar We had originally included a y-appbar component (which we still do) that had a "Sideba

Your AI is making your content invisible. Not because it writes badly. Because it writes safely . Ask ChatGPT to summarize an article and it will produce a polished, agreeable précis that offends nobody and surprises nobody. The output is technically accurate and completely forgettable. The problem is structural: most people prompt their AI to confirm what an article says, not to find where it fights with the crowd . The result is a feed full of content that agrees with other content, in increasingly fluent prose, at exponentially increasing volume. If you want to be read, you need to stop prompting for summaries and start prompting for conflict. Why Agreement Is the Fastest Path to Obscurity There is a reliable body of research behind why contrarian content performs. Jonah Berger and Katherine Milkman's widely cited study, "What Makes Online Content Viral?" ( Journal of Marketing Research , 2012) , found that content evoking high-arousal emotions — anger, awe, anxiety — is significantly more likely to be shared than content that merely informs or reassures. Agreement is a low-arousal state. Surprise and contradiction are not. This is not a trick to manufacture outrage. It is a structural observation: the human brain is wired to pay attention to pattern breaks. An article that says "AI is changing content creation" registers as noise. An article that says "AI is making content creation worse, and here's the data" registers as a signal worth attending to. The distinction matters because the mechanism is cognitive, not emotional. You are not trying to provoke readers. You are trying to interrupt the predictive pattern they've built from reading a hundred similar articles before yours. The Problem With Generic AI Summarization When you ask an LLM to "summarize this article" or "give me the key takeaways," the model optimizes for coverage and balance. It is trained on human feedback that rewards thoroughness and penalizes controversy. The output tends to be accurate, ne

Imagine this - you rely on data that you download every day from some system to your own. That requires a trip to the server asking for information, and then a trip back with the payload we requested. This seems pretty fast since the internet is fast. But we also know the programming concept DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). So, can we apply this principle to how we handle the scenario described above, creating something like DRD (Don't Repeat Data)? Well, yes. There is something to handle this, and it's called — Zero Copy . What is Zero Copy? As the name suggests, you are copying zero data, and yet, you are getting it on your system. How is this possible? If you think about it, you'll probably come to the conclusion that we are just opening a window. The data is just out there to be looked at by those who are allowed to. There's no need to bring the same data to different people's windows; we're just keeping the data in one place and making it available to anyone who needs it. What does this mean for ServiceNow? When it comes to Operations Management—dealing with data fetched from different databases (like monitoring data from Datadog or Dynatrace, ERP data from SAP or Workday, or cloud platforms like Snowflake, AWS, or Azure)—copying that data has traditionally been a hassle. We were reliant on sometimes complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines or massive data extracts. This complicated the whole process, consumed a lot of time, and required careful checking of data pre- and post-migration. So how exactly does Zero Copy help us here? Virtual Data Fabric Tables. Instead of copying data extracted from other tools, ServiceNow queries the exact data that is requested. It temporarily holds that data in memory for the user to interact with. During that time, the user can leverage that data for various use cases as required—and once they are done, it's gone. So, what exactly are the benefits of Zero Copy?! No need for data duplication on the destination. No need for d
