Google DeepMind is funding research into the potential dangers of situations where millions of different AI agents interact with each other online. According to Rohin Shah, who directs the company’s AGI safety and alignment research, the mass-market arrival of agents that can carry out tasks without human oversight and follow instructions given to them by other…

AI aside, Golden Gate includes a bunch of subtle-but-helpful improvements.

If you're someone who needs to (or likes to) take their work on the go, a portable monitor will make a huge difference. These are my favorite that I tested.

It’s the first estimate of how many Americans are sneaking onto Polymarket’s banned crypto-based platform.

New research suggests that dozens of monetized YouTube channels are run by people and organizations that the US government has sanctioned for their ties to Tehran.

After getting its hands on a Trump phone and tearing it apart, iFixit has confirmed what I first reported back in February: the T1 Phone is an almost exact duplicate of the HTC U24 Pro. iFixit partnered with NBC to get hold of the network's media sample of the Trump phone, along with a U24 […]

This impressively light carbon commuter makes switching to an ebike easier than ever.

The musician created his own line of loopers that record and layer riffs in a loop. The pricey Looper X does what it claims, but it isn’t without quirks.

It might not feel all that different from older World Cups—for better or worse.

The games start June 11 and end with a grand finale in New Jersey on July 19. There are 104 of them. Here’s how to watch ’em all.

Venues hosting the 2026 World Cup must meet high standards to obtain environmental certifications, but FIFA also requires that they use natural grass, which is water-intensive to maintain.

In 2018, after nearly two decades working in Big Pharma, chemist Tim Cernak was ready to put his skills to a new use. For Merck, he’d developed precision therapies for cancer, HIV, and diabetes that could target disease while minimizing harm to healthy cells. But as a lifelong nature lover, he was increasingly concerned about…

Imagine tuning in to the opening kickoff of a World Cup match and seeing a player intentionally send the ball all the way down the pitch and right out of bounds on the opponent’s end. Casual fans might scratch their heads. Where’s the logic in surrendering possession seconds into a game? If you were Jesse…

It’s a tale of two nuclear industries. In China, large reactors are coming together at a stunning pace. The country has nearly doubled its nuclear fleet since 2016, reaching nearly 60 gigawatts of total power capacity. The new facilities are nearly all gigawatt-scale pressurized-water reactors. Meanwhile, the US has built just two reactors in that…

Travel bans and other visa issues are creating problems for World Cup participants even before the whistle blows.

Soccer officials already rely on cameras to see who’s offside and who sent the ball out of bounds. But during this World Cup, refs will use digital twins of each player to view plays from every angle.

For years, whenever I needed to merge two PDFs or compress a file to upload to a government portal, I would Google "compress PDF", click the first result, and inevitably hit a paywall. "You have reached your 2 free files per day limit." Worse, I was uploading sensitive documents—tax returns, medical records, and NDAs—to random servers in God-knows-where just to strip out some heavy images. I decided to build an alternative. I wanted it to be 100% free, have absolutely no daily limits, and most importantly: zero server uploads . Here is how we built PDF Pro using Next.js and WebAssembly to process PDFs entirely natively inside the user's browser. The Architecture: Why WebAssembly? Traditional PDF tools (like Smallpdf or iLovePDF) use a monolithic server architecture. You upload your file to their AWS bucket, their backend runs a Python or C++ script (usually using Ghostscript or a proprietary library) to manipulate the PDF, and then you download the processed file. This architecture is expensive (high bandwidth and compute costs) and creates a massive privacy liability. By compiling a C++ PDF manipulation library down to WebAssembly (WASM) , we inverted the architecture. 1. The Build Process We took pdf-lib and custom C++ compression algorithms and compiled them to a lightweight .wasm binary. When a user visits PDF Pro Compress , their browser downloads the ~2MB WASM file once and caches it. 2. Client-Side Processing When you drag and drop a 50MB PDF into the UI, it never hits our server. Instead, the browser's JavaScript engine passes a Pointer to the file data directly into the WebAssembly memory buffer. The WASM module executes native C++ speeds directly on your local CPU to compress or merge the document. Performance Benchmarks Because there is zero upload and zero download time, the performance metrics are staggering: 10MB PDF Compression (Cloud): ~15 seconds (Upload) + 4 seconds (Process) + 5 seconds (Download) = 24 seconds . 10MB PDF Compression (PDF Pro WASM)
