This is great and it makes me wonder why the algorithm isn’t standard for browsers as a built-in feature (also for word processors).
Sure, it takes a bit longer, but LaTeX pretty much instantly produces a PDF nowadays even for long documents. 30 years ago, I scheduled a coffee break for that.
I have seen a local theater advertising 70mm dual projection (but not mentioning IMAX) and another one IMAX. Will there be a difference?
Those are more sane numbers (unless you go by helicopter across the US).
Also found this intriguing in your source:
London’s Air Ambulance crew made history in 1993 by performing the world’s first successful pre-hospital open-heart surgery at the roadside.
Here is a Swiss one that heats 6,000 apartments.
The data center delivers up to 1.7 MW of reusable heat – enough enough to warm 6,000 energy-efficient homes in winter or provide 20,000 five-minute showers every day in summer.

Also fairly decent at finding a specific slide from a year ago.
Looks deceptively simple. Is there a good source to learn more about how it works?
This looks like a custom Airtag which is great — but I cannot find where it exfiltrates data from an air-gapped system.
What did I overlook?
From the second linked article, this could be a motive:
People who were using Census data to actually reconstruct records could no longer do so. Demographers admitted that this was common practice. It's also an open secret that this was done by political operatives as part of gerrymandering efforts.
2 I recognize, 1 not so much. Patents are usually filed as early as possible, because you risk losing priority to someone else. And you cannot file a claim on inventions that are in the public domain.
But then it takes a decade or so to develop towards approval. You work together with outside researchers who lend their credibility and get attractive publication possibilities in return. Those publications also help to raise awareness with doctors and investors. Since some company researchers are also authors, this does indeed work as an incentive and is helpful for recruitment and ultimately more successful products.
To the core of the article: why would anyone want to file a patent with AI as a (co-)inventor? It's a tool, and it cannot have any ownership rights. And even if it did, it would diminish your share of royalties.
Well they already know me. I make about one small payment per quarter in cash, everything else via phone, card or bank transfer.
So I don’t see the day-to-day difference with digital euro, except that the backend seems to have fewer intermediaries (and maybe lower cost for the merchant?). Also it would work in more than one country which is good.
Here is a more technical description: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12525-025-00822-7
I am still not quite sure how this would affect my day-to-day (private) payment experience transaction cost etc.
But is has strategic value for Europe:
[...] European dependencies in critical technologies. A digital euro could mitigate these developments in the medium term if the infrastructure is mainly operated by European companies and if European payment service providers manage to achieve a leading position in the evolving ecosystem for digital euro services.

Some pages do not work in Firefox, so I keep a copy of Chrome around.
It’s a bit like with Internet Explorer which back in its day was also needed for some stubborn sites.
They certainly make the EU regulators sound unfriendly (and counterproductive on privacy). Can someone with DMA legal knowledge translate and separate the spin?
Siri AI is private by design and deeply integrated across Apple’s platforms using on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud. However, under EU regulators’ extreme interpretation of the DMA, Apple would have to give any virtual assistant direct access to users’ private data — and the ability to directly control other installed applications — as soon as Siri AI is made available in the EU, without the essential protections necessary to keep users and their data safe.
According to EU regulators, the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app. Security researchers have already shown that AI systems can be hijacked to steal personal data — like passwords and photos — and to permanently alter files and account settings without a user’s consent. As AI systems gain more capabilities, these risks are quickly increasing in frequency and scope.
Does that keep him from giving to charity while he is alive?
Also a bit rich to lobby for this while being a tax exile.
It feels like the update cadence has indeed sped up. But not necessarily quality.
Looking at MS Office I notice a lot of small changes recently that are mostly annoying. Things like Word comments losing the focus after you @-tagged a colleague, needing to click the Outlook search field twice before you can enter text, Outlook mobile date picker losing its ability to show your and attendee's availability.
So it looks like lots of throughput, but unfortunately breaking features that work. Or wasting time on things that don’t matter such as the status bar of OneDrive search circling around the input field.
Also worth noting that other index providers are less principled.
Nasdaq changed its rules recently so SpaceX can join the Nasdaq 100 Index, a cohort of the largest non-financial companies listed on its exchange, in just 15 trading days, down from a three-month minimum. FTSE Russell adopted a similar approach, shortening the waiting time to five trading days

For the Push 3 standalone they have ported Live to Linux, but it’s confined to their own hardware.
The challenges were many: we had to create an operating system, we needed to deal with porting Live to Linux, we needed to deal with all the gory details of WiFi and authorization.
How does that compare to a normal taxi service? Or Uber?
Very nice and a beautiful result.
Since I usually cannot spend 50 hours on a chart, I wonder why it is so hard to make decent graphs with the usual Office packages. They make it easy to create something and for others to contribute, but have really bad defaults. Even when you make the effort to adjust, you can still tell the program. And templating does not really work either.
What do you use?
Impressive that this works, but pretty bleak to post the results online
A spectrogram is a still image that is a visual representation of the audio, showing the ups and downs of the frequencies. Using that still image, members of the public were able to recreate the voices of the pilots in the moments before the plane crashed and post the results online.
I love how “update on“ in a headline has become a synonym for “bad news about“.
Didn’t DeepSeek originate from a HedgeFund model?

Good to see more of this.
Infomaniak also offers Kimi 2.6, Gemma, Qwen and Mistral. I’ve been using that in VSCode.
