France's national cybersecurity agency ANSSI will stop certifying security products without quantum-resistant encryption by 2027. Businesses should purchase only quantum-safe products by 2030 to maintain access to the French government technology market.
Apple implemented end-to-end encryption for iCloud files after initially planning to scan for CSAM using NeuralHash. The court dismissed the lawsuit, ruling Apple is entitled to immunity under Section 230 due to its role as a neutral platform.
Package managers' cooldowns may not prevent ecosystem attacks as they delay early adoption and don't ensure vetting. Instead, users should actively scan packages with static analysis tools and sandboxes before installation.
A new procurement record says ICE wants access to personal data, including names, Social Security numbers, and ethnicity, to investigate in part what the agency calls “voters fraud.” It also plans to use the data to investigate immigration fraud.
ICE has stopped releasing its semimonthly detention report since April, sparking lawsuits and calls for transparency. The Trump administration's deportation data is also disputed, with experts saying the lack of information makes it hard to know the full scope and consequences of the mass deportation program.
Python's 3.15 JIT compiler uses a new form of interpreter profiling that records execution through the interpreter for JIT compilation with low overhead. This approach allows for efficient profiling of the interpreter, with a maximum slowdown of 4.5x for a toy benchmark, compared to 900x-1000x for other tracing systems like PyPy.
The following information can help our support team to resolve this issue.
The author argues that the reaction to Chinese open weight models is overblown, as they are not necessarily cheaper to serve on a marginal cost basis, but rather are benefiting from a lack of compute and a price umbrella. The author suggests that the US should pass a law to make distillation of models fair use and to loosen restrictions on using frontier labs' models for cybersecurity, to ...

I’ve been thinking recently about what makes time series forecasting problems so difficult compared to other sequence learning tasks or IID Machine Learning problems. First some motivating baselines illustrating the difficulty of the forecasting problem. I ran a series of models These are interactive plots, click legend to hide a line, double click to isolate. Note that the historical ...

Apple fixed a vulnerability in its Hide My Email feature after 404 Media exposed it, allowing hackers to find users' real email addresses. The issue was exploitable for over a year and a class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple over the vulnerability.
Jelly UI is a dependency-free Web Components library for soft, tactile product interfaces. Real form controls meet soft-body physics, with dark mode, right-to-left support and WCAG AA color tokens built in.
Men are underrepresented in nursing, making up only 1 in 8 nurses, but the profession is becoming more attractive due to job stability and high pay. Efforts to recruit and retain male nurses are underway, with some schools and hospitals actively promoting the field to men.
You want to find and summarize all PDF files containing quarterly reports in the local workspace ~/Documents/KimiWorkspace and generate a clear summary document. You also want to know about Scheduled Tasks in Kimi Work, specifically if they run when the computer is asleep.
Mathematicians are using AI tools to find counterexamples to long-standing conjectures, including the Erdős Unit Distance conjecture, Grothendieck's question, and the Jacobian Conjecture. These AI-generated counterexamples are being formalized in Lean, a programming language for mathematics, and are helping humans gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematics.
A person is trying to pack ternary weights of BitNet b1.58 into a close to ideal log(3) / log(2) bits per ternary digit. They found a method to pack 5 trits into 8 bits with 99.06% efficiency using multiplication and division operations for fast parallel unpacking.
Arduino's Modulino ecosystem provides modular sensor and actuator boards that simplify prototyping and integration of complex I2C sensor networks with motor drive systems. The three new boards, Modulino Hub, Extender, and Motors, address common limitations of I2C networks, including address conflicts, distance, and motor control, to streamline prototyping and development.
The author and their friend successfully ported the classic video game DOOM to a custom CPU they built from scratch, overcoming numerous challenges including memory and speed limitations. After several optimizations, including compiler optimization and pipeline improvements, they were able to achieve a playable 15-20 FPS and are now working on further improvements to reach 30 FPS.
The author initially thought Claude was not a compiler but a better tool that can work vertically across the stack, making decisions at various levels. The author used Claude to design and implement a distributed DNS server, guiding the process with written guidance and testing strategies.
Nativ offers a local AI app for Mac with open models from Google, Cohere, and Liquid AI, no accounts or subscriptions required. It's 100% open source, built on MLX-VLM, and connects to existing coding agents.

At long last, Relic Entertainment has announced that Age of Empires 4 is coming. Strategy gamers rejoice! I am excited – I played the first one back in ’98 (I may be dating myself here). But the news brought me back to a common problem with many games of this type and with Age of Empires specifically: they don’t actually have any empires in them! And I am sure that some of you are a bit ...
