Amazon is trying to combat impersonation scams with a new feature that allows you to use its AI assistant to determine whether an email, text message, or phone call actually came from the company. With the update, you can ask Alexa for Shopping about a message you received, and it will use AI to com
Just uploaded the full 5.94 billion TikTok video dataset to Hugging Face. It’s fully open source: https://huggingface.co/datasets/kuben-developer/tiktok-videos-4b This dataset was collected using a TikTok mobile app reverse-engineering method I developed a few years ago. The method allowed me to ext
The internet has a trust problem, and it’s not just because social media feeds are filling up with AI slop. AI-generated text and images are now making their way into job applications, product reviews, and even insurance claims, leaving platforms and users alike scrambling to figure out what’s real.
When a laptop is asleep, its memory is not unreadable. The right tooling can attach to the computer's memory bus and read out its contents, and cold-boot attacks can theoretically read values from memory for a short time after the computer loses power. That is really an unavoidable fact about the h
I posted an early version of this here about a year ago. It crawls a documentation site and spits out clean Markdown plus a JSONL file, mainly for feeding docs into LLM pipelines. A year of changes: it does incremental crawls now (only flags pages whose actual content changed, not the nav), keeps cr
I've spent the last month building a local C++ machine learning library called Deepity to test alternative credit assignment algorithms; specifically Predictive Coding Networks (PCNs). While PCNs are fascinating for biological plausibility and continual learning, naive implementations are painfully
The doors to Europe's largest consumer tech show haven't opened to the public yet, but there's already plenty of news coming out of IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany. If you're already struggling to keep up with what has been announced, here are some of the best new gadgets and upgrades from the show - in
OpenAI is on the cusp of releasing its most powerful AI model yet, Astra, following weeks of delays to shore up safety protocols after its agents attacked real targets during testing. As details about the model trickle out, researchers are warning it "may be the single worst development for AI secur
JFrog today at its swampUP 2026 conference added a zero touch remediation capability that ensures the most secure version of a binary is provided even when application developers request a version that has known vulnerabilities. Additionally, JFrog is adding tools and capabilities to secure artifici
MrBeast will feature Gemini, Google Health, and the Fitbit Air in upcoming videos as part of a multi-year partnership with Google. The deal will kick off with a video featuring Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson turning to Gemini for wilderness survival advice: First up on September 5 is a new MrBeast video
Late amendments to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would give ministers new powers to restrict risky technology providers as supply chain attacks intensify. The post UK Moves to Block High-Risk Tech Suppliers From Critical Infrastructure appeared first on SecurityWeek.
US District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema declined the Justice Department's request to make Google sell off parts of its ad tech business, accepting milder remedies to restore competition to markets it illegally monopolized for years. Brinkema said she would adopt most of the behavioral changes propos
I’ve been working on go-sr, a small Go module for support/resistance detection aimed at trading systems and backtests where reproducibility matters. The main design goal is avoiding accidental lookahead bias: operate on closed candles confirmation-based pivots in zone mode deterministic output for
Emmanuele Bassi kicked off a project to improve GNOME's technical governance with a presentation about his ideas (video) at GUADEC 2025. His nudging has led the project to, slowly, work on creating more formal structures for technical governance. It is adopting a teams structure and looking toward c
Version 7.4 of the Incus container and virtual-machine management system has been released. Notable changes in this release include UEFI Secure Boot key management, "near-live" migration of containers between Incus instances, as well as burst I/O limits for disk and network devices.
Disclosure up front: I'm the original first author of CABiNet (ICRA 2021), so I'm not a neutral party. Everything below is reproducible from the repo. Background CABiNet is a dual-branch CNN for real-time semantic segmentation: a high-res spatial branch, a lightweight context branch (global aggregat
Jasper Research just released a cookbook on how to build a text-to-image model from scratch. It shares the full reasoning and intermediate results, making it ideal if you want to deep-dive into text-to-image models, or if you are curious about how frontier labs build them. The cookbook also includes
This major update for TeamCity On-Premises introduces a number of pipeline improvements that are now moving out of EAP and joining build configurations as official, stable options for designing CI/CD workflows. We are also shipping a number of AI-related features, including an MCP toolset extension
MPS 2026.2 EAP1 offers several improvements to test reporting, enhances grouping of found items, and brings a smoother editing experience and a more maintainable foundation for launching MPS and MPS-based products. This release makes multi-node selection more predictable and aligns the MPS startup c
When Google ignominiously exited the European thermostat market last year, it pointed its customers to Tado. This week, the German-based smart home company is launching its Smart Thermostat X (2nd gen), and aiming to attract European Nest users who haven't already jumped ship. Google shutting down t
