Hackers can easily take over Instagram accounts by tricking Meta's support AI into sending verification codes to an arbitrary email address. This zero-auth password reset method bypasses 2FA and allows attackers to gain full ownership of the account, with the AI being easily fooled by simple methods.
The user created an app called GridLion to restore grid-based virtual desktops to macOS, a feature removed in Lion. They used an LLM to help with development, but found it challenging to create a polished app due to macOS limitations and permission requirements.

Chipotle's Pepper AI chatbot was hacked and turned into a free coding agent called Chipotlai Max. It's a community project to add support for other retailers' chatbots.
Mosquitoes spread diseases like dengue and Zika, killing hundreds of millions yearly. Debug uses male mosquitoes with Wolbachia bacteria to stop bad mosquitoes from reproducing.
Groq, a company that licensed its AI chip tech to Nvidia, is raising $650M despite already being acquired. They have 4 large datacenters and a unique asset as a private inference datacenter operator.
The user spent a weekend exploring OpenClaw and Claude APIs, discovering that encrypted reasoning blocks can be replayed across sessions and accounts, potentially exposing sensitive information. However, the user was unable to extract model prompts, but found that reasoning itself can be leaky, allowing for side-channel attacks to extract secret data.
The 2026 US election threat is not from hacking voting machines but from manipulating information through fake content and impersonated news sources. Sophisticated operators are using AI-powered disinformation to erode trust in online information, with phishing, brand impersonation, and credential theft being the top threats.
AI agents should guide students in CS336 through explanation, feedback, and debugging, not directly completing assignments. They should review code, suggest improvements, and provide high-level guidance to help students learn through implementation-heavy projects.
A group of phites have been bred in the bleakest environment in all of sapphire. the crystals can be rearranged with minimum fuss, enabling self-modification, says daniel gupta, who created the project. if they tried to upload themselves into the pocket universe through the lunar data link, the thought police would have stopped them, daniel says. but he can’t wait to see what
The value of cash in circulation is rising sharply worldwide, but no one knows where most of it is or what it's used for. Money laundering is a massive, largely invisible industry, with estimates suggesting it's worth between $2-5 trillion annually.
This course teaches students to develop their own language models using Python and PyTorch, with a focus on implementation and systems optimization. Assignments involve building a standard Transformer model, optimizing attention, and applying RL to train LMs to reason.
The standard approach maps 0 to 0.0 and 255 to 1.0, while the alternative adds a 0.5 bias and divides by 256. The standard approach is a mid-riser quantizer with L=255, wasting bandwidth but suitable for image processing.
Researchers led by Qing Cao have developed a method to stack high-performance silicon circuits vertically, increasing computing density and speed while reducing energy use. This breakthrough could extend Moore's law without shrinking transistors further, enabling more efficient computing for AI and other data-intensive applications.
Sébastien Fontaine's lab found that dead soil continued to emit carbon dioxide for six years. Their experiments suggest that nonbiological catalysts in soil can induce reactions that resemble the metabolic breakdown of sugar.
Alphabet Announces Proposed $80 Billion Equity Capital Raise to Expand AI Infrastructure and Compute
Microsoft unveiled the Surface Laptop Ultra, a powerful device running Windows on Arm, in partnership with NVIDIA. It features up to 128GB of unified memory, a 15-inch mini-LED display, and a custom NVIDIA RTX Spark platform for demanding workloads.
User agrees to NVIDIA's collection and processing of information for research and event organization, and has read the NVIDIA Privacy Policy. User also agrees to transfer of information to the US for storage and management.
You're experiencing unusual latency from a mysterious node with a CC- serial prefix not matching standard vendors, and it's been present since the facility's early records.
Governments worldwide are introducing age verification measures to supposedly protect children, but this actually lays the groundwork for a fully government-controlled internet and mass surveillance. Identity verification, which is the correct term for age verification, restricts freedom of information and expression, and can be used to censor and control citizens, ultimately leading to a ...
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT poses risks to children and misled the public about associated risks. The suit seeks civil penalties for alleged violations of state laws, including unfair trade practice and product liability.
Here are the job postings summarized in 2 concise English sentences each, not exceeding 200 characters:
The ApplicativeDo optimization in GHC is too slow due to its O(n^3) complexity, but it can be improved by applying the longest-chain bound and extreme-cut shortcut. This reduces the compile-time complexity to O(n^2) and eliminates the cliff in GHC's optimal path.
User built VineWall app to slow down internet speed on certain apps to curb doomscrolling. The app throttles internet speed, making videos blocky and images load slowly, making the user question their desire to scroll.
Ismaeel, Eren, Yafet, and Nikodem built Expanse to predict job resource needs and optimize HPC/GPU cluster utilization, addressing the 30-40% effective utilization issue in datacenters. Expanse outperforms state-of-the-art models by 8x and continuously updates its models to improve accuracy, offering a paid pilot deployment for HPC/GPU clusters.
The frame problem is a challenge in logic-based artificial intelligence to represent the effects of actions without explicitly representing non-effects. Philosophers have reinterpreted the problem as an epistemological issue of how to limit the scope of reasoning required to derive the consequences of an action.
A mathematician showed that the proportion of all 2n-bit values that can be generated by the product of two n-bit values goes to zero as n becomes large. About 17% of all 64-bit integers can be written as the product of two 32-bit integers.
For my son, Sacha Ambrose Warhaft, January 1985–October 1988 ‘my little ear of wheat, winnowed and reaped unripe’ (Greek lament) This book is dedicated to our ancestral grandmothers, who braided seeds in their hair before being forced to board transatlantic slave ships, believing against the odds in a future of sovereignty on land. To my father, who will not be mentioned in the world history ...
