    Everything that could go wrong with Trump’s AI safety tests, according to experts

    I know it's appealing to appear objective by citing sources from "both sides," but at least put in a blurb about AFPI's ideology lest less informed readers take them for anything other than an ultra-nativist, rightwing mouthpiece.

    Expired certificate completely breaks macOS Logitech apps, user customizations

    I don't know whether this particular certificate was issued by a private CA or a public one, but regardless, they come with an expiration date for the same reason that best practice used to call for periodically changing one's password. This guidance has since been updated, but it feels like ppl...

    Why iRobot’s founder won’t go within 10 feet of today’s walking robots

    You are right that many processes done by humans can be automated, without involving a humanoid operator, but rather than automating each of these processes, creating a humanoid operator might be a more efficient solution, if the technology is mature enough. The simple act of preparing breakfast...

    Trump caving on Nvidia H20 export curbs may disrupt his bigger trade war

    Sure AI could enable warfighters (mil-ind complex seem to love this term), but it could also enable the enshittification of society. Don’t want China to miss out on that, right? I mean they’ve already got influencer “cloning” themselves with AI so they can stream 24/7.

    DeepSeek goes beyond “open weights” AI with plans for source code release

    I'm sure plenty of financial experts have been hunting for a link between High Flyer and shorting the stock of incumbent AI players, but I've yet to see any credible claim.

    EV battery manufacturing capacity will rise when 10 plants come online this year

    With the right protectionist policies perhaps the US can develop a home grown boutique EV supply chain for domestic consumption. Forget about export market though unless you can compete with battery cost as low as $53/kwh.

    Chinese Volvo customers report fake B&W speakers in their cars

    It's a joke and all but there are obviously lots of things made in China that are good quality or not counterfeits, so you'd have to look into what the motive is here.

    DeepSeek iOS app sends data unencrypted to ByteDance-controlled servers

    Even putting aside whether they mostly innovated or simply stood on the shoulders of giants, the $6 million cost being parroted everywhere is clearly labeled as training cost in GPU-hours, based on $2 per hour per H800. Also, it's only for V3, not R1. Being able to host such a powerful model...
