CEO Says He's Showing His Engineers How to Get Things Done by Sending Them Stuff He Vibe Coded

Buy-now-pay-later platform Klarna went public on the US stock market last week, sending its stock surging to well above its expected range. The company's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, has thrown the entire company's weight behind artificial intelligence, infamously boasting that the tech was doing the work of "700 full-time agents" last year — only to regret his decision months later, admitting that humans play an important role after all. But Siemiatkowski's obsession with AI hasn't disappear

Google could make Android 17 work better with life-saving medical devices

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Hundreds of millions of people live with diabetes or other chronic conditions that require continuous monitoring. Fortunately, modern medical devices make it significantly easier for people to track their glucose levels, blood pressure, and other key vitals. Some even connect directly with smartphones, sending crucial data and alerts via Bluetooth to the mobile devices we carry every day. Despite the importance of these medical devices in many people’s lives,

Canada dismantles TradeOgre exchange, seizes $40 million in crypto

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has shut down the TradeOgre cryptocurrency exchange and seized more than $40 million believed to originate from criminal activities. This is the first time a crypto exchange has been shut down by Canadian law enforcement, and it also marks the largest asset seizure in the country's history. TradeOgre was a small exchange platform that focused on user privacy and dealt in niche altcoins, as well as the harder-to-trace Monero cryptocurrency. It was known for al

Philips announces digital pathology scanner with native DICOM JPEG XL output

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for medical images and related patient information. Because digital pathology is a relatively new imaging modality compared to radiology and others, there was no established DICOM standard in place. As a result, vendors created their own proprietary formats. Today, Philips announced that it is expanding its SG300 and SG60 scanner offering with the Pathology Scanner SGi with configurable DICOM JPEG and DICOM JPE

Solving a wooden puzzle using Haskell

April 28, 2025 This post is the first of a two-part series that describes my computer-assisted solution to a physical puzzle I got. In this first part, I describe the problem and model it in Haskell. This post is a little verbose, so feel free to skip directly to part II, where we'll see how to tell our computer to actually solve the puzzle. I got gifted a puzzle recently, allegedly a "very hard one". After receiving it, I spent a couple minutes trying to solve it, but it quickly became clear

Designing NotebookLM

We built and launched a viral AI product in 2 months (at Google !). Here's how: Our little NotebookLM team has had a crazy few months and is proving that small, nimble teams not only exist within Google, but can move fast and have significant impact. Our newest feature “Audio Overviews” has taken over the internet the past few days. The team has been sprinting - we went from idea to prototype in weeks, then launched publicly in under 2 months. It’s not perfect (yet!), but that’s the p

$2 WeAct Display FS adds a 0.96-inch USB information display to your computer

WeAct Display FS is an inexpensive 0.96-inch USB display dongle designed to add an information display or a tiny secondary display to your computer or SBC. We’ve seen this type of information display with products such as the Turing Smart Screen, a larger 3.5-inch color display, or small OLEDs integrated into cases such as the Pironman 5 Max to disable text. The WeAct Display FS V1 may be tiny, but it’s also a full-color 160×80 resolution display that can be customized with software provided by

Hands-on with the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta Platforms Inc., wears a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses during the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, US, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025. When it comes to the new $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, it's the device's accompanying fuzzy, gray wristband that truly dazzles. I was able to try out Meta's next-generation smart glasses that the social media company announced Wednesday at its annual Connect event. These are the first gla

Leader of Albania Pelted With Trash for Appointing AI-Powered Minister to Cabinet

The world's first AI government official is going about as well as anyone could expect. Yesterday, the virtual assistant "Diella" made its "inaugural address" to the Albanian parliament. Maybe unsurprisingly, the software — which had been appointed Minister for Public Procurements last week by prime minister Edi Rama — was met with fury by certain officials. Chaotic video shared by Albanian media group Report TV shows lawmakers from the opposition party throwing bottles and desk clutter at the

One UI 8.5 all but confirms Galaxy S26 Ultra’s new Private Display feature (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Code within leaked One UI 8.5 build suggests Samsung is developing a new “Private Display” or “Privacy Display” feature. This feature will limit screen visibility from side angles, protecting privacy in crowded public places. It’s likely to debut on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is rumored to have the necessary screen hardware. Stable One UI 8 recently started rolling out to Samsung’s phone lineup, but we’re already on to the next release. The first One UI

PyPI Blog: Token Exfiltration Campaign via GitHub Actions Workflows

Token Exfiltration Campaign via GitHub Actions Workflows Summary I recently responded to an attack campaign where malicious actors injected code into GitHub Actions workflows attempting to steal PyPI publishing tokens. PyPI was not compromised, and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers. Attackers targeted a wide variety of repositories, many of which had PyPI tokens stored as GitHub secrets, modifying their workflows to send those tokens to external servers. While the attackers suc

Now, Netflix Is Rumored to Want Warner Bros.

The media industry is in a state of tumult, and major companies are being bought and reorganized at a rapid pace. Last week, it was reported that David Ellison, son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, wanted to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. This was notable since Ellison, who owns Skydance Media, just recently completed an $8 billion acquisition of another major Hollywood studio, Paramount. Now, there is reportedly another major party interested in buying WB: Netflix. Dylan Byers, of Puck News,

When Non-Avian Dinosaurs Went Extinct, the Earth Changed—Literally. Scientists Think They Finally Know Why

Rocks formed immediately before and after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct are strikingly different, and now, tens of millions of years later, scientists think they’ve identified the culprit—and it wasn’t the Chicxulub asteroid impact. In a study published Monday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers argue that dinosaurs physically influenced their surroundings so dramatically that their disappearance led to stark changes to the Earth’s landscape, and, in turn, the geol

Looking to Buy an Electric Vehicle? You Should Do It Before October

For more than a decade now, climate-friendly policy has protected and boosted the American electric vehicle industry. In the past two years, that has been in the form of the electric vehicle tax credit that was a part of former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. Now, all of that is due to expire on September 30. Trump began his attack on the EV tax credit as his first order of business as President. The final blow came when the “big beautiful bill” passed and was signed into law th

Jimmy Kimmel and Disney Begin Talks to Revive His Show

A lot’s happened in the two days since Disney indefinitely paused Jimmy Kimmel Live, but the two parties may be on the path to reconciliation. According to a Friday report from Variety, Kimmel’s legal and business representatives are “deep in discussions” with ABC to bring the show back, or at the very least, find a compromise to allow the show’s return. Kimmel himself has been silent since his show was shelved after Nexstar, one of the biggest TV station owners in the U.S., vowed to pre-empt a

You’ll enjoy the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon even without assist

Two things about the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon are hard to fathom: One is how light and lithe it feels as an e-bike, even with the battery off; the other is how hard it is to recite its full name when other riders ask you about the bike at stop lights and pit stops. I’ve tested about a half-dozen e-bikes for Ars Technica. Each test period has included a ride with my regular group for about 30 miles. Nobody else in my group rides electric, so I try riding with no assist, at least pa

Distillation Can Make AI Models Smaller and Cheaper

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it focused on the fact that a relatively small and unknown company said it had built a chatbot that rivaled the performance of those from the world’s most famous AI companies, but using a fraction of the computer power and cost. As a result, the stocks of many Western tech companies plummeted; Nvidia, which

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit

ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 17 after the late-night host commented on the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His monologue suggested Trump supporters were trying to reframe the shooter’s political ties, which drew backlash from the FCC and major ABC affiliates. ABC replaced the program with reruns, sparking accusations of censorship and igniting a boycott campaign against Disney, its parent company. Overwhelming public reaction The suspension triggered strong resp
