Hance will demo its kilobyte-size AI audio processing software at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

Imagine you’re a Formula One driver hurtling down a race track at 200 miles per hour when your engineer comes on the radio and says … something. You can’t make it out, but you’re also not going to spend a lap playing out that old Verizon commercial (“Can you hear me now?”) with the race — and your life — on the line. This is just one problem Norwegian startup Hance is solving with an impressively small and fast bit of audio processing software that’s already attracted customers like Intel and R

Delivering a digital sixth sense with next-generation networks

Expanding applications of networks as sensors Wireless networks acting as sensors and providing a more agile alternative to radar is gaining traction. With the rollout of 5G in 2019 and the availability of large-scale antenna rays, we can create radio beams not only to extend coverage towards individual handsets, but also to comprehensively sweep an environment and provide a map of objects within it such as cars, robots, and even people. And wireless technologies are already being effectively e

Leading computer science professor says 'everybody' is struggling to get jobs

This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Computer science went from a future-proof career to an industry in upheaval in a shockingly small amount of time. "For people like your son, by the way, who four years ago were promised, go study computer science, it's going to be a great career. It is future-proof — that changed in four years," UC Berkeley professor Hany Farid said during a recent episode of Nova's "Particles of Thoug

The elusive roots of rosin potatoes (2022)

• • • When World War I broke out in 1914, so did anti-German hysteria. Ohio, once a bilingual state, declared English its official language and banned German language classes in schools before eighth grade. German street names changed. The press renamed sauerkraut “liberty cabbage” and hamburger “liberty steak.” The Espionage Act of 1917 explicitly outlawed interfering with military operations and recruitment and essentially outlawed anything un-American, aka German. “That was the death blow,”

Experts Alarmed That AI Is Now Producing Functional Viruses

AI can now invent working biological viruses. In real world experiments, a team of Stanford researchers demonstrated that a virus with AI-written DNA could target and kill specific bacteria, they announced in a study last week. It opened up a world of possibilities where artificial viruses could be used to cure diseases and fight infections. But experts say it also opened a Pandora’s box. Bad actors could just as easily use AI to crank out novel bioweapons, keeping doctors and governments on t

SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3

Note SSH3 is probably going to change its name. It is still the SSH Connection Protocol (RFC4254) running on top of HTTP/3 Extended connect, but the required changes are heavy and too distant from the philosophy of popular SSH implementations to be considered for integration. The specification draft has already been renamed ("Remote Terminals over HTTP/3"), but we need some time to come up with a nice permanent name. SSH3: faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3 SSH3 is a complete revisit of

Sinclair gets nothing it asked for, puts Jimmy Kimmel back on anyway

Sinclair Backs Down, Will Resume Airing ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Local Stations

In a classic Friday news dump move, Sinclair announced that it will end its unofficial boycott of Jimmy Kimmel and will once again broadcast the comedian’s late-night show, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ to its ABC affiliate broadcast stations, ending its completely principled and not at all politically motivated stance to pre-empt the show after all of two days. “Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience,” the

Fast UDP I/O for Firefox in Rust

Around 20% of Firefox’s HTTP traffic today uses HTTP/3, which runs over QUIC, which in turn runs over UDP. This translates to substantial UDP I/O activity. Firefox uses NSPR for most of its network I/O. When it comes to UDP I/O, NSPR only offers a limited set of dated APIs, most relevant here PR_SendTo and PR_RecvFrom , wrappers around POSIX’s sendto and recvfrom . The N in NSPR stands for Netscape, giving you a hint of its age. Operating systems have evolved since. Many offer multi-message AP

Big Businesses Have a Major Problem With AI

Either AI is a magical enterprise cure-all whose effects are literally indescribable — or it’s really not all that useful. Which of the two will ultimately turn out to be correct is a question currently hanging over the global economy like Damocles’ Sword. And now heightening that tension is a damning new analysis by the Financial Times, which found that barely any of the big businesses that have embraced using the tech can say how it’s actually helping them.

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle Is Unbreakable. These Physicists Found a Loophole

Old physics wisdom can get comically simple. Take, for instance, the idea that bigger is generally better for complex science observatories. But there’s another one that researchers unknowingly gloss over, despite its impressive success rate: When a rule can’t be broken, don’t fight it. Just go around. In a Science Advances paper published today, physicists did just that. The researchers found a way to sidestep Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle—a monumental rule dictating the elusiveness of qu
