Cancelling a Subscription? Apple Lets Devs Make You an Offer You (Maybe) Can't Refuse

Got some subscriptions on an Apple device you're looking to cancel? You might be in for an extra step in the near future -- or a deal you decide you can't pass up. I don't know about you, but often when I'm trying cancel a subscription (like Starz, when Outlander isn't airing), I get an offer to stick around for a temporarily discounted price. It can be annoying sometimes, but I'd be lying if I said I've never taken them up on the deal. However you feel about that common customer retention pra

Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-12 14:20:04

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions. But these texts are oft

FDA employees say the agency's Elsa generative AI hallucinates entire studies

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-12 14:35:47

Current and former members of the FDA told CNN about issues with the Elsa generative AI tool unveiled by the federal agency last month. Three employees said that in practice, Elsa has hallucinated nonexistent studies or misrepresented real research. "Anything that you don't have time to double-check is unreliable," one source told the publication. "It hallucinates confidently."

Hyperpb: Faster dynamic Protobuf parsing that's faster than generated code

Palantir Goons Reportedly Want to Remake Hollywood Into a Libertarian Dream Factory

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-12 12:05:46

Rightwing forces in the U.S. have long coveted a key fixture of American liberalism’s soft power: Hollywood. The “dream factory” that deeply influences the ways Americans see themselves and the world around them has often been accused of (perhaps rightfully so) having a liberal bent. Now, it appears that a group with ties to America’s military-industrial complex has a plan to take over Tinseltown and mold it in their own image.

If you've traveled to remote areas where cellular coverage doesn't reach, you know that anxious feeling when your communications slam to a halt. T-Mobile's new $10 a month Starlink-based satellite texting service, T-Satellite, which went live today, takes a different approach from other satellite services to provide mobile access even within the half a million square miles of wireless dead zones in the US.
