Plaion has delayed its hardware-accurate remake of SNK's NeoGeo AES console by roughly 10 months, now targeting a September 16, 2027 launch. The company cites an AI-fueled memory chip shortage alongside stronger-than-anticipated consumer demand as the reasons for the pushback. The AES+ is built to replicate the original system at the hardware level using dedicated ASIC chips rather than emulation, with MiSTER developer Jotego on the team.
Adam Mosseri told an Australian press briefing that Instagram users who switch to a chronological feed instead of the algorithmic one see engagement drop by roughly 50%, with satisfaction scores dropping sharply too. He made the comments as Australia weighs a Digital Duty of Care bill that would require platforms to prompt users to disable ranking algorithms.
Oracle reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $19.35 billion, topping analyst expectations, with net income climbing 60% to $4.7 billion. The gains were driven by a 62% jump in cloud revenue, including a 121% surge in cloud infrastructure sales, prompting shares to rise more than 6% in premarket trading.
A physics team led by Ron Folman at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, working with researchers from Germany, the UK and the US including Roger Penrose, has built an interferometer that splits a single atom into two simultaneous paths—one falling freely and one held still—that reconverge at the same point. This setup lets them measure how free fall changes the atom's quantum phase, something theorized nearly a century ago but never directly tested due to the need for ultracold atoms and a way to compare phase differences.
In an essay, Holtzbrinck Group's Chief Scientific Officer Daniel Hook recounts riding in a driverless Waymo in San Francisco with Macmillan Learning CEO Susan Winslow, and how both admitted they preferred the silent, frictionless ride to the small talk of a human driver. He uses the anecdote to argue that similarly 'frictionless' AI tools may be quietly eroding the incidental human contact that drives collaboration in research.
RTK, a popular tool with over 79,000 GitHub stars that compresses terminal output before AI coding agents read it, has been marketed as a way to cut AI coding costs, with one viral post claiming up to 60% token savings. But independent benchmark testing using Terminal-Bench 2.1 across 1,740 task attempts found mixed results: costs dropped 5% for one model setup but rose 5% for another, contradicting the widely shared savings figures.
YouTuber Nicholas Light warned his 1.3 million subscribers that his channel faced deletion after Remove Your Media, a company run by Eric Green, filed over a dozen DMCA takedown requests against more than 60 of his videos. YouTube later reversed the copyright strikes and confirmed his channel would not be removed, prompting Light to post a follow-up video thanking supporters who spoke out.
As autonomous vehicles spread, the article argues they will standardize driving behavior that has long varied dramatically by region—from aggressive New York drivers to Cairo's horn-based communication system to Jakarta's informal traffic-conductor tipping rituals. These local driving cultures, shaped by decades of human adaptation to specific urban conditions, could disappear as algorithmic driving replaces human judgment.
President Trump said he has no concerns about AI causing human extinction, prioritizing U.S. competitiveness against China instead. His remarks followed public warnings from over a dozen researchers at OpenAI and Anthropic urging a slower pace of AI development due to safety risks.
Sharge has unveiled the Disk Pro 2, a follow-up to its popular Disk Pro external SSD, this time allowing users to install their own M.2 drives up to 8TB in 2230, 2242, or 2280 sizes. The device comes in two variants: a Lite version with HDMI 2.0 output and a 5W minimum power draw, and an Ultra version with HDMI 2.1 supporting 4K@144Hz or 8K@30Hz, a faster card reader, and just 1.5W minimum power consumption. Both models include active cooling, magnetic attachment, and 80W passthrough charging.
Tom's Hardware tested the Thermalright TR-KG750, a 750W ATX 3.1 power supply built for Thermalright by OEM manufacturer HKC. The unit squeaks past 80 PLUS Gold certification at 115 VAC, lacks any Cybenetics efficiency or noise rating, uses mostly unbranded internal components, and pairs mediocre voltage regulation and ripple suppression with a sleeve-bearing fan that runs constantly and gets loud under load.
United Launch Alliance remains one of the few major US rocket companies still focused almost entirely on launch services rather than branching into satellites, spacecraft, or other space businesses. Competitors like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Firefly Aerospace have all expanded beyond launch to capture higher-margin revenue streams, leaving ULA increasingly isolated in a low-margin segment of the industry. This has renewed speculation about whether ULA's parent companies, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, will eventually sell the venture.
