Oura's CEO wants its smart ring to be the doctor in your pocket

zdnet.com Nina Raemont 2025-06-11 21:30:00

ZDNET I've been wearing an Oura Ring for over a year. Whenever I'm asked about my thoughts on the device, I say that the Oura Ring is one of the few products that nearly always does exactly what it claims to do. The ring can predict when you're about to get sick, catch variations in your heart rate, provide an accurate list of ingredients to log after you take a photo of your breakfast, and document your physical and emotional stress in real time. I'll never forget how it captured my sky-high

FAQ on Microsoft's topological qubit thing

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-06-11 16:25:20

Q1. Did you see Microsoft’s announcement? A. Yes, thanks, you can stop emailing to ask! Microsoft’s Chetan Nayak was even kind enough to give me a personal briefing a few weeks ago. Yesterday I did a brief interview on this for the BBC’s World Business Report, and I also commented for MIT Technology Review. Q2. What is a topological qubit? A. It’s a special kind of qubit built using nonabelian anyons, which are excitations that can exist in a two-dimensional medium, behaving neither as fermio

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-06-11 21:00:11

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI. Equipped with an A18 chip -- just like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus -- the more affordable phone can power a suite of Apple Intelligence features including notifica

Valar Atomics comes out of stealth with $19M and a pilot reactor site

techcrunch.com Mike Butcher 2025-06-11 19:40:53

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) have raised more than $1.5 billion in the past year, as tech companies hunger for power to train AI models and governments decide to commit to the industry. For example, X-energy raised $700 million this month, and Paris-based Newcleo raised $151 million last year, and one would be remiss to not mention the $700 million invested into Oklo, NuScale and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relati

Humane wrapped its bet against the iPhone in the cloak of AI and lost

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-06-10 18:22:02

The Ai Pin is officially dead. Parts of Humane have been sold to HP, and the Ai Pin will cease to function in a week. Cause of death? An outdated and undercooked bet against the iPhone made by former Apple engineers that Humane tried to disguise as artificial intelligence hardware. Bloomberg reports that HP has agreed to acquire assets from Humane for $116 million. Humane’s sole product, Ai Pin, won’t become an HP product.

Google Lens powering new Screen Search in Chrome for iOS

Google is more deeply integrating Lens visual search into Chrome for iOS with a new Screen Search capability that takes after Circle to Search on Android. Meanwhile, Google Lens can now recognize more unique images. Chrome on the iPhone and iPad already has an instance of Lens that lets you take a picture or analyze a screenshot.

Scented products cause indoor air pollution on par with car exhaust

news.ycombinator.com Patra Et Al. 2025-06-11 14:53:28

Using scented products indoors changes the chemistry of the air, producing as much air pollution as car exhaust does outside, according to a new study. Researchers say that breathing in these nanosized particles could have serious health implications. When you hear or see the words ‘air pollution,’ you most likely think of things like factories and car exhaust. That’s pollution that is out there – outside your house. But have you thought about how you’re contributing to air pollution inside of

Researchers Find Elon Musk's New Grok AI Is Extremely Vulnerable to Hacking

futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-11 17:28:54

Researchers at the AI security company Adversa AI have found that Grok 3, the latest model released by Elon Musk's startup xAI this week, is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. The team found that the model is extremely vulnerable to "simple jailbreaks," which could be used by bad actors to "reveal how to seduce kids, dispose of bodies, extract DMT, and, of course, build a bomb," according to Adversa CEO and cofounder Alex Polyakov. And it only gets worse from there. "It’s not just ja

Andry Djumantara/Getty Images After reversing a Biden-era executive order on AI regulation and firing staff across several government agencies, the Trump administration is gearing up to make cuts to the US AI Safety Institute (AISI) next. On Wednesday, Axios reported that probationary employees at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which houses AISI, are "bracing to be fired imminently."

Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

It’s not nothing, but it’s not an extra-governmental agency that has access to the backend systems that make America run and hum. Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer.

Amazon's Prime Video on-demand streaming service appears to be using generative AI to write up public movie summaries — and the results are embarrassing, with what looks like AI slop getting copy-pasted into the description of an iconic film.

The Humane AI Pin debacle is a reminder that AI alone doesn’t make a compelling product

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-11 21:01:19

The demise of Humane is perhaps the most predictable tech story of 2025. The company tried to build some buzz around its AI Pin in late 2023, marketing the device as a tiny replacement for smartphones and playing up the fact that Humane’s co-founders were former Apple employees. The problem was that it wasn’t really clear what the AI Pin would do to justify its $700 asking price (plus a $24/month subscription). It didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control.
