The Fed's interest rate decisions impact mortgages, but the relationship isn't straightforward. Tharon Green/CNET There's a wild amount of uncertainty in today's economy, but one thing is clear: The Federal Reserve isn't planning to lower interest rates this summer. Mortgage rates, which have been stuck near 7% for the past several months, are likely to stay higher for longer. On June 18, Fed officials voted to leave borrowing rates unchanged for a fourth consecutive meeting. Holding interest

June Mortgage Forecast: Will Economic Chaos Fuel Even Higher Rates?

As the Federal Reserve likely holds interest rates steady, mortgage rates are expected to stay in a narrow range. Tharon Green/CNET The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for the fourth consecutive time this year at its monetary policy meeting this week. However, rising jobless claims, intensified geopolitical conflict and slowing economic growth could force the central bank to cut rates as early as the fall.

"Unlike some other recent tech deals you might have heard about in the AI space, this is not a pivot or a winding down," Droege wrote in a post directed at customers, employees and investors.

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-13 15:25:49

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger on mobile devices. This should make for more seamless logins, as a passkey lets people sign in by using the same data they already use to verify their identities on a smartphone. This includes stuff like a PIN code, a fingerprint or a quick face scan. This is not only convenient, but more secure than traditional passwords. Passkeys are resistant to many types of malicious attacks, as they can’t be easily guessed or stolen. This w

Revisiting Minsky's Society of Mind in 2025

A Teenager’s Frustration, a Researcher’s Revelation (Note: this is a deeply nerdy / technical post, with most applicability to folks building AI systems, and of little relevance to most users of AI.) In the late 90s, as a tech-obsessed teenager, I picked up Marvin Minsky’s 1986 book The Society of Mind expecting profound answers about intelligence.

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-13 19:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further. Critically, the report suggests that the Spanish grid

Deezer says 70% of AI music streams on its service are fake

US Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 6–3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti, the justices found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the case was whether Tennessee’s ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which states that the government cannot discriminate against individuals based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
