Apple tests if AI assistants can anticipate the consequences of in-app actions

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-24 18:08:42

As AI agents come closer to taking real actions on our behalf (messaging someone, buying something, toggling account settings, etc.), a new study co-authored by Apple looks into how well do these systems really understand the consequences of their actions. Here’s what they found out. Presented recently at the ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces in Italy, the paper From Interaction to Impact: Towards Safer AI Agents Through Understanding and Evaluating Mobile UI Operation Impacts intro

E.A. Spitzka's Studies of Exceptional and Deviant Brains (2024)

The younger Spitzka’s career flourished after he took a position at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, where he gained recognition for his studies on the relationship between brain structures and behavior. His particular interest lay in the extremes of human nature—both pathological and extraordinary—and he sought to understand the physiology behind deviance and brilliance. In addition to his academic pursuits, Spitzka served as the editor of the 1910 edition of Gray’s Anatomy, one of

Rocket Report: SpaceX’s dustup on the border; Northrop has a nozzle problem

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-24 18:00:47

Welcome to Edition 7.50 of the Rocket Report! We're nearly halfway through the year, and it seems like a good time to look back on the past six months. What has been most surprising to me in the world of rockets? First, I didn't expect SpaceX to have this much trouble with Starship Version 2. Growing pains are normal for new rockets, but I expected the next big hurdles for SpaceX to clear with Starship to be catching the ship from orbit and orbital refueling, not completing a successful launch.

Apple is changing its App Store policies in the EU in a last-minute attempt to avoid a series of escalating fines from Brussels. The $3 trillion iPhone maker will allow developers in the bloc to offer apps designed for the iOS operating system in places other than Apple’s App Store, the company said.

Joe Maring / Android Authority It’s been just about two weeks since Google launched Android 16, and for the most part, it’s an update that came and went without too much fanfare.

Well, we did it… we cracked 4MIPS on our TTL CPU. I have to admit I’m both relieved and surprised. The key parts to achieving this was to decrease the latency for the instruction decode and also the flag register writing. The time to decode an instruction, perform a bit of math and then write to the flags was at around 270nS. With the changes we made, the instruction decode had a radical reworking and the flag writing had some big changes as well, means we go this down to under 200nS. Which m

Changing one gene can restore some tissue regeneration to mice

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed limbs, through eyes and parts of brain, to the spinal cord. Mammals, though, have mostly lost this ability somewhere along their evolutionary path. Regeneration persisted, in a limited number of tissues, in just a few mammalian species like rabbits or goats. “We were trying to learn how certain anima

Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself

Due to the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, our planet’s crust is constantly recycled, making rocks and minerals from its earliest days incredibly rare. That’s frustrating for geologists, since surface-level Hadean rocks (rocks older than 4.03 billion years) could provide significant insight into the first geological stages of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history.
