The U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning of hackers exploiting an arbitrary code execution flaw in the Git distributed version control system. The agency has added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and has set the patch deadline for federal agencies to September 15th. Git version control system allows software development teams to track codebase changes over time. The library is the backbone of modern software collaboration,
It’s a well-worn trope in science fiction. We see it in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the premise of the Terminator series, in which Skynet triggers a nuclear holocaust to stop scientists from shutting it down. Those sci-fi roots go deep. AI doomerism, the idea that this technology—specifically its hypothetical upgrades, artificial general intelligence and super-intelligence—will crash civilizations, even kill us all, is now riding another wave. The weird thing is th
>>> 2025-08-25 teletext in north america (PDF) I have an ongoing fascination with "interactive TV": a series of efforts, starting in the 1990s and continuing today, to drag the humble living room television into the world of the computer. One of the big appeals of interactive TV was adoption, the average household had a TV long before the average household had a computer. So, it seems like interactive TV services should have proliferated before personal computers, at least following the logic t

SpaceX's massive Starship rocket was scheduled to lift off from the company's Texas launch site this evening for its 10th flight. After scrubbing the launch initially planned for Sunday, August 24, things were apparently back on track for Monday, August 25. The launch window opened at 7:30PM ET (6:30PM CT) and was even livestreamed on the SpaceX website and on X, with a webcast starting 30 minutes before the supposed launch. However, SpaceX ultimately stood down from the test flight due to weath
The Star Wars sequel trilogy remains a hot topic for Star Wars fans, young and old. No matter where you stand on the three films, though, one thing we can probably all agree on is the one prop from the series that we’d most like to hold in our hands and explore: the sacred Jedi texts. Revealed in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, the Jedi texts are stored on Ahch-To and watched over by Luke Skywalker after he leaves the Jedi order and the Force behind him. They’re the last remnants of the
I'd say this is a setup for a joke later on in the blog post, except the joke doesn't even make sense, so I don't really know what this is. Generated by ChatGPT. There’s a semi-well-known adage in software development that says when you have a hard code change, you should “first make the hard change easy, and then make the easy change.” In other words, refactor the code (or do whatever else you need to do) to simplify the change you’re trying to make before trying to make the change. This is es
Artificial intelligence systems need content to produce results, and they've been criticized for not paying the people who wrote and edited that content. Now, Perplexity AI, the AI-powered search engine, is introducing Comet Plus. This new subscription tier will distribute revenue to publishing partners whenever readers use AI to glean or deliver journalistic content, the company said in a blog post on Monday. In the AI age, high-quality information is key, and Perplexity contends that publishe
Perplexity is launching a new revenue-sharing plan for publishers that will pay them every time its AI assistants use an article to answer a question, The Wall Street Journal reports. Perplexity is launching the plan (and partially paying for it) with a new Comet Plus subscription that gives subscribers access "to premium content from a group of trusted publishers and journalists." Comet Plus costs $5 per month, and based on Perplexity's description, it's primarily designed to account for the a
Welcome to another post in the AI Coding Series, where I'll share the strategies and insights I've developed for effective AI-assisted coding. In this post, I break down how I use DeepWiki - my go-to tool for understanding unfamiliar codebases, spinning up dev environments, and generating context for coding agents like Claude and Cursor. Whether you're evaluating an open-source repo, onboarding to a new project, or building an AI-powered dev tool, DeepWiki can save you hours. Note: This is not

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Chinese phone brands are exploring more ways to enhance their camera capabilities. One way could be to include detachable external cameras or lenses. Xiaomi and Vivo already have similar options in China, and we might see improvements and additions from other brands. The Chinese phone market is ultra-competitive, with brands promptly innovating to stay ahead in a tussle over unusual feats. Phone cameras have been of significant importance to these bran

“No one believes I’m a virgin” is a common refrain during the premiere of Hulu’s new dating competition series, Are You My First? The reality show centers on “the largest group of eligible virgins ever assembled,” the hosts claim—apart from a high school cafeteria, one might assume—to follow the tried-and-true format that defines shows like Love Island and Too Hot to Handle. A perfectly staged villa’s worth of conventionally attractive people in their twenties and early thirties are sequestered
Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Recorder app has received a visual overhaul in line with Google’s Material 3 Expressive style. Expect changes like a larger play button, more prominent toggles, and larger waveforms. The app also takes a step back by moving some useful shortcut icons into the three-dot menu. The Recorder app is one of my favorite Pixel phone features, owing to its on-device transcriptions, cloud backup functionality, and web-based access. Over the years, the

HMA is a Microsoft Exchange Server feature that allows users to access on-premises mailboxes using authorization tokens from the cloud. Tracked under EX1137017 in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, this known issue is caused by a recent service change, designed to improve the efficiency of mailbox syncs, which is triggering 12-hour sync delay

Researchers at Cornell University have developed an electronic chip that they describe as a "microwave brain." The simplified chip is analog rather than digital, yet can process ultrafast data and wireless communication signals simultaneously. We are so used to thinking of computers as digital machines running on binary code that it's easy to forget that these are only one type of computer. In fact, both historically and today, many devices that we can classify as computers are analog in functi

Depth-first search (DFS) on a graph (binary tree or otherwise) is most often implemented recursively, but there are occasions where it may be desirable to consider an iterative approach instead. Such as when we may be worried about overflowing the call stack. In such cases it makes sense to rely on implementing DFS with our own stack instead of relying on our program's implicit call stack. But doing so can lead to some problems if we are not careful. Specifically, as noted in another blog post,
