gizmodo.com Joe Tilleli 2025-08-10 03:25:45

Working remotely doesn’t require you to stay confined to your home. You can actually work from anywhere you wish so long as it has an internet connection. Personally, I tend not to venture out often. I just don’t feel as efficient outside my usual home setup. I’ve created a solid workspace at my desk, complete with three large monitors that spread out my work as much as I would like to. When limited to just my laptop screen, I feel so restricted. At least, that used to be the case before I got m

Sources familiar with OpenAI’s plans tell me that CEO Sam Altman’s AI lab is readying an open-weight model that will debut as soon as next week with providers other than just OpenAI and

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe

Moroccan founder raises $4.2M for her YC-backed startup building the next layer of AI search
