gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-05 23:17:26

After defending his PhD thesis on modeling interstellar objects on Monday, June 30, Matthew Hopkins intended to take some well-deserved time off. It would appear the universe had other plans for him. The very next day, the Atlas Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, detected a mysterious object whizzing toward the Sun. Early observations suggested that it came from outside our solar system, potentially marking the third discovery of an interstellar object

Verizon’s request to lock phones supported by police, opposed by users

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-05 23:30:50

With Verizon seeking permission to lock phones to its network for six months or longer instead of the current 60 days, a coalition of advocacy groups yesterday urged the Federal Communications Commission to reject the cellular carrier's petition. "Phone locking distorts market competition, raises switching costs, and contributes to unnecessary e-waste," the groups said in a filing.

Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Gains Momentum in the U.S.

news.ycombinator.com Julia Tilton 2026-02-06 00:28:58

The United States’ 90,000-ton stockpile of radioactive nuclear waste has long been a liability, but researchers are increasingly eyeing it as a resource. New techniques in transforming spent fuel, new nuclear fuel cycle directives from the Trump administration, and the doling out of a Biden-era $40 million research program together aim to repurpose nuclear waste on a commercial scale. In a suite of executive orders announced on May 23, U.S. President Donald Trump directed the U.S. Department of

A New Kind of AI Model Lets Data Owners Take Control

wired.com Will Knight 2026-02-06 03:59:23

A new kind of large language model, developed by researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2), makes it possible to control how training data is used even after a model has been built. The new model, called FlexOlmo, could challenge the current industry paradigm of big artificial intelligence companies slurping up data from the web, books, and other sources—often with little regard for ownership—and then owning the resulting models entirely.
