Government's Intel intervention is 'essential' for national security, tech analyst says

A government intervention in struggling chipmaker Intel is "essential" for the sake of national security, analyst Gil Luria said Friday, following a report that the Trump administration is weighing taking a stake in the company. "We're all capitalists," Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, said in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box." "We don't want government to intervene and own private enterprise, but this is national security." Bloomberg reported Thursday that the Trump ad

New Bitcoin Purchases by the U.S. Government Still on the Table, Bessent Says

Bitcoin recently hit an all-time high of $124,400 and is up 93% from over a year ago. But fans of the cryptocurrency think it can go even higher, and those folks experienced a rollercoaster of emotions on Thursday after Scott Bessent gave conflicting signals about what the U.S. government had planned for the world’s most popular cryptocurrency. Initially, Bessent disappointed Bitcoin fans Thursday morning when he said the U.S. government’s so-called strategic Bitcoin reserve, first announced by

Lambdas, Nested Functions, and Blocks (2021)

I have the fortunate privilege to be part of the ISO C Standard mailing list, and recently a thread kicked off about Lambdas and what their need is in the C Community. That thread was in response to an ongoing push by Jens Gustedt’s proposal N2736, where Gustedt is building steam to put a proper function + data type into the C Standard at some point. What kicked off in that thread was a lot of talking about nested functions, blocks, statement expressions, whether we even need the ability to have

US government agency drops Grok after MechaHitler backlash, report says

xAI apparently lost a government contract after a tweak to Grok's prompting triggered an antisemitic meltdown where the chatbot praised Hitler and declared itself MechaHitler last month. Despite the scandal, xAI announced that its products would soon be available for federal workers to purchase through the General Services Administration. At the time, xAI claimed this was an "important milestone" for its government business. But Wired reviewed emails and spoke to government insiders, which rev

The “Godfather of AI” Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering mind behind AI industry-transforming neural networks, who's often referred to as a "godfather of AI," says we need to infuse AI with "maternal instincts" to save humanity from rogue AI. Though his work on neural networks helped to usher in the large language models (LLMs) that dominate Silicon Valley today, these days, Hinton is known for being somewhat of an AI alarmist: he believes that there's a significant chance that superintelligent AI will wipe out humanki

Anthropic brings Claude's learning mode to regular users and devs

This past spring, Anthropic introduced learning mode, a feature that changed Claude's interaction style. When enabled, the chatbot would, following a question, try to guide the user to their own solution, instead of providing them with an answer outright. Since its introduction in April, learning mode has only been available to Claude for Education users. Now, like OpenAI did with Study Mode, Anthropic is making the tool available to everyone. Starting today, Claude.ai users will find a new opt

Google Will Now Blur Nude Photos in Your Messages. Here's How to Turn It On (or Off)

Some Android users are starting to see blurred images on their devices while using Google Messages. It's part of a Sensitive Content Warning system announced last year that is now rolling out on Android devices that obscures images containing suspected nudity. In a Help Center post, Google explains that when the feature is turned on, these warnings can detect and blur images with nudity and generate a warning when one is being received, sent or forwarded. "All detection and blurring of nude ima

Now that the pandemic has settled into endemicity, Microsoft wants employees to return to the of

A new poverty line shifted the World Bank's poverty data. What changed and why?

$3 a day: A new poverty line has shifted the World Bank’s data on extreme poverty. What changed, and why? In June 2025, the World Bank increased its extreme poverty estimates by 125 million people. This doesn’t mean the world has gotten poorer: it reflects a new, higher International Poverty Line of $3 a day, up from $2.15. To track progress towards ending extreme poverty by 2030, the United Nations relies on the World Bank to estimate the share of people living below a certain threshold, calle

Google Messages now ensures you don’t get flashed without your consent

It will show warnings before opening any explicit media shared with you to ensure you approve of it. It will also warn you of the risks of sending such photos before you do. All processing takes place locally on your device, so none of the private media is sent to Google. The outpouring of multimedia junk, thanks to RCS, in Android’s default Messages app has inspired G

Changing these 6 settings on my iPad improved the battery life by hours

Adam Breeden/ZDNET As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby. Also: How you're charging your tablet is slowly killing it

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial. Many feared money would corrupt the spirit of volunt

The Kryptos Key Is Going Up for Sale

Ever since artist James Sanborn unveiled Kryptos, an outdoor sculpture that sits at CIA headquarters, amateur and professional cryptanalysts have been feverishly attempting to crack the code hidden in its nearly 1800-character message. While they have decoded 3 of the 4 panels of ciphertext in the S-shaped copper artwork, the final panel, known as K4, still defies solution. Only one human being on Earth knows the message of K4: Sanborn. But soon someone else will join the club. Sanborn is puttin

What Medieval People Got Right About Learning (2019)

We tend to assume that if people today and people five hundred years ago do things differently, it’s because we’ve figured out a better way to do it. After all, we have microscopes, democracy and penicillin. People in the middle ages lit cats on fire for fun. Yet despite overwhelming progress, it’s ironically in the area of education that we may be the ones who have it backward. Apprenticeships were, for a long time, the dominant way of learning professional skills. A master agrees to show you
