Rust compiler performance

Perhaps the most often repeated complaint about Rust is its slow feedback loop and long compilation times. I hear about it all the time; in Rust podcasts, blog posts, surveys, conference talks or offline discussions. I also regularly complain about it, being a Rust user myself! Recently, in addition to the usual compile times complaints, I also started noticing the following sentiments being expressed by frustrated Rust developers: “Why doesn’t the Rust Project care more about this pressing and

CEO Says AI Will Replace So Many Jobs That It’ll Cause a Major Recession

The CEO of layaway startup Klarna is claiming that AI is coming for your white-collar jobs — even though his own experiments with replacing human workers with AI were a bust.

Why Bats Don’t Get Cancer—and What That Means for Humans

When you think of longevity in animals, chances are that the Greenland shark will immediately come up. After all, researchers estimate that the enigmatic animal can live for at least 250 years. It turns out, however, that bats also hold their own when it comes to lifespan, with some species living up to 25 years—equivalent to 180 human years—and they tend to do it cancer-free. Researchers from the University of Rochester (UR) have investigated anti-cancer “superpowers,” as described in a UR sta

‘Doctor Who’ Will Return… as an Animated Kids Show

When Doctor Who came to the controversial climax of its latest season recently, it did so with an uncertainty the series hasn’t faced for 20 years: there was then, and still is, no official news if the series will return. But while that’s still case, the BBC has announced news that should give some reassurance that Doctor Who will have some form of future on TV. It’s just perhaps not the way most fans would’ve hoped for. This morning the corporation confirmed that a new Doctor Who series was in

Amazon Prime Video Now Comes With Double the Ads!

It wasn’t that long ago that an ad-free experience was the default for streaming services. But companies need to make sure the line keeps going up, and one way to do that is to monetize the audience by serving them ads. Amazon introduced ads to its Prime Video streaming service last year, with the promise that it would be light and unintrusive. Well, time to juice those profits, because Adweek reports that Amazon will double the number of ads that it serves per hour to its viewers. Look at this

Inexpensive AI Agents Threaten Entry-Level Coding Jobs

In 2007, Luke Arrigoni, an AI entrepreneur, earned $63,000 at his first job as a junior software developer. Today, he says AI tools that write better code than he did back then cost just $120 annually. The numbers don’t sit right with him. Arrigoni, who runs Loti AI, a company that helps Hollywood stars find unauthorized deepfakes, worries that underpriced AI tools encourage companies to eliminate entry-level roles.

First PS3 emulator hits the Play Store, goes open-source (kind of)

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR PS3 emulator aPS3e is now available on the Google Play Store. From the mysterious Chinese developer aenu, it’s based on the RPCS3 source code.

Craig Federighi explains why it took so long to make the iPad more Mac-like

iPadOS 26 arguably brings the biggest update to the iPad ever seen, turning it into something much more Mac-like in both UI and capabilities. But since iPads have been using the same chips as Macs since 2021, why did it take so long? That’s the question Apple’s software head Craig Federighi sets out to answer in a new interview … iPadOS 26 is so ground-breaking that I argued Apple has finally turned the device into something worthy of the term ‘computer.’ The biggest change by far is proper w

iOS 26 screenshots could be an intriguing preview of Apple's delayed Siri rework
