ParadeDB takes on Elasticsearch as interest in Postgres explodes amid AI boom

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-07-29 07:24:51

Open source database management system Postgres is nearly 40 years old, but has recently started seeing explosive demand due to being very well-suited for AI applications. Despite this rise in popularity, search and analytics functionality remain limited. ParadeDB is changing that. ParadeDB is an open source Postgres extension that facilitates full-text search and analytics directly in Postgres without users needing to transfer data to a separate source. The platform integrates with other data

When the merger closes, Zeekr shareholders will receive either $2.69 in cash per share or 1.23 newly issued Geely shares for each Zeekr share they own, per a regulator

So, what makes Starlink and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet the biggest names in rural broadband? One word: Availability. Both providers offer extensive wireless coverage in places where fiber and cable can't reach, making them a top option for rural communities. While Starlink has effectively revolutionized satellite internet with its fleet of low Earth orbit satellites, and has reportedly doubled its speeds compared to two years ago, we would still recommend T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-07-29 19:00:16

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t. The unwanted information may still be hiding somewhere inside the model so that it can be accessed

Eric Zeman / Android Authority TL;DR An official Samsung survey suggests that the company is thinking about Galaxy phones with built-in Qi 2 magnets. The survey also hints that these future phones could lack wired charging capabilities. This news comes as recent Samsung phones require a separate case for MagSafe and general magnetic accessories.

Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home.

How to fix an iPhone alarm that's not going off - and why it might be happening

How I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album When I was young and had too much free time, I used to write and record music. I wasn’t very successful—mostly because I couldn’t sing or play any instruments. The songs always ended up sounding much worse than they did in my head. But now, it turns out I can just feed my old demo songs to AI and ask it to do a better job. So that’s what I did—and the result exceeded all my expectations.
