technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-10-25 06:10:00

Every year MIT Technology Review celebrates accomplished young scientists, entrepreneurs, and inventors from around the world in our Innovators Under 35 list. We’ve just published the 2025 edition. This year, though, the context is different: The US scientific community is under attack. Since Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has fired top government scientists, targeted universities and academia, and made substantial funding cuts to the country’s science and technology

This new Android 16 QPR2 setting will make desktop mode less frustrating

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A new “Universal cursor” setting in Android 16 QPR2 will let users disable the seamless mouse movement between a phone and an external display. This toggle controls whether the mouse cursor can move between screens when it reaches the edge, preventing accidental screen-hopping. Found in the first QPR2 beta, this small but welcome change gives users more control over Android’s DeX-like desktop experience. One of the most exciting features in Android 16

There’s bad news for AirPods Live Translation in EU countries

We first spotted that AirPods Live translation was coming a month before the announcement. Initial language support is listed as English, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish – with four more languages coming later this year. But while European languages are supported, you won’t necessarily be able to take advantage of that if you are within one of the countries in which they’re spoken … We’d already seen some mixed news.

Live Translation with AirPods won't come to EU-based Apple users

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-25 06:54:10

Europe, the bloc with 24 official languages and 287 spoken in total, won't get Apple's Live Translation with AirPods feature for now. "Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page. No reason was given, but it may have to do with the EU's strict rules around artificial intelligence and how it impacts privacy. If that's the case, Apple may be waiting for the EU

Brussels faces privacy crossroads over encryption backdoors

Europe, long seen as a bastion of privacy and digital rights, will debate this week whether to enforce surveillance on citizens' devices. Representatives from member states will meet on Friday to consider legislation critics call Chat Control, aka "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse," which seeks to require ISPs or messaging app providers to scan user content or backdoor encryption so that intelligence agencies can do it themselves.

Mapping to the PICO-8 palette, perceptually Given a palette and an image, how would you map each pixel to a color in the palette?

AI's $344B 'Language Model' Bet Looks Fragile

news.ycombinator.com Parmy Olson 2025-10-25 05:49:24

Every investor knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. So why is Silicon Valley betting on just one way to build artificial intelligence? This year the world’s four largest tech firms will spend $344 billion on AI, mostly on data centers used to train and run so-called large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT that can process text, audio and visual content. The technology is largely underpinned by the same technique of predicting tokens that appear next in a sequence.

Behind the Scenes of Bun Install

Running bun install is fast, very fast. On average, it runs ~7× faster than npm, ~4× faster than pnpm, and ~17× faster than yarn. The difference is especially noticeable in large codebases. What used to take minutes now takes (milli)seconds. These aren't just cherry-picked benchmarks. Bun is fast because it treats package installation as a systems programming problem, not a JavaScript problem.

After Ukrainian testing, drone-detection radar doubles range with simple software patch

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces.

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

Apple’s new live translation feature for AirPods won’t be available in the EU at launch

Texas banned lab-grown meat. What’s next for the industry?

These legal challenges are adding barriers to an industry that’s still in its infancy and already faces plenty of challenges before it can reach consumers in a meaningful way.
