Trump Admin Has Dropped a Third of All Investigations Into Big Tech, Advocates Say

Trump talked a big game during the election about taking the fight to Silicon Valley. But, since taking office, the former reality star seems to have done little to make good on that promise. In fact, a recent survey of his actions claims that Trump, whose political victory was partially propelled by gargantuan gobs of cash from tech firms and their executives, has dropped a third of all investigations and enforcement actions against tech companies since taking power. The report, published by t

Google Photos is cooking up a more social way to react to shared pictures (APK teardown)

Trump’s AI strategy trades guardrails for growth in race against China

The Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI Action Plan on Wednesday, a document that takes a sharp shift away from former President Biden’s cautious approach to addressing the risks of AI, and instead barrels ahead with plans to build out AI infrastructure, cut red tape for tech companies, shore up national security, and compete with China. The downstream effects of this shift will likely ripple throughout various industries and may even be felt by the average American consumer.

Trump’s AI Action Plan Is a Crusade Against ‘Bias’—and Regulation

On Wednesday, the Trump Administration unveiled its new artificial intelligence action plan geared at keeping US efforts competitive with China. With over 90 policies recommended, it’s a wide-ranging document that, if followed, would give Silicon Valley’s most powerful companies even more leeway to grow. “We believe we’re in an AI race,” White House AI czar David Sacks said on a call ahead of the action plan’s release. “We want the United States to win that race.” The Office of Science and Tech

Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

Before this work began, we already had a faster alternative to Github Actions cache. Our approach was different: we forked each of the popular first-party actions that depended on Actions cache to point to our faster, colocated cache. But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in
