Fed Boss Concerned About AI's Effect on Job Market

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-14 07:00:47

One of the key questions swirling around economics circles is the effect artificial intelligence will have — or perhaps is already having — on the job market. While most tales of "AI automation" are anecdotal at best, preliminary data appears to show at least some level of job market disruption for young workers in fields vulnerable to the current capabilities of AI software. Whether or not AI is actually taking those jobs is another question. Real-world performance of the software remains dre

Could T-Mobile and other big carriers be heading toward an online-only future?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 04:00:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s no secret that customer service has been slowly but surely declining as the big three carriers look to cut costs, but in-store support has arguably taken the sharpest hit. All three carriers have closed at least some of their locations and made moves to reduce their reliance on third-party stores, all while raising sales goals to nearly unachievable levels. The result has been widespread burnout and high turnover. It’s clear that carriers now view retail

5 ways I use this forgotten yet powerful Google Maps feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 08:30:38

Andy Walker / Android Authority Did you know that Google Maps has a robust custom map creation tool? I don’t blame you if you don’t; Google doesn’t exactly make it easy to discover or use. Nevertheless, My Maps allows users to create custom maps with defined pins, highlighted routes, annotations, and more. When used correctly, it can transform how you plan trips, navigate, or discover new destinations within Google Maps. It took me many moons to realize how adaptable and useful the feature is,

The EU Just Killed ARR

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-15 20:13:27

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe. With the EU Data Act (effective September 2025), every SaaS contract with an EU customer becomes a “cancel anytime” subscription. Customers can walk away with two months’ notice. No e

Andy Walker / Android Authority Many believe in the idea that you should critique what you love. If that’s true, then I must have a strong affection for Google Maps. I use this navigation app on Android and Android Auto almost daily, and each day I’m reminded of its missing features. This is particularly evident when I’m on a longer drive.

Scientists uncover extreme life inside the Arctic ice

In brief Researchers studied single-celled algae, called diatoms, from the Arctic that were previously assumed to be hibernating in the ice and found they were actually quite active. This activity, which continued when temperatures dropped to -15 C, is the coldest-ever movement recorded for a eukaryotic cell. The diatoms move through a type of gliding, which is enabled by a combination of mucus and molecular motors that are similar to systems seen in human muscles. Given how abundant these di

Automating Distro Updates in CI

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate

The benefits of using a VPN service to protect your privacy are clear: Your ISP and other snoops won't be able to spy on your online activity. What's not always clear is which VPN service is trustworthy. A VPN, or virtual private network, is software that creates a secure connection between your device and the internet by routing your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server. A VPN essentially masks your IP address and helps keep some of your browsing activities private.
