TL;DR The latest Android Canary release lets you add URLs to captured screenshots before sharing them. Users simply have to tick a box to include the URL, no copy/paste needed. This feature works with apps like Google Chrome, YouTube, and Telegram. Google has been working on adding URLs to shared screenshots for a while now. In fact, we first heard about this capability two years ago as part of Android 14. It looks like the waiting might be over as the latest Android Canary release offers thi

The Open-Office Trap (2014)

In 1973, my high school, Acton-Boxborough Regional, in Acton, Massachusetts, moved to a sprawling brick building at the foot of a hill. Inspired by architectural trends of the preceding decade, the classrooms in one of its wings didn’t have doors. The rooms opened up directly onto the hallway, and tidbits about the French Revolution, say, or Benjamin Franklin’s breakfast, would drift from one classroom to another.

Report: Meta is hitting pause on AI hiring after its poaching spree

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-11-11 00:25:15

In Brief Meta has frozen hiring in its AI organization after restructuring the unit earlier this week, reports The Wall Street Journal. The hiring freeze follows weeks of poaching more than 50 AI researchers and engineers from competitors. The freeze went into effect last week, and it’s not clear how long it will last. Meta is still likely working through its reorg, which split its AI unit, Meta Superintelligence Labs, into four new groups: TBD Labs, run by former Scale AI founder Alexandr Wan

Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Them—and Why Did I Love It?

Sitting a few feet away was Simon Last, one of Notion’s three cofounders. He is gangly and shy, an engineer who has relinquished management responsibilities to focus on being a “super IC”—an individual contributor. He stood to shake my hand, and I awkwardly thanked him for letting me vibe-code. Simon returned to his laptop, where he was monitoring an AI as it coded for him. Later, he would tell me that using AI coding apps was like managing a bunch of interns. Since 2022, the Notion app has had
