gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-24 08:55:17

The Atlantic’s first hurricane of 2025 wasted no time making history. Hurricane Erin will be remembered as one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record, with perhaps the fastest intensification rate for any storm earlier than September 1, CNN reports. At 11 a.m. ET on Friday, August 15, Erin was a Category 1 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. Over the next 24 hours, this storm strengthened significantly. By 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, the NHC declared Erin a “c

The US May Have Already Lost the AI Race to China Due to a Key Weakness

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-23 03:00:36

You might have heard of an "AI race" heating up between the US and China, a bitter rivalry between two global adversaries that could shape the direction of world history. At least, that's how some in the US feel. While China has repeatedly tried to establish a geopolitical friendship with the richest nation in the world, officials and pundits in the US have doubled down, reframing artificial intelligence as the 21st century's nuclear bomb. In the meantime, China may have gotten a massive lead

Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-24 12:39:42

A recent ruling from Germany’s Federal Supreme Court (BGH) has revived a legal battle over whether browser-based ad blockers infringe copyright, raising fears about a potential ban of the tools in the country. The case stems from online media company Axel Springer’s lawsuit against Eyeo - the maker of the popular Adblock Plus browser extension. Axel Springer says that ad blockers threaten its revenue generation model and frames website execution inside web browsers as a copyright violation. T

How to ingest 1B rows/s in ClickHouse

After seeing the engineers at Tesla talk about 1B row/s ClickHouse ingestion, I wanted to see if I could do it myself. A few weeks ago, I saw a talk from Tesla claiming they were ingesting 1B rows per second using ClickHouse. I'm a petrolhead but I don't have any reason to think they are lying :). One (American) billion rows per second might feel like a lot, so let me try to explain how you can achieve that using ClickHouse.

It looks like something straight out of a Ouija board horror movie, but frosty—researchers have figured out how to make ice move by itself. A video capturing the creepy dynamic features an ice disk melting on a metal surface etched with an asymmetrical herringbone pattern. The ice and its small puddle slowly start to move sideways before suddenly picking up speed and slingshotting across the metal plate.

Maria Diaz/ZDNET With the adoption of remote and hybrid working, having a reliable internet connection at home is imperative -- not just for one device, but for several. If you have a family, maybe even dozens. So what's better, one single access point, or a mesh network spread about the home? The answer depends on how your home and office are set up and what kind of connection you need.
