The achievement extends entanglement, normally demonstrated between subatomic particles like photons, to a macroscopic mechanical object.

He said he and Ternus maintain a relationship built on trust and frequent communication, and he told Ternus not to imitate his own leadership style.
A new open-source tool called k10s offers a terminal-based dashboard for managing Kubernetes clusters, built with Go and the Bubble Tea framework. It supports mouse clicks on rows, panes and buttons, a unified search across resource kinds and objects via ctrl+p, lazy per-kind informer loading to speed startup, an AI assistant (ctrl+a) that reads current cluster context to answer questions, and a self-update command that installs new releases over the running binary with checksum verification.
Google released AI Edge Foresight, a note-taking app currently available only on MacOS that transcribes meetings from Google Meet, Zoom or in-person conversations entirely on-device. It organizes notes, works with files like PDFs and Google Docs, and offers a Live Assistance feature to answer questions based on meeting transcripts, all without sending data to the cloud.

The Labor Department has halted processing of new and pending permanent labor certification applications tied to H-1B visa holders at Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Capgemini. Vice President JD Vance said the companies had abused the green-card system by under-advertising US jobs to justify hiring foreign workers instead, singling out Microsoft as the heaviest user of the process. Microsoft responded that most of its H-1B filings were extensions for existing staff rather than new hires, and that new-hire visas represent only 1 percent of its US workforce.
