macOS Tahoe Incompatible with Mac Studio M3 Ultra

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-26 06:38:01

If you have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra and want to upgrade it to run macOS 26.0 Tahoe, then I’m afraid you’re going to have wait for Apple to build a new release that will install on your Mac. I’m very grateful to Ken who has tried unsuccessfully to upgrade from 15.7 to 26.0. There are plenty of others reporting exactly the same: the upgrade goes well until towards the end, then aborts and the Mac is restarted back into 15.7. The problem seems to originate from an error in its neural engine driver.

White House officials reportedly frustrated by Anthropic’s law enforcement AI limits

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-26 06:03:11

Anthropic's AI models could potentially help spies analyze classified documents, but the company draws the line at domestic surveillance. That restriction is reportedly making the Trump administration angry. On Tuesday, Semafor reported that Anthropic faces growing hostility from the Trump administration over the AI company's restrictions on law enforcement uses of its Claude models.

You can hold on to your butts thanks to DNA that evolved in fish

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-26 06:19:24

Evolution has adapted the digits of mammals for an enormous range of uses, from our opposable thumbs to the spindly digits that support bat wings to the robust bones that support the hoofs of horses. But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins. Despite this uncertainty, we have identified some ge

The Sun — usually so predictable — is exhibiting some surprising behavior and that has scientists very intrigued.
