cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-29 03:54:00

As talks about TikTok's fate in the US pushed up against an imminent deadline, President Donald Trump has moved the target date yet again. On Tuesday, the White House issued an executive order titled "Further Extending the TikTok Enforcement Ban" that sets a new deadline of Dec. 16. Until that date, the Justice Department is directed not to enforce a law that could have shut down the wildly popular social media app in the US. That delay comes amid reports that the US and Chinese governments ha

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-29 04:24:22

TikTok will not shut down on Wednesday, as President Donald Trump inches nearer to closing a deal with China that will most likely see the app's majority ownership shift to US owners and US-based users shift to a new app. On Tuesday, Trump confirmed that he has extended the deadline to December 16 for TikTok owner ByteDance to divest ownership to comply with a law designed to block China from spying on US users or manipulating TikTok's algorithm to influence Americans.

Since pre-orders opened last Friday, most iPhones have slipped to a 2–3 or 3–4 week delivery forecast, except for the iPhone Air, which remains available on launch day in every configuration but one. A bit of context Earlier this year, The Information reported that, due to demand uncertainty for what turned out to be the iPhone Air, Apple was dedicating just 10% of iPhone manufacturing capacity to this model.

Less than a week after Bloomberg published a damning report about Tesla's "dangerous doors," the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now looking into it. On Tuesday, the regulator said it opened an investigation into the automaker's electrically powered doors. The problem: They stop working if the vehicle's low-voltage battery fails.

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-09-29 01:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, researchers describe how they created “lab quakes,” or miniature versions of natural earthquakes created in a controlled laboratory.
