Say Goodbye to Spam Calls With Call Screening in iOS 26

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-13 22:00:03

Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24. The beta brought a handful of new features, like a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to change your alarm's snooze length, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. It also gave developers and beta testers the ability to screen incoming unknown calls, that way spam callers don't bother you as much. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26 compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, will get this featur

Introduction to Unikernel: Building, deploying lightweight, secure applications

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have everything in the world just for yourself — where every resource and every service is just for you? Imagine you have rented a private villa on a small, quiet island. Everything in the villa — the rooms, the pool, and the beach — is just for you. No other guests can use anything there, and the staff are there just for you. Isn’t that exciting? I’m sure it is!

Anthropic wants to stop AI models from turning evil - here's how

zdnet.com Radhika Rajkumar 2025-12-14 22:30:28

Lyudmila Lucienne/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways New research from Anthropic identifies model characteristics, called persona vectors. This helps catch bad behavior without impacting performance. Still, developers don't know enough about why models hallucinate and behave in evil ways. Why do models hallucinate, make violent suggestions, or overly agree with users? Generally, researchers don't really know. But Anthropic just found new insights that could help stop this behavior before it happen

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it's making us work harder

A note: This is a different kind of post than I usually send from After Burnout. Instead of something raw, short, and personal, this is more of a deep-dive article. But given how much this topic connects to burnout and our relationship with productivity tools, it felt important to share. We were promised a productivity revolution.

These protocols will help AI agents navigate our messy lives

What should these protocols say about security? Researchers and developers still don’t really understand how AI models work, and new vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time. For chatbot-style AI applications, malicious attacks can cause models to do all sorts of bad things, including regurgitating training data and spouting slurs. But for AI agents, which interact with the world on someone’s behalf, the possibilities are far riskier. For example, one AI agent, made to read and send e
