Trump, who promised to save TikTok, threatens to shut down TikTok

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-26 11:37:24

Donald Trump vowed to save TikTok before taking office, claiming only he could make a deal to keep the app operational in the US despite national security concerns. But then, he put Vice President JD Vance in charge of the deal, and after months of negotiations, the US still doesn't seem to have found terms for a sale that the Chinese government is willing to approve. Now, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed that if China won't approve the latest version of the deal—which coul

Major quantum computing advance made obsolete by teenager (2018)

A teenager from Texas has taken quantum computing down a notch. In a paper posted online earlier this month, 18-year-old Ewin Tang proved that ordinary computers can solve an important computing problem with performance potentially comparable to that of a quantum computer. In its most practical form, the “recommendation problem” relates to how services like Amazon and Netflix determine which products you might like to try.

Elon Musk’s X Says ‘Nope’ to French Authorities Trying to Access Its Algorithm

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-01-03 23:55:20

Onlookers have long suspected that Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) has a right-wing bias embedded in its digital DNA, and, in January of this year, cybercrime authorities in France took it upon themselves to uncover whether this was true or not. The investigation has sought to determine whether the site is guilty of algorithmically manipulating the visibility of content on its website. NBC reports that, earlier this month, the probe was transferred to a “key unit of France’s national police.” N

Astronomers Spot Companion Star in Orbit Around Iconic Star Betelgeuse, Confirming Suspicions

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-05 04:50:48

In 2024, astronomers surmised that Betelgeuse might have a stellar “buddy.” If this hypothetical companion existed, it would help answer some questions about the red supergiant’s strange glowing patterns. As it turns out, these suspicions were correct. After numerous false signals and empty search results, astronomers with NASA’s Ames Research Center have confirmed that Betelgeuse does, in fact, have a tiny buddy star. The young star, with a mass about 1.5 times that of the Sun, likely exerts s

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs.
