SAP Exec: Get Ready to Be Fired Because of AI

A key executive at Europe’s biggest software company is sending a clear message: your job can and will be done with AI. In a provocative interview with Business Insider, SAP chief finance officer Dominik Asam was asked if the goal of the company’s push to use AI coding tools was to produce more code with the same number of employees. That’s when he laid out the ruthless calculus. By using AI, “there’s more automation, simply,” Asam replied. “There are certain tasks which are automated and for

The Demon-Haunted World

1995 book by Carl Sagan The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark is a 1995 book by the astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan. (Four of the 25 chapters were written with Ann Druyan.[1]: x ) In it, Sagan aims to explain the scientific method to laypeople and to encourage people to learn critical and skeptical thinking. He explains methods to help distinguish between ideas that are considered valid science and those that can be considered pseudoscience. Sagan states that w

Broker-Side SQL Filtering with RabbitMQ Streams

RabbitMQ 4.2 introduces SQL filter expressions for streams, enabling powerful broker-side message filtering. In our benchmarks, combining SQL filters with Bloom filters achieved filtering rates of more than 4 million messages per second — in highly selective scenarios with high ingress rates. This means only the messages your consumers actually care about leave the broker, greatly reducing network traffic and client-side processing overhead. High-throughput event streams often deliver large vo

Oldest Shell Jewelry Workshop in Western Europe Dates Back 42,000 Years

Between 55,000 and 42,000 years ago, the Châtelperronian people lived in what is now modern-day France and northern Spain. Their tool industry is among the earliest known from this part of the world during the Upper Paleolithic, a time spanning 55,000 and 42,000 years ago. And as new research suggests, Châtelperronians also had a knack for shell-based jewelry. Researchers excavating at the Palaeolithic site of La Roche-à-Pierrot in Saint-Césaire on France’s Atlantic coast have discovered pigmen

China Finds Ingenious Solution for Its Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blades

Many wind turbine blades in China are approaching retirement, and researchers have come up with a creative way to reuse the giant components. In a study published earlier this summer in the journal International Soil and Water Conservation Research, scientists suggest repurposing decommissioned wind turbine blades in sand control measures. Namely, in sand barriers. The approach could be the solution to two problems: dealing with old blades and finding optimal sand control measures. “Wind turbi

150 million-year-old pterosaur cold case has finally been solved

One hundred and fifty million years ago, the Solnhofen Limestones of Germany were covered in small islands and warm saltwater lagoons. Coral reefs flourished with crinoids, sponges, jellyfish, and crustaceans; Dragonflies buzzed above the water as small reptiles sunned themselves at the water’s edge. Pterosaurs and Archaeopteryx took to the skies, but there was trouble in this Jurassic paradise: Tropical storms would turn it into a pterosaur graveyard. What paleontologist Rab Smyth found in thi

Wiz chief technologist Ami Luttwak on how AI is transforming cyberattacks

“One of the key things to understand about cybersecurity is that it’s a mind game,” Ami Luttwak, chief technologist at cybersecurity firm Wiz, told TechCrunch on a recent episode of Equity. “If there’s a new technology wave coming, there are new opportunities for [attackers] to start using it.” As enterprises rush to embed AI into their workflows — whether through vibe coding, AI agent integration, or new tooling — the attack surface is expanding. AI helps developers ship code faster, but that

Dismissed as a joke, UK's first rice crop ripe for picking after hot summer

"I'm actually amazed because they are big, happy, bushy plants," she says, warning me not to fall over when we step into the calf-deep water. She points out her favourites. "This is Estrella from Colombia, the best one so far," she says. "But I'm least impressed with this," she says, gesturing to a Japanese rice that has not flowered. This experiment is the brainchild of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH), in partnership with Craig and Sarah Taylor. Dozens of plants were planted

Day one iPhone 17, Pro, and Air accessories you need to try

It’s been about a week since the new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro lineup hit shelves, and now that the honeymoon phase is winding down, it’s time to think about the next step: accessories. There’s no shortage of options, from ultra-slim cases to rugged cases, MagSafe batteries to charging setups, and everything in between. I have tested dozens of these new accessories, and here are some of my early favorites and must-haves! Before we get into it, if you want to see a complete hands-

Thoughts on Cloudflare

Thoughts on its role and impact on the web’s landscape. As many of you know, I am skeptical of the concept of relying on someone else’s computer, especially when a service grows to the point where it becomes an oligopoly, or worse, a monopoly. Cloudflare is, in my view, on track to becoming precisely that. As a result, I would argue they are a net negative for the internet and society at large. Besides the frustration they cause to VPN and Tor users through incessant captchas, Cloudflare’s inf

Les på norsk. The Finnish Meteorological Institute is to discontinue its air monitoring in Svalbard, and on October 1st, the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) will take over ownership of its air sampling equipment. The purpose is to strengthen Norway's ability to monitor airborne radioactivity and increase vigilance in the High North. "This will be an important supplement to our already existing network of air filter stations in Norway, and particularly important for nucl

Google Messages is rethinking how link previews work, but we’re not sure it’s for the best

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google devs appear to be considering implementing some changes to how Messages displays link previews. Previews could drop the full URL, and might start omitting page descriptions. Messages may start coloring its previews to match page graphics. What do you think about before clicking on a link? Are you the sort of user who scrutinizes the URL, looking for any info that may help clarify what sort of content awaits on the other end? Do you just blindl

She spent 5 years covering tech policy at CNBC, writing about antitrust, privacy, and content moderation reform. On day three of the two-week remedies trial in the Justice Department’s ad tech case against Google, Judge Leonie Brinkema boiled down the argument to one key issue: trust. Brinkema interrupted testimony from a DOJ expert with a hypothetical: should she issue a strict order modifyi

5 reasons why Pixels will never outsell Samsung’s Galaxy phones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority In the tech community, Google’s Pixel and Samsung’s Galaxy phones generate a lot of buzz, creating the illusion that they are neck-and-neck competitors in the sales race. However, the reality couldn’t be more different. Samsung is the undisputed king of the global smartphone market, while Google doesn’t even crack the top five. For context, in the second quarter of 2025, Samsung shipped 58 million phones globally, 13.3 million of which were sold in the US. Du

Here’s the latest progress on how Google Messages @mentions are going to work

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Messages has been working on a system to let you @mention other users in chats. Users who are mentioned in such a manner should see an @ symbol next to the chat. Messages may automatically suggest an @mention when you start typing someone’s name. Being able to get someone’s attention by sending them an @username just feels incredibly natural to so many of us after years and years of these kind of interactions across social media.

EA reportedly plans to go private with help from Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia

Electronic Arts is close to reaching a $50 billion deal that will turn it into a privately held company, according to The Wall Street Journal. The video game company filed for an IPO way back in 1990 and has been public ever since, but now a group of investors are in talks with the company to take it private. Those investors reportedly include private equity firm Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, whose largest source of funding is als

NASA Couldn’t Get Its Rover to the Moon, So Blue Origin Will Do It Instead

NASA’s water-hunting lunar rover was given a second chance to reach the surface of the Moon. Blue Origin will deliver VIPER to the Moon on an upcoming lunar lander mission, resurrecting the exploration mission after it was called off last year. NASA contracted Blue Origin to transport its lunar rover to the Moon as part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services. The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, was originally set to launch in 2023 but faced several delays u

The current war on science, and who’s behind it

We’re about a quarter of the way through the 21st century. Summers across the global north are now defined by flash floods, droughts, heat waves, uncontainable wildfires, and intensifying named storms, exactly as predicted by Exxon scientists back in the 1970s. The United States secretary of health and human services advocates against using the most effective tool we have to fight the infectious diseases that have ravaged humanity for millennia. People are eagerly lapping up the misinformation

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE Review: Better AirPods for Android

I’ve been very impressed with Samsung’s third-gen wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro ($190), which were released in 2024, were a solid AirPods Pro competitor for Android owners. Now, they’ve been joined by the Galaxy Buds3 FE, a new entry-level model that looks nearly identical to the Buds3 Pro but trades away a lot of bells and whistles for a more accessible price: $150. The Pro’s high-tech LED “blade” lights are gone, as is head tracking, auto-pause, dual drivers, wireless charging, and f

When this EV maker collapsed, its customers became the car company

Cristian Fleming paid around $70,000 for his dream car, a Fisker Ocean. He was drawn to the new EV’s 350-mile range, eco-friendly image, and quirky features like “California Modes,” which rolls down nearly every window at once. “I’ve always bought my cars because I love the way they look,” Fleming says. “That’s probably my first mistake.” But his joy soon turned sour. In June 2024, seven months after Fleming’s purchase, Fisker collapsed into bankruptcy, having only delivered 11,000 vehicles.
