OpenAI’s open language model is imminent

Microsoft’s complicated relationship with OpenAI is about to take an interesting turn. As the pair continue to renegotiate a contract to allow OpenAI to restructure into a for-profit company, OpenAI is preparing to release an open language AI model that could drive even more of a wedge between the two companies. Sources familiar with OpenAI’s plans tell me that CEO Sam Altman’s AI lab is readying an open-weight model that will debut as soon as next week with providers other than just OpenAI and

Poll: Does your Pixel phone also miss alarms?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel phone users are experiencing a recurring bug in which their alarms fail to go off for an “unknown reason.” This alarm bug has been reported on Pixel phones since at least 2021, and Google has reportedly been unable to replicate or fix it. As a workaround, users can use alternative alarm apps, or even physical alarm clocks. Over the weekend, frustrated users took to Reddit to complain about their Pixel phones’ missing alarms. The screenshot shared

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place. Update: Following a court challenge, the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the rule. See update at the end … Both laws were introduced in response to sketchy practices by companies designed to make it as dif

Proposal: GUI-first, text-based mechanical CAD inspired by software engineering

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =

Why I don't ride the AI Hype Train

ChatGPT quickly became one of the fastest-growing products ever, reaching 100 million users in 2 months. Like past trends, it also brought a lot of debate and strong opinions. I’ve used ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), and I’ve even

There are many key factors we look at when helping you decide on a Dyson vacuum. Here are some of the ones we use to weigh scoring. Sarah Tew/CNET Cordless vs. corded Cordless Dyson models (V-series, Gen5) prioritize portability for quick cleanups and multi-level homes but are limited by battery life.

China Has Attempted What Might Be the First-Ever Orbital Refueling of a Satellite

Two Chinese satellites have rendezvoused with one another more than 20,000 miles above the Earth in what analysts believe is the first high-altitude attempt at orbital refueling. China’s Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 satellites, known as SJ-21 and SJ-25 for short, likely docked together in geosynchronous orbit sometime last week. This is the conclusion of multiple civilian satellite trackers using open source imagery showing the two satellites coming together, then becoming indistinguishable as a s

Scientists Discover Secret Weapon That Allows Pythons to Digest Bones

Pythons are notorious for their eating habits. After suffocating their prey with their lithe bodies, these large snakes swallow the animal whole.
