I loved Arc browser and was skeptical of its agentic Dia replacement - until I tried it

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-17 17:20:05

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When The Browser Company announced they were ending Arc and developing an agentic browser that could leverage AI in ways other browsers were not, I was skeptical. I was starting to see the value in AI, but using it in such a way seemed like just another crutch for users to lean on -- so they didn't have to take the time to do those things themselves. I also saw it as a possible security and privacy issue. Also: Love Arc browser? You can get early acc

AirPods Pro 3 are in active development, and even though the release timing is still unclear, there’s been one rumored feature in particular that I’m especially excited about: improved active noise cancellation.

Shellter Project, the vendor of a commercial AV/EDR evasion loader for penetration testing, confirmed that hackers used its Shellter Elite product in attacks after a customer leaked a copy of the software.

The Stop Killing Games initiative has hit a major milestone, but the fight's just begun

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-17 07:04:31

A petition to preserve video game access recently achieved an important milestone of one million signatures, but it has two more challenges to overcome before reaching the final level. The "Stop Killing Games" movement reached a million votes earlier this month, meaning the European Union will have to consider adopting legislation addressing this issue. However, the petition first has to deal with the threat of potentially fake signatures and the resistance from major game studios and publishers

How Let's Encrypt made the internet safer and HTTPS standard - and free

KTSDESIGN/Getty Images In 1996, I registered my first website, Vaughan-Nichols & Associates. After setting up the site, one of the first things I did was to secure connections with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate. The then-new security network protocol provided an encrypted connection and a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity. SSL was then, and is now, the minimum security a safe website should provide to its users. The protocol was also a major pain to set up

New quantum paradox clarifies where our views of reality go wrong (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Anil Ananthaswamy 2025-09-18 00:43:16

That quantum mechanics is a successful theory is not in dispute. It makes astonishingly accurate predictions about the nature of the world at microscopic scales. What has been in dispute for nearly a century is just what it’s telling us about what exists, what is real. There are myriad interpretations that offer their own take on the question, each requiring us to buy into certain as-yet-unverified claims — hence assumptions — about the nature of reality.

The Download: China’s winning at advanced manufacturing, and a potential TikTok sale

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-09-18 05:10:00

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011.

Apple appeals the EU's anti-steering fine

Apple doesn’t want to fork over half a billion euros to the EU. The tech giant is officially appealing a €500 million ($587 million) fine brought by the European Commission in April, 9To5Mac reports. The Commission fined both Apple and Meta earlier this year for violating the Digital Markets Act through anti-competitive activities. In Apple's case, the Commission found that the company stopped developers from providing customers with information about sales and offers outside of the App Store.

In Brief Apple on Monday filed an appeal against the EU’s decision to fine the company €500 million (about $580 million) for not complying with rules that mandate companies to let developers steer users outside the App Store for making purchases, according to multiple reports.

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest.

Finally, after several failed attempts, I found a way to construct a counterexample [a case that does not satisfy the studied property and therefore proves it is not universally true].” Ciaro says it required
