I built this guide because I could never quite wrap my head around Makefiles. They seemed awash with hidden rules and esoteric symbols, and asking simple questions didn’t yield simple answers. To solve this, I sat down for several weekends and read everything I could about Makefiles. I've condensed the most critical knowledge into this guide. Each topic has a brief description and a self contained example that you can run yourself. If you mostly understand Make, consider checking out the Makefi

Whistleblower warning: 2FA codes sent via SMS are trivially easy to intercept

techspot.com Shawn Knight 2026-03-08 08:12:00

Weak Link: Two-factor authentication is designed to harden device security and make unauthorized access even trickier for bad actors. In the imperfect world we live in, however, there's almost always a weak link, and one popular delivery method for 2FA is no exception. Many implementations of two-factor authentication involve sending a one-time passcode to the end user via SMS. Once entered, the user is logged in and it's business as usual. The problem is the inherent weakness of SMS, and the f

At the Meta Connect developer conference, Mark Zuckerberg, head of the Facebook group Meta, shows the prototype of computer glasses that can display digital objects in transparent lenses. When Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg poached Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang last week as part of a $14.3 billion investment in the artificial intelligence startup, he was apparently just getting started.

Munich from a Hamburger's perspective

Over the long weekend, thanks to Whit Monday being a public holiday in Germany, I decided to visit a friend who lives in Munich. I spent about three and a half days there and thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts. I saw a lot during my stay, and since I live in Hamburg, I naturally started comparing the two cities. There are quite a few differences.

Every fusion startup that has raised over $100M

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-11 09:39:01

Over the last several years, fusion power has gone from the butt of jokes — always a decade away! — to an increasingly tangible and tantalizing technology that has drawn investors off the sidelines. The technology may be challenging to master and expensive to build today, but fusion promises to harness the nuclear reaction that powers the sun to generate nearly limitless energy here on Earth. If startups are able to complete commercially viable fusion power plants, then they have the potential

Archaeologists Unearth Viking-Era Burial With Incredibly Rare Casket

Archaeologists from Denmark’s Moesgaard Museum have uncovered 30 Viking Age graves dating from 800 to 1050 CE, just under five miles north of Aarhus. Located near the town of Lisbjerg, the burial site has yielded a number of spectacular objects hinting at ties with Danish royalty. “The burial site is most likely connected to the Viking-era manor in Lisbjerg, which is less than a kilometer from the burial site,” Mads Ravn, an archaeologist from Moesgaard and Viking Age expert, explained in the M

Inside the US power struggle over coal

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2026-03-12 05:00:00

But the Trump administration wants to keep coal power alive, and the US Department of Energy recently ordered some plants to stay open past their scheduled closures. Here’s why there’s a power struggle over coal. Coal used to be king in the US, but the country has dramatically reduced its dependence on the fuel over the past two decades. It accounted for about 20% of the electricity generated in 2024, down from roughly half in 2000. While the demise of coal has been great for US emissions, the

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds. Queries made to some models generate up to 50 times more carbon emissions than others, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Communication. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly,

Conserving Qubits by Using Dissipative VQAs for Thermal Prep

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) play a significant role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of quantum computers. However, they come with high noise levels, which degrade their performance. Even though current techniques can mitigate their noise, they involve excessive computational overhead, which limits their feasibility.

The feel of latex can be hard to pinpoint, as I’ve heard it compared to everything from a thicker yoga mat or trampoline to even a waterbed. The fact of the matter is that latex has cushioning, pressure relief, and a bouncy feel.
