Big Brother at the Border Is Searching for a ‘Hidden Language’ in People’s Text Messages

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-08-31 18:20:00

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has a bad snooping habit, and it’s looking for a little help to get its fix. According to a report from Wired, the agency is currently asking tech companies to pitch it ideas for a digital forensics tool that would allow it to process and analyze data from seized phones and computers and potentially uncover “hidden” patterns. In a federal registry listing from June, CBP said it is seeking a tool that can scan text messages, pictures, videos, con

I Brought My Dad Back to Life With This Phone. I Don't Know How to Feel

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-01 06:00:08

My dad died just after my fourth birthday in 1992. Being so young, I have few memories of him and my family has only a small handful of home movie clips, filmed in the brief window before he died. But I do have a selection of still pictures and in my testing of a new phone, the Honor 400 Pro, I found I was able to bring him to life using AI. Honestly? I really don't know how to feel about it.

How AI on Microcontrollers Works: Operators and Kernels

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Mangum 2025-08-28 16:53:11

The buzz around “edge AI”, which means something slightly different to almost everyone you talk to, is well past reaching a fever pitch. Regardless of what edge AI means to you, the one commonality is typically that the hardware on which inference is being performed is constrained in one or more dimensions, whether it be compute, memory, or network bandwidth. Perhaps the most constrained of these platforms are microcontrollers. I have found that, while there is much discourse around “running AI

How often is the query plan optimal?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-28 19:19:27

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often. Consider the following chart, with durations of a simple SELECT query with a range condition. The condition is varied to match different fracti

Trump Expects Paramount to Run Conservative PSAs Following Hush Money Payments

Paramount is learning the hard way why you don’t simply acquiesce to bullies. Earlier this week, the company came to a preliminary settlement agreement with Donald Trump in a case where the President accused the company of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris in 2024. That settlement (which has been described by some as “bribery” with intent to get Trump to green light Paramount’s attempted merger with Skydance Media) pays Trump $16 million.
