Apple’s machine learning framework is getting support for NVIDIA’s CUDA platform

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why. The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch. The backend is still a work in progress, but several core operations, like matrix multiplication, softmax, reduc

Before iOS 26, Apple Will Release at Least One More iOS 18 Update Soon

Before Apple releases iOS 26 this fall, the company will likely release iOS 18.6 in the next few weeks. The company released the third public beta of the software on July 15, but it didn't change much on the iPhones of developers and beta testers. While iOS 26 will bring a major redesign to iPhones, the latest beta is filled with bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers shouldn't expect new features.

Medieval preacher invoked chivalric hero as a meme in sermon

Medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer twice made references to an early work featuring a Germanic mythological character named Wade. Only three lines survive, discovered buried in a sermon by a late 19th century scholar. There has been much debate over how to translate those fragments ever since, and whether the long-lost work was a monster-filled epic or a chivalric romance. Two Cambridge University scholars now say those lines have been "radically misunderstood" for 130 years, supplying their own tra

Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Bust

The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust. In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks, down a staggering 50.8% from the 8,755 units it delivered during the same period last year, according to new data from Kelley Blue Book. This plunge is a signal that America’s most hyped truck may already be out of gas. When the Cybertruck was first revealed in November 2019, Elon Musk called it a “bette

Metadata Shows That Critical Minutes Were Deleted From the Epstein Video

Try as he might, President Donald Trump is failing miserably to get the world to move on from the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein crisis. Trump's loyal fan base devolved into a cesspool of conspiracy theories after the White House walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, concluding that Epstein had no "client list" and that the sex criminal had killed himself in jail, rather than being killed to keep him silent. In a wildly backfired attempt to sweep the affair under the rug

Encrypting files with passkeys and age

It runs with Node.js, Deno, Bun, and browsers, and implements native age recipients, passphrase encryption, ASCII armoring, and supports custom recipient interfaces, like the Go implementation. However, running in the browser affords us some special capabilities, such as access to the WebAuthn API. Since version 0.2.3, Typage supports symmetric encryption with passkeys and other WebAuthn credential

Data Centers Are 'AI Factories.' Google and Meta Are Spending Big Bucks to Build Them

How to choose which Apple Watch to buy

Then, a more affordable Watch SE (now in its second generation) and, in 2022, the rugged Apple Watch Ultra (also now in its second generation). Suddenly, there

AI coding tools are shifting to a surprising place: The terminal

For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software. Instead of working on code, they’re increasingly interacting directly with the shell of whatever system they’re installed in. It’s a significant change in how AI-powered software development happens — and despite the low profil

Still, don’t expect to see anything that would make Trump look bad. Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday and was asked

The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected.

T-Mobile’s US Cellular acquistion has been approved: What happened, and what’s next?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The DOJ and FCC have both approved T-Mobile’s $4.4 billion acquisition of most of US Cellular, with no major conditions or safeguards imposed. T-Mobile will gain US Cellular’s customers, stores, and spectrum, while US Cellular will keep its towers and focus on leasing them out. Critics worry the merger could reduce competition, especially in rural areas, but US Cellular customers shouldn’t see immediate changes at least. Last year, T-Mobile announced plan

Automatic volume adjustment is watchOS 26’s solution for obtrusive alerts I’ve used an Apple Watch since its 2015 launch, and during that decade, I’ve had Silent Mode enabled the whole time.
