In this article TXN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT When Texas Instruments announced a $60 billion manufacturing megaproject in July, it was a bold bet that companies would want to mass produce foundational microchips on U.S. soil. In August, Apple vowed to do just that.

ChatGPT-5 Impressions: Fast, but a Bit Impersonal

ChatGPT-5 likes getting straight to the point. For some, that's a reprieve from its chattier predecessor, GPT-4o. For others, something will certainly seem off. Despite the hype leading up to OpenAI's launch of GPT-5, it ultimately doesn't feel too different from 4o. The quality of responses in my ongoing testing seems to be at the level of past models, including the o3 "reasoning" model. The major difference is that some responses generate very quickly in relatively few words, while others ca

Apple might release a cheaper MacBook soon, but you shouldn’t wait for it

Last month, we heard some news from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo about Apple entering a new segment of the laptop market. The company is reportedly working on a new MacBook at a lower starting price point than the MacBook Air, and it’ll apparently pack the A18 Pro chip found in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While a cheaper MacBook is certainly a welcome add, the question truly stands: will Apple do it properly, or will it serve as another decoy model? Rumor refresh To quickly recap, the cheape

Scientists Have Identified the Origin of an Extraordinarily Powerful Outer Space Radio Wave

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-06 21:49:17

The Earth is constantly receiving space signals that contain vital information about extremely energetic phenomena. Among the most peculiar are brief pulses of extremely high-energy radio waves, known as fast radio bursts (FRB). Astronomers compare them to a powerful lighthouse that shines for milliseconds in the middle of a rough, distant sea. Detecting one of these signals is an achievement in itself, but identifying its origin and understanding the nature of its source remains one of the grea

AI Experts No Longer Saving for Retirement Because They Assume AI Will Kill Us All by Then

The meteoric rise of artificial intelligence has instilled an existential fear in "AI doomers," a subset of people who believe the tech will cause humans to lose their jobs, fall prey to a dominating species of rogue superintelligent AIs, and even eventually get wiped out altogether. And, as The Atlantic reports, some are taking that pervasive fear to striking extremes in their daily lives.

Florida Schools Deploying Armed Drones to Battle School Shooters

There's no need to fear, for emergency drone swarms are here. To combat school shootings, three districts in Florida are set to trial a drone response system that's designed to subdue an assailant and buy time before law enforcement can arrive at the scene, Newsweek reports. It sounds like something you'd see in a satirical ad in a "Robocop" movie, but no — it's real.

An inner-speech decoder reveals some mental privacy issues

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-06 14:00:57

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle actions that produce it. A patient has to physically attempt to speak to make these implants work, which is tiresome for severely paralyzed people. To go around it, researchers at the Stanford University built a BCI that could decode inner speech—the kind we engage in silent reading and use for al

Researchers at Occidental College and the University of California, Irvine, created the technique, which aims to temporarily make the cornea malleable.
