OpenAI could rival Google Shopping with ChatGPT Shop

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-30 08:25:28

AI companies like OpenAI and Perplexity like to be the "everything company," and OpenAI's latest ChatGPT feature, "Shopping," makes that obvious. Financial Times recently reported that ChatGPT is testing a new shopping feature where you could buy products directly from the app. When ChatGPT 'converts' sales for merchants, OpenAI gets a percentage of the revenue. This is similar to the existing affiliate program for publishers. FT reports that OpenAI could partner with Shopify to integrate th

OpenAI prepares GPT-5 for roll out

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-30 08:43:15

OpenAI's ChatGPT-5 could drop in the coming days, and it could be one of the best models from the Microsoft-backed startup. As The Verge's Tom Warren first reported, GPT-5 is being prepared for an August release. GPT-5 is believed to be the "unified" model, which means it combines the breakthroughs from the reasoning and multi-modal models, such as o3 and 4o respectively. ChatGPT currently has too many capable models for different tasks. While the models are powerful, it can be confusing beca

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-30 08:08:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux.

In my opinion, one of the best critiques of modern AI design comes from a 1992 talk by the researcher Mark Weiser where he ranted against “copilot” as a metaphor for AI. This was 33 years ago, but it’s still incredibly relevant for anyone designing with AI. Weiser’s rant Weiser was speaking at an MIT Media Lab event on “interface agents”.

Now, an exhaustive analysis of how proteins change over time in different organs backs up that idea, finding that people experience an inflection point at around 50 years old, after which ageing seems to accelerate.

Today, we typically think of coalitions in the context of modern electoral politics.

Starting as individual traveling traders, the Hansa built up coalitions for collective bargaining, collective action, and collective security.

In sledgehammer every operation is encoded as a sequence of bytes packed into an array. Every operation takes 1 byte plus whatever data is required for it. Each operation is encoded in a batch of four as a u32. Getting a number from an array buffer has a high constant cost, but getting a u32 instead of a u8 is not more expensive. Sledgehammer bindgen reads the u32 and then splits it into the 4 individual bytes. It will shuffle and pack the bytes into as few buckets as possible and try to inline
