The FDA Is Using an AI to "Speed Up" Drug Approvals and Insiders Say It's Making Horrible Mistakes

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-07 02:13:06

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Insiders at the Food and Drug Administration are ringing alarm bells over the agency's use of an AI to fast-track drug approvals. As CNN reports, six current and former FDA officials are warning that the AI, dubbed Elsa, which was unveiled weeks earlier, is "hallucinating" completely made-up studies. It's a terrifying reality that could, in a worst-case scenario, lead to potentially dangerous drugs mistakenly getting the stamp of approval from the FDA.

Android’s new ‘Expanded’ dark mode darkens apps without a dark theme — but there’s a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-07 02:11:48

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR For accessibility, Android will soon let you enable a dark theme in apps that don’t have one. A new “Expanded” dark mode option forces apps to go dark, but it may cause visual issues. This feature is live in the second Android Canary build, but its stable release date is unknown. If you tell people that you use light mode on your phone, some people will look at you like you’re crazy. That’s because many people prefer dark mode UIs because they’re general

Python classes aren’t always the best solution

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-06 23:41:09

Python is an incredibly versatile programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Among its features, the ability to use classes for object-oriented programming is both powerful and frequently recommended. However, classes aren’t always the best solution. In many cases, Python’s built-in types, functions, and standard library modules provide simpler, cleaner alternatives. Here are several scenarios where you might not need a Python class: Simple Data Containers: Use Named Tuples

Apple's iOS 18.6 will likely be released soon, ahead of its iOS 26 this fall, but the company's July 21 iOS 18.6 release candidate didn't change much on the iPhones of developers and beta testers. While iOS 26 will bring a major redesign to iPhones, the latest iOS 18.6 beta is filled with bug and security fixes, so developers and beta testers shouldn't expect new features.

Hackers—hope to defect to Russia? Don’t Google “defecting to Russia.”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-07 06:25:56

To the casual observer, cybercriminals can look like swashbuckling geniuses. They possess technical skills formidable enough to penetrate the networks of the biggest companies on the planet. They cover their tracks using technology that is arcane to most people—VPNs, encrypted chat apps, onion routing, aliases in dark web forums. They talk trash, extorting corporate ransoms in cryptocurrency, and they aim high, not flinching even at the prospect of stealing data on US presidential candidates.

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats.

Commerce Sec. Lutnick says TikTok will go dark if China won't agree to U.S. control of the social media app

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that TikTok will go dark for Americans unless China agrees to give the U.S. more control over the popular short-form video app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Thursday. TikTok's future in the U.S. has been uncertain since 2024, when Congress passed a bill that would ban the platform unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, dives
