zdnet.com Cesar Cadenas 2026-02-07 08:00:17

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Apple could be developing a new budget-friendly MacBook for around $599. Rumors state it would house an A18 Pro chipset -- the processor found in the iPhone 16 Pro. Despite corroboration by industry experts, information is speculative. About a month ago, rumors starting surfacing that Apple was developing a lightweight MacBook that runs on iPhone hardware.

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Wu 2026-02-07 00:11:50

Illinois last week banned the use of artificial intelligence in mental health therapy, joining a small group of states regulating the emerging use of AI-powered chatbots for emotional support and advice. Licensed therapists in Illinois are now forbidden from using AI to make treatment decisions or communicate with clients, though they can still use AI for administrative tasks. Companies are also not allowed to offer AI-powered therapy services — or advertise chatbots as therapy tools — without t

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

news.ycombinator.com Dries Buytaert 2026-02-07 09:24:17

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial. Many feared money would corrupt the spirit of volunt

Ever since artist James Sanborn unveiled Kryptos, an outdoor sculpture that sits at CIA headquarters, amateur and professional cryptanalysts have been feverishly attempting to crack the code hidden in its nearly 1800-character message. While they have decoded 3 of the 4 panels of ciphertext in the S-shaped copper artwork, the final panel, known as K4, still defies solution.
