The Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation have launched a trial of a new AI system called Strategic Management of Airspace Routes and Trajectories, or SMART, at Reagan National, Dulles International and BWI Thurgood Marshall airports. The $875 million system pulls together roughly 200 data streams covering flight paths, weather and staffing to predict delays and cancellations and suggest actions to controllers, who retain final decision-making authority.
Bentley revealed the Torcal, its fourth model line and first all-electric vehicle, offering up to 375 miles of WLTP range and 16-minute 10-80% fast charging at 400kW.

A blog post walks through configuring swap on NixOS for desktops and laptops that use suspend-then-hibernate, contrasting swap partitions with swap files. It notes that swap files complicate hibernation because initramfs must locate the swap space before file systems mount, requiring an EFI variable to record the location at hibernation time. The author shares working configurations: a simple swap partition on a desktop, and a LUKS-encrypted btrfs swap file on a laptop using the disko luks-btrfs-subvolumes template.
Anthropic announced a new life sciences research group that uses its Claude AI model to analyze DNA datasets, identify uncharacterized protein families, and generate testable hypotheses. The company reported an early result in which Claude, given only high-level guidance from scientists, identified a previously unknown enzyme system with features resembling CRISPR, which was then validated through lab experiments.
Disney is increasing prices across its Disney+ and Hulu streaming plans, with the ad-free bundle rising from $19.99 to $21.99 a month and stand-alone ad-free plans climbing to $21.49. Ad-supported stand-alone plans will also rise, to $12.49 a month, according to Disney's support page as first reported by Bloomberg.

Apple TV+ is adding several new titles in October, led by documentary film 'The Last First: Winter K2' from director Amir Bar-Lev, premiering October 2 alongside the second season of kids series 'The Sisters Grimm.' Comedy series 'Small Prophets,' starring Pearce Quigley and Michael Palin, follows on October 7.
Father Paolo Benanti, who advises the Catholic Church on artificial intelligence, told WIRED that leading AI labs are shaping safety debates in ways that exclude outside voices. He argued that ethics and regulation should be decided through public, democratic debate rather than dictated by the companies building the technology.
Raymond Chen recounts that Windows 7 added a right-click context menu to the classic vertical scroll bar, including a 'Scroll Here' option letting users jump directly to a clicked position instead of dragging the thumb. A lesser-known companion shortcut, holding Shift while clicking the scroll bar, does the same thing. He notes that most modern app frameworks have replaced native Win32 scroll bars with custom ones that only partially preserve these features: Chromium-based apps support Shift+click but not the context menu, WPF supports both, and WinUI supports neither.
A first trailer has been released for 'Beware Boiúna,' a horror film set in the Amazon that stars Kiana Madeira and Jessica Rothe. The story centers on a giant snake threatening characters in the jungle setting.
New research finds that 178 major fossil fuel companies have already released enough greenhouse gases to continue raising global temperatures for centuries, even if all of them halted emissions immediately. The study attributes this locked-in warming to carbon already emitted and persisting in the atmosphere, rather than to any future activity.
Scientists analyzing a rock retrieved from the Moon's far side say it shows signs consistent with an ancient magnetic field, according to researchers studying the sample. The finding feeds into a long-running scientific debate over whether the Moon once generated its own magnetism before losing it.
