Trump's willingness to let TikTok go dark motivated China to make deal, Bessent says

cnbc.com Chris Eudaily 2025-09-25 06:19:31

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday that President Donald Trump was willing to let TikTok go dark, and it was "what turned the tide" in the deal framework with China. "President Trump made it clear that he would have been willing to let Tiktok go dark, that we were not going to give up national security in favor of the deal," Bessent told CNBC's "Squawk Box." TikTok parent company ByteDance is still looking at a Sept. 17 deadline to divest the app's U.S. operations or potentially be

De-risking investment in AI agents

technologyreview.com Mit Technology Review Insights 2025-09-25 07:00:00

For businesses, the potential is transformative: AI agents that can handle complex service interactions, support employees in real time, and scale seamlessly as customer demands shift. But the move from scripted, deterministic flows to non-deterministic, generative systems brings new challenges. How can you test something that doesn’t always respond the same way twice? How can you balance safety and flexibility when giving an AI system access to core infrastructure? And how can you manage cost,

The US version of TikTok might still use the Chinese algorithm

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-25 06:00:46

A potential TikTok deal emerged Monday between the US and China, two days before the Trump administration's latest sell or be banned deadline. Now, attention is shifting to the app's Chinese algorithm, with the Financial Times reporting it will be used in the US version. Wang Jingtao, deputy director of the China's national internet regulator, told reporters that the deal included "licensing the algorithm and other intellectual property rights."

Ask HN: Generalists, when do you say "I know enough" about any particular topic?

The idea is generalists know a lot about everything and when to pass it off to a subject matter expert. In 2025, with everything in tech changing by the minute, I’m realizing I need to set boundaries about how deep I go on any particular topic. But I’m unsure how. Particularly if I don’t want to get left behind as things continue to evolve. Curious how other folks approach this?

Scientists uncover extreme life inside the Arctic ice

In brief Researchers studied single-celled algae, called diatoms, from the Arctic that were previously assumed to be hibernating in the ice and found they were actually quite active. This activity, which continued when temperatures dropped to -15 C, is the coldest-ever movement recorded for a eukaryotic cell. The diatoms move through a type of gliding, which is enabled by a combination of mucus and molecular motors that are similar to systems seen in human muscles. Given how abundant these di

Apple’s third-gen pro earbuds make a very strong case for upgrading. Alongside all those iPhones and Watches, Apple revealed the AirPods Pro 3, packing in major new features, like live translation and heart-rate sensing, all while tangibly boosting active noise cancellation (ANC). Those ANC upgrades? Ultra-low-noise microphones combine with advanced computational audio to silence even more noise, while new foam-infused ear tips play a major role here too, since they offer increased passive nois

Automating Distro Updates in CI

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate
