A pesky air leak on the International Space Station (ISS) just won’t quit. Although the crew hoped they had sealed the last crack on the Russian module, long-term observations revealed that the ISS is still leaking air. During a recent press conference, a Roscosmos official told reporters that recent attempts to fix the leak have slowed down the rate of air leaving the space station but that it’s not yet completely sealed. “The leak is ongoing,” Russian news agency TASS reported. “We continue o

The sequel to ‘The Social Network’ may have just found its lead actors

techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2025-12-26 21:36:41

In Brief Over a decade after “The Social Network,” director Aaron Sorkin is reportedly working on a sequel, possibly with two leads in mind. While the 2010 original film focused on Mark Zuckerberg’s rise, “Social Network Part II” is said to draw from Jeff Horwitz’s “The Facebook Files,” which exposed Facebook’s harmful effects on teens and its role in spreading misinformation. According to Deadline, Jeremy Allen White from “The Bear” is being considered for the role of Horwitz, while Mikey Ma

This Week’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Is a Little Too Cute for Its Own Good

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-27 02:48:25

Strange New Worlds loves being Star Trek. That’s different from, say, Lower Decks, a series that loved being about Star Trek and the metatextual acknowledgement of that to the nerdiest of degrees. Strange New Worlds knows that it is Star Trek and enjoys that: its connection to the original, the warts-and-all embrace of episodic storytelling, its desire to poke and prod at itself endlessly, and its willingness to vacillate its tone from high drama to high camp on a dime. Sometimes, that can make

AI Researcher Declines $1 Billion Offer From Mark Zuckerberg

The FTC hoped to enforce the rule due to "increasing reports of consumers losing time and money from intentionally difficult subscription cancellation processes," lawmakers said. But cable companies sued to block the FTC rule last year, arguing that the FTC failed to conduct an economic impact study before making it easie

Is Mark Zuckerberg flip flopping on open source AI?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-27 03:13:10

Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg shared a rambling memo outlining his vision to build AI "superintelligence." In the memo, Zuckerberg hinted that the pursuit of more powerful AI might require the company to be more selective in what it open sources. Citing "safety concerns" he wrote that Meta would need to be "rigorous" about such decisions. The line stood out to many as Zuckerberg — who once said " fuck that " in reference to closed platforms — has made open source central to Meta's AI strategy.
