Ethereum turns 10: From scrappy experiment to Wall Street’s invisible backbone

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2026-02-13 12:08:31

watch now CANNES — Ten years ago, Vitalik Buterin and a small band of developers huddled in a drafty Berlin loft strung with dangling lightbulbs, laptops balanced on mismatched chairs and chipped tables. They weren't corporate titans or venture-backed founders — just idealists working long nights to push a radical idea into reality. From that sparse office, they launched "Frontier," Ethereum 's first live network. It was bare-bones — no interface, no polish, nothing user-friendly. But it could

We Must Admit That This Video of Two Small Robots Punching Each Other With Boxing Gloves Is Pretty Awesome

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-13 09:45:15

These days, robots with varying degrees of impressiveness can manage all kinds of tasks. But two diminutive humanoids seen boxing with outsize gloves at the recent World AI Conference in Shanghai may take the cake. In a video posted to X, AI security researcher Helen Toner — who was, it should be noted, a driving force behind the ultimately failed coup against CEO Sam Altman back in November 2023 — showed off the boxing ring prowess of two short-statured robots from the Chinese company Unitree.

Review: ShiftCam’s Fisheye lens is a fun way to capture wider shots on your iPhone

The iPhone is capable of capturing plenty of varying scenes, and has been for many years. Ever since iPhone 11 Pro, we’ve had a triple camera array, allowing for ultrawide, wide, and telephoto shots. Despite this, many companies still offer third party lens solutions for your iPhone, allowing you to capture even more with your iPhone. ShiftCam is one of those companies, and today I’ll be reviewing their LensUltra Fisheye lens. It’s like an Ultrawide, but with a bit more perspective. Overview

Scientists are sending several strains of disease-causing bacteria to the International Space Station as part of the Crew-11 mission. This experiment isn't the plot to some cheesy horror film, but a scientific investigation from the Sheba Medical Center in Israel and the US-based company Space Tango with the goal of better understanding how bacteria spread and behave under extreme conditions.

A dive into open chat protocols

A dive into open chat protocols I’m between projects right now, so as is my idiom I’m going to take some random topic that has caught me on a manic swing in my little bipolar life, and dive deeper into it for a few days. One of the low-key topics in the back of my mind is that “the world needs an open chat protocol that doesn’t suck”, and something made me start thinking seriously about XMPP again for the first time in a decade. I used XMPP myself a fair amount in its little Golden Age of the e

Interview Launched in 1992, the boxy black ThinkPad with its little red nub remains the quintessential business productivity notebook. Unlike commercial offerings from competitors such as Dell and HP, Lenovo's laptop has a following of people who collect old models and celebrate each new innovation. If you bought a ThinkPad between 1995 and 2017, it was probably designed under the oversight of David W. Hill, who served as lead designer under both IBM and Lenovo for those 22 years. We caught up

The Big Oops in type systems: This problem extends to FP as well

The Big Oops in Type Systems: This Problem Extends to FP as Well Building on Casey Muratori's critique (youtube) of "compile time hierarchies that match the domain model," this problem extends beyond OOP to encompass a broader pattern in static type systems, particularly functional programming approaches that attempt to "make illegal states unrepresentable." Type systems are often ranked in a "correctness hierarchy", with Idris/Haskell at the top, Java/C# in the middle, Python/JavaScript at th

Double-slit experiment holds up when stripped to its quantum essentials

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of light. They also happen to confirm that Albert Einstein was wrong about this particular quantum scenario. The experiment in question is the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 by the British scholar Thomas Young to show how light behaves as a wave. Today, with the formulation of
