The quest to defend against tech in intimate partner violence

technologyreview.com Jessica Klein 2026-03-17 17:00:00

As technology evolved, the ways abusers took advantage evolved too. Realizing that the advocacy community “was not up on tech,” Southworth founded the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s Safety Net Project in 2000 to provide a comprehensive training curriculum on how to “harness [technology] to help victims” and hold abusers accountable when they misuse it. Today, the project offers resources on its website, like tool kits that include guidance on strategies such as creating strong passw

If this OnePlus 15 camera leak is true, OnePlus might be making a critical mistake

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-17 18:00:57

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The OnePlus 13 is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Android phones available today — and for a multitude of reasons. Its design is great, performance is outstanding, and battery life is amazing. Unlike a lot of past OnePlus phones, the OnePlus 13’s cameras are just as good (if not better) than the rest of its flagship competitors. And that’s why the latest OnePlus 15 leak has me worried.

Van Gogh, AMD's Steam Deck APU (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Chester Lam 2026-03-17 15:26:58

Zen 2’s launch was a defining moment for AMD. For the first time in many, many years, AMD’s single thread performance could go head to head with Intel’s best. Zen 2 also started a trend where AMD brought up to 16 cores to desktop CPUs, giving consumers very strong multithreaded performance without having to buy HEDT platforms. But Zen 2 was also flexible and did a very good job of scaling down to lower power targets. That was especially true when Zen 2 cores were implemented in more power effic

Is There a Half-Life for the Success Rates of AI Agents?

In general, ability to perform a task drops off as its duration increases, so they use the AI agent’s performance on tasks of different lengths to estimate the task-length at which the model would have a 50% success rate. They then showed that this length has been doubling every 7 months as the capabilities of frontier agents improve. The task-lengths are measured by how long it took humans to solve the same tasks.
