Dubbed “SploitLight,” the flaw exploited how Spotlight indexes plugin data to access sensitive files and Apple Intelligence metadata. Apple addressed the issue in macOS in March, but users on older versions could be at risk. Microsoft alerted Apple to the exploit upon discovery, leading to its fix in macOS earlier this year.

Mysterious Petroglyphs Reemerge on Oahu Beach

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-04 21:20:46

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first

Tesla vet says that ‘reviewing real products’ — not mock-ups — is the key to staying innovative

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-01-02 09:00:00

GM’s EVs have been on a roll lately. After selling just the Chevy Bolt for years, a wave of new models — now up to 17 fully electrified vehicles — has pushed the automaker into second place in the U.S. behind Tesla. How did it get there? With a little help from a Tesla veteran. GM board member Jon McNeill was president of Tesla during the development and introduction of the Model 3, a crucial period of the company’s growth. One of the things he credits for Tesla’s success is how Elon Musk ran

In Brief The massive Las Vegas venue known as Sphere will be screening its first classic movie, “The Wizard of Oz,” starting on August 28.

The Directors of ‘Project Hail Mary’ Explain Why the Movie Is a PC, Not a Mac

Making movies is all about compromises. This actor is unavailable, so you cast someone else. That location is too expensive, so let’s build a set. This shot is impossible, so let’s think of something better. At every step, the big, huge mechanism of filmmaking is always a work in progress. But on Project Hail Mary, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord tried to embrace a new philosophy. “What’s great about this movie is there are so many things that make it harder to make,” Miller said in Hall H

The First ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Trailer Is a Huge Level Up for Pandora

Give James Cameron three years to tinker with the same world, and everything is going to get bigger and better. That’s the main takeaway in this first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in Cameron’s mega-blockbuster sci-fi series. Everything in this trailer takes what we expect from Avatar and brings it up a notch. The action is bigger. The sets are more elaborate. The characters are more emotional.

In June, a fuel delivery to a Johns Hopkins Hospital campus went terribly awry, spilling 2,000 gallons of diesel into Baltimore’s harbor. As the Maryland capital raced to contain the mess, responders discovered a problem: They didn’t have access to reliable power at the waterfront site. Usually in these kinds of situations, responders bring in fossil-fuel generators. But city officials wanted to do better than burning more fuel while cleaning up diesel.

Enough AI copilots, we need AI HUDs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 17:51:28

In my opinion, one of the best critiques of modern AI design comes from a 1992 talk by the researcher Mark Weiser where he ranted against “copilot” as a metaphor for AI. This was 33 years ago, but it’s still incredibly relevant for anyone designing with AI. Weiser’s rant Weiser was speaking at an MIT Media Lab event on “interface agents”. They were grappling with many of the same issues we’re discussing in 2025: how to make a personal assistant that automates tasks for you and knows your full
