techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-09-24 15:00:00

Inward remittances jumped from $55.6 billion in 2010-11 to $118.7 billion in 2023-24, according to data from the country’s central bank. The bank projects that figure will reach $160 billion in 2029.

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2025-09-24 16:30:27

We're fortunate to live in an age when cellphone and Wi-Fi coverage is incredible, but it can still let you down. For those times, satellite phones are a true game-changer for anyone beyond the reach of traditional mobile networks or during emergencies or natural disasters. Unlike standard smartphones, which rely on cellular networks made up of physical towers, satellite phones communicate directly with satellites orbiting approximately 500 miles above the Earth.

SEO for chatbots: How Adobe aims to help brands get noticed in the age of AI

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-09-24 22:01:16

Adobe For years, Google has effectively been the sole gatekeeper to online advertising, determining which brands get seen and which get lost in the noise. That paradigm is slowly but surely starting to shift, as people increasingly turn to AI chatbots like ChatGPT to find information online. Brands are having to adjust their marketing strategies in response. On Monday, Adobe introduced a platform designed to help advertisers capitalize on the wave of large language models (LLMs) that's been sw

The U.S. Navy is more aggressively telling startups, ‘We want you’

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-24 14:40:06

While Silicon Valley executives like those from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI are grabbing headlines for trading their Brunello Cucinelli vests for Army Reserve uniforms, a quieter transformation has been underway in the U.S. Navy. How so? Well, the Navy’s chief technology officer, Justin Fanelli, says he has spent the last two and a half years cutting through the red tape and shrinking the protracted procurement cycles that once made working with the military a nightmare for startups.

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-24 12:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

Studio Ghibli marks 40 years, but future looks uncertain

Japan's Studio Ghibli turns 40 this month with two Oscars and legions of fans young and old won over by its complex plots and fantastical hand-drawn animation. But the future is uncertain, with latest hit "The Boy and the Heron" likely — but not certainly — the final feature from celebrated co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, now 84. In March, the internet was flooded with pictures in Studio Ghibli's distinctively nostalgic style after the release of OpenAI's newest image generator — raising questions o

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2025-09-21 06:11:17

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

David Attenborough at 99: 'I will not see how the story ends'

news.ycombinator.com David Attenborough 2025-09-24 17:21:28

My earliest memory of the ocean is of a tropical lagoon. Ammonites rose and fell in the warm water column, occasionally propelling themselves forwards, their curled ram’s horn shells surprisingly streamlined in the water. This tropical lagoon was in fact in my imagination, fired as I explored the old limestone quarry near my childhood home in Leicester, some 60 miles from the coast. For a small boy in the 1930s this was a marvellous place for adventures, and the knowledge that millions of year

How to modify Starlink Mini to run without the built-in WiFi router

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely.

Over the past few years, we've seen that next-token prediction scales, denoising diffusion scales, contrastive learning scales, and so on, all the way to the point where we can train models with billions of parameters with a scalable objective that can eat up as much data as we can throw at it. Then, what about reinforcement learning (RL)? Does RL also scale like all the other objectives? Apparently, it does. In 2016, RL achieved superhuman-level performance in games like Go and C
