gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-01 21:21:10

According to Bloomberg, Meta has hired Ruoming Pang, a high-level engineer who led Apple’s foundation models team. Pang, a former Google veteran and key architect behind the large language models (LLMs) powering Apple Intelligence, will now join Meta’s elite AI unit focused on building superintelligent systems.

Image by Mars / Kevin Dietsch via Getty / Futurism Developments From the jump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s alliance with Donald Trump has been fraught: the former hates fast food and artificial additives, while the latter is known for his love of burgers and Diet Coke. Nowhere has that tension been more clear than in the newly-minted Health and Human Services secretary's war on synthetic food dyes, which is his first battle in what he's framing as a war to reconstitute the United States' ultraproc

Anamorphosis refers to a category of images that are intentionally distorted, making them unrecognizable when viewed directly. Their true form only reveals itself when seen from a specific viewpoint, which can be through some catadioptric device like a mirror or a lens. While the construction of these mathematical devices can be traced back to as early as the 17th century, they are only interpretable when viewed from a specific vantage point and tend to lose meaning when seen normally.

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes.

‘Warning Fatigue’ Might Have Made Texas Floods Deadlier

A deluge of rain triggered deadly flash floods in Texas Hill Country over the weekend, causing widespread damage and killing more than 80 people. As the death toll climbs, some experts say “flood warning fatigue” may have discouraged residents from heeding the National Weather Service’s (NWS) warnings. Texas Hill Country is part of “flash flood alley,” a crescent-shaped region that curves from the Dallas area down to San Antonio and then westward. It’s one of the most dangerous places in the U.

Oldest wooden tools in East Asia may have come from any of three species

Someone made very sophisticated wooden tools in China 300,000 years ago, and it might have been Denisovans or even Homo erectus. The digging sticks, curved root-slicers, and a handful of somewhat puzzling implements were all found at a lakeshore site called Gantangqing. They are the oldest wooden tools from East Asia so far. All the previous Pleistocene tools found in the area were made from harder material like stone, bone, or antler. But logic suggests that hominins must have prepared and use
