Google will upgrade its revenge porn defenses with help from a UK nonprofit

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 10:10:16

Google is partnering with a UK nonprofit to fight non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). (You may know it better as revenge porn.) Over the coming months, the company will begin using StopNCII's hashes. These user-uploaded digital fingerprints can block individuals' unwanted intimate content from appearing in search results. StopNCII has a pretty neat system to combat revenge porn. Say you have some images you most definitely don't want surfacing online. Select the picture on your device, and

Unprecedented ‘Einstein Cross’ Reveals Fifth Ghost Image and a Dark Matter Surprise

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-20 03:30:14

When gravity—an invisible yet ubiquitous force—bends and distorts light from distant galaxies, Earthbound observers get a rare glimpse of elusive cosmic phenomena. And the weirder the glitch, the more insightful the finding, as a team of astronomers recently discovered. These glitches are formally referred to as Einstein Crosses. As light from a distant galaxy travels toward our observatories, the gravitational force of galaxies closer to us bends that light, creating an image of four bright do

Al Gore on China’s climate rise: ‘I would not have seen this coming’

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-21 03:00:00

Twenty-five years ago, Al Gore was in the final stretch of his U.S. presidential campaign, just weeks away from an election that would ultimately slip through his fingers despite winning the popular vote. His platform included ambitious climate action, with America positioned as the natural leader of a global environmental transition. The irony of what has transpired since is not lost on him. “Looking from the standpoint of 25 years ago, I have to say no, I would not have seen this as the most

Automating Distro Updates in CI

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate

After a tenure of eight years, a Tesla engineer has quit the company — and directed a seething missive toward his boss, Elon Musk.

In graph theory, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite (and usually dense) graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not, and in weighted graphs, they store the edge weights. In many beginner-level tutorials, adjacency matrices are implemented using vector of vectors (nested dynamic arrays), but this approach has inefficiencies due to multiple memory allocations.
