Scale AI lays off 14% of staff, largely in data-labeling business

In Brief Data-labeling startup Scale AI is laying off 200 employees, roughly 14% of its staff, and cutting ties with 500 of its global contractors, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The cuts come just a month after Meta hired Scale AI’s CEO in a $14.3 billion deal. In a memo obtained by Bloomberg, interim CEO Jason Droege told staff that Scale AI had too quickly scaled its core data-labeling business — in which the startup supplied AI labs with labeled, structured data to train AI models.

Million Times Million

Million Times Million By Susam Pal on 03 Jul 2025 Is a million times a million a billion or is it a trillion? For my entire childhood, it was a billion, only for me to grow up and realise, as an adult, that it had better be a trillion! Growing Up With the Long Scale As a child, I stumbled upon an old dictionary lying around our house, and that was where I discovered the names of large numbers. The dictionary used the long scale system, which is based on powers of a million. According to the

Log your weight in Apple Health quickly and cheaply with this iPhone-compatible smart scale

After my last WiFi-enabled smart scale broke and refused to connect to the Internet anymore, I sought something simpler and cheaper to replace it. The old scale had all sorts of fancy service integrations that I never used. I just wanted something that would track my weight and report the measurements to the Health app on my iPhone.

The 7 Best Kitchen Scales Reviewed by a Former Chocolatier (2025)

It’s hard to overstate the convenience of a solid kitchen scale for home cooks. Digital kitchen scales open up a new world of possibilities when it comes to upping your cooking or baking game, allowing precision in measuring ingredients, consistency in recipes, and efficiency in the kitchen. As more and more recipes are converted to grams (my favorite measuring metric), there’s no reason to put off investing in a digital scale, especially with how affordable these gadgets can be. Most—like our

Citrix warns of login issues after NetScaler auth bypass patch

Citrix warns that patching recently disclosed vulnerabilities that can be exploited to bypass authentication and launch denial-of-service attacks may also break login pages on NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances. This happens because starting with NetScaler 14.1.47.46 and 13.1.59.19, the Content Security Policy (CSP) header, which mitigates risks associated with cross-site scripting (XSS), code injection, and other client-side attacks, is enabled by default. However, while it is designed to b

New 'CitrixBleed 2' NetScaler flaw let hackers hijack sessions

A recent vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway is dubbed "CitrixBleed 2," after its similarity to an older exploited flaw that allowed unauthenticated attackers to hijack authentication session cookies from vulnerable devices. Last week, Citrix published a security bulletin warning about flaws tracked as CVE-2025-5777 and CVE-2025-5349 that impact NetScaler ADC and Gateway versions before 14.1-43.56, releases before 13.1-58.32, and also 13.1-37.235-FIPS/NDcPP and 2.1-55.328-FIPS.

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

Primitive fixed-point decimal types. Rust built-in f32 and f64 types have two drawbacks: can not represent decimal numbers in base 10 accurately, because they are in base 2; can not guarantee the fraction precision, because they are floating-point. This crate provides fixed-point decimal types to address the issues by using integer types to represent numbers with a scaling factor (also called as "scale") in base 10 to achieve the accuracy. This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do
