Google's new "Project Suncatcher" aims to launch Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) into space, creating a solar-powered, satellite-based AI network
capable of scaling machine learning beyond Earth's limits. Google says a "solar panel can be up to 8 times more productive than on earth" for near-continuous power using a "dawn-dusk sun-synchronous low earth orbit" that reduces the need for batteries and other power generation. 9to5Google reports: These satellites would connect via free-space optical links, with l

Вайлдберриз в этом смысле явно работает на укрупнение рынка. С тремя сильными игроками в нише они могут управляемо расти, а с десятком мелких копировальщиков из 1688 это менее предсказуемо. Платформе выгодно сокращать количество селлеров, оставляя сильных и неумных, и убирая средних.К той же логике подтягивается и Озон. Подняли комиссию — это сильнее всего бьёт по тем, кто работал на тонкой марже, то есть опять же по средним. Крупные могли договариваться... Read more ›

I still think the best example of the Switch 2's funky new mouse JoyCon exists in the horribly named Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. If you've followed me from my old haunt at VG247, you'll have heard this before, but I think it bears repeating: the best demo of the new hardware doesn't come from the Switch 2 Welcome Tour or something like Drag x Drive, it comes from...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Fictional portrayals of artificial intelligence can have a real effect on AI models, according to Anthropic. Last year, the company said that during pre-release tests involving a fictional company, Claude Opus 4 would often try to blackmail engineers to avoid being replaced by another system. Anthropic later published research suggesting that models from other companies had similar issues with "agentic misalignment." Apparently... Read more ›

cURL creator Daniel Stenberg says Anthropic's hyped Mythos bug-hunting model found only one confirmed low-severity vulnerability in cURL, plus a few non-security bugs, after he expected a much longer list. He argues Mythos may be useful, but not meaningfully beyond other modern AI code-analysis tools. "My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing," Stenberg... Read more ›

Nvidia's real AI moat isn't "a piece of hardware," writes Wired's Sheon Han. It's CUDA: a mature, deeply optimized software ecosystem that keeps machine-learning workloads tied to Nvidia GPUs. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: What sounds like a chemical compound banned by the FDA may be the one true moat in AI. CUDA technically stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture, but much like laser or scuba, no... Read more ›
