Washington state residents may soon be forced to produce IDs before getting onto websites with pornographic content. Within the state's House of Representatives, Rep. Mari Leavitt introduced House Bill 2112, which is informally known as the Keep Our Children Safe Act. Similar to the initiatives seen in other states, the bill proposes to restrict access to "online sexual material harmful" to anyone under 18. In practical terms, those living in... Read more ›

Microsoft released its first security update of 2026 for Windows 11 on January 13th. Just four days later, it was forced to release an emergency out-of-band update to fix some pretty serious bugs, the first one introduced. The security patch was stopping some systems from shutting down or hibernating properly, and also preventing some users […] Read more ›

If you weren't able to shut down your Windows 11 device recently, Microsoft has rolled out an emergency fix addressing a couple of critical bugs that popped up with its latest January 2026 Windows security update. The latest "out-of-band" update repairs an issue for some Windows 11 devices that would only restart when users tried to shut down or hibernate. The same update restores the ability for Windows 10 and... Read more ›

Slashdot reader BrianFagioli writes: Acer has filed three separate patent infringement lawsuits against AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, taking the unusual step of hauling the nation's largest wireless carriers into federal court. The suits, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, claim the companies are using Acer-developed cellular networking technology without paying for the privilege. Acer says it tried to negotiate licenses for years but reached a dead end, arguing it... Read more ›

Presented by NetSuiteMost companies racing from startup to an industry leader face a choice: limp along with scrappy early systems or endure a costly platform migration.DoorDash did neither. The local-commerce giant scaled from its 2013 founding through IPO and global expansion — acquiring the Helsiniki-based technology company Wolt in 2022 and UK-based Deliveroo in 2025 — while keeping its original Oracle NetSuite business system. Today, it serves over 50 million... Read more ›

In the chaotic world of Large Language Model (LLM) optimization, engineers have spent the last few years developing increasingly esoteric rituals to get better answers. We’ve seen "Chain of Thought" (asking the model to think step-by-step and often, show those "reasoning traces" to the user), "Emotional Blackmail" (telling the model its career depends on the answer, or that it is being accused of sexual misconduct), and complex multi-shot prompting frameworks.But...

Every year, NeurIPS produces hundreds of impressive papers, and a handful that subtly reset how practitioners think about scaling, evaluation and system design. In 2025, the most consequential works weren't about a single breakthrough model. Instead, they challenged fundamental assumptions that academicians and corporations have quietly relied on: Bigger models mean better reasoning, RL creates new capabilities, attention is “solved” and generative models inevitably memorize.This year’s top papers collectiv Read more ›

Anthropic's open source standard, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), released in late 2024, allows users to connect AI models and the agents atop them to external tools in a structured, reliable format. It is the engine behind Anthropic's hit AI agentic programming harness, Claude Code, allowing it to access numerous functions like web browsing and file creation immediately when asked.But there was one problem: Claude Code typically had to "read"...

The two big stories of AI in 2026 so far have been the incredible rise in usage and praise for Anthropic's Claude Code and a similar huge boost in user adoption for Google's Gemini 3 AI model family released late last year — the latter of which includes Nano Banana Pro (also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image), a powerful, fast, and flexible image generation model that renders complex, text-heavy...

In an impressive feat, Japanese startup Sakana AI’s coding agent ALE-Agent recently secured first place in the AtCoder Heuristic Contest (AHC058), a complex coding competition that involves complicated optimization problems — and a more difficult and perhaps telling challenge than benchmarks like HumanEval, which mostly test the ability to write isolated functions, and which many AI models and agents now regularly pass with ease ("benchmark saturation"). Sakana's accomplishment with ALE-Agent... Read more ›

The German AI startup Black Forest Labs (BFL), founded by former Stability AI engineers, is continuing to build out its suite of open source AI image generators with the release of FLUX.2 [klein], a new pair of small models — one open and one non-commercial — that emphasizes speed and lower compute requirements, with the models generating images in less than a second on a Nvidia GB200. The [klein] series,... Read more ›

Kilo Code, the open-source AI coding startup backed by GitLab cofounder Sid Sijbrandij, is launching a Slack integration that allows software engineering teams to execute code changes, debug issues, and push pull requests directly from their team chat — without opening an IDE or switching applications.The product, called Kilo for Slack, arrives as the AI-assisted coding market heats up with multibillion-dollar acquisitions and funding rounds. But rather than building another... Read more ›

Rather than asking how AI agents can work for them, a key question in enterprise is now: Are agents playing well together? This makes orchestration across multi-agent systems and platforms a critical concern — and a key differentiator. “Agent-to-agent communications is emerging as a really big deal,” G2’s chief innovation officer Tim Sanders told VentureBeat. “Because if you don't orchestrate it, you get misunderstandings, like people speaking foreign languages to...

As agentic AI moves from experiments to real production workloads, a quiet but serious infrastructure problem is coming into focus: memory. Not compute. Not models. Memory.Under the hood, today’s GPUs simply don’t have enough space to hold the Key-Value (KV) caches that modern, long-running AI agents depend on to maintain context. The result is a lot of invisible waste — GPUs redoing work they’ve already done, cloud costs climbing, and... Read more ›
