Copilot Is 'For Entertainment Purposes Only,' According To Microsoft's ToS

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: AI skeptics aren't the only ones warning users not to unthinkingly trust models' outputs -- that's what the AI companies say themselves in their terms of service. Take Microsoft, which is currently focused on getting corporate customers to pay for Copilot. But it's also been getting dinged on social media over Copilot's terms of use, which appear to have been last updated on October 24, 2025. "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only," the company warne

Tardigrades can survive freezing near absolute zero, extreme radiation, and the vacuum of space by drying into glass-like tuns that suspend their biology until conditions improve

Tardigrades survive boiling, near-absolute-zero cold and the vacuum of space by curling into a desiccated 'tun' and vitrifying their cellular interior with disordered proteins and sugars that take over water's structural jobs. Fossil evidence suggests the trick is at least 250 million years old. Read more

Как тестировать HTTP-запросы к внешним сервисам в Python-приложениях: requests-mock, pytest-httpx и FastAPI

Не всегда стоит патчить ответ от внешнего HTTP-сервиса через mocker.patch. В таких тестах приложение возвращает ожидаемый ответ, но важная часть логики остаётся непроверенной: какой URL собрал клиент, каким методом ушёл запрос, какое тело было отправлено и как обработался ответ внешнего сервиса. В статье показываю другой подход: мокать не метод клиента, а сам внешний HTTP-сервис. Для клиентов на requests используем requests-mock, для клиентов на httpx — pytest-httpx. Так тесты остаются быстрыми... Read more

Apple Working To Cram Massive Gemini Model Into iPhone To Power New Siri

Apple is reportedly working to shrink Google's Gemini models enough to power parts of a long-delayed AI-enhanced Siri on iPhones. But despite Apple's best efforts to run the AI locally, "the iPhone's Gemini makeover will lean heavily on Google and Nvidia in the cloud," reports Ars Technica. That could complicate Apple's privacy-first AI messaging, especially if more complex Siri requests are routed through Google infrastructure and Nvidia's encrypted cloud-computing platform....
