Audit Finds Google, Microsoft, and Meta Still Tracking Users After Opt-Out

alternative_right shares a report from 404 Media: An independent privacy audit of Microsoft, Meta, and Google web traffic in California found that the companies may be violating state regulations and racking up billions in fines. According to the audit from privacy search engine webXray, 55 percent of the sites it checked set ad cookies in a user's browser even if they opted out of tracking. Each company disputed or took issue with the research, with Google saying it was based on a "fundamental misunderstan

Honor Magic V6 review: I doubted this sleek foldable, but it raced beyond expectations

The Honor Magic V6 is the most complete large foldable out there. It is the first in the category with both IP68 and IP69 certifications, has the best camera system on any large foldable, and offers battery life that puts most slab phones to shame. The crease and a complicated performacne setup are the only caveats in an otherwise easy recommendation. Read more

G-code программисту и Brainfuck не страшен

G-code часто выглядит как простой язык команд для станка: поехать в точку, включить шпиндель, опустить инструмент, пройти рез. Но стоит задаче стать немного живее — добавить параметры, копии, повороты, состояние инструмента и зависимость от текущего режима, — как внутри языка без привычных if, while, массивов и нормальных имён начинает проступать настоящее программирование.

What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new universe inside the dying star. Driven by dark energy, this miniature cosmos would expand and push back against gravity, preventing complete collapse and creating an exotic object... Read more

Интероперабельность медданных: почему один биомаркер — это не один код

В каждой лаборатории один и тот же биомаркер называют по-своему, и кажется логичным «схлопнуть все синонимы в один код». Но это работает ровно наполовину: LOINC-код — это не название анализа, а шесть осей (что, чем, где, как измерили), и рядом нужен UCUM для единиц.Почему «синонимы → код» — ловушка, зачем нужны и LOINC, и UCUM, как это ложится в OMOP для RWE и почему финальный код нельзя доверить языковой модели....

Reddit Ads Impersonate BBC and The Guardian to Push Fake AI Investment Schemes

A "growing wave" of Reddit's "promoted posts" are sending U.S. and European audiences to money-stealing scams that impersonate major news organizations including the BBC, the Financial Times, and The Guardian, according to new findings from Bitdefender Labs. "Domains are short-lived and rapidly rotated to evade detection," they write, noting that the impersonating sites apparently even use language "to falsely imply that the investment platform had been reviewed, approved, or vetted"...

After Empty Promises, Will String Theory Find New Uses?

Science magazine reports: For decades, string theory promised a "theory of everything" that described all particles and forces as tiny vibrating strings. Physicists hoped it could also solve one of the field's deepest problems: reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity. But as string theory grew increasingly elaborate — and experimentally unreachable — many physicists lost hope. Now, some researchers are revisiting the theory from first principles.

"Can a company take away something you've already paid for?" asks the BBC. "In the world of online video games, some already do."
