Long-time Slashdot reader Anne Thwacks frequently uses YouTube's subtitles "not to disturb others in the room, or because my hearing is not very good." But they say there's a new problem.
"The subtitling is terrible!"
Almost every sentence has a huge error. Proper names are more often wrong than right. Non-English place names are almost always mangled to barely recognizable. And no effort whatsoever is made to use context to figure out whether a place name is Russian or Arabic, and often complete garbage

After yet another modest upgrade, you might be wondering what would be the most sensible pick between the newly released Samsung Galaxy S26+ and the year-old Samsung Galaxy S25+. After all, it looks like the latter gets you a lot of the way there at a more reasonable starting price. But not everything becomes immediately apparent from the spec sheet alone. There are still some under-the-hood changes that need exploring.... Read more ›

Рассмотрен подход к созданию управляемого "бэкдора", позволяющего подгружать функции без остановки и перезагрузки. С помощью манипуляций с линкер-скриптом и средств языка C создаются "точки расширения" в прошивке, позволяющие в будущем внедрять новые функциональные модули без пересборки и перезаписи всей программы. Такой подход может быть полезен при разработке отказоустойчивых систем для оптимизации жизненного цикла встроенного ПО, так как позволяет заложить гибкость при непредвиденных модификациях.

A drone made mostly from cardboard sounds almost laughable at first. It suggests shipping boxes, school projects, or something that should fall apart in bad weather, not a serious piece of military technology. But that is why Japan’s cardboard drone story is getting attention. The concern is not that cardboard suddenly became a miracle aerospace material. The concern is what happens when drones become cheap enough to build, transport, and... Read more ›

"Nuclear AI startup" Fermi had hoped to build power plants generating 17 gigawatts of electricity, remembers Bloomberg, "three times the amount typically consumed by New York City." Hyperscalers could install their data centers on the site itself and tap directly into that power, which would come first from natural gas turbines and later from nuclear reactors. The pitch ticked so many boxes — artificial intelligence, nuclear energy, political connections —... Read more ›

Mother’s Day is Sunday next week and we’re already seeing some shipping times slip to after the holiday. Most phones will still arrive on time, however. Admittedly, the Nothing Phone (3) probably won’t be mom’s first pick – but with a $200 discount, this Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powered phone offers a good balance between performance and camera quality. It has a large 50MP 1/1.3” sensor in the main camera,... Read more ›

America's National Science Board (NSB) "was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation," writes the Washington Post, "in an unusual structure within the federal government that echoes the setup of a company board in the private sector. It helps guide an agency that operates Antarctic research stations, telescopes, a fleet of research vessels and supports basic science research in laboratories across the United States." (NSF...

The AI industry is largely failing to ask a key design question, argues theoretical neuroscientist/cognitive scientist Vivienne Ming. Are their AI products building human capacity or consuming it? In the Wall Street Journal Ming shares her experiment about which group performed best at predicting real-world events (compared to forecasters on prediction market Polymarket) — AI, human, or human-AI hybrid teams. The human groups performed poorly, relying on instinct or whatever... Read more ›

An anonymous reader shared this report from the Associated Press: The 1986 Chernobyl disaster fueled global fears about nuclear power and slowed its development in Europe and elsewhere. Four decades later, however, there's a revival around the world, a trend that has been given a big boost by war in the Middle East. Over 400 nuclear reactors are operational in 31 countries, while about 70 more are under construction. Nuclear... Read more ›

The Conversation published this warning from privacy/tech law/electronic surveillance attorney Anne Toomey McKenna (also an affiliated faculty member at Penn State's Institute for Computational and Data Sciences).

In March, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that the moon-orbiting "Lunar Gateway" space station was being "paused" to focus instead of missions to the moon's surface. And Ars Technica agrees that the project was essentially "spending billions of dollars to make it more difficult to reach the lunar surface and faced the prospect of watching Chinese astronauts wander around on the Moon from orbit instead of being there themselves."
