On Friday, NASA announced that the Link spacecraft, manufactured by Katalyst Space Technologies to intervene before Swift's fate is sealed, completed its slate of environmental testing at the agency's Goddard Space.

In Britain’s biggest four-day-week trial, 71 percent of employees said they felt less burnt out by the end. That figure, not anything about profit or output, is the one that stands out. Whether the shorter week would hurt productivity had a fairly predictable answer. What it would do to people did not. We are writers ... Read more Read more ›

Недавно в комментариях спросили: «Как найти баланс? Алкоголь мне нравится скорее из-за вкуса, нежели самого алкоголя, люблю джиновые коктейли и вино. Могу на несколько месяцев отказаться от алкоголя, но потом становится скучно. А если пью, иногда теряю меру и расплачиваюсь хмурым утром». И я понял, что вопрос вообще не про алкоголь. Он о том, можно ли сохранить привычки жизни двадцатилетнего себя, когда тебе уже не двадцать. Читать далее Read more ›

IEEE Spectrum argues that orbital data centers remain far from economically or technically practical despite Elon Musk's prediction that space will become the cheapest place to run AI within a few years. Deploying SpaceX's proposed million-satellite constellation would require enormous increases in launch and manufacturing capacity, while cooling, radiation, maintenance, latency, orbital debris, and astronomical interference present major unresolved obstacles.

Sysdig says it has documented the first ransomware attack carried out end to end by an AI agent, which autonomously exploited exposed systems, stole credentials, established persistence, compromised a production database, and destroyed data. The research team named the attacker "JadePuffer" and said it gained initial access to an internet-facing Langflow instance by exploiting CVE-2025-3248.

The US unemployment rate fell to 4.2% in June largely because 720,000 people left the labor force, pushing participation to 61.5%. Excluding the Covid-era jobs market, that's the lowest participation rate since June 1976. CNBC reports: The decline in the labor force marks a "massive exodus" driven by multiple factors, said Mike Reid, head of U.S. economics at RBC.
