I wish I was a crime podcast host right now â itâd be my favorite way to tell this tantalizing story about a tech worker hacking his own company, demanding a ransom, and later turning into a âwhistleblowerâ to cover his tracks. According to a document published by a New York district court, Nikolas Sharp, a former employee of network device maker Ubiquiti, hacked the companyâs system and demanded a... Read more âș

Reddit is about to get more rapid â just as I was yearning for social media to slow down. The company has launched a range of real-time animations and notification features that sound unsettlingly energetic. Votes and comments will no longer be a static number on posts and feeds. Instead, users will see dynamic animations as the numbers change. Votes will animate in real-time as the counts go up or... Read more âș

Thereâs a lot of discussion about âtimeâ in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our observable realm of classical physics. Think about the clock on the wall. You can push the hands backwards, but that doesnât cause time itself to rewind. Time marches on. But things are much... Read more âș

Now we get a glimpse of the Gen3 race car that â speaking of evolution â has turned... Read more âș

News here in Germany is that Elon Muskâs Gigafactory in Brandenburg is about to start production. As an AuslĂ€nder myself who has lived in East Germany (Berlin and Leipzig) for almost a decade, I know that Germany has some cultural quirks. So I wanted to offer Elon some tips from the land of wurst, beer, and the German way. I got assistance from a former factory floor worker from Teslaâs... Read more âș

Itâs just been a day since Parag Agarwal took over Twitter as CEO after Jack Dorsey resigned, and the company has rolled out a seemingly controversial policy. Under this new norm, you canât tweet out pictures of another individual. Twitter already had a private information policy that barred users from sharing other peopleâs phone numbers, addresses, and email IDs. Now itâs extending that to media, including videos and photos of...

Building a startup is like launching a brand new rocket ship⊠every day of the week. How? Let me explain. Rocket boosters, which provide additional thrust to enable a rocket ship to escape the gravitational pull of Earth, are removed within two minutes of flight in order for the rocket to continue the ascent. I see this similar to the early days of your operation, which are all about putting... Read more âș

A team of scientists from Google Research, the Alan Turing Institute, and Cambridge University recently unveiled a new state of the art (SOTA) multimodal transformer for AI.

What if I told you I was selling a set of computer programs that could automagically solve all of your hiring, diversity, and management problems overnight? Youâd be stupid not to at least listen to the rest of the offer, right? Of course no such system exists. The vast majority of AI products purported to predict social outcomes are blatant scams.
