The move announced on social media comes after a standoff between Anthropic's boss and the Ministry of Defense.

The former president told the committee that he would never have flown on Epstein's plane if he "had any inkling of what he was doing".

Anthropic says it would be “legally unsound” for the Pentagon to blacklist its technology after talks over military use of its artificial intelligence models broke down.

Les démocrates espèrent que l’audition de l’ancien président, vendredi, crée un précédent pour obtenir une comparution de Donald Trump devant la commission parlementaire.

Philco was a common household brand for many years. The company started in 1892, making street lights. Then they pivoted to batteries. This was big business when early radios were all battery-operated. But in the 1920s, line-powered radios threatened to shrink their customer base, so they pivoted again. This time, they started making radios. So what happened? [The Last Shift] has the story, and you can see the video below.
Philco used advanced manufacturing techniques to make radios more affordable. By 1930, they were the number one radio maker in the world. After World War II, they moved into everything electric: mostly appliances, but also the new king of the electronics market, the television. Philco faced...

US President Donald Trump (R) looks on as US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks to the press following US military actions in Venezuela | AFP via Getty Images Nearly two hours after President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was banning Anthropic products from the federal government, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took it one step further and announced that he was now designating the AI company as a "supply-chain risk," which Anthropic says it is willing to challenge in court.
The decision could immediately impact numerous major tech companies that use Claude in their line of work for the Pentagon, including Palantir and AWS. It is not immediately clear to what extent the Pentagon may...

Even with the ability to take excellent photos with our phones and instantly share them across the world, there’s something magical about the old-school instant camera. With just a click of a button, you can capture a moment in a photo that you can see and touch almost immediately. Images captured by an instant camera aren’t as pristine or perfect as those produced by modern digital cameras, but their soft images and imperfections are often a big part of the allure. Yet not all instant cameras are the same, and some of them are better suited for different needs and budgets. That’s why we tested some of the most popular instant cameras on the market from brands like Fujifilm, Polaroid, Leica, Canon,...

The move came after Anthropic rebuffed the Pentagon's offer to resolve a standoff over deploying Anthropic's Claude AI system for military purposes without restriction

Anthropic has pressed for assurances its Claude AI won't be engaged in mass surveillance of Americans or used in autonomous weapons without human oversight

The two countries are repairing a strained relationship as they also seek to reduce their trade reliance on the US.

Having an AI assistant is all the rage these days, but AI assistants usually don’t know about your automation setups and may have difficulty dealing with tasks asynchronously. Enter zclaw. It gives you the option to have a personal assistant on an ESP32 backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter. The whole thing fits in 888KB, and while it doesn’t host the LLM, it does add key capabilities to monitor and control devices connected to the ESP32.
You communicate with the assistant via telegram. You can say things like “Remember the garage sensor is on GPIO 4.” Then later you might say: “In 20 minutes, check the garage sensor and if it is high, set GPIO 5 low.” It has an RTOS for scheduling tasks and...

NASA announced at a press conference on Friday that it's delaying its plans for a Moon landing until Artemis IV in 2028. The Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027, was originally going to attempt to land on the Moon but will now be a test flight instead. NASA also says it's "increasing its cadence of missions," including adding a second test flight in 2027 and aiming for "at least one surface landing every year thereafter," including the Artemis IV landing. The overhaul to the Artemis launch schedule follows a report from NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) earlier this month that highlighted serious safety risks with NASA's p …

After torpedoing Netflix’s bid to buy Warner Bros., Paramount Skydance is poised to have multiple major news organizations under its control.

President Trump said he was not happy with Iran's stance, but had not yet decided whether to attack.

Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance's merger agreement is now official. On Friday, the two companies announced plans to merge into a massive media company that will fold WBD's studio, linear channels, streaming service, and gaming segment into Paramount.
Though WBD initially signed onto an $83 billion agreement to merge part of Warner Bros. with Netflix, Paramount persisted with a hostile takeover bid, followed by a series of offers. That persistence paid off, as WBD determined that Paramount's "best and final" offer is "superior" to Netflix's deal. On Thursday, Netflix declined to match Paramount's bid, calling it "no longer fina …

OpenAI and Anthropic are raising enormous sums of campaign cash and mobilizing to leave a mark on the November midterm elections

President Donald Trump’s sudden order comes after the Defense Department pressured Anthropic to drop restrictions on how its AI can be used by the military.

On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, accusing Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, of attempting to "STRONG-ARM" the Pentagon and directing federal agencies to "IMMEDIATELY CEASE" use of its products. At issue is Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's refusal of an updated agreement with the US military agreeing to "any lawful use" of Anthropic's technology, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth mandated in a January memo, to the frustration of many tech workers across the industry.
As we explained earlier this week, that agreement would give the US military access to use the company's services for mass domestic surveillance and …

Recently the Myrient game video archive announced that they’re shutting down on March 31st of this year, for a couple of reasons, but primarily the skyrocketing financial costs of hosting the archive. One advantage of Myrient over e.g. Archive.org is that – per the FAQ – every game on the site is curated and checked against a checksum of a known good copy. The site also focuses on fast downloads, making it a good resource if you’re trying to find ROMs of some more obscure old gaming system.
Amidst the mourning it seems also pertinent to address the reasons behind this shutdown. Although finances are the main reason for this hobby project to be shut down, it’s due to (paywalled) download managers...

“Stem cells applied to the exposed spinal cords of fetuses in utero could treat infants with a severe birth complication that affects movement and continence. Researchers report that the therapy is safe, following a small clinical trial in six people. Spina bifida, a condition in which the spinal cord is not properly enclosed during gestation, affects fewer than 1 in 1,000 births globally, but occurs at higher rates in low-income countries. The most severe form, called myelomeningocele, can cause excess fluid accumulation in the brain and potential brain damage, as well as paralysis and issues with bladder and bowel control… Six pregnant women underwent surgery at 24–25 weeks of gestation. During the...

Culture of Bathe-ing’s first event, in Brooklyn, brought in DJs, poetry readings, and performance art to shift how we collectively sweat it out.About a month ago I was sweating in a thirty-year old concrete temazcal, built into the bathroom of a house in Oaxaca—an ancient sweat lodge ritual led by a temazcalero named Larissa. Today I’m sitting in an Airstream trailer that’s been converted into a sauna, parked on the shore of the Hudson River in Williamsburg’s Domino Park. Steeping in 180-degree heat can be transformative, and at the very least, zen. But despite the slight head high, there’s something about this sauna event I’m attending that feels very New York. Maybe it’s the throng of helpful...

Animatronic displays aren’t just for Halloween, and hackers today have incredible access to effective, affordable parts with which to make spectacles of light, sound, and movement. But the hardware is only half the battle. Getting everything synchronized properly can be a daunting task, so get a head start on your next holiday display with the Hauntimator by [1031-Systems].
Synchronizing control channels to audio is at the heart of solid animations.
After all, synchronizing movements, sound, and light by trial and error can get tiresome even in small setups. Anyone who makes such a display — and contemplates doing it twice — tends to quickly look into making things modular.

When they first considered buying land in Fayette County, West Virginia, they were set on building a home from scratch in the woods somewhere between where they both grew up. They had a lot of details in mind for the kind of land they wanted, but in order to narrow down their search, they agreed on one in particular: There had to be running water. "As it turns out, finding a place where running water intersects a paved road in a rural county is not easy," Lauren says. All of the wood in the cabin is locally sourced cherry, which the...

Last weekend, a blog post about Booklore crossed my feed and piqued my interest.
I've long used Calibre to manage my e-books and, in June last year, even containerised Calibre-server so that I could read (parts of) my library in a web browser.
As fantastic as Calibre is, its interface is showing its age and I don't love that they've been diverting energy into adding AI features. I'm sure that they're probably useful to someone, but I tend to view reading as an escape rather than an opportunity to further immerse myself in industry hype.
Booklore though, looks shiny and new. One of its features - Kobo sync support - also caught my eye. This masquerades as the Kobo store, allowing physical e-readers to fetch...
