Malaria may have shaped early human life across Africa far earlier than once thought, steering where people could safely live and when groups stayed apart. By tracing ancient mosquito habitats, researchers found an overlooked disease barrier running through humanity’s deep past. For decades, scientists believed climate was the main force guiding where early humans lived across Africa. Shifting rain patterns opened green corridors. Expanding deserts cut populations apart. Wet and dry cycles pushed groups into new landscapes or trapped them in isolated regions. But a new study suggests another powerful force may have quietly shaped human history for tens of thousands of years: malaria. Researchers from the Max...

Donald Trump a annoncé jeudi 21 mai l’envoi prochain de 5 000 soldats américains en Pologne. De quoi rassurer les pays de l’Otan qui redoutent une fin brutale de l’engagement des États-Unis pour leur sécurité. Sauf que les détails du déploiement sont encore flous et que l’administration Trump a multiplié les annonces contradictoires ces derniers jours.

Summary: Recent debates have framed global inequality as rapidly worsening, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence from the Inequality of Human Progress Index indicates that, despite temporary setbacks, long-term declines in inequality across multiple dimensions of wellbeing have largely persisted, with global disparities remaining well below 1990s levels. Affordability fears, talk of a “K-shaped” economy, and claims of a new Gilded Age have pushed inequality to the center of today’s policy debates. Calls for a worldwide wealth tax and other unprecedented measures are not treated as radical but as inevitable—across academia, non-profits, the press, and international...

The app, called Forum, lets users post in groups using a nickname and includes an AI-powered tab that pulls answers from across communities

Meta's new Forum app for iPhones takes Facebook Groups and moves them to a dedicated app with a dedicated AI chatbot to go with it, like an AI revamp of the ill-fated Groups app Facebook shut down in 2017. Rather than going to ChatGPT or tacking "Reddit" onto the end of a Google search, Forum users can view, search for, and post advice directly in their Facebook groups, with optional help from Meta's AI. After logging in with my Facebook account, Forum automatically pulled in the groups I was part of on Facebook and populated my feed with posts from those groups, along with suggestions from groups I'm not part of, similar to my Reddit fe …

There is a harsh truth about Elon Musk's "truth-seeking" AI chatbot Grok: It's not very good, and not many people are using it. That's the takeaway of a new Reuters report, which found that Grok barely appears in federal records of how the US government used AI last year. It's not the only sign xAI's signature chatbot is in trouble, even as Musk puts it at the heart of what could be the biggest IPO in history.
Reuters reviewed more than 400 examples of government AI use where specific vendors were named. Grok or xAI, it found, appeared in only three - each of those for basic uses like document drafting or social media management, and always …

“More than 4,000 kilometers of high-voltage transmission lines have been built to connect the electricity grids of 15 West African countries through the WAPP, enabling utilities to trade electricity across borders. As a result, about 8 percent of regional electricity is now traded (approaching the European Commission’s 10–12 percent cross-border electricity trade benchmark), lowering costs and improving supply reliability.” From World Bank.

They say that Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer.

“The results announced by Eli Lilly were from a randomized study of 2,339 patients who were obese or overweight. Those who got the highest dose of the drug had lost 70 pounds on average, or 28 percent of their body weight, after 80 weeks, the company said. The drug led to even more weight loss in the heaviest patients in the study. Those with a body mass index over 35, considered moderate or severe obesity, were assessed after two years. Over that time, those on the highest dose lost an average of 85 pounds, or 30.3 percent of their weight. By comparison, patients who have gastric bypass surgery lose about 30 to 35 percent of their body weight after two years. The weight loss with retatrutide surpasses what...

Flowering plants survived Earth’s worst disasters, including the asteroid strike that ended the dinosaurs, while many others vanished. A sweeping genomic analysis suggests ancient DNA doubling may have helped them endure upheaval, opening a new window on resilience in a warming world. Sixty-six million years ago, a giant asteroid slammed into Earth and changed life forever. The impact wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs and devastated ecosystems across the planet. Fires spread, sunlight dimmed and food chains collapsed. Yet somehow, many flowering plants survived. A new study from Ghent University suggests those survivors may have carried a hidden advantage deep inside their DNA. Researchers found that many...

As fun as ARM and RISC-V single-board computers (SBCs) are, all too often getting the most out of the hardware requires the use of an unofficial firmware image.

TOI-199 b, a rare temperate giant planet, sits between scorching hot Jupiters and frozen gas giants, and JWST has found methane in its atmosphere. That first close look begins to fill a major gap in planetary chemistry, while raising questions. Methane is common on the cold giants of our solar system, but it has been missing from one important middle ground: giant planets warm enough to be temperate, yet not roasted by their stars. That gap has now narrowed with a close look at TOI-199 b, a Saturn-sized world more than 330 light-years away. The planet circles its star every 105 days and has an estimated temperature of about 175 degrees Fahrenheit. That is still hot by everyday standards, but far milder than...

Google’s Project Zero demonstrates a new zero-click exploit for the Pixel 10 phones, showing a full escalation from remote to kernel without user interaction. During the investigation Project Zero found unprotected memory access from userspace in the Tensor G5 video processing chip driver, which allows direct write access to kernel memory.
Using previously discovered flaws in media decoding components — in this case CVE-2025-54957 in the Dolby digital audio decoder — Project Zero modified a Pixel 9 attack to work on the Pixel 10, despite newer protections built into the hardware to harden the system against memory corruption.
The author’s takeaway is mixed. Once the bug on Pixel 9 was reported, one...

In February, the Commercial Court No. 1 of Córdoba labeled VPN services as “technological intermediaries,” ordering them to actively block IP addresses that host illegal LaLiga matches. The “dynamic” injunction specifically targeted NordVPN and ProtonVPN and it was granted without the companies being heard. In addition, there was no immediate right of appeal either. Both VPN providers questioned the Spanish court’s jurisdiction, as they are both incorporated outside the EU. NordVPN called the approach unacceptable and warned of overblocking. LaLiga, in its turn, pointed out that NordVPN failed to fully implement the Spanish interim order, and it asked the court to punish the VPN provider with...
