The AI is basically a "weather forecaster for microbes" on cadavers.

A24 pissed off one of the internet's largest horror communities when it announced it was working on an SCP Foundation film, but apparently hadn't bothered to contact the SCP Wiki team, nor did it commit to releasing it under a Creative Commons license as required. Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by announcing it's making its own SCP movie. But unlike A24, it proactively reached out to the SCP Foundation Wiki team and has pledged to release it under the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.
This is not an "official" SCP film. None of the wiki's staff is involved in the writing or production, it is not receiving compensati …

A pilot has been arrested and is being questioned after another pilot was stabbed, officials say.

Google today revealed its next AI frontier model, which it's calling Gemini 4 Argon. The new model delivers "frontier performance in complex workflows across real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense," according to chief AI architect and Google DeepMind SVP Koray Kavukcuoglu. But the company is limiting access at first to a "set of trusted cyber defenders," and Kavukcuoglu says that Google is "actively engaged in the U.S. government's voluntary process for pre-release model access while we gradually expand access."
Kavukcuoglu says Gemini 4 Argon is already powering Google's …

Six major AI companies signed a voluntary agreement with the White House this week vowing to implement safeguards. It’s unclear how much that matters.

Young workers are being asked to deliver the social rituals of an older economy without receiving its promises in return

Despite its remarkable animation straining under the weight of too many narrative threads, Kyoto Animation’s steampunk‑adjacent Netflix anime still lets its humor, heart, and drama shine through.

The number of roving surveillance machines is growing by the day.

A soft robotic hip exosuit helped older adults stand up from a chair more quickly and complete more sit-to-stand repetitions while preserving largely natural movement patterns. During six-minute walking tests, the suit reduced the average metabolic cost of transport by 13.6%, although individual responses varied widely and two participants used more energy with assistance. The 2.86-kilogram device uses thigh sensors, machine-learning-based movement recognition and artificial tendons to deliver hip assistance, but larger and longer real-world studies are still needed. Rising from a chair can become surprisingly demanding with age. The movement requires enough strength, coordination and balance to shift the body...

'Techtember' has come and gone, and it's left us with literal mountains of tech.

OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse are vying to be your AI agent of choice. I've tried both—and I suspect you will too.

Whatever it is, it's probably good for people who've been buying Slovenian domain names.

“We’re furries at home, and we’re airline pilots at work, and these are two separate things,” says one member of the community in response to senator Tommy Tuberville's recent rant.

In her new book on biological warfare, Annie Jacobsen didn’t even discuss AI because scientists can already warp Mother Nature to create extinction-level events.

Listen to the podcast or read the full transcript here. I’m Adam Omary, a psychologist and research fellow at Human Progress. Today I’m joined by Jonathan Alpert, the author of Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It’s Left Us More Anxious and Divided. I should begin by mentioning that, although the subject we’re talking about today, psychiatric overdiagnosis and the therapization of culture, is a problem in America, particularly in terms of mental health spending and psychiatric medication, we’re seeing similar trends across the developed world. I’ve termed it the psychological paradox of progress. However, many people, when they see rising rates of depression and anxiety,...

“The U.S. and China have reached a deal to lower tariffs on $30 billion of "non-sensitive goods" as part of a trade package agreed at this week's summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping, the White House said… How it works: The Trump administration said China would lower its tariffs on some agricultural goods and seafood, wood products, cosmetics, and medical devices. The U.S. will cut tariffs on small appliances, toys, holiday decorations, and kids' car seats.” From Axios.

“The world’s largest and most powerful launch vehicle, SpaceX’s Starship, has just launched into orbit for the first time and deployed 26 of the company’s higher-performing Starlink V3 internet satellites. The uncrewed Starship Flight 14 lifted from the company’s Starbase site in Texas at around 7:46 am CT, on Monday, September 28. The historic departure marked the vehicle’s 14th integrated flight and the first aimed at sending the vehicle into orbit around Earth. The 407-foot-tall (124 meter) rocket consists of the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage. If the mission proceeds as planned, Starship will reportedly complete about six orbits around Earth during a nearly 10-hour flight, its...

Planning a backyard movie night takes more than a projector and a sheet, so here's what to sort out before guests arrive

It’s been true for a while now that Apple’s AirPods have been effectively disposable, with [iFixit] slapping each successive generation with an abysmal 0/10 repairability score. The moment that any of the built-in batteries faltered you could effectively toss the whole package out as e-waste. Interestingly, with the fifth generation it would seem that a battery swap in the earbuds is now actually possible without whole-scale destruction, according to the [iFixit] teardown video.
Although it’s still a far cry from the demonstrated FairBuds battery replacement, this time around a bit of gentle heat allows for the glued-together earbud to cleanly separate, with inside a socketed coin cell. The catch here is...

Sam Altman onstage at OpenAI’s DevDay 2026. | Photo: Hayden Field / The Verge While AI has made plenty of inroads on people's phones and computers, it's largely failed in dedicated devices. But over the next year, two major AI companies, Meta and OpenAI, will attempt to change that. And they're apparently betting on a similar path: testing appetites for physical hardware with their cutesy software agents. "Hardware is hard" is a tech industry mantra. Dedicated AI devices like the Friend and Humane AI Pin have inspired mainly frustration and backlash, which may only worsen as public anger toward AI grows. Meta and OpenAI, however, are both pushing ahead. OpenAI is working with famed ex-Apple designer Jony Ive...

Researchers at Binghamton University developed a paper-based wallpaper that harvests electricity from indoor humidity while hiding its electrical connections behind the wall-facing surface. A single generator produced about 0.34 volts and a peak power density of 2.2 microwatts per square centimeter at 80% relative humidity, while a 1,596-unit array powered a wireless keyboard. The prototype also absorbed and released moisture as humidity changed, but long-term durability, higher power output and operation over months or years remain unresolved. Walls normally consume energy indirectly through heating, cooling and ventilation. Researchers have now demonstrated a paper-based wall covering that does something...

“Digger”, réalisé par Alejandro González Iñárritu, avec Tom Cruise en tête d’affiche, était très attendu. Sorti ce 30 septembre en France, le film en forme de farce sur la crise écologique a beaucoup déplu à la presse américaine. Et les journalistes ne se sont pas gênés pour écrire des critiques aussi colorées que le film.

Mercredi 30 septembre, une cour d’appel fédérale américaine a décidé de suspendre l’exécution de Christa Pike dans le Tennessee. Condamnée à mort en 1996, à tout juste 20 ans, elle devait être la première femme mise à mort aux États-Unis depuis 2023 et la première dans cet État depuis plus de deux cents ans.

Reddit is further limiting who can use the "Old Reddit" experience as part of its efforts to combat scraping and automated traffic. Reddit recently started forcing users to log in to be able to use Old Reddit, but in the "next few months," the company says that you'll have to be logged in and have used Old Reddit within the last six months from when the change rolls out to be able to continue browsing the platform with the classic experience. Reddit says the six-month window covers "the vast majority of all Old Reddit users." The announcement didn't go into detail, but it's clearly aimed at blocking not just new account creation for bots, …

The melodramatic power of Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway is squandered in a romantic tale that’s ludicrously muddled by suspicions of monstrous misdeeds.

La chronique phénomène du “New York Times” sur l’amour vous est proposée en exclusivité, traduite en français par “Courrier international”.

Amazon deliveries could soon come with a new catch: the delivery driver's smart glasses will be snapping photos of anything they see while they're in use, including people and private property. Bloomberg reports that the glasses could take "several thousand captures in a single driver's typical shift," which Amazon plans to upload to its AI Wellspring platform. When asked if customers will be able to opt-out of this, Amazon's Viraj Chatterjee told Bloomberg, "We haven't thought about that." Chatterjee claimed Amazon's only using the data from the glasses to "enhance the delivery process," adding, "The intent has never been stuff like surve …

Thirty-one migrants died when their boat went down in November 2021. The trial found that the guilty men were part of two smuggling networks.

L’enquête de “Mediapart” attribuant à Jordan Bardella des propos antisémites tenus en 2013 suscite un énorme écho dans la presse internationale. Après des années de dédiabolisation intensive mise en œuvre par l’ancien parti de Jean-Marie Le Pen, les médias écrivent sur les “tirades antisémites de la pire espèce” et sur un scandale qui n’est “qu’aux prémices”.

Some 1,500 people have been removed to France since the scheme began just over a year ago.

Des actions ont eu lieu dans des établissements en Ile-de-France, à Lyon, Strasbourg ou Nice, le principal syndicat appelant à une poursuite de la mobilisation et à une rencontre avec le ministre de l’éducation. Ce dernier a annoncé que 119 élèves et personnels ont été blessés depuis le début du mouvement.

New uranium-lead dating of zircons from Oklahoma’s buried Ames impact structure points to a Late Devonian age near 370 million years, roughly 100 million years younger than its traditional Ordovician assignment. The revised chronology removes Ames from a group of craters used to support the hypothesis that Earth may have possessed an asteroid-debris ring during the Ordovician. The new age overlaps the broader interval of the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction, but researchers stress that more dating is needed before connecting the Ames impact directly with that biological crisis. A meteorite crater buried beneath northern Oklahoma may belong to a completely different chapter of Earth’s history than...

After many months of painstaking work, [AlfMart CNC Garage] over at YouTube has finally reached the stage where he can fully assemble his DIY jet turbine and commence testing. Even if deceptively simple devices, just the starting mechanism turned out to be a challenge. Due to the extreme conditions that these jet turbines operate under, tolerances are narrow, and many of the materials require careful selecting and testing.
Fortunately this is not true for the outer casing, which is cobbled together from a commercial gas cylinder and a children’s steel drinking bottle that so happened to have the right dimensions. From there the parts get increasingly more specialized, down to the carefully balanced rotor....

Le vol, parti de Dubaï, a atterri mercredi en urgence en Arabie saoudite, après qu’un des pilotes a poignardé l’autre. Les autorités israéliennes n’excluent ni une attaque terroriste ni un geste suicidaire.

Depuis quelques jours, la scène PlayStation 5 a un nouveau nom en bouche : Relapse !
Il s'agit d'un tout nouvel exploit qui vise assez large puisqu'il "libère" les consoles jusqu'alors restées bloquées du firmware 7.00 jusqu'à la version 13.60, pour les PS5 comme les PS5 Pro. C'est d'autant plus impressionnant que c'est la première fois qu'une faille kernel publique va aussi loin...
Mais ce qui a fait réagir tout le monde surtout, c'est la vitesse ! Car l'ancienne méthode, baptisée P2JB, pouvait prendre jusqu'à cinquante minutes avant que le jailbreak n'aboutisse, alors que Relapse, lui, fait le taf en quelques secondes à peine.
Pour réaliser ce jailbreak, il faut d'abord faire pointer le DNS de la...

Ancient rocks from South Africa reveal that phosphorus recycling helped sustain bursts of biological productivity and oxygen production during Earth’s Great Oxidation Event more than 2.3 billion years ago. Rising oxygen increased sulfate delivery to the oceans, which helped release phosphorus from marine sediments and return it to seawater, creating a feedback that promoted further organic carbon burial and oxygen accumulation. The same evidence shows that early oxygenation was far less stable than once thought, with the atmosphere and oceans repeatedly shifting between oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions over tens of millions of years. Earth’s atmosphere did not become oxygen-rich in one clean...

Contemplate the events that might end a space mission, and you might picture something dramatic: detonation on the pad, a dead guidance system, or micrometeoroids shattering delicate solar panels. More often, though, the ending is far more mundane. Plenty of perfectly healthy spacecraft have been retired simply because the fuel tanks ran dry. That’s why mission planners guard every kilogram of go juice so jealously, and why careful preparation in a mission is critical to long-term success.
Which brings us to NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Barely two weeks after its August 30 launch on a Falcon Heavy, the mission team announced that Roman now has enough fuel for at least 22 years of science...

Le chef de l’Etat a réagi, de Madrid, à l’enquête de « Mediapart » qui rapporte des propos antisémites de Jordan Bardella lorsqu’il était jeune militant du FN. « Après le 7 octobre 2023, j’ai marché dans les rues de Paris, et me suis rendu en Israël. Pas lui », a réagi le président du RN.

At the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., attendees talked less about jobs and policy, and more about their philosophy of life.

A holographic QCD calculation found that the decay pattern of the scalar meson f0(1710) closely matches what could be expected from a glueball, a hypothetical particle built mainly from gluons. The model explained why f0(1710) decays unusually often into kaons and eta mesons, behavior that had previously complicated its interpretation as a glueball. Later experiments strengthened the case that f0(1710) contains substantial gluonic content, but recent lattice studies show that identifying any scalar resonance as a predominantly pure glueball remains unsettled. Ordinary matter is built from particles such as quarks and electrons, but quantum chromodynamics predicts something far stranger: particles constructed...

Ever wanted a spreadsheet as an executable with a built-in terminal interface? No? Well, that’s a pity because [Roberto Alsina]’s Sheety project does exactly that.
Sheety compiles spreadsheet definitions into a self-contained, executable binary with zero runtime dependencies. It presents a simple terminal application (with mouse support) in which one can browse and edit data and formulas with a simple interface. As far as formats go it can import and export Excel files, or a human-readable .yaml file.
When Sheety runs, the data and formulas defined are compiled into a self-contained executable with the formulas baked in, and that’s actually what one sees and uses. If a formula gets changed in the UI, a...

Every few years, rightsholders get the opportunity to tell the European Commission which pirate sites and services deserve a spot on its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List.
These submissions traditionally focus on torrent sites, cyberlockers and pirate IPTV services. In recent editions, however, intermediaries such as hosting companies and Cloudflare have been added to the mix.
LaLiga takes this expanding reach a step further. In its submission for the 2027 edition, the Spanish football league asks for NordVPN, ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN and Surfshark to be listed. The 14-page submission targets a wide range of sites and services, including traditional piracy threats, but the VPN section is new. The league notes...
