HAWK withstood years of testing that had yet to uncover a fatal weakness found through Mythos. A quantum-resistant cryptography algorithm that was under consideration as an official US standard has been taken out of the running after an Anthropic security model helped find a flaw that rendered it broken.…
Google’s new API relies on parents to set age ranges in Family Link. Governments around the world are suddenly very keen on online age verification requirements. In some places, this takes the form of ID requirements to access adult content, but several US states have also focused on app…
Companies are making sure we have a surplus of options for building qubits. If you follow quantum computing news for long enough, it can start to seem like any quantum system that can alternate between two well-separated energy states can be used as a qubit. Atoms, ions, photons, electrons,…
Improved efficiency in EPP mode leads to ~32% jump in “1% low” frame rates. As the Steam Deck slowly marches toward its fifth birthday next February, owners are likely eager for a way to extend its life rather than investing in expensive high-end competition. A new patch for AMD’s…
AI is fantastic at spotting patterns, but human insight is the key. Every ancient language that has ever been deciphered needed an anchor. Usually that’s a bilingual text, like the Rosetta Stone, or a known relative to compare it to. Linear A, the writing system of the Bronze Age…
The new full-size flagship SUV starts at $87,700 when it goes on sale in Q4. Audi provided flights from Washington, DC, to Munich, Germany, and accommodation so Ars could see the Q9 and Q7. And we also drove the new RS5. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. MUNICH—It…
“Preliminary investigation shows that two of Link’s three reaction wheels currently are not operable.” Nearly a month since its launch, a first-of-its-kind commercial satellite built to save NASA’s Swift gamma-ray telescope from a fiery reentry is having problems of its own, the agency announced Tuesday. The Link satellite developed…
10 days passed from OpenAI models exploiting JFrog Artifactory 0-day to release of a patch. Last week’s unprecedented security event in which two OpenAI security hacking models trespassed into the network of fellow AI company Hugging Face was enabled by exploiting one or more zero-day vulnerabilities in Artifactory, JFrog,…
“We’re in the realm where we might be essentially killing off everything within that first hour or two.” Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid impact wiped out three-quarters of all plant and animal species on Earth, most notably taking down the dinosaurs. But exactly how that impact caused…
Record flight shows viability of Qantas Airways’ Project Sunrise routes in 2027. A new Airbus passenger jet completed an ultra-long test flight between Australia and France lasting more than 24 hours—paving the way for the world’s longest nonstop commercial flights starting up next year. The Airbus A350-1000ULR was developed…
