Jessica Hische knew working for Meta might upset some people. But she didn’t anticipate just how angry they would get.

Anthropic is making changes to its usage policy for the first time in over a year to reflect new and high-risk cases of misuse - including election interference, weapons development, surveillance, and health and financial uses. But one of the most significant changes prohibits "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior" toward Claude. Last August, […]

Google announced through a short community post today that the LTE versions of the Pixel Watch 2 and 3 are losing free access to Safety Signal that allowed features like Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, and Safety Check to work through cellular networks without the need for a carrier plan. The connectivity was included as part […]

If Elon Musk and SpaceXAI were going to back any Linux distro, it seems obvious they'd back Omarchy. Today it was announced that SpaceXAI would be joining the Omacom Foundation, which oversees Omarchy, as a Founding Corporate Patron and donating $1.5 million worth of Grok tokens to David Heinemeier Hansson's Linux project. According to Hansson's […]

USA Today Co., along with the several local newspapers it owns, is suing OpenAI over claims that the company copied "hundreds of thousands" of articles to train its AI models, as reported earlier by Reuters. In a filing on Thursday, the publisher asks for damages of more than $250 million, alleging OpenAI's unauthorized use of […]

Playground Games first revealed earlier this year that Forza Horizon 6 would be arriving on PS5 in 2026, but the launch is now being pushed back. I reported last month that there would be a delay to early next year, and Forza Horizon 6 is now officially debuting on January 26th, 2027. The delay means […]

After covering Amazon’s October sale for the last few days, only one item found its way into my shopping cart, and, lucky for you, it’s still on sale after the event’s conclusion. Pokémon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 is $39.88 (usually $59.99 for Switch or $69.99 for Switch 2) at Amazon. […]

Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO in September, handing over the top job to former hardware chief John Ternus and taking an executive chairman role. Cook's still a visible representative of the company, having been recently photographed attending a state dinner at the White House. But in an interview with The Independent, Cook says […]

Cyberpunk 2077 is heading to the big screen. Deadline reports that CD Projekt Red's popular sci-fi video game franchise is being adapted into a live-action film by Paramount Pictures. There's no details just yet on when the film might premiere. But Deadline says that Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who is known for producing the Transformers films, […]

Windows Search has been one of the most frustrating parts of Windows 11, and now Microsoft is addressing this with a significant overhaul. A new redesigned Windows Search is now in testing that is much faster, more capable, and a lot more modern. "This new Windows Search experience is built for speed," says Anshul Rawat, […]

Four men detained at an ICE detention center in rural Georgia used the facility's video conferencing software to expose both the conditions inside and President Donald Trump's hostile takeover of the immigration courts. In the five-minute video, the men describe an intentionally dysfunctional legal system designed to keep them trapped in federal custody for months […]

Boston, are you ready?! TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026 is about to explode with energy — and the real magic kicks off with an epic lineup of Side Events lighting up the city from November 3–6!

Goodfire just launched what it says is a cheaper way to keep AI agents in check: Instead of paying a second AI to read everything an agent does, its monitors peek inside the model while it works and only call in backup when something looks fishy.

Richard Bronson, a former Stratton Oakmont partner who served time in federal prison for securities violations, has launched Commissary Club, a startup that uses AI to help people leaving prison find jobs, housing, community, and even dates.

OpenAI's flood of proofs deviated from the guidelines set by a group of mathematical researchers consulted by the frontier lab.

Anthropic's updated usage policy explicitly prohibits users from repeatedly abusing Claude in extreme cases, though ordinary frustration and criticism are still allowed. The new rules also address election interference, deceptive campaigns, weapons software, and surveillance.

Google is turning Gemini into an AI agent that can plan, execute tasks, and work across business apps and systems. The agent can delegate work to subagents, use multiple AI models, and even gets its own workplace identity, complete with an email address.

It had previously been reported that the AI lab's annualized revenue was some $70 billion, but a new report claims it's a whole lot less than that.

The company behind the popular LMArena leaderboard has raised $200 million led by Lightspeed and Khosla, and is now measuring AI models on alignment issues such as lying.

Ben Affleck is going viral for his deep knowledge of AI, from neural networks and transformers to open weights. The actor, who sold his AI filmmaking startup to Netflix earlier this year, is proving he's more than just a Hollywood star.

A fictionalized Sam Bankman-Fried is coming to your TV screen on November 19.

I kept rebuilding the same failure: five agents in one chat window, no memory of what was blocked, and a "done" that nobody had checked. Better prompts did not fix it. A bigger model did not fix it either. Structure did. A company has a board, roles with defined handoffs, a gate before anything ships, and a budget someone is actually watching. So I wrote that scaffolding down as code instead of vibes: four Python modules, standard library only, plus a five-role roster and a demo you can run o...

I built a GPU transfer-learning workflow for 104-class flower recognition and tried to report it honestly, including the gap between validation and held-out test scores. Repo: https://github.com/officialpm/flower-classification This is an evaluated model workflow, not a deployed flower-identification product. The approach Verify TFRecord feature names, counts and that all 104 classes appear in training and validation. Load an ImageNet-pretrained Efficien...

Hi, I’m Sakshi Yadav. I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech Computer Science student at Gyan Ganga Institute of Technology and Science, Jabalpur. I’m interested in software development and currently improving my skills in C++, JavaScript, and DSA. I’m a quick learner, enjoy connecting with people, and I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, build projects, and grow as a software engineer.

This week I built my first landing card UI using only HTML and CSS, and it taught me more than I expected about the basics. I started with a simple card containing a heading, a short paragraph, and a button, and tried to make it look clean on both a laptop and a phone screen. The first lesson was structure. Using semantic HTML helped a lot: a main section for the page, a heading in the right order, and a real button element instead of a styled div. When the structure was clear, the CSS became...

TL;DR: Moderate an edtech avatar at upload, publish a new opaque asset key only after approval, and replace the profile reference with a tombstone before deleting bytes. On-demand processing is the runner-up for private drafts and rarely viewed images. A versioned URL prevents a replacement from colliding with an older representation; it does not, by itself, make an already shared URL stop loading. Decision Upload-time processing On-demand processing Before an avatar goes...

This week a five-ticker cash-flow check here on DEV came back without Ford's 2025 row. The data was there; the tag wasn't. Ford's 2025 10-K reports the year's result as ProfitLoss and never uses us-gaap:NetIncomeLoss , so a pipeline that asks for NetIncomeLoss sees Ford's annual figures stop at 2024. I wanted to know how common that is, so I checked every SEC filer. I build Equibles , which serves these SEC facts to ChatGPT and Claude over MCP, but everything below uses only SEC's fre...

The whole system on one page. Keep it open; we'll walk through every box. Picture a typical web shop. One team owns the product catalog, another owns orders, a third owns user profiles. In the beginning, everyone works in one frontend and one backend. It's simple, and that's fine. Then the company grows. Ten developers become fifty. Every release needs everyone to agree. A small bug on the profile page blocks the orders team from shipping. A routine library upgrade turns into a three-week...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Field Notes is a minimal doodle-themed outdoor prompt deck for people who want to get off their screens without turning “go outside” into another productivity task. Tap draw a field note to get a tiny observation prompt. There is also a try local Gemma button that generates a fresh prompt when Gemma is running locally. When it is not, the offline deck takes over immedi...

Even though I can build and maintain websites from scratch and have done it in the past (before Gatsby Cloud was merged in with Netlify and GitHub decided to suspend my account [ this is another story ]). This time, I just wanted a place to write things upon without spending additional time on managing stuff. Yes, customising a site deign could be fun and I could just write on Medium. But, after the recent experience with GitHub, I wanted a better control over ownership of the posts and need ...
