WhatsApp and Apple notified Italian journalists and activists that they had been targeted by Graphite spyware, developed by Israeli-American company Paragon Solutions. The case turned into a political scandal in Italy, with several victims filing criminal complaints and prosecutors launching formal investigations. Italian prosecutors sent a formal request for information to Paragon through the Israeli government, but a year later the company has still not responded, going back on its earlier...

Google confirmed last Friday an investment of up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the creator of the Claude models, with $10 billion deployed immediately and the remaining $30 billion contingent on the company hitting certain performance milestones. Anthropic's valuation was set at $350 billion, the same level recorded in a funding round back in February, not counting the capital recently raised. For those following the sector, this deal doesn't come out of nowhere. Anthropic CEO Dario...

Git 2.54 just dropped and there's a lot of good stuff packed into this release. The one that caught my eye the most is `git history`, a new experimental command that tackles that annoying situation where you just want to fix a commit message a few commits back, or split a commit in two, without having to spin up a full interactive rebase. It works cleanly, without touching the working tree, and even runs on bare repositories. For anyone using Git daily, that alone is worth the...

Yeah, I thought the same thing. It really feels like a clash of worlds. But at the same time, these kinds of mixes sometimes lead to unexpected ideas. Who knows, maybe something totally out of the box would come from it.

This article is essentially one of those strong warnings about how artificial intelligence could reshape not only jobs, but even the way governments fund themselves. The core idea comes from a discussion sparked by a digital finance entrepreneur, suggesting something quite radical: within a few years, income tax could lose relevance because many people might no longer rely on traditional employment income. Instead, tax revenue could shift toward AI infrastructure, such as data centers and...

This is the kind of situation that has almost become routine when it comes to GTA 6, and at the same time it never stops grabbing attention. <br>What’s happening, according to reports, is that a group is claiming to have access to internal Rockstar data and is using it as leverage: either the company pays, or parts of the material get leaked. Rockstar has already confirmed there was a breach through a third-party service, but insists it was limited and had no impact on players or the...

Oracle laid off 30,000 people by email, at 6 in the morning, no warning, no conversation, no face. In the same moment, it cancelled all unvested RSUs — compensation that had been promised, sometimes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, gone before breakfast. The company was not in distress. Net income had jumped 95% the previous quarter. It simply decided that payroll is a less efficient resource than servers, and acted accordingly. What makes this case different from an ordinary...

But let's be honest — which Big Tech CEO would answer that question head-on? The more interesting point in the article for me is structural: OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit with an obligation to prioritize humanity's safety above profit, and now it's one of the highest valuations in the world. The question isn't just "can you trust Altman" — it's "can you trust a structure that contradicts its own founding principles."

Neal Mohan's reasoning makes sense: YouTube is the launchpad, and nobody abandons the launchpad after they've learned to fly. But the real question is — how long will creators actually need the launchpad if Netflix and Amazon are already offering the Olympic pool directly?

I'm an old-school programmer, I don't need any of these packages.

whatt?

really interesting

coool

I got your point. But I also think programming has become crap because of companies like Facebook and Google. That's why I'm of the opinion that the difficulty comes when you think that learning trendy things makes you a better programmer. Stick to and build your tools with the language you know best, and the rest is just the rest :) <br>Read this article and tell me what you think? https://www.cs.unc.edu/~stotts/COMP590-059-f24/robsrules.html

I asked chtgpt to build me a website, and he created something similar to Xvideos :D

A good solution would be to move to less developed European countries where human labor is still in demand.
