Having starred in it, clearly Rhea Seehorn knows how season one of Pluribus ends. The finale is still a few weeks away (it’ll release on December 26), but in a new interview, she explains how the climax of the season made her feel, and her first thought after reading it. “It’s bananas,” the actress, who just got a Golden Globe nomination for her role on the show, told Deadline. “The same as the first episode. I have virtually the same reaction to all of them. I’m like, ‘What!?’ Then I’m like, ‘Holy crap. All right, let’s go.’ I mean, they…
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced the launch of a U.S. digital assets pilot program that will allow bitcoin, ethereum and the stablecoin USDC to be used as collateral in regulated derivatives markets, marking another major policy shift in how U.S. regulators approach tokenized assets. The move includes new guidance for tokenized collateral, a limited no-action framework for futures commission merchants (FCMs), and the withdrawal of legacy restrictions that the agency said are no longer relevant following passage of the GENIUS Act. Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham said the program is designed to expand the use of digital assets in…
Merkle trees are a fundamental part of what makes blockchains tick. Although it is definitely theoretically possible to make a blockchain without Merkle trees, simply by creating giant block headers that directly contain every transaction, doing so poses large scalability challenges that arguably puts the ability to trustlessly use blockchains out of the reach of all but the most powerful computers in the long term. Thanks to Merkle trees, it is possible to build Ethereum nodes that run on all computers and laptops large and small, smart phones, and even internet of things devices such as those that will be…

There is a grudging recognition that bringing the Arab powers to an implicit recognition of the right of Israel to exist is at least a tentative accomplishment.
Jina AI has released Jina-VLM, a 2.4B parameter vision language model that targets multilingual visual question answering and document understanding on constrained hardware. The model couples a SigLIP2 vision encoder with a Qwen3 language backbone and uses an attention pooling connector to reduce visual tokens while preserving spatial structure. Among open 2B scale VLMs, it reaches state of the art results on multilingual benchmarks such as MMMB and Multilingual MMBench. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.04032 Architecture, overlapping tiles with attention pooling connector Jina-VLM keeps the standard VLM layout, but optimizes the vision side for arbitrary resolution and low token count. The vision encoder is…
CVE superset The maintainers have now realized that the XXE injection flaw is not limited to this module. It affects additional Tika components, namely Apache Tika tika-core, versions 1.13 to 3.2.1, and tika-parsers versions 1.13 to 1.28.5. In addition, legacy Tika parsers versions 1.13 to 1.28.5 are also affected. Unusually – and confusingly – this means there are now two CVEs for the same issue, with the second, CVE-2025-66516, a superset of the first. Presumably, the reasoning behind issuing a second CVE is that it draws attention to the fact that people who patched CVE-2025-54988 are still at risk because…
