A major VAT reform unveiled in the Budget is expected to unlock millions of pounds’ worth of surplus goods for charity and significantly reduce the volume of usable products sent to landfill. From 1 April 2026, businesses will be able to donate goods to registered charities without incurring a VAT charge, removing a long-criticised tax barrier that has deterred companies from giving away unsold, returned or surplus items. Under current rules, gifting goods — even to a charity — can trigger VAT on a “deemed supply” basis, meaning many firms choose to destroy stock rather than shoulder a tax liability.…

Part I Sometimes Ethereum is compared to a singleton Virtual Machine.  While this is correct in some sense; I think it is a bit more. First of all what is a singleton in a distributed system? It is merely a set of values that some threshold of participants have come to consensus on.  A Virtual Machine is a computational environment that is isolated from the physical computer and from other environments. A hypervisor allows the physical machine to be multiplexed into many VMs. According to this definition a common hypervisor is the web browser where webpages are VMs. Another example…

Zoë Schiffer: Yeah, I think that one thing that everyone can agree on is that Nvidia is undoubtedly one of the companies that has gone all in during this AI acceleration moment. For better or worse, about 90 percent of Nvidia’s sales, which were once dominated by chips for personal gaming computers now come from its data center business, and it feels like every time one of these partnerships between OpenAI and another company, Nvidia’s in there somewhere, it just feels like it’s attached to everyone else in this industry at this point.Max Zeff: Yeah, it’s done a great job…

More than 300 people across academia and industry spilled into an auditorium to attend a BoltzGen seminar on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (MIT Jameel Clinic). Headlining the event was MIT PhD student and BoltzGen’s first author Hannes Stärk, who had announced BoltzGen just a few days prior.Building upon Boltz-2, an open-source biomolecular structure prediction model predicting protein binding affinity that made waves over the summer, BoltzGen (officially released on Sunday, Oct. 26.) is the first model of its kind to go a step further by generating novel protein binders that are ready to…

Weak response The researchers identified many large organizations whose data was exposed in the URLs, including those in government, critical national infrastructure, healthcare, banking, and even a prominent cyber security company. One curious discovery was data posted by an MSSP: the Active Directory (AD) username and email credentials belonging to one of its clients, a large US bank. Given that the data wasn’t valid JSON, the researchers surmise that the individual who posted the data was simply using the service to generate a URL through which to share credentials. When the researchers tried to alert the affected companies to their…
