For one thing, the systems he imagines process data relatively slowly compared to those on terra firma. They’d be constantly bombarded by radiation, and “obsolescence would be a problem” because making repairs or upgrades would be confoundingly difficult. Hajimiri believes that data centers in space could, someday, be a viable solution but hesitates to say when that day might come. “Definitely it would be doable in a few years,” he said. “The question is how effective they would be, and how cost-effective they would become.”The idea of simply putting data centers in orbit is not limited to the offhand musings…

By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you kill a conservative, we will cover for you. We will whitewash the murder because we don’t think conservatives deserve to live. Kill more. Assassinate more. We have your back.

IBM researchers, together with ETH Zürich, have unveiled a new class of Analog Foundation Models (AFMs) designed to bridge the gap between large language models (LLMs) and Analog In-Memory Computing (AIMC) hardware. AIMC has long promised a radical leap in efficiency—running models with a billion parameters in a footprint small enough for embedded or edge devices—thanks to dense non-volatile memory (NVM) that combines storage and computation. But the technology’s Achilles’ heel has been noise: performing matrix-vector multiplications directly inside NVM devices yields non-deterministic errors that cripple off-the-shelf models. Why does analog computing matter for LLMs? Unlike GPUs or TPUs that…

Security researchers are warning about a max-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) that could potentially allow attackers to impersonate any user in any tenant, including Global Administrators, without triggering MFA, conditional Access, or leaving any normal login or audit trail. The flaw, first reported by red-teamer Dirk-jan Mollema, exploited “Actor tokens,” a hidden Microsoft mechanism normally used for internal delegation, by manipulating a legacy API that failed to validate the originating tenant.According to Mitiga’s further breakdown of the exploit, an attacker in a benign environment could request an Actor token, then use it to pose as…

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, meeting new people has never been easier. LinkedIn messages arrive in your inbox, networking events seem to appear every week, Zoom calls can introduce you to someone on the other side of the country—or even the world—social media groups create communities based on shared interests, and casual introductions from friends or colleagues happen more often than we realise. It is almost effortless to expand your network, and the advice we are constantly given is to take advantage of every opportunity. The reasoning is simple: the more people you know, the more doors will open. And…

Ethereum’s institutional narrative is strengthening as US-based Spot ETF trackers witnessed another week of inflows last week. BlackRock’s ETHA fund captured the majority of this activity with more than half a billion dollars in new investments, while other ETFs struggled with minor outflows.  At the same time, technical patterns are aligning with this buying pressure, which has given many analysts confidence that the Ethereum price could be preparing to push towards its all-time high in the coming weeks.

Tech-focused venture capital firm YZi Labs has increased its stake in Ethena, the stablecoin issuer behind USDe, which will assist the digital dollar’s adoption across decentralized and centralized platforms.The investment will assist Ethena USDe’s (USDe) expansion on BNB Chain while enabling Ethena to continue building its USDtb stablecoin and an institutional settlement layer, “Converge,” Changpeng Zhao’s YZi Labs said in a statement on Friday.USDtb is backed by short-duration treasury assets, including BlackRock’s BUIDL, while Converge is an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible chain focused on tokenizing real-world assets. The move supports YZi’s mission to “support open, scalable digital dollar infrastructures that can…

December marks a month of continued progress in the Ethereum ecosystem. Research on proof of stake and sharding continues after the research team’s workshop in Singapore in November, the light client slowly keeps getting better, Whisper and Swarm keep moving forward, and discussions on protocol economics and community governance continue to mature. First, privacy technologies on Ethereum, and particularly zk-SNARKs (or “zero knowledge proofs”), have been rapidly moving forward. Vlad Zamfir has taken it upon himself to explain the history behind Casper, from his point of view: On proof of stake from myself: Vlad has also taken it upon himself to rail against…

The year 2025 has already positioned itself as one of the most exciting times in crypto history. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain dominant forces, the spotlight has shifted toward crypto presales in 2025, which are attracting investors with high ROI potential and strong community backing. Unlike traditional market entries, presales allow early investors to secure tokens at discounted prices before listings drive prices upward. Among the most talked-about names are BlockDAG, with its explosive fundraising and adoption; Maxi Doge, capitalizing on Dogecoin’s legacy with hype-driven utility; PepeNode, bringing a unique mine-to-earn model; and Wall Street Pepe, blending meme energy with cross-chain…
