After months of hard work from the eth2 research team, along with Consensys and DeepWork Studio, we’re happy to announce the release of the eth2 validator launchpad (testnet version). We’re releasing it now so that you can keep track of, and make deposits into, the upcoming Medalla multi-client testnet. But we’ll continue to fine-tune the interface in the run-up to mainnet launch. The idea behind the launchpad is to make the process of becoming an eth2 validator as easy as possible, without compromising on security and education. In contrast to using a third-party service, running your own validator comes with…

A follow-up question about the final score was answered correctly, but Gemini got the name of the scorer of the first touchdown wrong: The AI suggested it was Johan Dotson. Dotson was shown getting a touchdown in the highlights with the scores at 0-0, but it was ruled out—an example of the nuances that AI doesn’t necessarily pick up on.Gemini did successfully identify when the Kansas City Chiefs got their first points, and even included a timestamp linking straight to the touchdown in the YouTube clip. It also got the name of the scorer right. It seems Gemini is heavily…
On April 3, 2025, Theodore McCarrick died in quiet exile. No Mass. No eulogy. No public mourning. Rome responded through two of America’s most important bishops, who offered clinical statements about the ex-cardinal who was exposed as a serial predator after decades of sexual abuse – targeting seminarians, minors, and vulnerable clergy – shattered the Catholic Church’s moral credibility. His meteoric rise from Archbishop of Newark to global influence masked corruption, enabled by silence.
Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP) interdisciplinary research group of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with MIT, A*STAR Skin Research Labs, and the National University of Singapore, have developed a novel method that can quickly and automatically detect and monitor microbial contamination in cell therapy products (CTPs) early on during the manufacturing process. By measuring ultraviolet light absorbance of cell culture fluids and using machine learning to recognize light absorption patterns associated with microbial contamination, this preliminary testing method aims to reduce the overall time taken for sterility…
Falco was blind to Curing, while Defender was unable to detect either Curing or a range of other common malware. Tetragon, on the other hand, was able to detect io_uring, but only when using Kprobes and LSM hooks, which Armo said are not used by default. According to Armo, the problem with all three is an over-reliance on Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) based agents, which monitor system calls as a simple approach to gaining visibility of threats. Despite the benefits of this, not everyone in the industry thinks this is a good design. “System calls aren’t always guaranteed to…
Bitcoin mining has come a long way since the days of GPUs and basement set ups. In that time, miners have advanced in countless ways. For example, ASICs are now the standard, not GPUs. Furthermore, enterprise grade players have entered the field, opening new frontiers and bringing with them the size and institutional recognition that opens the doors to otherwise unreachable places for smaller miners. Nowadays, the mining landscape is one where grid services, curtailment strategies, and energy market participation are no longer edge cases but core strategies. As the world around it has moved forward, there’s one question we…
