If I told you “The Claw” was being redeemed, would you first think of the Inspector Gadget villain or MSI’s hard-pressed handheld from earlier this year? Gizmodo and many other reviewers derided the MSI Claw A1M model for its lackluster performance and controls that didn’t match up to other handheld PCs. In my mind, its worst sin was its price. At the top end, the old 7-inch claw demanded $800. That’s what you currently pay for our pick for the best Windows-based handheld, the Asus ROG Ally X. So how does the all-new, bigger, pricier MSI Claw 8 AI+ stack…

In its initial responses, ChatGPT didn’t provide any links to products. But it easily supplied them when I asked, and while I didn’t click on every single one, none appeared to be a hallucination. Claude, on the other hand, apologized and said that it “cannot actually link to websites or products directly.” Anthropic hasn’t released a web search feature for Claude yet, but the company says it’s working on it.That technically made Claude the least useful chatbot I tested for shopping. But it also means that Anthropic has so far avoided wading into the ethically murky territory of allowing its…

Crafting a unique and promising research hypothesis is a fundamental skill for any scientist. It can also be time consuming: New PhD candidates might spend the first year of their program trying to decide exactly what to explore in their experiments. What if artificial intelligence could help?MIT researchers have created a way to autonomously generate and evaluate promising research hypotheses across fields, through human-AI collaboration. In a new paper, they describe how they used this framework to create evidence-driven hypotheses that align with unmet research needs in the field of biologically inspired materials.Published Wednesday in Advanced Materials, the study was…

Für CISOs ist der Bereich vor allem deshalb so wichtig, weil die allermeisten modernen, physischen Sicherheitssysteme respektive -kontrollen auf irgendeine Art und Weise mit der IT verknüpft sind – von Badges und Keycards bis hin zur Videoüberwachung. Kommt es zu einem unberechtigten (physischen) Zugriff, können daraus in der Folge zudem auch Cyberangriffe und Data Breaches erwachsen. Es sollte deshalb im Interesse eines jeden Sicherheitsentscheiders liegen, entsprechende Vorkehrungen zu treffen, um den Zugriff auf diese Assets zu kontrollieren. Das soll (und kann) nicht heißen, CISOs mit sämtlichen Tasks physischer Security zu betrauen. Zwar funktioniert es im Fall einiger kleinerer Unternehmen, die…

Sister Wives star Robyn Brown caught backlash last season for clutter, but this season even more strange things show up in the background when filming inside her house on the TLC series. For a while there, all the filming at Robyn’s house happened outside. Now the cameras come back inside this season. But some strange things pop up in the background again. And it looks different from what the fans eyed before. Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Weathers the Cold Last season on Sister Wives, Meri Brown shivered as she sat in Robyn Brown‘s yard with her for a visit. Fans…

Myenergi, a British startup that produces home chargers for electric vehicles and energy-saving devices, has swung from a £8.8 million profit to a pre-tax loss of £25 million in the year to May. The company, whose high-profile backers include former Tesco chief Sir Terry Leahy, blamed the downturn on weaker demand, intensifying competition, and a write-down of £10 million on unsold stock. Founded in 2016 by Lee Sutton and Jordan Brompton, Myenergi sells the popular Zappi home charger and technology that helps homeowners optimise power usage, particularly when generating their own electricity. However, in its latest results the company reported…
