Airfare hasn’t escaped the tumult: US airfares are up 14.9 percent compared to a year ago, according to NerdWallet, largely due to fuel price spikes linked to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz caused by blockages, bombs, and blockades.While the medium-term outlook for the airline business isn’t great, there are still a few smart and tricky ways to save a little money when flying this summer. These are tips I’ve learned from covering transportation for more than a decade, and from…
The 2nm process node is the most advanced, cutting-edge node in the industry, and it’s none other than TSMC leading the next-generation wave of advanced chips. The Taiwanese chip giant has managed to achieve yields favorable for mass-producing 2nm wafers, but unfortunately, that is not enough to meet demand for AI chips and mobile SoCs, forcing smartphone brands to opt for silicon downgrades later this year. According to a reliable Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, multiple smartphone brands will offer fully equipped SoCs only in their top-of-the-line “Ultra” or “Pro Max” models because of rising memory costs and the chip…

Many of those students have used their ULI experience as a springboard to careers in aviation. And many of their ideas…
DeepSeek has released its latest AI models, the V4 Pro and Flash versions, a bit over a year after it went viral and became the top rated free app on Apple’s App Store in the US. “Welcome to the era of cost-effective 1 million context length,” DeepSeek said in its announcement. Context length is what you call the maximum number of tokens that an AI model can remember, so the bigger it is, the more coherent and consistent an AI is when it comes to extended conversations. OpenAI’s recently announced GPT‑5.5 has a context window ranging from 400,000 to 1…
The New VX4 arrives in Eco mode, which has a top speed of 15 miles per hour. That’ll get you where you’re going, but it’s not going to give you goose bumps. Curiously, Sport mode also tops out at 15 miles per hour, but it gets you there fast. The torque is so powerful in sport mode that it took most of my first ride to learn to brace myself against the rapid acceleration.In addition to the speed modes, you can also control the start settings (roll or throttle), top speeds, password settings, and more on the app, which is…

Anthropic’s unveiling of its Claude Mythos Preview model alongside Project Glasswing is prompting widespread scrutiny as experts warn that the artificial intelligence (AI) system’s capabilities could accelerate the discovery and exploitation of software vulnerabilities.Anthropic is keeping Mythos locked inside Project Glasswing — the company’s attempt to contain and direct the model — thus limiting access to a small group of big tech companies focused on cybersecurity. Anthropic’s decision not to release Mythos publicly has quickly fueled claims that the model is “too powerful” for wider use.However, that containment has already come under pressure.
