iPadOS 27 still needs simpler multitasking, here’s what I’d like to see
Last year, Apple completely reinvented multitasking on the iPad, with the introduction of windowing in iPadOS 26. At first, this meant the removal of the simpler version of multitasking, Split View and Slide Over. Those features did eventually return, but at a cost – they required you to use the clunky new windowing system. I […]

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on – counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds – are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be […]
Google’s TabFM skips per-dataset training and still predicts on tables it’s never seen
The vast majority of business data is tabular — living in data warehouses, CRMs, and financial ledgers — yet building a reliable model from it still means training a new one from scratch for every dataset, then maintaining hyperparameter tuning loops, feature engineering, and retraining pipelines to fight data drift. Google Research is proposing a […]

Volkswagen’s ID. Unyx 09 doesn’t look like any VW I’ve seen, and I want it in the US

Unyx 09 might be the moment it finally gets exciting, not just for Chinese buyers, but for the rest of the world as well. Regulatory filings from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Batch 409, have exposed […]
WWII Fighter Plane Goes On Machine Gun Run After 80 Years On The Sidelines
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was a staple of the early Allied air effort in World War II. It may get overshadowed by planes like the P-51 Mustang or the bizarrely shaped P-38 Lightning, but the Warhawk served in nearly every theater of the war and was already flying combat […]
Researchers hid a prompt injection inside a PNG, and AI fell for it
AI coding assistants like Claude are becoming every developer’s favorite coworker. They can review code, explain confusing functions, and even write entire features with a single prompt. But new research suggests that this growing trust could also become their biggest weakness. A team of security researchers (professor Sudipta Chattopadhyay and researcher Murali Ediga) has demonstrated […]
