Anthropic’s IPO is confirmed for Wednesday next week.

These numbers are insane.

有个26岁的留学生，花了13美元从速卖通上淘了个树莓派Zero、一块电池和一块3.5寸小屏幕，自己焊了焊，拼了个小玩意儿出来

装了Ollama和Gemma 2b模型，全程离线跑，不用服务器也不用买API

就这么个巴掌大的东西，居然把Rockstar捂得严严实实的GTA VI预alpha版给撬开了

调试控制台、Lucia物品栏、水体物理……各种开发后台的东西全蹦出来了

这小孩就花了13美元和几个晚上，硬是捅了个大窟窿。#Polymarket

your HDMI cable can leak what’s on your screen

watch the laptop on the left. it reconstructs the video playing on the monitor beside it from radio signals leaking out of the HDMI connection

this is TempestSDR. an antenna picks up the leakage, a HackRF radio captures it, and software turns it back into an image

researchers took this further with Deep-TEMPEST, using AI to make recovered images and text easier to read. this clip shows the original technique

quality depends on shielding, distance and interference. the picture is imperfect, but recognizable content still gets through

a wired connection can still leave a wireless trace

5 AI AGENTS DESIGNED THE ENTIRE MEP FOR ONE APARTMENT AT THE SAME TIME

Each had one job: drains, water, air, power and fire sprinklers.

3 bed, 2 bath, 1,560 sq ft.

They worked independently, each trying different layouts. They didn't know what the others were doing.

The drain agent tested 1,749 layouts. The sprinkler agent tested 1,729. Between all five, they went through 4,871 layouts, rejecting most of them.

Then I brought all 5 systems together in one model.

11 clashes.

A hot water pipe ran straight through an exhaust duct. A sprinkler pipe ended up inside an air duct.

So I brought in a 6th agent to fix the mess. It moved a pipe drop 2 inches below the duct, shifted another duct 10 inches to clear the sprinkler, and got rid of all 11 clashes.

There was another problem. The water agent's first design made you wait 139 seconds for hot water in the main bathroom.

I sent it back. It added a recirculation loop. Now it's 5.6 seconds.

64 code checks at the end. All passed.

We built a new type of datacenter for AI inference. We call it NanoDC.

NanoDC is a solar-powered autonomous datacenter that can be deployed anywhere on the planet in 4 weeks.

11 Trillion will be invested in AI compute over the next 4 years. Most of this will be for inference and most of it will be severely delayed: stuck in grid interconnect queues, site permits, or supply chain issues. NanoDC sidesteps these issues completely.

NanoDC is built rapidly at a factory and shipped to the site ready to be turned on in 30 minutes. It generates its own power with solar and batteries. You open the door and the solar panels fold-out like an accordion. The compute is cooled with patent-pending high-density air cooling. It connects to the internet via Starlink.

No construction. No grid interconnect. No Water supply.

It never waits for transformers and turbine generators either.

Getting more compute is as easy as dropping more units and turning them on.

The first units will be live this month. Thousands will be shipping starting 2027.

Sunlight in. Tokens out.

BREAKING: 🇸🇪 Swedish grocery giant ICA, one of Sweden's largest supermarket chains, says several of its stores have been hit by a cyberattack overnight, causing refrigerators and freezers to be remotely set to 50°C.

The incident has likely resulted in large quantities of food spoiling. Multiple stores, including ICA Kvantum in Sjöbo and Tomelilla, have reported being affected.

ICA says stores will remain closed during the morning and are expected to reopen at 9:00 a.m. Swedish time.

The company has apologized to customers and says it is working to restore normal operations.

The incident comes amid a wave of cyberattacks targeting businesses recent weeks, following similar incidents reported in France and the United States.

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.

First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.

Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.

At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.

But apparently, he had already planned for that.

Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.

Then he walked away.

That’s where the story gets crazy.

Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.

But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.

So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.

And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.

Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.

But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.

Pretty insane when you think about it.

家人们，苹果的刀法已经进化到“反人类”的境界了！
如果你买了 256G 或 512G 的 M4 iPad Pro，我现在告诉你一个可能会让你血压飙升的真相：
你手里的平板，主板上其实焊着足足 12GB 的内存！但苹果硬生生给你锁死了 4GB，只让你用 8GB！
这可不是阴谋论，这是外媒 Tom's Hardware 和拆机大神实锤的硬件铁证！
有人扒出了 M4 iPad Pro 主板上的镁光内存颗粒编号，发现 8GB 版本的机器里，居然塞了两颗 6GB 的内存芯片！2乘6等于12，小学数学题对吧？但你在系统里永远只能看到 8GB！
很多人就不理解了：内存芯片是苹果自己花真金白银买的，既然都焊上去了，做个顺水人情给用户 12GB 不香吗？
Too young！这就是库克最恐怖的算计：
第一，市面上没有符合 M4 满血带宽的单颗 4GB 内存，去定制比直接买两颗 6GB 还要贵；
第二，也是最扎心的——如果入门版给你开放了 12GB，谁还愿意多花四五千块钱去买 1TB 的 16GB 顶配版？
宁可自己掏钱买 12G 的硬件，再亲手废掉三分之一，也绝不能让普通用户占到一点便宜！这已经不是“精准刀法”了，这是“宁可毁掉也不给你”的物理防越级！
以前我们吐槽苹果“把 8G 内存当黄金卖”，现在才知道，原来黄金早就在你机身里了，只是苹果上了把锁，钥匙扔进了太平洋。

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

I’m incredibly excited to share this video, in which I had the extraordinary privilege of mentioning the transformative impact of @OpenAI Codex and AI models on biomedicine, as well as what I’m working to develop using these technologies. I believe the video is beginning to air across various media outlets.

I hope it inspires others to explore the incredible possibilities AI is opening up for biomedical science and humanity! 🖖

I am truly grateful and thankful to OpenAI team for the opportunity and a tiny drop of contribution in this most important era of human existence.🙏

- Amazon: hardest to boycott but will ask AI agents!

opencode hacklenmiş. olayın detayları da yavaş yavaş netleşiyor.

17 ekim’de yaptıkları açıklamaya göre saldırganlar, opencode’un kullanımdan kaldırmaya hazırlandığı eski bi sisteme erişim sağlamış. burada kullanıcıların openai, anthropic, google gibi sağlayıcılara ait api key’leri tutuluyormuş. saldırıdan opencode console kullanıcılarının %1.4’ü etkilenmiş.

işin ilginç kısmı ise olayın büyük ölçekli bi distillation attack ile ilişkilendirilmesi. distillation dediğimiz şey, güçlü bi modelin çıktılarını kullanarak başka bi modeli eğitmek. yani saldırganlar başkalarının api key’leriyle modellere çok sayıda istek gönderip, elde ettikleri çıktılarla kendi modellerini eğitmeye çalışmış olabilir. hem eğitim verisini topluyorsun hem de faturasını başkasına ödetiyorsun :D

nitekim bazı kullanıcılar hesaplarında yüzlerce, hatta binlerce dolarlık izinsiz kullanım olduğunu söylüyor.

bugün itibarıyla birkaç gelişme daha var. anthropic, etkilendiğini düşündüğü claude api key’lerini iptal etmiş. google da açığa çıkan bazı key’leri engellemiş. opencode tarafı ise etkilenen kullanıcılarla iletişime geçip iadeleri başlatmış.

tabii saldırının tam olarak nasıl gerçekleştiği, saldırganların kim olduğu ve distillation için hangi modelleri hedefledikleri hala belli değil. henüz detaylı bi teknik rapor da yayınlanmadı.

bu arada hacklenen şey local’de çalışan opencode cli değil, opencode console’un bulut altyapısı. yani kendi api key’lerini console’a kaydetmediyseniz şu anki bulgulara göre bu olaydan etkilenmiş olmayabilirsiniz amma velakin yatırım tavsiye değildir.

burada dikkat çekici başka bi şey de şu: ai agent’ların kendisinden ziyade, etrafında kurulan ve kullanıcıların credential’larını saklayan merkezi servisler de ciddi bi saldırı yüzeyi haline geliyor.

We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.

It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.

In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.

In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.
