OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s new brain-computer interface startup, Merge Labs, is being spun out of the Los Angeles–based nonprofit Forest Neurotech, according to a source with direct knowledge of the ...

Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But ...

Your computer is overheating because Hyper-V is constantly managing hardware requests. This keeps the CPU and memory controller active, unlike regular desktop use. As a result, the processor can’t ...

The modern smartphone is exponentially more powerful than the guidance computer used during the Apollo moon landings—proof of how quickly technology can reshape our world. For decades, Moore’s Law has ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

We’ve been using passwords to protect our various accounts for a few decades now, and, to be honest, we’re not very good at it. Many of us use the same simple, easy to remember passwords for all of ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The Qilin ransomware operation was spotted executing Linux encryptors in Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to evade detection by traditional security tools. The ransomware first launched ...

Altman taps a leading researcher for his brain-computer interface startup, suggesting a much less invasive approach than Elon Musk’s Neuralink. Altman taps a leading researcher for his brain-computer ...

In this tutorial, we build an advanced computer-use agent from scratch that can reason, plan, and perform virtual actions using a local open-weight model. We create a miniature simulated desktop, ...
