In a place where most contemporary buildings are constructed of concrete and cooled via standard air conditioning units, Issoufou’s work demonstrates that traditional techniques and site-derived materials are not only better for the environment, but also a high-performance option for the people who will occupy them.Light-Touch Living in New Zealand“Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous people, live by a series of underlying natural principles and behaviors,” says Stephen McDougall, a founding director at Studio Pacific Architecture in Wellington, the country’s capital. “Guardianship is one of these principles.”Adopting this obligation to the land, McDougall designed Kāpiti House, his personal off-grid retreat set within…

More than half of adults use the Internet for health information, and one-third turn to artificial intelligence (AI). However, access to information does not mean that it is easy to understand or correctly interpreted. In short, the human component of AI for health information remains important to research to help people benefit from better health information.Specifically, this is important in the space of dermatology (skin, hair, nails; henceforth “skin” for brevity) because people have trouble looking for the right information online related to their skin concern. For instance, you may notice “red dots on legs,” but not have the background…

That probably gives us the right way to think about pricing for this broader category. These are unlikely to be inexpensive mainstream PCs, at least not at launch. They are more likely to arrive as premium systems aimed at developers, technical professionals, creators, and early adopters willing to pay for high-end AI capabilities on the device. Over time, that may broaden. For now, however, this looks like a new high-value, high-cost category rather than a commodity PC refresh. What is its real purpose? The most important thing about RTX Spark is not the chip. It is the purpose behind the…

The US state of Maine has taken its public data breach notification portal offline after someone submitted fraudulent breach disclosures impersonating two well-known technology companies.As Bleeping Computer reported last week, fraudulent data breach disclosures were submitted to Maine’s official breach portal and publicly posted before their legitimacy could be verified, prompting the named companies to deny the claims.The first fake notification targeted the popular messaging platform Discord, used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The notification, which claimed that 10 million people had been impacted by a data breach, was riddled with clues that should have made anyone question…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Raymond Tribdino has done a great job for us covering VinFast for us — its grand ambitions, it struggles, and how it is adapting to try to eventually achieve its vision. One of the company’s biggest challenges and failures has been trying to break into the US market. There are various reasons for that, but I have to emphasize that the company needs to seriously revamp how it’s doing marketing in the United States. I will say that I love it when I see a VinFast on the road. It’s…

The company has begun confirming the key details of its next Galaxy Z Fold competitor ahead of its official launch in China later this month, and it’s clear that photography is the star of…

Most of the cryptography securing the internet today rests on mathematical problems that classical computers cannot solve in any reasonable timeframe. That assumption is now being tested. Recent advances in quantum computing have dramatically compressed timelines, and many in the industry have set a target of full post-quantum security by 2029, meaning a complete migration to algorithms designed to remain secure against quantum attacks. Bas Westerbaan is a cryptography engineer at Cloudflare, where he leads the company’s efforts to migrate to post-quantum cryptography. In this episode, Bas joins Kevin Ball to discuss how quantum computers threaten public key cryptography, what…
