Any-orientation mounting and six-axis motion support flexible integration into optical and photonics systems. PI’s compact H-811.I2HS hexapod delivers precise 6-DOF motion with patented overload protection simplifying setup and shop floor operation in OEM applications. Image Credit: PI (Physik Instrumente) LP PI (Physik Instrumente), a leading manufacturer of high precision air bearings, motion control and nanopositioning systems, offers a new overload protection for its compact H-811 hexapod. The patented protection is designed to safeguard its precision mechanics during installation, integration, and operation. This protection is especially valuable in demanding applications where accidental forces or improper handling could otherwise degrade on damage…
Apple’s complaint is more detailed than that. Among many other things, it claims Tan allegedly directed job candidates still at Apple to bring “actual parts” to interviews for “show and tell” sessions. It also alleges Tan distributed an internal Apple document describing Apple’s own departure security protocols to new hires before they resigned. Liu is separately accused of failing to return an Apple laptop and using it to download confidential technical documents. OpenAI’s rebuttal Now, OpenAI argues Apple’s trade-secret lawsuit is based on factual errors, poor communication and misleading claims. It says Apple mistakenly contacted the wrong OpenAI lawyer after…
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who find it acceptable to be a little tardy and those who consider it an affront to all that is decent. As someone who frequently runs late, I’m often relieved when someone else is, too. And I don’t mind if a friend is a bit behind; the worst-case scenario is I have a few minutes of peace in which to stare at my phone. But the perpetually punctual see this as disrespect, as showing up late is a sign you don’t value others’ time, that you believe what you’re doing…
Figure 1: CUDA-to-MLX optimization translation map. CUDA optimization knowledge can be translated into architecture-native MLX strategies rather than copied instruction-for-instruction. We face a new epoch in computing. Hardware is changing rapidly — not just faster GPUs, but a growing range of chips from different vendors, each with its own architecture and often tailored to specific AI workloads. Software is changing just as fast, and AI coding tools now generate in minutes what took months of effort a few years ago.
Your dbt project runs 80 models every night. The warehouse bill doubled last quarter. Model performance varies widely, and the effects of the most recent optimizations are unclear. Finance asks which team is responsible. You open the query history and see… 80 identical rows labeled ‘Databricks Dbt.’ Good luck.With Query Tags (now in Public Preview), data teams can now benefit from out-of-the-box auto-injected tags, such as dbt_model_name, which enrich every run. You can also attach your own custom tags — team, cost center, environment, anything — to every query your pipeline generates.Tags are recorded in system.query.history, making cost attribution, performance debugging, and workload…
In our prior blog, we shared the strategic journey of how Cisco IT modernized our voice security posture by shifting from reactive, manual processes to a proactive, AI-driven defense. In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into the technical architecture that made this transformation possible. AI detection alone isn’t enough As the team responsible for managing Cisco’s global voice environment, we are tasked with protecting millions of calls from the growing threat of toll fraud, robocalls, and spam. To combat this, we developed an AI/ML-driven nuisance call detection engine. This was a critical initiative for Cisco IT, as the rising volume of toll fraud and spam had become a significant risk and…
Do you hold cryptocurrency? Have you received a letter telling you that you must register with a so-called “Digital Asset Compliance Portal”?If so, it’s time to hit the brakes, because it sounds like someone is trying to scam you.The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a fraud alert after it was found that scammers are sending official-looking letters to people with cryptocurrency holdings, directing victims to a website designed to steal personal details and digital assets.As Coinbase’s security team explains, the letters urge recipients to scan a QR code and enrol in a “Digital Asset Compliance Portal” before…
The “speed to power” ambitions of big cloud computing service providers and data center companies are boosting installations of on-site fuel cells, particularly those made by Bloom Energy. Oracle is contracted to install up to 2.8 gigawatts of capacity for its cloud computing and artificial intelligence services: Almost half of those projects are already underway, with some fuel cells operational in 55 days. Equinix, which operates more than 280 data centers globally, already has 73 megawatts of Bloom fuel cell capacity operational. The company is contracted for an additional 35 megawatts in installations, covering 19 data centers in six states.…
It’s the end of a very short road for ChatGPT Atlas, OpenAI’s dedicated web browser for Mac. OpenAI has shared details about what happens when ChatGPT Atlas shuts down this weekend. ChatGPT is the new ChatGPT Atlas As we reported in July, OpenAI is discontinuing its standalone Atlas browser in favor of browser tools built into the new ChatGPT desktop app. Atlas is scheduled to stop working on August 9 following a brief wind-down period. OpenAI warns that Atlas may no longer open, browse, or support agentic workflows after that date. Because the discontinued browser will not continue receiving security updates, users…
DALLAS – CIOs and CISOs can now safely open the floodgates to vibe-coded apps. Island, the enterprise agentic control plane, today introduced Island Enterprise Vibe Publishing, a new way for organizations to quickly publish and share internal apps employees build with all their governance built in. Vibe coding platforms such as Claude Code, Lovable, and others have given knowledge workers the ability to deliver innovation at unprecedented quality, scale, and speed. They have also made it easy to host apps and add basic security controls such as single sign-on (SSO). But with every employee as a potential app builder, two problems remain.…
