Leaked internal documents have revealed that for nearly a year Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) used counterfeit USB flash drives infected with malware on computers connected to sensitive military networks. The USB drives have been linked to Chinese hacking operations, according to an investigation by Nikkei Asia.Nikkei Asia reports that the poisoned flash drives were delivered to the JGSDF in March 2024, during disaster relief operations following an earthquake in central Japan. Via this route they were able to enter military use without having passed through standard procurement channels.The malware was discovered in February 2025, after personnel at JGSDF’s Middle…

Behind the scenes in today’s digital world, data centers power everything from AI-driven applications to the secure storage of vast amounts of sensitive information. As the foundation of modern business operations, data centers play a critical role in keeping services running smoothly, which makes them an increasingly attractive target of cyberattacks. As the advanced technologies of AI and quantum computing reshape the threat landscape, organizations have little choice except to modernize data center security to protect sensitive data and ensure operational continuity. Vulnerable, legacy infrastructure complexity Data center environments are becoming more complex (Figure 1). This increases the number of…

Tesla has begun testing a production version of its Cybercab that has two seats, but no steering wheel or pedals, in Austin, Texas. For now, the testing is being done with a safety monitor in the right passenger seat, according to a video posted on X, the social media platform owned by the electric car maker’s CEO Elon Musk. This test is happening nearly two years after Tesla revealed the design of the Cybercab, which is meant to be a fully autonomous robotaxi that can be hailed through Tesla’s app. Roughly a year ago, Tesla began testing a Tesla Robotaxi…

With over 7.5 billion active smartphone mobile network subscriptions in the world, it seems no surprise that mobile app development keeps rising in popularity. If you have been thinking of developing a mobile application for your startup or business, the very first concern that comes to mind most often is the cost to develop an app. Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer to this question as there are many factors involved. This raises more questions than answers. When it comes to building mobile apps, the time-proven phrase “you get what you pay for” is absolutely true. If you Google “how much…

“We tried agile and it didn’t work” is one of the most revealing things a leader can hear. The comment can sound cynical, dismissive, or resistant. But often it is something more useful: evidence from a previous improvement effort. People may have seen the organization rename meetings, assign new roles, update Jira workflows, adopt Scrum or Kanban, hire coaches, or launch a major transformation. For a while, everything may have looked more agile. But the promised results did not appear. Planning was still unreliable. Priorities still changed without meaningful tradeoffs. Product Owners still lacked the authority to make real decisions.…

Researchers have shown that an unusual class of quantum states known as “fractional Fermi seas” can be deliberately created, according to a new study published in Physical Review Letters. The work was carried out by the Nägerl group together with theoretical physicist Alvise Bastianello of CNRS and Université Paris-Dauphine. The study demonstrates how a new critical phase of matter can emerge when quantum particles are pushed far from their normal equilibrium conditions. Using ultracold cesium atoms confined to one dimension, the researchers repeatedly altered how strongly the particles interacted with one another. The resulting state goes beyond the behavior predicted…

It’s lazy thinking to see Apple as a villain in this scenario. The company might have been charging more for add-on memory than market rates, but there were real technical reasons to do so. And while critics might be castigating Cupertino for those past practices, they’ll still find themselves now paying more for whatever brand of electronic devices they use to write their screeds on in future. It’s all about supply and demand. Memory manufacturers see the opportunity to feed AI need, even if it means sacrificing consumer markets as they do. Cash through chaos You can argue that the…

Press Release [Copenhagen, Denmark, June 24, 2026]‌ At the DTW 2026, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), in partnership with Huawei, won the “Excellence in AI & data for business impact” award for the new Generation intelligent operations solution AUTINOps based on the AI-Native Framework for Intelligent Operations. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Digital Twin Network (DTN), Multi-agent collaboration, and Domain Specific Model (EDNS 2.0), the solution addresses the complex challenges of network operations in Indonesia, establishing a benchmark for AI-Native-driven operations transformation in the global telecom industry. IOH and Huawei are committed to joint innovation centered on value and technology, pioneering…

Variations on a theme Simple audio classification with Keras, Audio classification with Keras: Looking closer at the non-deep learning parts, Simple audio classification with torch: No, this is not the first post on this blog that introduces speech classification using deep learning. With two of those posts (the “applied” ones) it shares the general setup, the type of deep-learning architecture employed, and the dataset used. With the third, it has in common the interest in the ideas and concepts involved. Each of these posts has a different focus – should you read this one? Well, of course I can’t say…
