We are happy to announce the first releases of hfhub and tok are now on CRAN. hfhub is an R interface to Hugging Face Hub, allowing users to download and cache files from Hugging Face Hub while tok implements R bindings for the Hugging Face tokenizers library. Hugging Face rapidly became the platform to build, share and collaborate on deep learning applications and we hope these integrations will help R users to get started using Hugging Face tools as well as building novel applications. We also have previously announced the safetensors package allowing to read and write files in the…

AI was 2024’s hot topic, so how is it evolving? What are we seeing in AI today, and what do we expect to see in the next 12-18 months? We asked Andrew Brust, Chester Conforte, Chris Ray, Dana Hernandez, Howard Holton, Ivan McPhee, Seth Byrnes, Whit Walters, and William McKnight to weigh in.  First off, what’s still hot? Where are AI use cases seeing success? Chester: I see people leveraging AI beyond experimentation. People have had the opportunity to experiment, and now we’re getting to a point where true, vertical-specific use cases are being developed. I’ve been tracking healthcare closely…

The week after AWS re:Invent builds on the excitement and energy of the event and is a good time to learn more and understand how the recent announcements can help you solve your challenges and unlock new opportunities. As usual, we have you covered with our top announcements of AWS re:Invent 2025 that you can learn all about here. For me, one moment stood out above all the technical announcements: watching Rafi (Raphael Francis Quisumbing) from the Philippines receive the Now Go Build Award from Werner Vogels. Rafi has been an AWS Hero since 2015 and co-lead of AWS User…

Posted by Chrome Root Program Team Secure connections are the backbone of the modern web, but a certificate is only as trustworthy as the validation process and issuance practices behind it. Recently, the Chrome Root Program and the CA/Browser Forum have taken decisive steps toward a more secure internet by adopting new security requirements for HTTPS certificate issuers. These initiatives, driven by Ballots SC-080, SC-090, and SC-091, will sunset 11 legacy methods for Domain Control Validation. By retiring these outdated practices, which rely on weaker verification signals like physical mail, phone calls, or emails, we are closing potential loopholes for…

Lord Alan Whitehead addresses the ADBA National Conference on 10 December. The Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) welcomed (on 12 December) a UK Government announcement of their plans to extend the Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) by two years to 31 March 2030. The news was officially delivered by Lord Alan Whitehead, Minister of State for DESNZ, as he addressed the ADBA National Conference on 10 December (pictured). The extension of the GGSS provides essential policy stability for the UK’s rapidly growing biomethane sector, safeguarding investment and ensuring the continued development of new and existing anaerobic digestion (AD) projects,…

Allowing other apps and webpages to link into your app with deeplinks is a really good way for you to make your app more flexible, and to ensure that users of your app can more easily share content with others by sharing direct links to your contents.To support deeplinking on iOS, you have two options available:Support deeplinking through custom URL schemes like maxine://workout/dw-1238-321-jdjdSupport deeplinking through Universal Links which would look like this /maxine-app/workout/dw-1238-321-jdjdTo add support for option one, all you need to do is register your custom URL scheme and implement onOpenURL to handle the incoming links. This approach is…

Global IoT connectivity faces a re-alignment in 2026 as enterprises abandon DIY models for managed services to mitigate operational risk.For CIOs managing distributed assets, the last decade has been defined by a specific operational friction: the gap between the promise of the IoT and the headache of actually maintaining it. We have spent years patching together global estates using a patchwork of operator contracts and shifting technical standards. That model is breaking.According to Eseye, the industry will enter a “great re-alignment” in 2026. The complexity of global connectivity has hit a threshold where internal teams can no longer cope. The…

Earlier this year, we reiterated our commitment to keeping Android and Google Play safe for everyone and maintaining a thriving environment where users can trust the apps they download and your business can flourish. We’ve heard your feedback clearly, from excited conversations at Play events around the world to the honest concerns on social media. You want simpler ways to make sure your apps are compliant and pass review, and need strong protections for your business so you can focus on growth and innovation. We are proud of the steps we’ve taken together this year, but know this is ongoing…

Bio-inspired neuromorphic computing offers a revolutionary approach by replicating brain-like functionalities in next-generation electronics. This study presents two flexible resistive memory devices fabricated using DC magnetron sputtering, D1(Nb/V2O5/Ni) and D2(Nb/NbOx/V2O5/Ni). Device D1 exhibits abrupt SET and gradual RESET switching, while D2 demonstrates fully gradual resistive switching (GRS), highly desirable for analog synaptic behavior. Mechanistically, D1 is primarily governed by oxygen vacancies, whereas D2 benefits from the synergistic interplay between oxygen vacancies and interfacial NbOx/NiO layers, confirmed by XPS depth profiling. These interfacial layers significantly enhance D2’s GRS performance and synaptic fidelity. Both devices exhibit temperature-dependent control of oxygen vacancies, which…
