Apple is widening access to its iPhone location privacy tool, bringing tighter control over user data to far more carriers and countries following the rollout of iOS 26.5. The tech giant’s “Limit Precise Location” feature, first introduced earlier this year, is now rolling out to many more users following the release of iOS 26.5. The feature is designed to reduce the accuracy with which mobile carriers can track a user’s location. Instead of pinpointing a street-level location, carriers may receive only a broader area, such as a neighborhood. According to Apple, this gives users more control over sensitive location data shared…

Utility locating is more than just a safety precaution – it’s a way to really minimize the risk of causing damage to the environment. When you know what’s buried underground, you can avoid accidentally hitting gas lines, water mains, sewer pipes, electric cables and telecom connections. And if you do hit these lines, it can lead to fuel leaks, gas emissions, sewage spills, fires and soil damage. In the States, there are rules in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Federal law, state regulations and industry standards all come into play – these include colour-coded marking systems,…

What happened to the good old days when mobile computing was still in its infancy? You know, back when everyone was sure we needed to carry computers around with us everywhere, but no one knew what that meant. The mid-1990s through the early 2000s spawned all sorts of memorable personal digital assistants, music players, and other odd (by today’s standards) computing devices. But those experimental days are now gone, and we have been left with a little rectangle that does it all. Yawn!Fortunately, we have a big maker scene today that is rejecting the idea that all we ever need…

While Xiaomi has yet to officially reveal any details about the upcoming Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro, both phones have already surfaced in several leaks. A recent leak revealed their design, key specs, and EU pricing. Now, a new leak has tipped their global launch date. According to a tipster, the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro are expected to launch globally, including in India, on May 28. Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro leaked renders The tipster also claims that Xiaomi is considering bringing the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Max to international markets as well. Recent leaks suggest that the Xiaomi…

Topology provides a foundational framework for understanding a wide range of natural phenomena1,2,3. Among its key manifestations are topological defects, which cannot be removed or transformed without fundamentally altering the system’s configuration, intrinsically preventing their decay. The skyrmion4 is a prime example, consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) vector field mapped onto a two-dimensional (2D) plane. It is typically described as a vector field encoding distinct mappings on a 3D unit sphere in order-parameter space, capturing the winding and twisting of the field. A skyrmion is characterized by fully covering the unit sphere such that all possible orientations of the vector…

In other words, while AI may be reshaping the labor market, it is not eliminating the need for talent. “We are seeing a shift toward the type of talent employers need and the expectations they have for impact,” said Kye Mitchell, head of Experis US. Though hiring for entry-level jobs is under pressure as AI absorbs more routine work, that doesn’t eliminate opportunity, she said. “It changes the expectations. Employers now expect candidates to come in with hands-on experience, AI familiarity, and the ability to contribute faster.” While reductions in headcount are real, the savings from cutting those jobs will…

Whether you like it or not, Amazon continues to put AI at the center of the shopping journey. The company announced Wednesday “Alexa for Shopping,” its new personalized AI shopping assistant, powered by Alexa+.  Notably, the experience will replace Rufus, its generative AI shopping assistant that launched in 2024. According to the company, Alexa for Shopping is designed to offer a voice- and touch-enabled shopping experience across mobile, desktop, and Echo Show smart displays. While Rufus focused on helping customers discover and compare products, Alexa for Shopping is meant to provide more personalized recommendations and automate the shopping experience across…

In this article, you will learn how to apply a structured decision tree to choose the right agentic design pattern for any AI system you are building. Topics we will cover include: Why pattern selection is a critical design decision, and what assumptions underlie each major agentic design pattern. A five-question decision tree that maps concrete task properties to the most appropriate starting pattern. Common failure signals for each pattern and the targeted fixes that address them. Choosing the Right Agentic Design Pattern: A Decision Tree Approach (click to enlarge) Introduction Most agentic architecture mistakes start with a simple misread…

Every second of a professional basketball game now generates more than 20,000 data points from Hawk-Eye cameras. Across a 48-minute game, that adds up to tens of millions of positional measurements. Somewhere inside that stream are the answers to the questions teams obsess over: how to prevent injuries, scout more precisely, dissect plays, optimize lineups, and even fine-tune shooting mechanics. The hard part is building the data platforms and AI models that answer those questions reliably at scale. These systems need to be fast enough to change what happens on the floor, in the locker room, and in the office.Across…

AWS has made Claude Platform on AWS generally available, giving customers access to Anthropic’s native Claude Platform through their existing AWS accounts.AWS said it is the first cloud provider to offer access to the Claude Platform natively. The service allows developers and organisations to use Claude APIs, the Claude Console, and early-access beta features without the need for separate Anthropic accounts.AWS and Anthropic’s cloud tiesThe launch follows earlier AWS-Anthropic agreements. Anthropic said in November 2024 that Amazon’s total investment in the company had reached US$8 billion, and AWS had become its primary cloud and training partner.Amazon and Anthropic expanded that…
