As world leaders gather in the Amazon region for the latest United Nations Conference of the Parties, climate progress looks frail. The Belém, Brazil, event marks a decade since 195 nations agreed to the Paris Agreement, and emissions, global temperatures and numerous other indicators of planetary health are at perilous levels. To date, the climate summits have been a parade of pledges without much hard progress to celebrate. This one, however, nicknamed the “implementation COP,” asks governments to show how they’ll actually meet their climate targets. That may result in ratcheting up pressure on the corporations driving so many emissions.…

In the previous tutorials, we explored how Foundation Models work in iOS 26 and how you can start building AI-powered features using this new framework. We also introduced the @Generable macro, which makes it easy to convert generated responses into structured Swift types.Now, in Part 3 of the Foundation Models series, we’ll dive into another powerful capability: Tool Calling — a feature that lets the model interact with your app’s functions to perform tasks, retrieve data, or trigger actions based on user input.The on-device language model isn’t capable of answering every type of question, especially those that require real-time data, like the current weather…

With over 470 million connected cars expected by end of 2025, protecting sensitive vehicle data, particularly Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), has become crucial for automakers. VINs serve as unique identifiers in automotive processes from manufacturing to maintenance, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. This post explores how automakers can help securing VINs in connected vehicle platforms using AWS IoT helping ensure both data protection and system functionality. This solution introduces Reference IDs as pseudonyms for VINs, helping enable secure vehicle data interactions without exposing actual VINs. Using AWS IoT services, we’ll demonstrate how this architecture helps automakers protect sensitive data…

Xiaomi’s sub-flagship lineup is back for another year and you might be wondering whether the Xiaomi 15T is good enough or whether the Xiaomi 15T Pro’s camera prowess and stronger chipset are convincing enough to deserve its price premium. As it currently stands, the Xiaomi 15T Pro is asking around €150-200 more than its sibling, and unlike in older generations, there are plenty of differences to go through. Some are subtle, others are not. With this year’s upgrade to the 15T Pro, the handset feels closer to being a true flagship, while the 15T remains a solid, mid-range all-rounder. So…

CS-1 induces pyroptosis-mediated cytotoxicity across diverse MDR cellsCS-1, the structure of which is depicted in Fig. 1A, demonstrated a wide-ranging anti-tumor activity [32]. By investigating the cytotoxicity of CS-1 on several MDR cell lines (MCF-7/ADR, A2780/DDP, and HepG2/DDP) as well as their respective parental counterparts, the three resistant cell lines demonstrated significant resistance to their corresponding chemotherapeutic agents (Fig. 1B-C), as previously reported [33,34,35]. On the contrary, CS-1 exhibited potent cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner against these resistant strains and their parental counterparts with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 5 µM (Fig. 1D). The resistance index (RI) of these…

curl is one of those great utilities that’s been around seemingly forever and has endless use cases. These days I find myself using curl to batch download files and test APIs. Sometimes my testing leads me to using different HTTP headers in my requests. To add a header to a curl request, use the -H flag: curl -X ‘GET’ \ ‘ \ -H ‘accept: application/json’ \ -H ‘Version: 1’ You can add multiple headers with multiple -H uses. Header format is usually [key]: [value]. 5 More HTML5 APIs You Didn’t Know ExistedThe HTML5 revolution has provided us some awesome JavaScript and…

The Department of War (DoW) is undergoing a significant transformation in how it acquires and develops software systems. Central to this evolution is the shift from traditional document-based processes to model-centric methodologies. In this context, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) recently analyzed the alignment of the DoW’s Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) with the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF). The aim of the study, as detailed in this blog post, is to operationalize model-based systems engineering (MBSE) within the SWP using UAF, which would enhance traceability, decision-making, and compliance across the lifecycle.The Need for a Model-Centric Acquisition StrategyThe…

Rivian has given its founder and CEO RJ Scaringe a new performance-based stock award that could ultimately be worth around $5 billion if all the underlying goals are met, according to a new filing. Scaringe’s salary is also being doubled to $2 million per year, and he was given a 10% stake in Rivian’s newest spinout Mind Robotics, the filing shows. The announcement comes just one day after Tesla shareholders voted to approve a compensation package for its CEO Elon Musk that could be worth $1 trillion — the largest in corporate history. Unlike Musk’s pay package, Scaringe’s isn’t subject…

“Certain formats consistently trigger AI Overviews: clear explainers and definitions, step-by-step how-tos, detailed comparisons and buying guides, and local discovery content with consistent business details,” writes Laughlin Rigby, Digital Transformation & AI Director of Core Optimisation The search experience has fundamentally changed. Users no longer just scroll through ten blue links, they are reading answers. Google’s AI Overviews, now reaching 1.5 billion users across 200+ countries, synthesise trusted sources into concise, cited summaries above the fold. Meanwhile, agentic browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity’s Comet, and Edge Copilot sit beside the page, comparing options and completing tasks on behalf of users.…

OnePlus 15, confirmed to come with a display with support for 165Hz refresh rate, will also pack a huge battery. The battery will be 7300mAh in size. The display will be an ultra-smooth 1.5K panel, with 165Hz refresh rate, and it will be an LTPO panel, of course, to improve power efficiency. OnePlus has said that there will be a new level of fluid motion on the display combined with retina-level clarity and detail. In titles such as Call of Duty: Mobile, Brawl Stars and Clash of Clans, users can enjoy ultra-smooth native 165fps support.Read More – Tata Play Binge Now…
