TechRust soundness bug compiled since 2015, and its age is why it is rated high, not critical
A GitHub report shows safe Rust code reading freed memory through a struct's cleanup code. Variants compile back to Rust 1.4; the issue is still open.
TechNASA's SPEARS solid-state cells ran at minus 80°C but need heaters after lunar night
Coin-cell prototypes tested at Langley survived swings from 100°C to minus 170°C, yet cannot run that cold. Energy density and cycle life are not given.
CultureKikai eruption study: northern Kyushu's Jomon kept growing while distant regions declined
A Science Advances study of Japan's eruption 7,300 years ago finds neither total collapse nor simple survival, and an odd link to worn deer and boar teeth.
AIApple's Minions pools idle Macs into a GPU cloud, with machines recruited over Slack
An Apple paper describes an internal system that runs AI inference on colleagues' idle Macs. Queue times fell from hours to minutes; no throughput figures are given.
SocietySwiss platform law will ban profiling ads to minors, while age checks stay undecided
Switzerland's draft law for very large platforms had no youth rules. After 214 consultation replies, the government added a profiling ad ban for minors.
AIMalayalam Wikipedia's AI bot made 888 edits, none reverted, and its checks blocked 380
AksharaBot only fixes language in machine-translated articles. Three checks must agree, and they even stopped a correct medical fix.
TechJohns Hopkins millirobots dock in pairs to release antibiotics onto infected heart tissue
One magnetic robot anchors a needle in the heart wall, a second docks onto it with the drug, and can be swapped out for repeat doses.
SocietyNew heart attack centers were linked to fewer deaths only where none was 30 minutes away
In 590,282 California heart attack cases, a nearby new PCI center helped underserved towns and did almost nothing where one already existed.
ScienceCongo Basin weather sheets rescued from paper show hot days nearly doubled by the 1980s
Over 9,000 handwritten sheets from 37 Congolese stations fill a gap the IPCC flagged: Central Africa's hot extremes had never been confirmed.
ScienceBreathwork cut brain blood flow about 45%, yet altered states tracked network changes
In an MRI study of 30 practitioners, intense breathing produced psychedelic-like states. Blood flow loss alone did not explain their strength.
SocietyPrenatal VR training helped against postpartum depression only in women with a prior birth
A Danish trial found no significant effect overall. Among women who already had a child, 5.3% developed depression after training.
AIAi2's GPU queue ended with every job marked high priority, so it moved to budgets
The Allen Institute for AI rebuilt its GPU scheduler around time budgets. Debug jobs that waited two hours now start in about 30 seconds.
