The next big thing in AI, at least if you ask the tech companies, is assistant agents. David and The Verge's Allison Johnson have both been testing products like Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots, and startups like Instinct, in an effort to find out how much you can really get done by messaging with an AI tool – and whether the productivity is worth the tradeoffs.Further reading: Paramount and Warner Bros.

A wave of Gen Z traders with backgrounds in math and programming is rapidly taking over prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. Armed with artificial intelligence tools and automated strategies, these young quantitative entrepreneurs are launching their own startups and wagering millions of dollars weekly. Prominent examples include Alcedine Technologies, founded by Zack Chroman and Tanner Hoke, which has quietly risen to become a top-tier trader on regulated U.S. exchanges. Despite

AI data centers are creating a new kind of power problem. As thousands of GPUs ramp together, fast and synchronized changes in electrical demand can place new pressure on UPS systems, generators and the broader power infrastructure supporting the compute load.In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Frank DeLattre, President Americas at Musashi Energy Solutions, about how hybrid supercapacitors could help data centers manage those rapid power

The Twelve South AirFly Drive Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter makes wired CarPlay wireless without the reliability problems common to other adapters. Setup is simple, connections occur within seconds, and extensive driving produced no dropped connections.

In this episode of Milk Road Crypto, John Gillen sits down with Simon Baksys, Chief Business Officer at LayerZero, to unpack the company’s much bigger vision: a new high-performance Layer 1, institutional onchain markets, a “headless” exchange called Atlas, AI-agent payments, and potentially trillions of dollars moving onchain. LayerZero already powers cross-chain infrastructure for major assets and institutions. Now, with Xero, the team is building a blockchain designed to handle up to millions of

“Follow your dreams and quit your day job” is terrible advice.That’s not me saying it. That’s Jon Keidan, founder and managing partner of Torch Capital, where he’s backed companies including Sweetgreen, Acorns and Zocdoc. He has a better suggestion: before you blow up your life for a startup idea, find some proof that people actually want what you’re planning to build. The bar may be lower than you think. In this conversation, we break down how Jon evaluates consumer startups from the pain point

Most eSIM coverage focuses on carriers and roaming revenue, but the real story sits at the bottom of the stack: a commodity secure element, a GSMA-rooted certificate, and an LPA that moves credentials around. This episode traces that stack from silicon to software — what an eUICC actually is, why certified cards cost under 25 euros while consumer adapters sell for multiples of that, and where the genuine lock-in lives (spoiler: it's the certificate, not the plastic). We also walk through the open

Performance testing has never been easier to start, or more important to get right. As teams ship more AI generated code, performance problems are slipping through, and they tend to surface during your highest traffic moments. In this episode, Joe Colantonio talks with Lars Holmberg, lead maintainer of the open source Locust project, and Abhinav Premsekhar of Microsoft's Azure App Testing team. They explain how AI is changing load testing, from script creation to results analysis. You'll see live

📝Tweet, 📄 Paper We introduce TasteVal, a benchmark that measures the experimental research taste of AI models on AI R&D tasks. We define research taste as the ability to pick interesting problems to solve, design experiments, and interpret experimental results. TasteVal measures the experimental component of research taste; given a fixed research problem, we measure how well a model iteratively designs experiments and draws conclusions from their outcomes. In the AI Futures Model,

You may have seen factions of the left being opposed to current attempts to regulate the AI industry, despite the fact that they clearly also want to stop AI. I think I can explain why we're talking past each other. To do this, I will define three different types of AI risk: AI does exactly what some random guy wants: hacking, biorisk, terrorismAI does exactly what people currently in power want (or puts people in power): military usage, job losses, wealth concentration, mass surveillanceAI does

Skylock's Wearable Kit is a compact RF counter-drone system now in operational service — detecting hostile drones out to two kilometers and jamming out to three, with Ukrainian troops, the US Army in Europe, and the IDF in Gaza all using it. But how does jamming actually work when drones hop frequencies and spread their signals thin? This episode unpacks the inverse-square law, signal-to-noise ratios, FHSS and DSSS, and the barrage-versus-spot jamming tradeoff — and explains why jamming range is
