Supported by conversations with nearly a dozen former employees, 9to5Mac [45]details the downfall of Brydge -- "a once thriving startup making popular keyboard accessories for iPad, Mac, and Microsoft Surface products." An anonymous reader shares an excerpt from the report: According to nearly a dozen former Brydge employees who spoke to 9to5Mac, Brydge has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs within the past year after at least two failed acquisitions. As it stands today, Brydge employees have not been paid salaries since January. Customers who pre-ordered the company's most recent product have been left in the dark since then as well. Its website went [46]completely offline earlier this year, and its social media accounts have been silent since then as well. Those former Brydge employees largely attribute the company's failure to mismanagement during growth, misleading statements from its two co-CEOs, and an overall hostile working environment that led to a high turnover rate. apply tags__________ 170890055 story [47]Space [48]In a First, Astronomers Spot a Star Swallowing a Planet [49](mit.edu) [50]5 Posted by [51]BeauHD on Saturday May 06, 2023 @03:00AM from the it's-only-a-matter-of-time dept. For the first time, astronomers have [52]observed a star swallowing a planet. The findings have been [53]published in the journal Nature. MIT News reports: The planetary demise appears to have taken place in our own galaxy, some 12,000 light-years away, near the eagle-like constellation Aquila. There, astronomers spotted an outburst from a star that became more than 100 times brighter over just 10 days, before quickly fading away. Curiously, this white-hot flash was followed by a colder, longer-lasting signal. This combination, the scientists deduced, could only have been produced by one event: a star engulfing a nearby planet. What of the planet that perished? The scientists estimate that it was likely a hot, Jupiter-sized world that spiraled close, then was pulled into the dying star's atmosphere, and, finally, into its core. A similar fate will befall the Earth, though not for another 5 billion years, when the sun is expected to burn out, and burn up the solar system's inner planets. "For decades, we've been able to see the before and after," says lead author Kishalay De, a postdoc in MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. "Before, when the planets are still orbiting very close to their star, and after, when a planet has already been engulfed, and the star is giant. What we were missing was catching the star in the act, where you have a planet undergoing this fate in real-time. That's what makes this discovery really exciting." apply tags__________ 170888141 story [54]Science [55]Brazilian Frog Might Be the First Pollinating Amphibian Known To Science [56](science.org) [57]15 Posted by [58]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @11:30PM from the ribbiting-news dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Science Magazine: The creamy fruit and nectar-rich flowers of the milk fruit tree are irresistible to Xenohyla truncata, a tree frog native to Brazil. On warm nights, the dusky-colored frogs take to the trees en masse, jostling one another for a chance to nibble the fruit and slurp the nectar. In the process, the frogs become covered in sticky pollen grains -- and [59]might inadvertently pollinate the plants, too. It's the first time a frog -- or any amphibian -- has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers [60]reported last month in Food Webs. Scientists long thought only insects and birds served as pollinators, but research has [61]revealed that some reptiles and mammals are more than up to the task. Now, scientists must consider whether amphibians are also capable of getting the job done. It's likely that the nectar-loving frogs, also known as Izecksohn's Brazilian tree frogs, are transferring pollen as they move from flower to flower, the authors say. But more research is needed, they add, to confirm that frogs have joined the planet's pantheon of pollinators. apply tags__________ 170888165 story [62]Transportation [63]Mercedes Locks Better EV Engine Performance Behind Annoying Subscription Paywalls [64](techdirt.com) [65]120 Posted by [66]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @10:02PM from the pay-up-or-get-left-in-the-dust dept. Last year, BMW [67]announced plans to charge a $18 per month subscription for heated seats. Now, Mercedes is [68]considering making better EV engine performance an added subscription surcharge. "Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle owners in North America who want a little more power and speed can now buy 60 horsepower for just $60 a month or, on other models, 80 horsepower for $90 a month," reports [69]CNN. "They won't have to visit a Mercedes dealer to get the upgrade either, or even leave their own driveway. The added power, which will provide a nearly one second decrease in zero-to-60 acceleration, will be available through an over-the-air software patch." Techdirt reports: If you don't want to pay monthly, Mercedes will also let you pay a one time flat fee (usually several thousand dollars) to remove the artificial restrictions they've imposed on your engine. That's, of course, creating additional upward pricing funnel efforts on top of the industry's existing efforts to upsell you on a rotating crop of trims, tiers, and options you probably didn't want. It's not really clear that regulators have any interest in cracking down on charging dumb people extra for something they already owned and paid for. After all, ripping off gullible consumers is effectively now considered little more than creative marketing by a notable segment of government "leaders" (see: regulatory apathy over misleading hidden fees in everything from hotels to cable TV). apply tags__________ 170888093 story [70]Bitcoin [71]White House Proposes 30% Tax On Electricity Used For Crypto Mining [72](engadget.com) [73]55 Posted by [74]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @09:25PM from the energy-consumptions dept. Longtime Slashdot reader [75]SonicSpike shares a report from Engadget: The Biden administration [76]wants to impose a 30 percent tax on the electricity used by cryptocurrency mining operations, and it has included the proposal in its budget for the fiscal year of 2024. In a [77]blog post on the White House website, the administration has formally introduced the Digital Asset Mining Energy or DAME excise tax. It explained that it wants to tax cryptomining firms, because they aren't paying for the "full cost they impose on others," which include environmental pollution and high energy prices. Crypto mining has "negative spillovers on the environment," the White House continued, and the pollution it generates "falls disproportionately on low-income neighborhoods and communities of color." It added that the operations' "often volatile power consumption " can raise electricity prices for the people around them and cause service interruptions. Further, local power companies are taking a risk if they decide to upgrade their equipment to make their service more stable, since miners can easily move away to another location, even abroad. As [78]Yahoo News noted, there are other industries, such as steel manufacturing, that also use large amounts of electricity but aren't taxed for their energy consumption. In its post, the administration said that cryptomining "does not generate the local and national economic benefits typically associated with businesses using similar amounts of electricity." Critics believe that the government made this proposal to go after and harm an industry it doesn't support. A [79]Forbes report also suggested that DAME may not be the best solution for the issue, and that taxing the industry's greenhouse gas emissions might be a better alternative. That could encourage mining firms not just to minimize energy use, but also to find cleaner sources of power. It might be difficult to convince the administration to go down that route, though: In its blog post, it said that the "environmental impacts of cryptomining exist even when miners use existing clean power." Apparently, mining operations in communities with hydropower have been observed to reduce the amount of clean power available for use by others. That leads to higher prices and to even higher consumption of electricity from non-clean sources. "If the proposal ever becomes a law, the government would impose the excise tax in phases," adds Engadget. "It would start by adding a 10 percent tax on miners' electricity use in the first year, 20 percent in the second and then 30 percent from the third year onwards." apply tags__________ 170887661 story [80]The Media [81]Vice Media Group Preps $400 Million Sale To George Soros and Fortress [82](variety.com) [83]28 Posted by [84]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @08:45PM from the latest-developments dept. Vice Media Group is [85]planning to sell to investors for about $400 million -- a fraction of its once high-flying $5.7 billion valuation back in 2017. The investors include Fortress Investment Group and Soros Fund Management, according to the [86]Wall Street Journal. Variety reports: Cash-strapped Vice Media has been searching for a buyer over the past year, to no avail. In February, Nancy Dubuc announced her exit as CEO after almost five years. The company subsequently appointed longtime execs Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala as co-CEOs. Under the proposed sale to "senior lenders," Fortress "plans to find a role for Vice co-founder Shane Smith," who is executive chairman and previously served as CEO prior to Dubuc's hire. The bankruptcy and sale would "wipe out" most of Vice's other shareholders, including TPG Group and James Murdoch (who invested in the company via his Lupa Systems investment firm), per the Journal report. Vice has been unable to pay many of its vendors and recently secured a $30 million "lifeline" from Fortress, the Journal previously reported. Last week, the New York Times reported that Vice Media was [87]preparing for bankruptcy after being unable to find a buyer. It announced a series of layoffs and said it was pulling the plug on "Vice News Tonight." apply tags__________ 170887619 story [88]The Almighty Buck [89]Unionized Apple Store Workers Want You To Start Tipping Them [90](businessinsider.com) [91]134 Posted by [92]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @08:02PM from the controversial-proposals dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Insider: Employees at Apple's first unionized store in Towson, Maryland are [93]pushing for a contract that includes the introduction of tipping. The proposed system would allow customers to tip store workers in increments of 3%, 5%, or a customized amount for in-store credit card transactions. It's part of a broader list of economic proposals as the union heads into negotiation with Apple. Bloomberg [94]first reported the details of the proposals Wednesday. The employees at the Towson store organized as the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees in June when they [95]voted to be represented by The International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers. CORE's Twitter account outlined some of the proposals in [96]a thread on Thursday, where it acknowledged the tipping system might be a "little controversial." "A big ask from our team when preparing for negotiations was to include some sort of profit-sharing or bonus structure," the union said in the thread. "We thought a lot about the easiest way to accomplish this and we thought adopting a model already used by other workers who provide services to their community might be the simplest to implement." The union also noted that "all monies collected through this manner would be dispersed to members of the bargaining unit biweekly based on any hours worked." Other proposals for negotiation with Apple include expanding Apple's list of paid holidays, increasing vacation time for full-time and part-time employees, and offering wellness leave. They're also asking Apple to double pay for staffers who work over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, double overtime weekend pay, increased pay for first-aid certified workers, and offering a maximum of 34 weeks of severance pay after layoffs. "We realize that this is a negotiation, and these are initial proposals," said a union representative. "Our goal is and always has been to bring back an acceptable contract for the membership to ratify." apply tags__________ 170887507 story [97]AI [98]OpenAI No Longer Relies On API Customer Data To Train ChatGPT [99]5 Posted by [100]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @07:20PM from the change-of-plans dept. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC that the company [101]no longer trains its AI large-language models such as GPT with paying customer data. "Customers clearly want us not to train on their data, so we've changed our plans: We will not do that," Altman told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin. From the report: OpenAI's terms of service were quietly updated March 1, records from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine show. "We don't train on any API data at all, we haven't for a while," Altman told CNBC. APIs, or application programming interfaces, are frameworks that allow customers to plug directly into OpenAI's software. OpenAI's business customers, which include Microsoft, Salesforce and Snapchat, are more likely to take advantage of OpenAI's API capabilities. But OpenAI's new privacy and data protection extends only to customers who use the company's API services. "We may use Content from Services other than our API," the company's updated Terms of Use note. That could include, for example, text that employees enter into the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT. Amazon reportedly recently warned employees not to share confidential information with ChatGPT for fear that it might show up in answers. apply tags__________ 170887361 story [102]Advertising [103]Gmail Is Starting To Show Ads In the Middle of the Inbox [104](9to5google.com) [105]39 Posted by [106]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @06:40PM from the ads-make-the-world-go-round dept. Gmail is [107]starting to show more ads on mobile devices and the web. "Starting on mobile, we've observed that Google is now showing ads within your inbox's 'Updates' filter," reports 9to5Google. "That automatic filter is designed to capture emails regarding orders, select promotions, billing statements, and more. Now, Gmail is starting to show two ads at the top of the 'Updates' tab, just like it does on the other tabs." From the report: Beyond that, it also appears that Gmail is starting to mix its ads on desktop throughout the list of emails under Gmail tabs -- they're at least not showing in the main inbox. Dozens of [108]reports on Twitter show the change just in the past two days, though we haven't been able to replicate it in our own inbox. Some users [109]also report seeing more ads in general, instead of the two that Google would typically show. There doesn't appear to be any new setting to change the placement of ads in the inbox lists, and it's not even clear if this is a change that Google is rolling out to all users. In any case, though, the overwhelming opinion seems to be negative regarding the change -- which is fully understandable. apply tags__________ 170887323 story [110]Privacy [111]Journalist Writes About Discovering She'd Been Surveilled By TikTok [112](arstechnica.com) [113]29 Posted by [114]BeauHD on Friday May 05, 2023 @06:00PM from the not-a-good-look dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Financial Times, written by journalist Cristina Criddle: One evening in late December last year, I received a cryptic phone call from a PR director at TikTok, the popular social media app. I'd written extensively about the company for the Financial Times, so we'd spoken before. But it was puzzling to hear from her just before the holidays, especially since I wasn't working on anything related to the company at the time. The call lasted less than a minute. She wanted me to know, "as a courtesy," that The New York Times had just [115]published a story I ought to read. Confused by this unusual bespoke news alert, I asked why. But all she said was that it concerned an inquiry at ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, and that I should call her back once I'd read it. The story claimed ByteDance employees accessed two reporters' data through their TikTok accounts. Personal information, including their physical locations, had been used as part of an attempt to find the writers' sources, after a series of damaging stories about ByteDance. According to the report, two employees in China and two in the US left the company following an internal investigation. In a staff memo, ByteDance's chief executive lamented the incident as the "misconduct of a few individuals." When I phoned the PR director back, she [116]confirmed I was one of the journalists who had been surveilled. I put down my phone and wondered what it meant that a company I reported on had gone to such lengths to restrict my ability to do so. Over the following months, the episode became just one in a long series of scandals and crises that call into question what TikTok really is and whether the company has the world-dominating future that once seemed inevitable. apply tags__________ 170886806 story [117]AI [118]Hugging Face and ServiceNow Release a Free Code-Generating Model [119](techcrunch.com) [120]11 Posted by msmash on Friday May 05, 2023 @05:22PM from the more-help dept. AI startup Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research, ServiceNow's R&D division, [121]have released StarCoder, a free alternative to code-generating AI systems along the lines of GitHub's Copilot. From a report: Code-generating systems like DeepMind's AlphaCode; Amazon's CodeWhisperer; and OpenAI's Codex, which powers Copilot, provide a tantalizing glimpse at what's possible with AI within the realm of computer programming. Assuming the ethical, technical and legal issues are someday ironed out (and AI-powered coding tools don't cause more bugs and security exploits than they solve), they could cut development costs substantially while allowing coders to focus on more creative tasks. According to a study from the University of Cambridge, at least half of developers' efforts are spent debugging and not actively programming, which costs the software industry an estimated $312 billion per year. But so far, only a handful of code-generating AI systems have been made freely available to the public -- reflecting the commercial incentives of the organizations building them (see: Replit). StarCoder, which by contrast is licensed to allow for royalty-free use by anyone, including corporations, was trained on over 80 programming languages as well as text from GitHub repositories, including documentation and programming notebooks. StarCoder integrates with Microsoft's Visual Studio Code code editor and, like OpenAI's ChatGPT, can follow basic instructions (e.g., "create an app UI") and answer questions about code. apply tags__________ 170886879 story [122]Piracy [123]US Seizes Z-Library Login Domain, But Secret URLs for Each User Remain Active [124](arstechnica.com) [125]10 Posted by msmash on Friday May 05, 2023 @04:40PM from the tussle-continues dept. US authorities have [126]seized another major Z-Library domain but still haven't been able to wipe the pirate book site off the Internet. From a report: Z-Library claims to offer over 13 million books, up from 11 million since US authorities launched their first major operation against Z-Library late last year. "Unfortunately, one of our primary login domains was seized today," Z-Library wrote in a Wednesday message on its Telegram account. "Therefore, we recommend using the domain singlelogin[dot]re to log in to your account, as well as to register. Please share this domain with others." In November, US authorities charged Russian nationals Anton Napolsky and Valeriia Ermakova with criminal copyright infringement, wire fraud, and money laundering for allegedly operating Z-Library. The US said at the time that it seized 250 "interrelated web domains" run by Z-Library and that Napolsky and Ermakova were arrested in Argentina at the request of the US government. Other people continue to operate Z-Library, which remained available on the Tor network and returned to the clearnet in February with a new strategy of assigning personal, secret URLs to each user. Z-Library directed users to singlelogin[dot]me, where they could sign in with their login credentials and receive a unique URL to access the entire pirate library. apply tags__________ 170886837 story [127]Games [128]Fortnite Headed To the Olympics as an Official Esport [129](gamespot.com) [130]29 Posted by msmash on Friday May 05, 2023 @04:01PM from the how-about-that dept. Fortnite is [131]now an official Olympic (e)sport, as Epic's metaverse game will be part of the inaugural Olympic Esports Week line-up. From a report Taking place in Singapore, the four-day festival of "virtual sports and gaming" created by the International Olympics Committee will see a dozen players from the Fortnite Champion Series compete in a sharpshooting competition backed by the International Shooting Sport Federation. This event will be (virtually) held on a Fortnite Creative Island that was created just for the event and will showcase the marksmanship of Fortnite's best sharpshooters. If you can't make it to Singapore on June 24, the competition will be livestreamed through the official Olympics website and through the organization's social media channels. apply tags__________ 170886917 story [132]AI [133]AI Is the Hot Topic on Earnings Calls This Quarter [134](bloomberg.com) [135]34 Posted by msmash on Friday May 05, 2023 @03:20PM from the talk-of-the-town dept. The mania for artificial intelligence is showing no sign of letting up in corporate America, with references to AI and related terms during calls with [136]investors more than doubling from a year ago. From a report: Companies are scrambling to show they're at the forefront of finding ways to use algorithms that can parse enormous quantities of information based on simple prompts or images. AI promises to change the way business gets done, from hiring (or firing) staff to calming angry customers in an online chat. Growing alarm from industry leaders and governments at the potential dangers of the new technology hasn't deterred companies from voicing their commitment. The discussions build on the wave of interest following OpenAI's launch of the ChatGPT chatbot in November, which drove a 77% pickup in mentions of AI in earnings calls in the fourth quarter. The pace only intensified in the first-quarter calls -- there have been 1,072 mentions so far among companies in the S&P 500, from Meta Platforms to Alphabet and well beyond the tech industry. apply tags__________ 170886768 story [137]Bitcoin [138]New York AG Proposes Landmark Crypto Law, Citing 'Dysfunction' [139](bloomberg.com) [140]19 Posted by msmash on Friday May 05, 2023 @02:41PM from the heightened-scrutiny dept. New York Attorney General Letitia James proposed a state law to tighten rules over cryptocurrency companies in her latest swing at an industry she claims is suffering from "rampant fraud and dysfunction." From a report: Under her proposal, New York would require [141]independent public audits of crypto exchanges and bar people from owning both brokerages and tokens to prevent conflicts of interest. In a statement Friday, James called her proposal "the strongest and most comprehensive set of regulations on cryptocurrency in the nation." The measures, which first need to be adopted by state lawmakers, also would require crypto platforms to reimburse customers who are victims of fraud and strengthen the authority of the New York State Department of Financial Services to regulate digital assets, according to the statement. "Millions of investors have lost hundreds of billions in the value of their cryptocurrency investments because of rampant fraud, including market manipulation, hacking, and opaque business practices," James said. According to the attorney general, her proposal will be submitted to lawmakers for the 2023 legislative session. apply tags__________ [142]« Newer [143]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [144]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Recently, an open letter signed by tech leaders, researchers proposes delaying AI development.
