Tech YouTuber Dave Lee [43]provided a hands-on first look at the new [44]PlayStation 5 "slim" and gave a preview of [45]how it looks compared to the original 2020 launch versions. Kotaku reports: One of his biggest takeaways is that the console, while lighter, doesn't necessarily feel that much smaller in contrast to initial predictions. Maybe that's why Sony's not officially marketing the new device as a "slim" version. From there, Lee runs through some of the less obvious changes. A few we already knew about like the USB-a slot on the front being replaced by two USB-c ports, as well as the t side panels split into two pieces to accommodate the new detachable disc drive. Lee actually showed how the disc drive comes out, and it looks really simple and convenient. There's no screws involved. Instead, putting pressure on a tab releases it from the housing while a socket near the bottom is how it plugs into the rest of the console. Less neat are the new see-thru plastic pegs that stabilize the console when it's laid horizontal. While they've been added to help secure the PS5 given its new detachable disc drive design, Lee was unimpressed. I kind of agree. They're not a very elegant solution. The same goes for the divided panels themselves. I didn't realize this before, but they actually have different finishes. The bottom is a matte white that's a little different from the current PS5 plates and the top has a glossy finish. Inside the new PS5, Lee pointed out a handful of differences. The top heat exhaust is less stylized, with plain vents instead of a snail shell like spiral. The internal SSD unit layout is also different. That's the piece that powers the PS5's lighting-quick load speeds, and it's not yet clear if the new design will impact performance at all. Lee's initial testing showed there was no real difference. It will also be interesting to see how the new PS5s deal with heat given its the same CPU running in a smaller layout. apply tags__________ 172186238 story [46]Encryption [47]Scientist Claims Quantum RSA-2048 Encryption Cracking Breakthrough [48](tomshardware.com) [49]49 Posted by [50]BeauHD on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @02:00AM from the proof-is-in-the-pudding dept. Mark Tyson reports via Tom's Hardware: A commercial smartphone or Linux computer [51]can be used to crack RSA-2048 encryption, according to a prominent research scientist. Dr Ed Gerck is preparing a research paper with the details but couldn't hold off from bragging about his incredible quantum computing achievement (if true) on his [52]LinkedIn profile. Let us be clear: the claims seem spurious, but it should be recognized that the world isn't ready for an off-the-shelf system that can crack RSA-2048, as major firms, organizations, and governments haven't yet transitioned to encryption tech that is secured for the post-quantum era. In his social media post, Gerck states that a humble device like a smartphone can crack the strongest RSA encryption keys in use today due to a mathematical technique that "has been hidden for about 2,500 years -- since Pythagoras." He went on to make clear that no cryogenics or special materials were used in the RSA-2048 key-cracking feat. BankInfoSecurity [53]reached out to Gerck in search of some more detailed information about his claimed RSA-2048 breakthrough and in the hope of some evidence that what is claimed is possible and practical. Gerck shared an abstract of his [54]upcoming paper. This appears to show that instead of using Shor's algorithm to crack the keys, a system based on quantum mechanics was used, and it can run on a smartphone or PC. In some ways, it is good that the claimed breakthrough doesn't claim to use Shor's algorithm. Alan Woodward, a professor of computer science at the University of Surrey, told BankInfoSecurity that no quantum computer in existence has enough gates to implement Shor's algorithm and break RSA-2048. So at least this part of Gerck's explanation checks out. However, the abstract of Gerck's paper looks like it is "all theory proving various conjectures - and those proofs are definitely in question," according to Woodward. The BankInfoSecurity report on Gerck's "QC Algorithms: Faster Calculation of Prime Numbers" paper quotes other skeptics, most of whom are waiting for more information and proofs before they organize a standing ovation for Gerck. apply tags__________ 172186122 story [55]Medicine [56]Parkinson's Patient Able To Walk Again Without Problems After Spinal Implant [57]9 Posted by [58]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @10:30PM from the life-changing-tech dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Marc, 63, from Bordeaux, France, was diagnosed with the degenerative disease more than 20 years ago and had developed severe mobility problems, including balance impairments and freezing of gait. After receiving the implant, which aims to restore normal signaling to the leg muscles from the spine, he has been [59]able to walk more normally and regained his independence. "I practically could not walk any more without falling frequently, several times a day. In some situations, such as entering a lift, I'd trample on the spot, as though I was frozen there, you might say," he said. "Right now, I'm not even afraid of the stairs any more. Every Sunday I go to the lake, and I walk around 6 kilometers [3.7 miles]. It's incredible." The implant is yet to be tested in a full clinical trial. But the Swiss team, who have a longstanding program to develop brain-machine interfaces to overcome paralysis, hope that their technology could offer an entirely new approach to treating movement deficits in those with Parkinson's disease. "It is impressive to see how by electrically stimulating the spinal cord in a targeted manner, in the same way as we have done with paraplegic patients, we can correct walking disorders caused by Parkinson's disease," said Jocelyne Bloch, neurosurgeon and professor at the CHUV Lausanne University hospital, who co-led the work. First, the team developed a personalized anatomical map of Marc's spinal cord that identified the precise locations that were involved in signaling to the leg to move. Electrodes were then implanted at these locations, allowing stimulation to be delivered directly into the spine. The patient wears a movement sensor on each leg and when walking is initiated the implant automatically switches on and begins delivering pulses of stimulation to the spinal neurons. The aim is to correct abnormal signals that are sent from the brain, down the spine, to the legs in order to restore normal movement. "At no point is [the patient] controlled by the machine," said Prof Eduardo Martin Moraud, of Lausanne University hospital. "It's just enhancing his capacity to walk." The study, [60]published in Nature Medicine, found that the implant improved walking and balance deficits and when Marc's walking was analyzed it more closely resembled that of healthy controls than that of other Parkinson's patients. Marc also reported significant improvements in his quality of life. apply tags__________ 172186040 story [61]The Military [62]US Military Members' Personal Data Being Sold By Online Brokers, Report Finds [63]19 Posted by [64]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @09:02PM from the behind-the-scenes dept. Jacob Knutson reports via Axios: Sensitive, highly detailed personal data for thousands of active-duty and veteran U.S. military members can be [65]purchased for as little as one cent per name through data broker websites, according to a [66]new study (PDF) published on Monday by Duke University researchers. [...] The data about military personnel purchased as part of the study included full names, physical and email addresses, health and financial information and details about their ethnicity, religious practices and political affiliation. In some cases, the information also included whether the person owned or rented a home, was married or had children. The children's ages and sexes were accessible, too. The researchers bought data on up to around 45,000 military personnel for between $0.12 to $0.32 per record. They also bought data belonging to 5,000 friends and family members of military personnel. Larger data purchases of over 1.5 million service members were available for as little as $0.01 per record from at least one broker the researchers contacted. The researchers called on Congress to pass a comprehensive privacy law and for regulatory agencies like the Federal Trade Commission to develop rules to govern military personnel data purchases. apply tags__________ 172186062 story [67]The Almighty Buck [68]California Wants To End Cupertino's Tax Deal With Apple [69](appleinsider.com) [70]34 Posted by [71]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @08:25PM from the what-to-expect dept. William Gallagher reports via Appleinsider: In a move similar in principle to how the EU retrospectively sought to fine Apple over its tax agreement with Ireland, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) is [72]changing the company's arrangement with Cupertino. Since 1998, Apple has declared all of its online sales made in California as having taken place in Cupertino. As first spotted by the [73]San Jose Spotlight, this means that of Apple's 7.25% sales tax, the local 1% portion goes to the city. Then under the same deal, Cupertino actually returns approximately one third of this revenue to Apple. Consequently the benefit to Apple is clear, but also Cupertino profits because it sees significantly greater sales tax revenue than it otherwise might. "The CDTFA has done an audit of one of our big taxpayers and has identified that there are dollars being allocated improperly," Cupertino Assistant City Manager Matt Morley told the publication, "and through that audit they are asking for that process to be corrected." "The city obviously isn't happy with this and we don't believe the CDTFA is on base," continued Morley. Reportedly, the CDTFA's state tax officials have concluded that the city of Cupertino owes it $56.5 million. This is for the period from April 2021 to June 2023, though it's not clear how those dates were determined. At the same time, the tax officials are said to have decided that Apple must reimburse the state $20 million. This figure would then be reallocated to other areas of the state. The impact on Cupertino could be significant, but the city is appealing the ruling -- and the appeal could take anywhere from seven to ten years. Even so, the Cupertino City Council has agreed to set aside the $56.5 million to prepare for the potential future loss. Should the CDTFA prevail, Cupertino's Morley said non-essential city services could be reduced or even cut. Annually, Cupertino would see a 73% drop in sales tax revenues, and would face having to cut almost a quarter of its operational costs. apply tags__________ 172186022 story [74]Transportation [75]Washington DC Gives Residents Free AirTags To Help Track Stolen Cars [76](pcmag.com) [77]70 Posted by [78]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @07:45PM from the tech-as-a-solution dept. The city of Washington D.C. is [79]planning to give residents Apple AirTags to help officers track down stolen vehicles. PCMag reports: "Last week, we introduced legislation to address recent crime trends; this week, we are equipping residents with technology that will allow MPD to address these crimes, recover vehicles, and hold people accountable," D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in [80]a statement. "We have had success with similar programs where we make it easier for the community and MPD to work together -- from our Private Security Camera Incentive Program to the wheel lock distribution program -- and we will continue to use all the tools we have, and add new tools, to keep our city safe." At launch, the AirTags will be available to residents in specific areas of the city that have recently seen the largest increase in vehicle thefts. To obtain the tags, residents will have to attend one of three scheduled distribution events next week where officers will install the device on the resident's cars and help them set up the tracking tag on their mobile devices. The program is currently available for residents who live in Police Service Areas 106, 501, 502, 603, 605, and 606.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Today at its first-ever developer conference, OpenAI [87]unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, an improved version of its flagship text-generating AI model, GPT-4, that the company claims is both "more powerful" and less expensive. GPT-4 Turbo comes in two versions: one that's strictly text-analyzing and a second version that understands the context of both text and images. The text-analyzing model is available in preview via an API starting today, and OpenAI says it plans to make both generally available "in the coming weeks." They're priced at $0.01 per 1,000 input tokens (~750 words), where "tokens" represent bits of raw text -- e.g., the word "fantastic" split into "fan," "tas" and "tic") and $0.03 per 1,000 output tokens. (Input tokens are tokens fed into the model, while output tokens are tokens that the model generates based on the input tokens.) The pricing of the image-processing GPT-4 Turbo will depend on the image size. For example, passing an image with 1080x1080 pixels to GPT-4 Turbo will cost $0.00765, OpenAI says. "We optimized performance so we're able to offer GPT-4 Turbo at a 3x cheaper price for input tokens and a 2x cheaper price for output tokens compared to GPT-4," OpenAI writes in a blog post shared with TechCrunch this morning. GPT-4 Turbo boasts several improvements over GPT-4 -- one being a more recent knowledge base to draw on when responding to requests. [...] GPT-4 Turbo offers a 128,000-token context window -- four times the size of GPT-4's and the largest context window of any commercially available model, surpassing even Anthropic's Claude 2. (Claude 2 supports up to 100,000 tokens; Anthropic claims to be experimenting with a 200,000-token context window but has yet to publicly release it.) 128,000 tokens translates to around 100,000 words or 300 pages, which for reference is around the length of Wuthering Height, Gulliver's Travels and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And GPT-4 Turbo supports a new "JSON mode," which ensures that the model responds with valid [88]JSON -- the open standard file format and data interchange format. apply tags__________ 172185458 story [89]AI [90]OpenAI Offers To Pay For ChatGPT Customers' Copyright Lawsuits [91](theguardian.com) [92]24 Posted by [93]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @06:20PM from the legal-protections dept. Blake Montgomery reports via The Guardian: Rather than remove copyrighted material from ChatGPT's training dataset, the chatbot's creator is [94]offering to cover its clients' legal costs for copyright infringement suits. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Monday: "We can defend our customers and pay the costs incurred if you face legal claims around copyright infringement and this applies both to ChatGPT Enterprise and the API." The compensation offer, which OpenAI is calling Copyright Shield, applies to users of the business tier, ChatGPT Enterprise, and to developers using ChatGPT's application programming interface. Users of the free version of ChatGPT or ChatGPT+ were not included. [...] Getty Images, Shutterstock and Adobe have extended similar financial liability protection for their image-making software. The announcement was made at the company's first-ever developer conference today, where Altman said there are now [95]100 million weekly ChatGPT users. The company also announced a platform for [96]making custom versions of ChatGPT for specific use cases -- no coding required. apply tags__________ 172185412 story [97]Youtube [98]YouTube Tests a 'Play Something' Button [99](theverge.com) [100]22 Posted by [101]BeauHD on Monday November 06, 2023 @05:42PM from the I'm-feeling-lucky dept. Emma Roth reports via The Verge: YouTube appears to be [102]testing a new "play something" button on its mobile app that directs you to a random video when you don't know what to watch. As first spotted by [103]Android Police, the prompt shows up between content as you scroll through the feed on your homepage -- but only some users are seeing it. While Android Police mentions that the button only directs users to YouTube Shorts, one of my colleagues here at The Verge found that the feature also shows them random full-length videos.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Attendees at a conference for Bored Ape NFT owners are reporting waking up in the middle of the night following laser and blacklight-heavy performances [109]with extreme eye pain and vision loss. Yuga Labs, the parent company of Bored Ape Yacht Club, hosted ApeFest in Hong Kong from November 3-5. The event was open to holders of Bored Ape NFTs, a crypto project that peaked in 2021 and recently crashed to a [110]two-year low, costing many investors thousands of dollars. "I woke up at 04:00 and couldn't see anymore. Had so much pain and my whole skin is burned. Needed to go to the hospital," one attendee [111]posted on the last day of the event. "The doctor told me the uv of the lightning of the stage did it. It has the same effect as sunlight. Still can not see normally.." "Same here for me and +1. I had eyeglasses, so was a bit spared, but skin is burned and +1 had the same degree of issues with eyes," someone [112]replied. "The toilets may have been great, but what happened to our eyeballs last night at #ApeFest?" [113]another attendee wrote, as a follow-up to a photo of him sitting on a toilet with his pants around his ankles in a room bathed in intense blacklights. "Been to lots of concerts, festivals, Burning Man, and never have I ever experienced fucked eyes like this." Even as they woke up in the middle of the night with blinding eye pain, some attendees still praised the organizers for the event. "Thanks for great apefest logistiscs guys @yugalabs & @BoredApeYC. Incredible event and met plenty of amazing people," [114]one wrote. "Still, as dozens of others, I've almost lost sight this night." They suggested others get their eyes checked like they did, and said their eyes were burned by UV. "To the organisers: For the communication & awareness reasons, it would be fair to put together an official statement with recommendations what to do, as dozens of people you care about were exposed to serious health hazards and lots of suffering," they continued. "You're good guys so it should be easy for you to recognise the seriousness of it." Photos and videos from the event show crowds of young men doing some of the worst moshing I've ever seen to performances and conference rooms soaked in blacklight and lasers. Where in the venue the damage was done is still unclear. Bored Ape Yacht Club acknowledged the issue in a post early Monday morning: "Apes, we are aware of the eye-related issues that affected some of the attendees of ApeFest and have been proactively reaching out to individuals since yesterday to try and find the potential root causes," the official account [115]tweeted. "Based on our estimates, we believe that much less than 1% of those attending and working the event had these symptoms. While nearly everyone has indicated their symptoms have improved, we encourage anybody who feels them to seek medical attention just in case." apply tags__________ 172184782 story [116]AI [117]Microsoft is Bringing AI Characters To Xbox [118](theverge.com) [119]16 Posted by msmash on Monday November 06, 2023 @04:20PM from the pushing-the-limits dept.

After years of inflation, Americans are used to sticker shock. But nothing compares to [125]the surging price of streaming video. From a report: Last week, Apple TV+ became the latest streaming service to raise its price -- up from $6.99 to $9.99 per month -- following the example of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and Netflix, which all hiked their prices in October. Half of the major streaming platforms in the U.S. now charge a monthly fee that's double the price they charged when they initially came to market. And many of these streaming services haven't even been around for 10 years. Consumers have grumbled, but have so far been willing to keep paying up. It's hard to say where their breaking point will be, but given that analysts believe the platforms are likely to continue raising prices even further, we'll probably find out soon enough. Part of what's driving the price hikes is how saturated the streaming market has become. For a company like Netflix, which has 77 million paid subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, finding new paying subscribers to keep revenue growing is not easy. Netflix has started clamping down on password sharing to boost its paid subscriber rolls, but that only goes so far. Raising prices for existing subscribers is an effective way to pump up the top line and keep investors happy. apply tags__________ 172184010 story [126]Businesses [127]Citigroup Considering At Least 10% Job Cuts in Major Businesses [128]13 Posted by msmash on Monday November 06, 2023 @03:00PM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept. Citigroup's managers and consultants working on CEO Jane Fraser's reorganization have discussed job [129]cuts of at least 10% in several major businesses, CNBC reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the process. Reuters: The bank has warned of job cuts as part of a sweeping overhaul it unveiled in September, but has said it will estimate the scale of layoffs and cost savings in the current quarter. The reorganization, known internally as "Project Bora Bora" according to CNBC, is intended to give Fraser more direct control as she seeks to simplify the Wall Street giant and boost its stock price. The discussions are at an early stage and the number of people axed could change, CNBC said, adding that the lender had hired Boston Consulting Group for the plan. Fraser's push to eliminate regional managers, co-heads and others with overlapping roles will translate into job cuts beyond 10% for executives, the report said. Last month, Citi said it would cut management layers from 13 to eight. In the two top layers of leadership, 15% of functional roles were reduced and 60 committees were eliminated, it said The bank's global headcount has stayed at 240,000 this year, it disclosed in its latest quarterly supplement last month. apply tags__________ 172183844 story [130]AI [131]OpenAI Says ChatGPT Has 100 Million Weekly Users [132](theverge.com) [133]12 Posted by msmash on Monday November 06, 2023 @02:21PM from the aggressive-expansion dept. 100 million people are using ChatGPT on a weekly basis, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman [134]announced at its first-ever developer conference on Monday.

With the release of ChatGPT one year ago, OpenAI introduced the world to the idea of an AI chatbot that can seemingly do anything. Now, the company is releasing a platform for [139]making custom versions of ChatGPT for specific use cases -- no coding required. From a report: In the coming weeks, these AI agents, which OpenAI is calling GPTs, will be accessible through the GPT Store. Details about how the store will look and work are scarce for now, though OpenAI is promising to eventually pay creators an unspecified amount based on how much their GPTs are used. GPTs will be available to paying ChatGPT Plus subscribers and OpenAI enterprise customers, who can make internal-only GPTs for their employees. Custom GPTs were announced Monday at DevDay, OpenAI's first-ever developer conference in San Francisco, where the company also announced a turbocharged, cheaper GPT-4, lower prices for developers using its models in their apps, and the news that ChatGPT has reached a staggering 100 million weekly users. "Since launching ChatGPT, people have been asking for ways to customize ChatGPT to fit specific ways that they use it," OpenAI said in a statement shared with The Verge. "We launched Custom Instructions in July that let you set some preferences, but requests for more control kept coming.
