Meta Platforms has [41]canceled plans for a premium mixed-reality headset intended to compete with Apple's Vision Pro, The Information reported Friday, citing sources. From the report: Meta told employees at the company's Reality Labs division to stop work on the device this week after a product review meeting attended by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth and other Meta executives, the employees said. The axed device, which was internally code-named La Jolla, began development in November and was scheduled for release in 2027, according to current and former Meta employees. It was going to contain ultrahigh-resolution screens known as micro OLEDs -- the same display technology used in Apple's Vision Pro. apply tags__________ 174819618 story [42]Microsoft [43]Microsoft Plans Windows Security Overhaul After CrowdStrike Outage [44]10 Posted by msmash on Friday August 23, 2024 @11:20AM from the up-next dept. Microsoft is stepping up its plans to [45]make Windows more resilient to buggy software [[46]non-paywalled source] after a botched CrowdStrike update took down millions of PCs and servers in a global IT outage. Financial Times: The tech giant has in the past month intensified talks with partners about adapting the security procedures around its operating system to better withstand the kind of software error that crashed 8.5mn Windows devices on July 19. Critics say that any changes by Microsoft would amount to a concession of shortcomings in Windows' handling of third-party security software that could have been addressed sooner. Yet they would also prove controversial among security vendors that would have to make radical changes to their products, and force many Microsoft customers to adapt their software. Last month's outages -- which are estimated to have caused billions of dollars in damages after grounding thousands of flights and disrupting hospital appointments worldwide -- heightened scrutiny from regulators and business leaders over the extent of access that third-party software vendors have to the core, or kernel, of Windows operating systems. Microsoft will host a summit next month for government representatives and cyber security companies, including CrowdStrike, to discuss "improving resiliency and protecting mutual customers' critical infrastructure," Microsoft said on Friday. apply tags__________ 174819234 story [47]United States [48]Fed's Powell Declares 'Time Has Come' for Rate Cuts [49](wsj.com) [50]54 Posted by msmash on Friday August 23, 2024 @10:40AM from the breaking-news dept. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave his strongest signal yet that [51]interest-rate cuts are coming soon, saying the central bank intends to act to stave off a further weakening of the U.S. labor market. From a report: "We do not seek or welcome further cooling in labor market conditions," Powell said in prepared remarks for a speech at the central bank's annual gathering in the Grand Teton National Park on Friday. "The time has come for policy to adjust." Fed officials' next policy meeting is scheduled for Sept. 17-18. They are widely expected to lower the benchmark federal-funds rate at that meeting. Powell's comments Friday all but bring to a conclusion the Fed's historic inflation-fighting campaign, one that Powell amplified from the same stage two years ago when he signaled his readiness to accept a recession as the price of lowering inflation. The Fed held rates steady at its most-recent meeting in late July, though several officials saw a case for cutting at that meeting. Two days later, the Labor Department reported that unemployment rose to its highest rate in nearly three years. Inflation, while still above the Fed's 2% target, has been falling steadily in recent months. apply tags__________ 174816332 story [52]Microsoft [53]Microsoft Says It's Getting Rid of Control Panel in Windows [54]128 Posted by msmash on Friday August 23, 2024 @10:00AM from the end-of-an-era dept. Microsoft plans to phase out Windows Control Panel, a feature dating back to the 1980s, in favor of the modern Settings app, according to [55]a recent support page. The tech giant has been gradually shifting functions to Settings since 2015, aiming for a more streamlined user experience. However, no specific timeline for Control Panel's complete removal has been announced. Microsoft writes in the support page: The Control Panel is a feature that's been part of Windows for a long time. It provides a centralized location to view and manipulate system settings and controls. Through a series of applets, you can adjust various options ranging from system time and date to hardware settings, network configurations, and more. The Control Panel is in the process of being deprecated in favor of the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience. apply tags__________ 174814766 story [56]Australia [57]Australian Competition Regulator To Monitor Domestic Air Fares [58](yahoo.com) [59]4 Posted by msmash on Friday August 23, 2024 @09:00AM from the protecting-the-markets dept. Australia's competition regulator has announced that it will [60]closely monitor domestic air fares between metropolitan cities after local carrier Regional Express withdrew from the market last month as it entered voluntary administration. From a report: Rex is the second domestic airline to take that route this year. Low-cost airline Bonza was the first. It said in April it had suspended flights, and would assess the viability of its business. The collapse of Bonza and the withdrawal of Rex between metropolitan cities means that no domestic route had more than two competing airline groups as of July, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said. apply tags__________ 174815582 story [61]Transportation [62]Cruise Partners With Uber To Offer Driverless Rides [63](cnbc.com) [64]11 Posted by [65]BeauHD on Friday August 23, 2024 @06:00AM from the what-to-expect dept. Uber and General Motors' Cruise have [66]partnered to offer driverless rides to Uber users as early as soon as next year. CNBC reports: Both Cruise CEO Marc Whitten and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi hailed the partnership in a press release, stressing that the companies believe autonomous vehicles can be deployed safely. "Cruise is on a mission to leverage driverless technology to create safer streets and redefine urban life," Whitten said in the release. "We are excited to partner with Uber to bring the benefits of safe, reliable, autonomous driving to even more people, unlocking a new era of urban mobility." Khosrowshahi said in the release that Uber is "thrilled to partner with Cruise and look forward to launching next year." On Uber's most recent earnings call, analysts asked the company how the emergence of robotaxis would likely impact the ridehailing giant's business long-term. Khosrowshahi said on the call that "AV players" experience much higher utilization with Uber than they do "without a network on a first-party basis." He also predicted there will be a "pretty long hybrid period as autonomous is developing and regulators are trying to figure out exactly how to regulate it." He added, "We don't think this will be a winner-take-all market." apply tags__________ 174815644 story [67]Space [68]The Wow! Signal Deciphered. It Was Hydrogen All Along. [69](universetoday.com) [70]23 Posted by [71]BeauHD on Friday August 23, 2024 @03:00AM from the false-alarm dept. The [72]Wow! signal, detected on August 15, 1977, was an intense radio transmission that appeared artificial and raised the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. However, recent research suggests it may have been caused by a natural astrophysical event [73]involving a magnetar flare striking a hydrogen cloud. Universe Today reports: New research shows that the Wow! Signal has an entirely natural explanation. The research is "[74]Arecibo Wow! I: An Astrophysical Explanation for the Wow! Signal." The lead author is Abel Mendez from the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo. It's available at the pre-print server arxiv.org. Arecibo Wow! is a new effort based on an archival study of data from the now-defunct Arecibo Radio Telescope from 2017 to 2020. The observations from Arecibo are similar to those from Big Ear but "are more sensitive, have better temporal resolution, and include polarization measurements," according to the authors. "Our latest observations, made between February and May 2020, have revealed similar narrowband signals near the hydrogen line, though less intense than the original Wow! Signal," said Mendez. Arecibo detected signals similar to the Wow! signal but with some differences. They're far less intense and come from multiple locations. The authors say these signals are easily explained by an astrophysical phenomenon and that the original Wow! signal is, too. "We hypothesize that the Wow! Signal was caused by sudden brightening from stimulated emission of the hydrogen line due to a strong transient radiation source, such as a magnetar flare or a soft gamma repeater (SGR)," the researchers write. Those events are rare and rely on precise conditions and alignments. They can cause clouds of hydrogen to brighten considerably for seconds or even minutes. The researchers say that what Big Ear saw in 1977 was the transient brightening of one of several H1 (neutral hydrogen) clouds in the telescope's line of sight. The 1977 signal was similar to what Arecibo saw in many respects. "The only difference between the signals observed in Arecibo and the Wow! Signal is their brightness. It is precisely the similarity between these spectra that suggests a mechanism for the origin of the mysterious signal," the authors write. These signals are rare because the spatial alignment between source, cloud, and observer is rare. The rarity of alignment explains why detections are so rare. The researchers were able to identify the clouds responsible for the signal but not the source. Their results suggest that the source is much more distant than the clouds that produce the hydrogen signal. "Given the detectability of the clouds as demonstrated in our data, this insight could enable precise location of the signal's origin and permit continuous monitoring for subsequent events," the researchers explain. apply tags__________ 174815430 story [75]Education [76]Fluoride At Twice the Recommended Limit Is Linked To Lower IQ In Kids [77](apnews.com) [78]122 Posted by [79]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @11:30PM from the would-you-look-at-that dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: A U.S. government [80]report expected to stir debate concluded that fluoride in drinking water at twice the recommended limit is [81]linked with lower IQ in children. The report, based on an analysis of previously published research, marks the first time a federal agency has determined -- "with moderate confidence" -- that there is a link between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in kids. While the report was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoride in drinking water alone, it is a striking acknowledgment of a potential neurological risk from high levels of fluoride. Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S. [82]Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been considered one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. The long-awaited report released Wednesday comes from the National Toxicology Program, part of the Department of Health and Human Services. It summarizes a review of studies, conducted in Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico, that concludes that drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter is consistently associated with lower IQs in kids. The report did not try to quantify exactly how many IQ points might be lost at different levels of fluoride exposure. But some of the studies reviewed in the report suggested IQ was 2 to 5 points lower in children who'd had higher exposures. Since 2015, federal health officials have recommended a fluoridation level of 0.7 milligrams per liter of water, and for five decades before the recommended upper range was 1.2. The World Health Organization has set a safe limit for fluoride in drinking water of 1.5. The report said that about 0.6% of the U.S. population -- about 1.9 million people -- are on water systems with naturally occurring fluoride levels of 1.5 milligrams or higher. The 324-page report did not reach a conclusion about the risks of lower levels of fluoride, saying more study is needed. It also did not answer what high levels of fluoride might do to adults. apply tags__________ 174815466 story [83]The Almighty Buck [84]Telecom Behind AI Biden Robocall Settles With FCC For $1 Million [85](cyberscoop.com) [86]15 Posted by [87]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @09:10PM from the costly-phone-calls dept. New submitter [88]ElimGarak000 shares a report from CyberScoop: The Texas-based voice service provider that [89]sent AI-generated robocalls of President Joe Biden to New Hampshire voters ahead of its Democratic presidential primary has [90]agreed to pay a $1 million fine and implement enhanced verification protocols designed to prevent robocalls and phone number spoofing in a settlement with the Federal Communications Commission. The fine represents half the amount the FCC was originally seeking in an enforcement action proposed against Lingo Telecom in May. Despite that, agency leaders characterized the [91]settlement (PDF) as a successful effort to defend U.S. telecommunications networks and election infrastructure from nascent AI and deepfake technologies. [...] In addition to the fine, the settlement requires Lingo Telecom to follow regulatory protocols that were put in place in 2020 to ensure telecommunications carriers authenticate caller identities using their networks. The protocols, known as STIR/SHAKEN, require carriers like Lingo to digitally verify and formally attest to the FCC that callers are legitimate and own the phone number they display on Caller ID. In the New Hampshire robocall case, Kramer and Life Corporation spoofed the phone number of Kathy Sullivan, a former state Democratic party official who was running a write-in campaign for Biden. The FCC [92]cited Lingo's inability to properly implement and enforce STIR/SHAKEN as a key failure in a February cease-and-desist letter, and [93]again in May when the agency proposed a $2 million enforcement action. The company was also named in a civil lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters and New Hampshire residents, seeking damages over the incident. Per terms of the settlement, Lingo Telecom must hire a senior manager knowledgeable in STIR/SHAKEN protocols and develop a compliance plan, new operating procedures and training programs. They must also report any incidents of non-compliance with STIR/SHAKEN within 15 days of discovery. "Every one of us deserves to know that the voice on the line is exactly who they claim to be," FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement. "If AI is being used, that should be made clear to any consumer, citizen, and voter who encounters it. The FCC will act when trust in our communications networks is on the line." apply tags__________ 174815298 story [94]Bitcoin [95]Trump Promotes Family's New Crypto Platform, 'The DeFiant Ones' [96](cnbc.com) [97]118 Posted by [98]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @08:30PM from the stay-tuned dept. Former President Donald Trump is about to [99]launch a crypto platform called "The DeFiant Ones," according to [100]a post of his on Truth Social. "For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites," Trump wrote. "It's time we take a stand -- together." From a report: The post marks the first time the Republican nominee for president has used his personal platform to promote the as yet unactivated digital bank. Within minutes, his son Donald Trump Jr., shared the post with his 12 million X followers. Trump's post includes a link to a Telegram channel called "The DeFiant Ones," which had approximately 29,000 followers as of Thursday morning, and climbing. An Aug. 15 post describes the group chat as "the only official Telegram channel for the Trump DeFi project" which is building "the future of finance." Two of Trump's sons, Eric Trump and and Donald Jr., have spent weeks teasing the forthcoming platform, which Eric recently described as "digital real estate." "It's equitable. It's collateral anyone can get access to and do so instantly," Eric told the New York Post earlier this month. "I don't know if people realize what a shake up that is for the world of banking and finance. I hope we can help change that." The Trump brothers have also promoted the project with posts declaring that "decentralized finance is the future" and asking people to "stay tuned for a big announcement." The mention of digital real estate could be a reference to selling digitized versions of assets in the metaverse, a concept which peaked in popularity in 2021 during the last bull market cycle in crypto. Digitized real estate could also mean that the project would tokenize real-world assets. [...] Trump's eldest son [101]recently said that the family wasn't launching a memecoin and instead, was working to develop a crypto platform that would rival the traditional banking system. "What we want to do is take on a lot of the banking world," he said Aug. 8. "I think there has been a lot of inequality in that only certain people can get financing [...] so this notion of decentralized finance is obviously very appealing to guys like me who have been debanked," Donald Trump Jr. said in the interview on Locals. apply tags__________ 174814858 story [102]Google [103]Google is Shoving Its Apps Onto New Windows Laptops [104](theverge.com) [105]23 Posted by msmash on Thursday August 22, 2024 @07:51PM from the white-collar-bloatware dept. Google is making a new desktop app called Essentials that packages a few Google services, like Messages and Photos, and includes links to download many others.

Wind and solar energy producers in Brazil have warned they are reconsidering future investments there after the national grid operator [111]repeatedly capped how much energy they could deliver in the past year, which squeezed their profits. From a report: Brazil has made big strides encouraging companies to invest in wind, solar and other renewable power generation sources, offering generous financing and subsidies. But all the electricity they generate has taxed the grid. More than a dozen executives and industry representatives said renewable energy investments were less viable under the National Electric System Operator's (ONS) current "curtailments" policy, which temporarily caps how much power ONS accepts from wind and solar plants. The pressure has been most acute in northeast Brazil, a hot spot for renewable energy investment. There are bottlenecks in transmission lines carrying electricity to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere in the more populous southeast region. ONS has managed the grid more cautiously since August 2023, when a power outage in the northeast spread over most of the country. That has meant more curtailments when electricity generation exceeds consumption or there is a lack of transmission capacity. ONS has said curtailments were not excessive, and were necessary for safety. The operator said its data shows only 3% of electricity generated was lost to curtailments last month.Volt Robotics, a power sector consultancy, analyzed ONS numbers. apply tags__________ 174814700 story [112]Classic Games (Games) [113]Hydrogels Can Learn To Play Pong [114](arstechnica.com) [115]11 Posted by [116]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @06:30PM from the because-why-not dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: [117]Pong will always hold a special place in the history of gaming as one of the earliest arcade video games. Introduced in 1972, it was a [118]table tennis game featuring very simple graphics and gameplay. In fact, it's simple enough that even non-living materials known as hydrogels [119]can "learn" to play the game by "remembering" previous patterns of electrical stimulation, according to a new paper [120]published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science. "Our research shows that even very simple materials can exhibit complex, adaptive behaviors typically associated with living systems or sophisticated AI," said co-author Yoshikatsu Hayashi, a biomedical engineer at the University of Reading in the UK. "This opens up exciting possibilities for developing new types of 'smart' materials that can learn and adapt to their environment." [...] The experimental setup was fairly simple. The researchers hooked up electroactive hydrogels to a simulated virtual environment of a Pong game using a custom-built electrode array. The games would start with the ball traveling in a random direction. The hydrogels tracked the ball's position via electrical stimulation and tracked the paddle's position by measuring the distribution of ions in the hydrogels. As the games progressed, the researchers measured how often the hydrogel managed to hit the ball with the paddle. They found that, over time, the hydrogels' accuracy improved, hitting the ball more frequently for longer rallies. They reached their maximum potential for accuracy in about 20 minutes, compared to 10 minutes for the [121]DishBrain. The authors attribute this to the ion movement essentially mapping out a "memory" of all motion over time, exhibiting what appears to be emergent memory functions within the material itself. Perhaps the next step will be to "teach" the hydrogels how to align the paddles in such a way that the rallies go on indefinitely. apply tags__________ 174814636 story [122]Social Networks [123]Instagram Is Adding a Myspace-Like 'Song On Profile' Feature [124](theverge.com) [125]10 Posted by [126]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @05:50PM from the nostalgic-features dept. Instagram is [127]adding a new feature today that will "[128]allow users to add a song on their profile -- much like Myspace in the early 2000s," writes The Verge's Mia Sato. From the report: The music added to a user's profile shows up in the bio area, according to screenshots shared by Instagram. A song will be featured on a profile until the user removes or replaces it. But unlike Myspace, songs won't autoplay -- people viewing a profile with a song can play and pause the track. Users can add a song by going to the "edit profile" page, where they'll be able to search for and select a track from Instagram's library of licensed music that's also available for things like Reels or posts. From there, users will be able to select a 30-second-long portion of the song to add. apply tags__________ 174814600 story [129]Android [130]Google Play Will No Longer Pay To Discover Vulnerabilities In Popular Android Apps [131](androidauthority.com) [132]17 Posted by [133]BeauHD on Thursday August 22, 2024 @05:10PM from the another-one-bites-the-dust dept. Android Authority's Mishaal Rahman reports: Security vulnerabilities are lurking in most of the apps you use on a day-to-day basis; there's just no way for most companies to preemptively fix every possible security issue because of human error, deadlines, lack of resources, and a multitude of other factors. That's why many organizations run bug bounty programs to get external help with fixing these issues. The Google Play Security Reward Program (GPSRP) is an example of a bug bounty program that paid security researchers to find vulnerabilities in popular Android apps, but it's [134]being shut down later this month. Google announced the Google Play Security Reward Program [135]back in October 2017 as a way to incentivize security searchers to find and, most importantly, responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in popular Android apps distributed through the Google Play Store. [...] The purpose of the Google Play Security Reward Program was simple: Google wanted to make the Play Store a more secure destination for Android apps. According to the company, vulnerability data they collected from the program was used to help create automated checks that scanned all apps available in Google Play for similar vulnerabilities. In 2019, Google said these automated checks helped more than 300,000 developers fix more than 1,000,000 apps on Google Play. Thus, the downstream effect of the GPSRP is that fewer vulnerable apps are distributed to Android users. However, Google has now decided to wind down the Google Play Security Reward Program. In an email to participating developers, such as [136]Sean Pesce, the company announced that the GPSRP will end on August 31st. The reason Google gave is that the program has seen a decrease in the number of actionable vulnerabilities reported. The company credits this success to the "overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts." apply tags__________ [137]« Newer [138]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [139]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll What sort of typist are you?
