An anonymous reader [39]shares a column: I can't open LinkedIn without seeing a new post from a Microsoft employee who lost their job in the company's latest round of layoffs. Around 15,000 jobs have been eliminated at Microsoft over the past couple months -- the biggest cuts at the company in more than a decade. I've spoken to more than a dozen Microsoft employees in recent weeks, and everyone is concerned about the company's direction in this AI era. Morale is at an all-time low, and employees are worried that regular layoffs are simply the new normal. Sources tell me that Microsoft's leadership team had the choice between reducing investment in AI infrastructure for the upcoming financial year or deeply cutting its headcount and operating expenses. It's very clear what route Microsoft chose. apply tags__________ 178410190 story [40]AI [41]Delta Wants AI To Decide What You Personally Pay For Every Plane Ticket [42](fortune.com) [43]27 Posted by msmash on Friday July 18, 2025 @11:22AM from the up-next dept. Delta Air Lines plans for [44]20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI by the end of this year, up from the current 3% of fares that are AI-determined. President Glen Hauenstein told investors last week the airline's long-term strategy aims to eliminate static pricing altogether in favor of personalized fares calculated by AI algorithms. The AI pricing pilot program, which has tripled in scope over nine months, has produced "amazingly favorable unit revenues," according to the airline. You're not alone if you think the move is problematic. Consumer Watchdog analyst Justin Kloczko told Fortune that the airline is "basically hacking our brains," and Senator Ruben Gallego called Delta's practice "predatory pricing." apply tags__________ 178410048 story [45]Education [46]Computer Science Major Needs a Rebrand, Android Head Says [47](businessinsider.com) [48]50 Posted by msmash on Friday July 18, 2025 @10:40AM from the how-about-that dept. The computer science major needs a rebrand, Google's head of Android Sameer Samat said, arguing that the [49]discipline is widely misunderstood as simply learning to code. "It is thought of as, 'go learn how to do Java coding,'" Samat said of the major, adding that if that's what students want to do, "you don't need a degree." Samat, who studied computer science at UC San Diego, views the field differently: "It's definitely not learning to code. It is the science, in my opinion, of solving problems." The major should focus on breaking down problems, learning system design, and collaboration rather than just coding skills, Samat said. apply tags__________ 178407934 story [50]Earth [51]India Hits 50% Non-Fossil Power Milestone Five Years Ahead of Paris Agreement's 2030 Target [52](reuters.com) [53]12 Posted by msmash on Friday July 18, 2025 @10:00AM from the encouraging-feedback dept. India has achieved 50% of its installed electricity capacity [54]from non-fossil fuel sources -- five years ahead of its 2030 target under the Paris Agreement, signalling accelerating momentum in the country's clean energy transition. From a report: The announcement comes as India's renewable power output rose at its fastest pace since 2022 in the first half of 2025, while coal-fired generation declined nearly 3%. Fossil fuels still accounted for over two-thirds of the increase in power generation last year. India plans to expand coal-fired capacity by 80 GW by 2032 to meet rising demand. apply tags__________ 178406560 story [55]AI [56]Google Hides Secret Message In Name List of 3,295 AI Researchers [57]19 Posted by [58]BeauHD on Friday July 18, 2025 @09:00AM from the group-effort dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: How many Google AI researchers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A recent research paper [59]detailing the technical core behind Google's Gemini AI assistant may suggest an answer, [60]listing an eye-popping 3,295 authors. It's a number that recently caught the attention of machine learning researcher David Ha (known as "hardmaru" online), who revealed on X that the first 43 names also contain a hidden message. "There's a secret code if you observe the authors' first initials in the order of authorship," Ha wrote, relaying the Easter egg: "GEMINI MODELS CAN THINK AND GET BACK TO YOU IN A FLASH." The paper, titled "Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities," [61]describes Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash AI models, which were released in March. These large language models, which power Google's chatbot AI assistant, feature simulated reasoning capabilities that produce a string of "thinking out loud" text before generating responses in an attempt to help them solve more difficult problems. That explains "think" and "flash" in the hidden text. But clever Easter egg aside, the sheer scale of authorship tells its own story about modern AI development. Just seeing the massive list made us wonder: Is 3,295 authors unprecedented? Why so many? Ars' Benj Edwards notes that this collaborative effort within Google doesn't quite break the record for academic authorship. "According to [62]Guinness World Records, a 2021 paper by the COVIDSurg and GlobalSurg Collaboratives holds that distinction, with 15,025 authors from 116 countries. In physics, a 2015 paper from CERN's Large Hadron Collider teams [63]featured 5,154 authors across 33 pages -- with 24 pages devoted solely to listing names and institutions." apply tags__________ 178406540 story [64]Power [65]Ireland Tries Kites Instead of Windmills To Generate Electricity [66](www.rte.ie) [67]31 Posted by [68]BeauHD on Friday July 18, 2025 @06:00AM from the Benjamin-Franklin-would-be-proud dept. Longtime Slashdot reader [69]piojo writes: Tired of windmills? Kitepower has [70]deployed 60-square-meter kites to harvest wind energy on the western coast of Ireland. The giant kites fly in a figure-eight pattern, unspooling a tether to rotate a drum with 2.4 to 4 tons of force. When the tether has played out, the configuration of the kite is shifted to catch less wind and the tether is reeled back in.

"The Luxembourg-based satellite company SES has now [76]completed its acquisition of the European-based satellite company Intelsat, giving the combined company 120 active satellites in a variety of low and high Earth orbits," writes longtime Slashdot reader [77]schwit1. "Both companies are long established, with Intelsat initially founded in the mid-1960s as a consortium of 23 nations aimed at launching the first geosynchronous communications satellites over the Atlantic and Pacific serving most of the Old World and linked to the New. The merger is an attempt by both companies to compete with the new low-orbit constellations of SpaceX, Amazon, and from China." From a press release: With a world-class network including approximately 90 geostationary (GEO), nearly 30 medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, strategic access to low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and an extensive ground network, SES can now deliver connectivity solutions utilizing complementary spectrum bands including C-, Ku-, Ka-, Military Ka-, X-band, and Ultra High Frequency. The expanded capabilities of the combined company will enable it to deliver premium-quality services and tailored solutions to its customers. The company's assets and networks, once fully integrated, will put SES in a strong competitive position to better serve the evolving needs of its customers including governments, aviation, maritime, and media across the globe. "Our focus is clear: to grow, to lead in high-potential markets, and to shape the future of our industry," said SES CEO Adel Al-Saleh in a statement. "This is a long-term play, and we are building with the future in mind -- growing year after year, expanding our capabilities, and creating lasting value for our customers and shareholders alike." Fierce Network notes that the FCC is [78]preparing to auction upper C-band spectrum (3.98-4.2 GHz), previously cleared in part by SES and Intelsat and now eyed for 5G expansion by Verizon and AT&T. With new legislative backing and industry pressure, including from CTIA and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, the agency is being urged to act quickly to auction and open this spectrum for full-power wireless use. apply tags__________ 178407244 story [79]The Courts [80]Apple Sues YouTuber Jon Prosser Over iOS 26 Leaks [81](macrumors.com) [82]31 Posted by msmash on Friday July 18, 2025 @12:20AM from the breaking-news dept. Apple has [83]filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti for misappropriation of trade secrets related to iOS 26 leaks published earlier this year. The complaint alleges Prosser and Ramacciotti conspired to access a development iPhone belonging to Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, acquiring his passcode and using location-tracking to determine when he "would be gone for an extended period." Apple claims Ramacciotti accessed Lipnik's device and made a FaceTime call to Prosser showing iOS 26 features, which Prosser recorded and used to create rendered mockups for his January, March, and April videos. Lipnik's employment was terminated, and Apple seeks an injunction against further disclosure plus damages. apply tags__________ 178406140 story [84]Space [85]Birth of a Solar System Witnessed In Spectacular Scientific First [86](sciencealert.com) [87]18 Posted by [88]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @11:30PM from the hide-and-seek dept. [89]alternative_right shares a report from ScienceAlert: Around a Sun-like star just 1,300 light-years away, a family of planets has been seen in its earliest moments of conception. Astronomers analyzed the infrared flow of dust and detritus left over from the formation of a baby star called HOPS-315, [90]finding tiny concentrations of hot minerals that will eventually form planetesimals -- the 'seeds' around which new planets will grow. It's a system that can tell us about the very first steps of planet formation, and may even contain clues about how our own Solar System formed. The findings have been [91]published in the journal Nature. apply tags__________ 178406050 story [92]The Military [93]Ukrainian Hackers Claim To Have Destroyed Major Russian Drone Maker's Entire Network [94](theregister.com) [95]145 Posted by [96]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @08:45PM from the Operation:-Payload-Null dept. Ukrainian hacker group BO Team, with help from the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance and possibly Ukraine's military, [97]claims to have wiped out one of Russia's largest military drone manufacturers, destroying 47TB of production data and even disabling the doors in the facility. "Or, as described by the hacking collective (per Google translate), they 'deeply penetrated' the drone manufacturer 'to the very tonsils of demilitarization and denazification,'" reports The Register. From the report: BO Team (also known as Black Owl) [98]announced the breach on its Telegram channel, and claimed to have carried out the operation alongside fellow hackers the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance "and one very well-known organization, the mention of which makes Vanya's bottle receivers explode," according to a Google translation of the Russian text. While the "very well-known organization" isn't named, BO Team included a [99]link to Ukraine's Ministry of Defence. The military intelligence agency, working alongside the attackers, "carried out large-scale work to capture the entire network and server infrastructure of Gaskar Group, collect valuable information about the UAVs being produced and prospective, and then destroy the information and disable this infrastructure," the Telegram post continued. This reportedly included 47TB of technical information about the production of Russian drones, and BO Team claims to have destroyed all of the information on Gaskar's servers, including 10TB of backup files. "By the way, from the information we received, China is providing assistance in the production and training of specialists of Gaskar Group," the hackers added via Telegram. BO Team also posted what they claim to be confidential employee questionnaires [[100]PDF]. On their own Telegram channel, the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance said they also stole "all the source code" before destroying everything. "The network went down so thoroughly that the doors in the building were blocked," the pro-Ukraine crew wrote, per Google translate. "To open them, the administration had to turn on the fire alarm. Most likely, the defense order is on the verge of failure, and thousands of drones will not get to the front in the near future." apply tags__________ 178405934 story [101]The Internet [102]Dictionary.com 'Devastated' Paid Users By Abruptly Deleting Saved Word Lists [103](arstechnica.com) [104]46 Posted by [105]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @08:02PM from the words-with-frenemies dept. Dictionary.com [106]abruptly deleted all user accounts and saved word lists from its premium apps without notice or refunds, leaving long-time [107]logophiles "devastated." "The company deleted all accounts, as well as the only ways to use Dictionary.com without seeing ads -- even if you previously paid for an ad-free experience," reports Ars Technica. From the report: Dictionary.com offers a free dictionary through its website and free Android and iOS apps. It used to offer paid-for mobile apps, called Dictionary.com Pro, that let users set up accounts, use the app without ads, and enabled other features (like grammar tips and science and rhyming dictionaries) that are gone now. Dictionary.com's premium apps also let people download an offline dictionary (its free apps used to let you buy a downloadable dictionary as a one-time purchase), but offline the dictionaries aren't available anymore. About a year ago, claims of Dictionary.com's apps being buggy [108]surfaced online. We also found at least one person claiming that they were unable to buy an ad-free upgrade at that time. Reports of Dictionary.com accounts being deleted and the apps not working as expected, and with much of its content removed, [109]started appearing online [110]about two months ago. Users reported being unable to log in and access premium features, like saved words. Soon after, Dictionary.com's premium apps were removed from Google Play and Apple's App Store. The premium version was available for download for $6 as recently as March 23, per the Internet Archive's [111]Wayback Machine. apply tags__________ 178405886 story [112]Bitcoin [113]House Passes Historic Crypto Bill Regulating Stablecoins [114](cnbc.com) [115]38 Posted by [116]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @07:23PM from the historic-legislation dept. The House [117]passed a bipartisan bill regulating stablecoins which now heads to President Trump's desk as part of his push to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world." Two other crypto-related bills -- one defining digital asset market structure and another banning a U.S. central bank digital currency -- were also approved by the House but face uncertain futures in the Senate amid partisan tensions and concerns over Trump's personal financial ties to crypto ventures. CNBC reports: The stablecoin bill, passed on a 308-122 vote, sets initial guardrails and consumer protections for the cryptocurrency, which is tied to a stable asset, often the U.S. dollar, to reduce price volatility. It passed the Senate with bipartisan support in June. "Around the world, payment systems are undergoing a revolution," said House Financial Services Chair French Hill of Arkansas as lawmakers debated the stablecoin legislation Thursday morning. Hill said the bill will "ensure American competitiveness and strong guardrails for our consumers." After Trump declared it "crypto week," the bills were stalled for more than a day amid disagreements among House Republicans about how to combine the legislation. In the end, GOP leaders put the three bills for a separate votes, leaving the fate of the other two bills unclear in the Senate. The internal dissent could foreshadow challenges ahead for the more sweeping crypto legislation that Trump has demanded and the industry has poured millions into advancing. The stablecoin measure is seen by lawmakers and the industry as a step toward adding legitimacy and consumer trust to a rapidly growing sector. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in June that the legislation could help that currency "grow into a $3.7 trillion market by the end of the decade." The bill outlines requirements for stablecoin issuers, including compliance with U.S. anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, and mandates that issuers hold reserves backing the cryptocurrency. Without such a framework, Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee in a statement warned, "consumers face risks like unstable reserves or unclear operations from stablecoin issuers." After the votes, House Republicans strongly urged the Senate to take up the second bill, which would create a new market structure for cryptocurrency. apply tags__________ 178405014 story [118]Security [119]Google Spots Tailored Backdoor Malware Aimed At SonicWall Appliances [120](therecord.media) [121]2 Posted by [122]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @06:20PM from the PSA dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Record: Threat actors are stealing sensitive data from organizations by breaching end-of-life appliances made by cybersecurity company SonicWall. Incident responders from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) and Mandiant said on Wednesday that they have [123]uncovered an ongoing campaign by an unidentified threat group that leverages credentials and one-time password (OTP) seeds stolen during previous intrusions -- [124]allowing the hackers to regain access to organizations even after security updates are installed. [...] The campaign is targeting fully patched end-of-life SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 100 series appliances. Google explained that the malware the hackers are using removes log entries, making it difficult to figure out how they initially gained access to a system. Google said the campaign extends beyond the incidents they investigated directly and added that SonicWall has "confirmed reports of other impacted organizations." The company noted that SonicWall updated an advisory for a bug tracked as [125]CVE-2024-38475 in light of Google's findings. "As an added security measure, we strongly advise customers to reset the OTP (One-Time Password) binding for all users. This step ensures that any potentially compromised or stale OTP secrets are invalidated, thereby mitigating unauthorized access risks," SonicWall said in the update to the advisory.. One novel aspect of the campaign is the use of a backdoor called OVERSTEP, which modifies the SonicWall appliance's boot process to maintain persistent access, steal sensitive credentials and conceal the malware's own components. Incident responders struggled to track other activities by the hackers because OVERSTEP allowed them to delete logs and largely cover their tracks. OVERSTEP is specifically designed for SonicWall SMA 100 series appliances, according to Google. In addition to CVE-2024-38475, Google and Mandiant experts floated several potential vulnerabilities the hackers may have used to gain initial access, including CVE-2021-20038, CVE-2024-38475, CVE-2021-20035, CVE-2021-20039 and, CVE-2025-32819. Beyond those, Google theorized that the hackers may have used an unknown zero-day vulnerability to deploy the malware on targeted SonicWall SMA appliances. apply tags__________ 178404954 story [126]Crime [127]New Russian Law Criminalizes Online Searches For Controversial Content [128](washingtonpost.com) [129]73 Posted by [130]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @05:40PM from the VPN?-Very-Punishable-Now dept. Russian lawmakers passed sweeping new legislation [131]allowing authorities to fine individuals simply for searching and accessing content labeled "extremist" via VPNs. The Washington Post reports: Russia defines "extremist materials" as content officially added by a court to a government-maintained registry, a running list of about 5,500 entries, or content produced by "extremist organizations" ranging from "the LGBT movement" to al-Qaeda. The new law also covers materials that promote alleged Nazi ideology or incite extremist actions. Until now, Russian law stopped short of punishing individuals for seeking information online; only creating or sharing such content is prohibited. The new amendments follow remarks by high-ranking officials that censorship is justified in wartime. Adoption of the measures would mark a significant tightening of Russia's already restrictive digital laws. The fine for searching for banned content in Russia would be about a $65, while the penalty for advertising circumvention tools such as VPN services would be steeper -- $2,500 for individuals and up to $12,800 for companies. Previously, the most significant expansion of Russia's restrictions on internet use and freedom of speech occurred shortly after the February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, when sweeping laws criminalized the spread of "fake news" and "discrediting" the Russian military. The new amendment was introduced Tuesday and attached to a mundane bill on regulating freight companies, [132]according to documents published by Russia's lower house of parliament, the State Duma. apply tags__________ 178404826 story [133]The Internet [134]News Publishers Take Paywall-Blocker 12ft.io Offline [135](theverge.com) [136]73 Posted by [137]BeauHD on Thursday July 17, 2025 @05:00PM from the cease-and-desist dept. The Verge's Emma Roth reports: The News/Media Alliance, a trade association behind major news publishers, [138]announced that it has "[139]successfully secured" the removal of 12ft.io, a website that helped users bypass paywalls online. The trade association says 12ft.io's webhost took down the site on July 14th "following the News/Media Alliance's efforts." 12ft.io -- or 12 Foot Ladder -- also allowed users to view webpages without ads, trackers, or pop-ups by disguising a user's browser as a web crawler, giving them unfettered access to a webpage's contents. Software engineer Thomas Millar says he created the site when he realized "8 of the top 10 links on Google were paywalled" when doing research during the pandemic. [...] In its announcement, News/Media Alliance says 12ft.io "offered illegal circumvention technology" that allowed users to access copyrighted content without paying for it. The organization adds that it will take "similar actions" against other sites that let users get around paywalls. The News Media Alliance recently called Google's AI Mode "theft." (Like many chatbots, Google's AI Mode eliminates the need to visit a website, starving publishers of the pageviews they need to be compensated for their work.) "Publishers commit significant resources to creating the best and most informative content for consumers, and illegal tools like 12ft.io undermine their ability to financially support that work through subscriptions and ad revenue," News/Media Alliance president and CEO Danielle Coffey said in the [140]press release. "Taking down paywall bypassers is an essential part of ensuring we have a healthy and sustainable information ecosystem." apply tags__________ [141]« Newer [142]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [143]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll When will AGI be achieved?
