Indeed and LinkedIn are incorporating more generative AI to improve the recruiting and job-hunting processes. Some recruiters are still unconvinced.

Pedro Sánchez suspended public duties last week to "reflect" on whether he would remain in the job.

Tandis que divers signaux, notamment des mouvements de troupes, laissent supposer qu’une opération dans le sud de la bande de Gaza est en préparation, la perspective d’un échange de prisonniers avec le Hamas resurgit, dans le cadre d’une médiation égyptienne.

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos by Getty Images The Financial Times has struck a deal with OpenAI to license its content and develop AI tools, the latest news organization to work with the AI company. The FT writes in a press release that ChatGPT users will see summaries, quotes, and links to its articles. Any prompt that returns information from the FT will be attributed to the publication. In return, OpenAI will work with the news organization to develop new AI products. The FT already uses OpenAI products, saying it is a customer of ChatGPT Enterprise. Last month, the FT released a generative AI search function on beta powered by Anthropic’s Claude large language model. Ask FT lets...

Like most waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves tend to bounce off of various objects. This can be frustrating to anyone trying to use something like a GMRS or LoRa radio in a dense city, for example, but these reflections can also be exploited for productive use as well, most famously by radar. Radar has plenty of applications such as weather forecasting and various military uses. With some software-defined radio tools, it’s also possible to use radar for tracking aircraft in real-time at home like this DIY radar system.
Unlike active radar systems which use a specific radio source to look for reflections, this system is a passive radar system that uses radio waves already present in the...

OpenAI, le géant de l'intelligence artificielle, est de nouveau sous les feux de la rampe en Europe, confronté à une plainte pour atteinte à la vie privée déposée par noyb, une organisation à but non lucratif dédiée aux droits de confidentialité. Elle cible spécifiquement les erreurs de données générées par ChatGPT, le chatbot IA de la société.Elle a été déposée auprès de l'autorité autrichienne de protection des données par noyb au nom d'un plaignant qui a préféré rester anonyme après que ChatGPT ait incorrectement généré sa date de naissance.

Si vous utilisez VMware Fusion, vous avez peut-être déjà vu la notification « Éléments en arrière-plan ajoutés », qui apparaît à chaque lancement. Il existe une méthode pour la faire disparaître, même si c’est un pis-aller. Le message apparaît parce que VMware Fusion copie des fichiers au lancement dans un dossier précis, et qu’il les supprime quand vous quittez le programme. L’idée est donc de les mettre à un autre endroit, avec deux problèmes évidents. Le premier, c’est qu’Apple peut décider que le second emplacement n’est plus valable. Le second, c’est que si une mise à jour de VMware Fusion modifie les fichiers en question, il faut recommencer la manipulation. La...

China’s state-sponsored disinformation campaign has been running at a massive scale for seven years—but no one is looking at it.

Dans un climat où les droits des femmes en Italie sont déjà contestés, les députés italiens ont adopté ce mardi 16 avril un amendement s'apparentant à un véritable recul des droits des femmes. Sous couvert de promouvoir la natalité, la mesure autorise les associations anti-IVG à s'introduire dans les centres de conseils afin de dissuader ces dernières. Cette décision, portée par Lorenzo Malagola, député de Fratelli d'Italia, est une victoire pour les associations anti-avortement telles que Pro Vita & Familia et Movimiento Milita Christi. L'IVG, un droit en danger sur le territoire italien
En Italie, l'IVG a été dépénalisé en 1978 lors de l'adoption de la loi 194 sous la pression des...

There are many claims in the air about the capabilities of AI systems, as the technology continues to ascend the dizzy heights of the hype cycle. Some of them are true, others stretch definitions a little, while yet more cross the line into the definitely bogus. [J] has one that is backed up by real code though, a compression scheme for text using an AI, and while there may be limitations in its approach, it demonstrates an interesting feature of large language models.
The compression works by assuming that for a sufficiently large model, it’s likely that many source texts will exist somewhere in the training. Using llama.cpp it’s possible to extract the tokenization information of a piece of text...

Clean up operations are under way in states including Oklahoma and Iowa following the severe storms.

Kiev a reconnu dimanche que la situation sur le front s’était “détériorée”, les troupes russes ayant remporté des “succès tactiques” dans plusieurs zones. Pour la presse internationale, Moscou tente de profiter au maximum de sa supériorité militaire avant que l’Ukraine ne reçoive les nouvelles armes américaines.

Les deux émirats investissent dans le continent africain en quête de débouchés économiques et d’influence politique. “The Economist” a enquêté sur un double déploiement qui mêle économie, diplomatie et médiations diverses.

Pour lutter contre ce qui est désormais considéré comme une épidémie de blessures par armes à feu, les médecins conseillent de plus en plus fréquemment les patients sur leur usage des armes, rapporte “The Atlantic”.

There’s always an appeal to a cool-looking computer case or cyberdeck – and with authentic-looking Vault-Tec style, [Eric B] and [kc9psw]’s fallout-themed cyberdeck is no exception.
The case looks like it came straight out of one of the Fallout games and acts the part: while (obviously) not capable of withstanding a direct nuclear bomb impact, it can protect the sensitive electronics inside from the electromagnetic pulse and shockwave that follows – if you keep it closed.
And it’s not just the case that’s cool: This cyberdeck is packed full of goodies like long-range radios, SDRs, ADSB receivers, a Teensy 4.1, and dual Raspberry Pis. But that’s just the hardware! It also comes with gigabytes upon...

Well, it’s official — AI is ruining everything. That’s not exactly news, but learning that LLMs are apparently being used to write scientific papers is a bit alarming, and Andrew Gray, a librarian at University College London, has the receipts. He looked at a cross-section of scholarly papers from 2023 in search of certain words known to show up more often in LLM-generated text, like “commendable”, “intricate”, or “meticulous”. Most of the words seem to have a generally positive tone and feel a little fancier than everyday speech; one rarely uses “lucidly” or “noteworthy” unless you’re trying to sound smart, after all. He found increases in the frequency of appearance of these and...

That’s too cold! | Image: Amazon I don’t know about you, but when I have a nasty case of the hot phone, I have to get rid of that heat this instant. Just kidding, I usually just put it down for a while or restart it when it’s being especially stubborn. But there are companies out there marketing a different solution: little stick-on phone-cooling fans that purport to draw all that heat away. And their product images are a little, uh, excessively icy.
How did it come to this? What kicked off this arms race of increasingly frosty phones? I have to assume things started innocently enough, but these RGB-riddled things are pretty squarely aimed at gamers — I’d guess it didn’t take long for these product...

What do you do when you find an ancient piece of test gear and want to have fun? Well, you can always try getting BASIC running on it, and that’s precisely what [David Kuder] did.
The HP4952A Protocol Analyzer actually looks a lot like an old computer, even if it was never meant for general-purpose use. The heart of the machine is a Zilog Z80 CPU, though, so it shares a lot in common with microcomputers of its era.
Among other hacks, [David] worked to get Microsoft Basic-80 running on the machine. Initially, he was only able to get it up and running on the display, with no way to read the keyboard, disk, or access the serial port. Eventually, by diving into the nitty-gritty of the machine, he was able to at...

Image: Disney AnimationJust before the weekend started, the animation space lit up when someone suddenly leaked a lot of never-before-seen internal material from Disney. We won’t link to it, but included in that material is a sizable amount of stuff from the company’s TV animation slate across its Disney Channel and Disney XD networks that goes as far back as the mid-2000s. Gravity Falls, Owl House, you name it: if it’s got a sizable fanbase (and isn’t a Marvel cartoon), then it’s probably featured here in some fashion.Included in the leak were over 20 pilots, some of which were shows that’d been pitched, but ultimately never went anywhere. Similarly, there were also 40 show bibles—documents...

Image: Marvel Studios I’ve been making more of an effort to keep up with movies lately and even managed the rare feat of seeing one in an actual movie theater. I saw Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which stars Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Elza González, Babs Olusanmokun, and others in what I interpreted as a goofy spaghetti western / spy / heist film. I suppose it’s also a war movie, being based (very loosely) on a true story about a collection of unstoppable guys set on an unsanctioned secret mission to destroy a German U-boat resupply ship during World War II. It doesn’t try to ruminate on the weight of the mission, which was to clear the way for American ships to...

Now that it’s got an entire universe of its own full of equally colorful characters headling their own books, it’s just a question of what’s next for the series that started it all. The answer to that is to bring in new fans by taking it to a new format.During the C2E2 panel for the Massive-Verse, Higgins revealed the series’ first six issues are getting brought over to audiobook format. He’ll be writing and directing the first volume in what’s expected to be a series of adaptations from Image and Higgins’ Black Market Collective imprint. And here’s...

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge It was Valentine’s Day when Meta’s ad platform started going off the rails. RC Williams, the co-founder of the Philadelphia-based marketing agency 1-800-D2C, had set one of Meta’s automated ad tools to run campaigns for two separate clients. But when he checked the platform that day, he found that Meta had blown through roughly 75 percent of the daily ad budgets for both clients in under a couple of hours.
Williams told The Verge that the ads’ CPMs, or cost per impressions, were roughly 10 times higher than normal. A usual CPM of under $28 had inflated to roughly $250, way above the industry average. That would have been bad enough if the revenue earned from those ads...

Delta is about to get better on the iPad. | Image: Riley Testut The Delta emulator made a huge splash when it hit the Apple App Store earlier this month, quickly rocketing to the top spot in Apple’s free apps, where it remains today. Now, developer Riley Testut says an iPad-specific version is “near completion,” and will be released with Delta version 1.6. Testut says the app is already available for his Patreon supporters through “the regular AltStore,” which I take to mean the non-EU-specific one, rather than the Apple-approved AltStore PAL.
Of course, the iOS version already works on the iPad (and the Vision Pro, where I’ve been playing Metroid Prime Hunters). But a native version would let it...

Image: Universal PicturesThe original Happy Death Day in 2017 was one of those “why hasn’t this done before?” horror movies, wherein college girl Tree (played by Jessica Rothe) got stuck in a time loop that always ended with her getting murdered. That first movie did really well, and its sequel Happy Death Day 2U also did pretty good! Over the past few years, it hasn’t been clear if a sequel would ever happen, but good news: it’s apparently still in the cards.While doing promo for her newest film Boy Kills World, Rothe revealed to ScreenGeek that director Christopher Landon “has the whole thing figured out. We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.” As far as...

Recently, I wrote about Bonnie, the border collie that we took into our home at the beginning of February.
Although that post made some reference to the circumstances that she came to us from, I didn't really talk very much about her ex-owners. Bonnie should be the focus, not them.
This post, however, is a bit different.
Over the last week, I've had some interactions with Bonnie's previous owner which has left me feeling quite annoyed and frustrated.
I find that writing can be quite cathartic as it helps me to put my thoughts in order. So, I figured writing a post would help me work through and process my feelings around this week's events.
In this post I'll walk through the discussion, the request and my...
