Freitag 5:30 – msmash at Slashdot
Alexander Mashinsky, the former CEO of Celsius Network, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to two counts of fraud, a dramatic fall for the leader of a company once hailed as the „bank“ of the crypto industry. From a report: Standing before U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl in Manhattan’s Southern District, Mashinsky faced the consequences of what prosecutors described as a sweeping scheme to defraud investors. In December he pleaded guilty to commodities fraud and a scheme to manipulate the Celsius token. His sentencing took place in courtroom 14A at 500 Pea … - NOAA Retires Extreme Weather Database
Freitag 3:30 – BeauHD at Slashdot
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday its well-known „billion-dollar weather and climate disasters“ database „will be retired,“ a move that will make it next to impossible for the public to track the cost of extreme weather and climate events. The weather, climate and oceans agency is also ending other products, it has recently announced, due in large part to staffing reductions. NOAA is narrowing the array of services it provides, with climate-related programs scrutinized especially closely.

Alibaba Group researchers have developed „ZeroSearch,“ a technique that enables large language models to acquire search capabilities without using external search engines during training. The approach transforms LLMs into retrieval modules through supervised fine-tuning and employs a „curriculum-based rollout strategy“ that gradually degrades generated document quality. In tests across seven question-answering datasets, ZeroSearch matched or exceeded the performance [PDF] of models trained with real search engines. A 7B-parameter retrieval module achieved results comparable to Google Search, w … - Trump To End Biden-Era High-Speed Internet Program

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has „made progress“ on a chip for a product that could rival the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The company is also reportedly working on glasses that use augmented reality. The Verge reports: The chip is apparently based on the chips Apple uses for the Apple Watch, though the company has removed parts and is being designed in such a way that it can handle the „multiple cameras“ that the smart glasses might have, Bloomberg reports. Apple wants mass production of the chip to start by the end of 2026 or sometime in 2027, so the glasses themselves could co … - Cloudflare CEO: AI Is Killing the Business Model of the Web
