Sonntag 16:34 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
Slashdot reader BrianFagioli writes: Acer has filed three separate patent infringement lawsuits against AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, taking the unusual step of hauling the nation’s largest wireless carriers into federal court. The suits, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, claim the companies are using Acer-developed cellular networking technology without paying for the privilege. Acer says it tried to negotiate licenses for years but reached a dead end, arguing it was left with no option except litigation. The case centers on six U.S. patents Acer asserts are core to modern wireless netwo … - China Builds 'Hypergravity' Machine 2,000X Stronger Than Earth
Sonntag 15:34 – EditorDavid at Slashdot
Long-time Slashdot reader schwit1 shared this report from Futurism: China has unveiled an extremely powerful „hypergravity machine“ that can generate forces almost two thousand times stronger than Earth’s regular gravity. The futuristic-looking machine, called CHIEF1900, was constructed at China’s Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) at Zheijang University in Eastern China, and allows researchers to study how extreme forces affect various materials, plants, cells, or other structures, as the South China Morning Post reports… [Once up and running, it will … - Return to Office Mandates Are Failing — Try This Smarter Alternative

And most of those failures occurred in 2025: The study looked at token listings on GeckoTerminal between mid-2021 and the end of 2025. Of the nearly 20.2 million tokens that entered the market during that period, 53.2% are no longer actively traded. A staggering 11.6 million of those failures happened in 2025 alone — accounting for 86.3% of all token deaths over the past five years.

Freitag 20:00 – Guru Hegde at DZone.com Feed
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as a powerful technique for building AI systems that can access and reason over external knowledge bases. RAG enabled us to build accurate and up-to-date systems by combining the content-generative capabilities of LLMs with user-context-specific, precise information retrieval. However, deploying RAG systems at scale in production reveals a different reality that most blog posts and conference talks gloss over. While the core RAG concept is straightforward, the engineering challenges required to make it work reliably, efficiently, and cost-effect … - Why Your Website Traffic Isn't Turning Into Revenue — and How to Change That
