Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Although GPT-4 is currently at the apex of the increasingly convoluted world of generative artificial intelligence, its competitors, including Anthropic's Claude and Meta's open-source Llama, keep getting better, necessitating another iteration of OpenAI's flagship Large Language Model (LLM). While many expect Sam Altman's non-profit to release GPT-5 in 2024, some analysts are now asserting that those expectations remain far-fetched, especially given the scale of resources required. GPT-5 Would Need Around ~100x the Computational Resources of GPT-4, or 3 Months of ~1 Million H100s GPT-5 doesn't seem likely to be released this year.Ever since GPT-1, the difference between GPT-n and GPT-n+0.5 […]
Two and a half years after it signed the first phase of the Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes RAMP-C program with the Pentagon, Intel has deepened its partnership with the defense department. Intel, the Pentagon and the national security accelerator program funded by the CHIPS Act have now agreed to work together to produce early test samples of advanced chip manufacturing processes that can only be manufactured in Europe or Asia. As part of a press release, the chip manufacturer shared earlier today that with RAMP-C, the U.S. government will be able to access leading edge chip manufacturing technologies for the […]
With more than two years having passed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a special military court in Moscow sentenced Facebook parent Meta's spokesperson Andy Stone to six years in jail earlier today according to a report in the local media. Facebook and Instagram were blocked in Russia after the invasion started, and Moscow has accused the platform of spreading terrorism in Russia after Stone had outlined in 2022 that Meta would temporarily allow posts calling for violence against the European nation. Meta CEO, the billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, is already barred from entering Russia, and the sentence was awarded to […]
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) shares continue to struggle after enduring a veritable pounding on Friday, one that was initially deemed an affinity move alongside NVIDIA's 10 percent correction. However, a rumor is now painting a much more troubling regulatory picture for the manufacturer of high-performance servers.

Bitcoin's periodic halvings are its most anticipated yet disruptive events, heralding disinflation, miner upheaval, a plunge in the network's hash rate, and expectations of rip-roaring gains in the months ahead. Bitcoin's Fourth Halving Event Bitcoin undergoes a halving roughly every four years when the reward for mining a block is cut in half. This time around, the halving was scheduled to occur at block number 840,000. As is evident from the above snippet, the halving-inducing block has now been mined. This means that the reward for mining a block on the Bitcoin blockchain has now been cut in half to […]
Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) appears to have settled on short-sellers - particularly of the "naked" variety - as the prime culprit behind the stock's relentless decline in the past few days, judging by a letter that Truth Social's parent company has now sent to the Nasdaq index. Trump Media and Technology Group's Letter to the Nasdaq Exchange To wit, Trump Media and Technology Group has now penned a letter to urge the Nasdaq exchange to probe its inclusion in the so-called threshold list: "As you know, “naked” short selling — selling shares of a stock without first […]
Eager to establish itself as the world's leading chip manufacturer, Intel is making rapid progress in introducing advanced chip-making machines in its process flow. The firm revealed earlier today that it had completed the assembly of the "industry's first" high numeric aperture chip-making machine at an R&D center in Oregon. Intel's announcement follows a press talk given by the firm earlier this week that explained the benefits of using High NA technology to make chips and how the firm aims to use the unique benefits offered by these machines to speed up its fabrication process. Intel Aims To Put High […]
After giving up the entirety of their post-merger gains, Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) shares are currently in the limelight for their elevated short interest. Yet, in a somewhat unusual move, the company is now advising concerned investors on how to prevent their shares from being loaned out for short positions. Trump Media and Technology Group shares have now experienced two distinct mass liquidation waves in their post-merger phase. The first such wave materialized when the company disclosed that its Truth Social platform raked in a paltry $4.131 million in revenue in the entire of 2023, incurring a […]
Keeping up with its cadence of rapid Starlink launches as part of an attempt to set a new record, SpaceX launched a fresh batch of Starlink satellites from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Today's launch marked the 12th flight of the Falcon 9 booster assigned to the 26th Starlink flight of 2024. SpaceX has launched eight missions so far in April, and out of these, six have been for Starlink satellites. A rapid launch cadence has allowed the Falcon 9 to squeeze more Starlink satellites per launch, allowing SpaceX to recover some of the reductions in the number […]
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson took a wide variety of questions at a hearing of the House Committee of Appropriations earlier today as part of NASA's budget for the fiscal year that ends in 2025. Administrator Nelson's hearing follows NASA's budget request earlier this year, a document with significant cuts to science missions but saw the space agency stick to its funding for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. NASA also separated key portions of SpaceX's Human Landing System (HLS) contract from later missions in its multi billion dollar Artemis program in the budget release, and in his hearing today, Nelson […]
What if a single pharmaceutical intervention regime could not only sustainably shrink your waistline but also cure your Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)? This seems too good to be true. Yet, Eli Lilly and Company's (NYSE: LLY) Tirzepatide GLP-1 drug seems to have achieved just that. Eli Lilly and Company’s "Tirzepatide Led to a Mean AHI Reduction From Baseline of 62.8% Compared to 6.4% From Baseline for Placebo," as per the Results of the SURMOUNT-OSA Study 2. To wit, Eli Lilly and Company has now announced the results of two studies that investigated the impact of its Tirzepatide GLP-1 offering on […]
Until recently, Elon Musk was widely considered Tesla's core strength. Yet, the mega-billionaire's penchant for delving head-first into needless controversies has gone quite a long way in dimming the appeal of this thesis. Look no further than Tesla's board, which has now dared to publicly criticize its famously incalcitrant CEO, albeit in an euphemistic manner, while still trying to retain his good graces. The Drama Elon Musk's 2018 Compensation Package Back in 2018, Tesla awarded Elon Musk one of the biggest compensation packages in American corporate history, worth around $56 billion. The package played a pivotal role in allowing Elon […]
