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 […]

ASML managed to wipe $50 billion off its market capitalization a few days back when it revealed that it managed to book only around half of the orders that analysts expected for its just-concluded quarter, sowing market-wide chaos in the process as the investors immediately started doubting the strength of the ongoing AI-related tailwind. Of course, the company's earnings call helped to stabilize the macro sentiment when it emerged that ASML's abnormal order pipeline weakness was largely due to idiosyncratic factors affecting Intel and Samsung, with the company's forward guidance curtailed by China's return to normalcy after it rushed to […]
Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics' chip manufacturing division is likely to lose out to TSMC in terms of revenue after it releases its third quarter earnings, according to reports in the Korean press. This will mark a sharp contrast over the second quarter results, which saw a recovery in the global memory market and propelled Samsung's chip making division, called the Device Solutions division, to the top of the global foundry pyramid. Korean analysts believe that Samsung DS' third quarter revenue will fail to grow sequentially, and since TSMC's Q3 revenue jumped by 12.9% over the previous quarter, the firm […]
When you have the Minneapolis Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) castigating Bitcoin with near-synchronicity, odds are that it is a coordinated attack. Yet, some of the hallmark characteristics of Bitcoin that these monetarists so vehemently attack are, confoundingly, the ones most cherished by Bitcoin maximalists, hinting towards a fundamental chasm that refuses to yield to any attempt at reconciliation. Government-Backed Papers On Bitcoin 1/ This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh […]
Ahead of SpaceX's Starship Flight 5, Elon Musk was unsure whether the tower arms would successfully catch the Super Heavy booster during the test. SpaceX's booster catch was one of the most important test objectives of the Starship program since it is vital to reusing the rocket booster for rapid flights. Before Flight 5, SpaceX had shared that it would carefully evaluate the booster's systems during launch, and a manual go ahead would be given by the launch director before a catch attempt. The successful catch surprised many, including Musk, and it also paved the way for additional ambitious test […]
Tesla has continued to encounter hefty skepticism in relation to its vision-only approach to autonomous driving. Now, as the EV giant gears up to introduce an unsupervised version of the FSD as soon as next year, the NHTSA has launched a new investigation into the supposedly impaired ability of Tesla's bespoke autonomy solution to navigate reduced visibility conditions. To wit, the NHTSA has now launched a preliminary investigation into a number of road accidents that occurred in reduced visibility conditions with Tesla's FSD enabled, with at least one of the four accidents under investigation proving to be fatal. The agency […]
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has assured that it is committed to complying with all regulations that prohibit it from selling chips to and having business dealings with Chinese technology giant Huawei. Huawei is forbidden by US law to acquire high end chips that are manufactured using US origin technologies, and TSMC's comments came in response to a report that claimed that the firm was being investigated by the US for having ties to Huawei. The purported investigation is being headed by the Commerce Department, and it covers TSMC's artificial intelligence and smartphone chips. TSMC Assures It Will Take […]
Nuclear energy is currently attracting exorbitant interest to meet the soaring demand from data centers throughout the continental US as the nation prepares to tap the century-defining potential that AI offers.

SpaceX's Raptor engines on the Starship Super Heavy booster weren't the only equipment on the booster that was warped after Starship Flight 5. A closer look at the test's footage shows that the booster's grid fins were also disfigured after the second stage Starship spacecraft separated from the first stage to start its journey. These fins are essential for the booster's landing, and despite the damage, they worked well to guide Starship Super Heavy back to the launch pad for the first tower catch of the Starship program. SpaceX also uses grid fins on the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage […]
Sometimes you encounter something so bizarre, you can't help but think that it has got to be a part of a fictitious script and not a sequence of in-your-face reality. Today, we'll talk about how two AI instances talk among themselves and end up spawning a memetic religion, which then creates an obsessed acolyte out of a shit-posting AI agent, who ultimately ends up creating the viral meme coin, called goatseus maximus or GOAT, replete with a market capitalization of $150 million. This story is fucking insane 3 months ago, Marc Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin to an AI agent […]
SpaceX has shared fresh images of its Starship Flight 5 test as teams in Starbase celebrate the booster's return to the assembly facilities. The Starship tests are the first of their kind to broadcast high definition views of some of the most strenuous portions of a rocket journey courtesy of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation. The latest batch of images shows both the Super Heavy booster and the upper stage Starship in the foreground as the Earth's curvature is visible. They also show the second stage Starship spacecraft engulfed in plasma during its return to Earth. SpaceX Shares Fresh Starship […]
The gloves are truly off. In what is nothing other than a scathing attack on the crypto sector in general and Bitcoin in particular, the Minneapolis Federal Reserve President, Neel Kashkari, has tried to bludgeon the very ethos of Bitcoin in a recent public talk. Yet, with the US Dollar losing ~90 percent of its value in relation to Bitcoin over the past 5 years alone, we would continue to recommend a hefty dose of caution and humility to the purveyors of our modern monetary system. ₿𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Neel Kashkari explains why he […]
In what has all of the necessary ingredients to morph into a doomsday scenario, China's scientists have reportedly leveraged Western quantum computing tech - from D-Wave, specifically - to crack open encryption algorithms that were previously considered unbreakable. This development marks a significant milestone for the still-nascent field of quantum cryptography. “BREAKING: Chinese quantum computer just cracked multiple SPN algorithms. This is way bigger than cracking the ENIGMA code. The future of encryption is at stake.”https://t.co/ZhphtZIdjr — William Huo (@wmhuo168) October 12, 2024 To wit, as per a report by the South China Morning Post, a team of researchers led […]
