Today’s stunning computing power is allowing us to move from human intelligence toward artificial intelligence. And as our machines gain more power, they’re becoming not just tools but decision-makers shaping our future.But with great power comes great…heat!As nanometer-scale transistors switch at gigahertz speeds, electrons race through circuits, losing energy as heat—which you feel when your laptop or your phone toasts your fingers. As we’ve crammed more and more transistors onto chips, we’ve lost the room to release that heat efficiently. Instead of the heat spreading out quickly across the silicon, which makes it much easier to remove, it builds up…
A $450M plan to build a 450-foot statue of Prometheus on Alcatraz Island has been pitched by Ross Calvin, a Bitcoin mining entrepreneur, marking one of the most ambitious monument proposals in recent memory. According to Bloomberg, the concept formally titled The Great Colossus of Prometheus on Alcatraz would feature a towering nickel-bronze sculpture and a high-tech museum dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship. The project’s estimated height would surpass that of the Statue of Liberty, standing as a symbol of “human triumph” and the spirit of self-sovereignty that crypto advocates often reference. Alcatraz, once a notorious federal prison and now…
As more companies quickly begin using gen AI, it’s important to avoid a big mistake that could impact its effectiveness: Proper onboarding. Companies spend time and money training new human workers to succeed, but when they use large language model (LLM) helpers, many treat them like simple tools that need no explanation. This isn't just a waste of resources; it's risky. Research shows that AI has advanced quickly from testing to actual use in 2024 to 2025, with almost a third of companies reporting a sharp increase in usage and acceptance from the previous year.Probabilistic systems need governance, not wishful…
Charles Schwab is seeing booming engagement from retail investors in its crypto products. In an interview with CNBC, CEO Rick Wurster said that visits to Schwab’s crypto platform have increased by 90% year-over-year, signaling strong investor appetite for Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin futures, and other crypto exchange-traded products. Schwab clients now hold roughly 20% of all crypto ETPs in the U.S. Wurster emphasized that the company is responding to this demand by providing a wide array of crypto investment options and educational resources, combining digital access with traditional client support through calls and branch offices. Charles Schwab will also offer spot…
Dogecoin trades near $0.18 after a 29% weekly drop. Analysts track repeating cycles that could push price to $5–$7 if trends hold. Dogecoin is trading around $0.18 after dropping more than 29% over the past week. The asset is down by 9% in the past day alone. Despite the decline, some analysts point to long-term price patterns that may repeat. If the structure follows past cycles, a sharp move higher could follow. Dogecoin Follows Repeating Market Cycles The chart from Bitcoinsensus shows three repeating cycles in Dogecoin’s history. Each starts with a large drop, followed by a long sideways…
The Bitcoin (BTC) mining difficulty fell to 146.7 trillion on Friday as the network hashrate, the average of the total computing power dedicated to securing the decentralized protocol, hit an all-time high of over 1.2 trillion hashes per second.BTC mining difficulty is down by about 2.7% from the all-time high difficulty level of over 150.8 trillion reached during the previous adjustment period, according to CoinWarz.Bitcoin mining difficulty drops.

XRP has shown some signs of recovery over the past 48 hours, climbing about 5.3 % from its recent low, according to on-chain analytics platform Santiment. The rebound comes as investor confidence appears to be returning, as it coincides with a steady rise in mid to large-sized XRP holders. Particularly, on-chain data shows that the XRP ecosystem now has more than 317,500 wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP tokens for the first time in its history.

Vector databases (DBs), once specialist research instruments, have become widely used infrastructure in just a few years. They power today's semantic search, recommendation engines, anti-fraud measures and gen AI applications across industries. There are a deluge of options: PostgreSQL with pgvector, MySQL HeatWave, DuckDB VSS, SQLite VSS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus and several others.The riches of choices sound like a boon to companies. But just beneath, a growing problem looms: Stack instability. New vector DBs appear each quarter, with disparate APIs, indexing schemes and performance trade-offs. Today's ideal choice may look dated or limiting tomorrow.To business AI teams, volatility translates into…

Google has announced DeepSomatic, an AI tool that can identify cancer-related mutations in tumour genetic sequences more accurately.Cancer starts when the controls governing cell division malfunction. Finding the specific genetic mutations driving a tumour’s growth is essential for creating effective treatment plans. Doctors now regularly sequence tumour cell genomes from biopsies to inform treatments that can target how a particular cancer grows and spreads.Published in Nature Biotechnology, this work presents a tool that uses convolutional neural networks to identify genetic variants in tumour cells with greater accuracy than current methods. Google has made both DeepSomatic and the high-quality training dataset…
