When the light starts to fade in the evening is when I start feeling it. A rush of heightened awareness, a palpable sense of increased IQ, like my brain is a Sim City growing on fast forward. Daytime’s rural village of slow-talking neurons explodes into a bustling metropolis full of taxis, neon signs, and hot jazz. The sundown rush, I can confirm after years of experimentation, is unrelated to anything I might have imbibed, inhaled, or ingested. If anything, it feels like my morning coffee fully, finally, kicked in. Science is just waking up to why this might be a…

Microsoft is betting on glass data storage for the kind of files you can’t afford to lose, the records that have to survive hardware refreshes, format changes, and decades of time. Its Project Silica research says laser-etched silica glass can hold data for 10,000 years, with room for longer lifespans in normal storage conditions. Data gets written inside a small glass plate with ultra-fast lasers, then imaging and decoding software reconstructs it later. Microsoft has also pointed to a peer-reviewed Nature paper as evidence it can reliably write, read, and decode what it stores. This is aimed at archives, not…

What I love about MyLovely AI is it completely bypasses the “content restricted” problem. You know, you put in a prompt, press enter, and – WHAM! – “content restricted”? Ugh. MyLovely AI just doesn’t play that shit.Honestly, I was skeptical at first. “Join us! We’re unrestricted!” yeah yeah sure. Most of the AI’s are like lawn chairs, they collapse under a little bit of stress. But, I’ll be damned if MyLovely AI actually pulls it off. It’s unrestricted and offers zero fuss.With MyLovely AI, you can generate uncensored, photorealistic images and videos without content restrictions, and without censored images –…

Singapore’s appetite for alternative meat seems to be waning, with yet another lab-grown meat company biting the dust. Cultivated meat company Avant Proteins is shutting down its Singapore operations, reported a notice on Singapore’s Government Gazette. The seafood cell research company declared on Jan 30 that it was voluntarily winding up its business here due to its liabilities. Alternative proteins are foods that have the same taste, texture, and experience of animal products that consumers love–just made in different ways. They comprise plant-based food, cultivated (lab-grown) meat or fungi-based derivatives from fermentation. Avant Proteins is a research firm founded in…

Zuckerberg repeatedly fell back on accusing Lanier of “mischaracterizing” his previous statements. When it came to emails, Zuckerberg typically objected based on how old the message was, or his lack of familiarity with the Meta employees involved. “I don’t think so, no,” he replied when directed to clarify if he knew Karina Newton, Instagram’s head of public policy in 2021. And Zuckerberg never failed to point out when he wasn’t actually on an email thread entered as evidence.Perhaps anticipating these detached and repetitive talking points from Zuckerberg—who claimed over and over that any increased engagement from a user on Facebook…

Generative artificial intelligence models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them.In many cases, materials synthesis is not as simple as following a recipe in the kitchen. Factors like the temperature and length of processing can yield huge changes in a material’s properties that make or break its performance. That has limited researchers’ ability to test millions of promising model-generated materials.Now, MIT researchers have created an AI model that guides scientists through the process of making materials by suggesting…

Cloud-native architectures have fundamentally changed how organizations build, deploy, and scale applications. But they have also introduced new security challenges, especially when it comes to protecting workloads that span virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless environments.As someone who works closely with customers across both pre- and post-sales engagements, I have seen firsthand where organizations struggle with Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), what works in practice, and what truly delivers value once workloads move into runtime. Much of this perspective comes from implementing and operating CWPP solutions like Fidelis CloudPassage Halo across real-world cloud environments. Where Organizations Go Wrong with CWPP…

Remitly CEO Matt Oppenheimer helped launch the company back in 2011, helping grow the firm into a global remittance platform. (Remitly Photo) Remitly co-founder Matt Oppenheimer is stepping down as CEO after nearly 15 years growing the Seattle-based digital remittance company into a profitable, publicly traded fintech giant valued at nearly $3 billion. Veteran tech and finance executive Sebastian Gunningham will replace Oppenheimer, effective Feb. 19. Oppenheimer will become chairman as the company leans into what it calls its next chapter. “This transition isn’t about stepping back. It’s about stepping up into the role that best serves Remitly’s long-term success,”…

Energy infrastructure company Heron Power Inc. announced today that it has raised $140 million in new funding to build a 40-gigawatt, highly automated U.S. manufacturing facility for Heron Link, the company’s solid-state transformer solution for critical energy and artificial intelligence data center projects. Founded in 2024 by former Tesla Inc. executive Drew Baglino, Heron Power develops solid-state transformer systems designed to modernize electrical grid infrastructure. The company is focused on replacing conventional large-format transformers with power electronics-based systems that are intended to address grid interconnection constraints associated with renewable energy, battery storage and large data center deployments. Heron’s approach centers…

Introduction Why this matters now The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a powerful way for AI agents to call context‑aware tools and models through a consistent interface. Rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) and the need for contextual grounding mean that organizations must deploy LLM infrastructure across different environments without sacrificing performance or compliance. In early 2026, cloud outages, rising SaaS prices and looming AI regulations are forcing companies to rethink their infrastructure strategies. By designing MCP deployments that span public cloud services (SaaS), virtual private clouds (VPCs) and on‑premises servers, organizations can balance agility with control.…
