It’s more of a baa-ter arrangement. canon_photographer/Shutterstock Volkswagen has some woolly new unofficial employees flocking to one of its European facilities. There are now 100 sheep grazing at the solar farm that powers the car company’s manufacturing plant in Poznań, Poland. Electrek reports that in addition to replacing lawn mowers, the critters are part of a bigger research project to study agrivoltaics, where agriculture and energy are farmed in the same space in a symbiotic relationship. Poznań University of Life Sciences is handling the study of the flock, exploring how the grazing activity impacts animal welfare,…

Meta’s year so far hasn’t exactly been a picnic. But that didn’t stop one nut-loving creature from seeking some joy inside one of the company’s offices this week.A squirrel apparently got loose inside a building in Bangkok, Thailand, where some of the tech giant’s regional teams are based. The critter spent at least 20 minutes darting past staff, according to an internal memo seen by WIRED. It noted that the squirrel minorly injured a janitor before finally being caught.The rodent’s adventure in the office—while potentially terrifying to some—brought a moment of levity to Meta staff around the world who have…

How’s this for a location?! I mean, last week was nice with Scott in Mallorca, but Marrakech is, well, wow 😮 Anyway, about those data breaches… This week I’m talking about the futility of attempting to remove piss from a pool, yet here we are, with various companies wanting to place that message alongside the very data breaches they can do nothing about! As I say in the post, I don’t question the good intentions behind setting up a service to try to scrub data from legally operating data brokers, but the marketing machines behind those organisations that regularly reach…

Your smart TV is watching you. Well, not “watching” exactly, but it is keeping track of what you watch and selling that data to other companies. They also do that in reverse, showing you ads based on what you’ve viewed elsewhere. This is partly why you might search for something on Amazon, then suddenly see ads for it on your TV, phone and on other websites. While this tracking is an unfortunate part of the modern internet, there are ways you can minimize it when it comes to your TV. There are no good dumb consumer TVs anymore; all the best…

Chip startup SambaNova Inc. today announced that it has raised $1 billion in funding at a $11 billion valuation. General Atlantic led the Series F round with contributions from more than a dozen others. Intel Capital, Vista Equity Partners and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were among the participants. The investment follows a $350 million round in February.  SambaNova debuted its flagship product, an inference chip called the SN50, in conjunction with the February raise. The company says the accelerator can provide more than three times as much throughput as Nvidia Corp.’s B200 graphics card. The SN50’s top speed, in turn,…

Sophos looked at a week of its own endpoint data and found that AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex are setting off detection rules written to catch human intruders. The agents are not malicious. They just do a lot of things that, to a behavioral engine, look exactly like an attack. Decrypting browser credentials, listing what sits in Windows’ credential store, pulling files down with built-in system tools, writing to the startup folder: these have long been high-signal to defenders. What has changed is who is generating it. On the machines Sophos watched, it was…

Professor Jesse Thaler has been named director of the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS), effective Aug. 1. He succeeds Professor Bolek Wyslouch, who directed LNS for the past decade. Thaler is a theoretical particle physicist who combines techniques from quantum field theory and machine learning to address outstanding questions in fundamental physics. “In his research, Jesse has done pioneering work on particle jets at the Large Hadron Collider and is a leader in combining AI and machine learning with fundamental particle physics,” says Nergis Mavalvala, dean of the MIT School of Science and the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of…

SDRs pitch before the buyer has admitted they have a problem. But gap selling fixes that. Here’s why the distance between current and future state is the only thing worth selling. Key Takeaways Gap selling centers every conversation on the distance between a buyer’s current state and their desired future state. The cost of inaction is what creates genuine urgency in gap selling. Discovery only works in gap selling when the rep prepares a hypothesis about the buyer’s current state before the call. Gap selling breaks down when reps rush from problem identification to solution. AI scales gap selling by…

[This is a sponsored article written in collaboration with Tropicana Corporation Berhad.] There was a time when buying a home was simply about finding the right location, enough space, and a practical layout. Today, expectations around homeownership have evolved. Today’s home buyers want more than just a place to live. They’re looking for a home that complements the way they live, where leisure, convenience, and everyday experiences become part of homeownership.  In tune with this shift, premium developers like Tropicana are going beyond traditional selling points like location and facilities. They’re pairing properties with lifestyle perks and exclusive benefits that…
