The circadian rhythm, also known as the biological clock, plays a crucial role in our body’s functioning. When people don’t get regular sleep or have erratic sleeping patterns, it can disrupt the body’s rhythm. This can lead to people feeling tired and not being able to perform optimally. Over the years, various studies have tried to understand the circadian rhythm’s role on our health, and the latest one from the University of Exeter, United Kingdom has some interesting findings. In a paper published in the European Heart Journal, researchers have revealed that getting regular sleep between 10 pm and 11…

A new report out today from the Google Threat Intelligence Group is warning that threat actors are moving beyond casual experimentation with artificial intelligence and are now beginning to integrate AI directly into operational attack workflows. The report focuses in part on abuse and targeting of Google’s own Gemini models, underscoring how generative AI systems are increasingly being tested, probed and, in some cases, incorporated into malicious tooling. Google’s researchers observed some malware families making direct application programming calls to Gemini during execution. Notably, the strains dynamically request generated source code from the model to carry out specific tasks, rather…

This web scraper runs entirely in your browser and is perfect for creating training data for AI models. It works by reading the website’s sitemap.xml file, making it particularly well-suited for modern platforms like Squarespace and Shopify that automatically generate sitemaps.The scraper preserves the structure of your content, including headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables, while removing unnecessary elements like navigation menus and footers. It also captures metadata, images, and PDF documents.

MOF’s first inequality deep-dive since 2015 tracks who got richer, how wealth piled up, and why climbing the ladder is getting harder The latest Singapore Occasional Paper on income growth, inequality and social mobility trends has been released by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on Feb 9. For the first time, the government is releasing data on wealth inequality, where administrative data taken from household surveys is used to derive estimates of wealth distribution in Singapore. This is the second Occasional Paper to be published, coming after the first one that was released in Aug 2015. Here are some of…

For more than a decade, MIT Associate Professor Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli has used artificial intelligence to create new materials. As the technology has expanded, so have his ambitions.Now, the newly tenured professor in materials science and engineering believes AI is poised to transform science in ways never before possible. His work at MIT and beyond is devoted to accelerating that future.“We’re at a second inflection point,” Gómez-Bombarelli says. “The first one was around 2015 with the first wave of representation learning, generative AI, and high-throughput data in some areas of science. Those are some of the techniques I first brought into my…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 12, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking News Threat activity this week shows one consistent signal — attackers are leaning harder on what already works. Instead of flashy new exploits, many operations are built around quiet misuse of trusted tools, familiar workflows, and overlooked exposures that sit in plain sight. Another shift is how access is gained versus how it’s used. Initial entry points are getting simpler, while post-compromise activity is becoming more deliberate, structured, and persistent. The objective is less about disruption and more about staying embedded long enough to extract value. There’s also growing overlap between cybercrime, espionage tradecraft,…

Email should be a premium space- almost sacred. But its not. Instead, it has become spam. Let’s stop that, why don’t we? The SaaS industry is currently obsessed with “volume.” As we discussed in the SaaSpocalypse, the response to a lack of growth is almost always to create more—more content, more webinars, and especially, more emails. a pattern that has distorted many B2B SaaS growth marketing strategies today. But in this rush to automate, we’ve forgotten a fundamental truth: Email is supposed to be premium owned media. It is the best, most direct line of communication you have with your market. Yet, walk…

(Ironwood Studios Image) The Seattle-area independent production studio behind the hit video game Pacific Drive raised $4 million in seed funding. The round, led by Lifelike Capital, is aimed toward financing Redmond, Wash.-based Ironwood Studios’ next game. Pacific Drive, released in Feb. 2024 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC and published by Kepler Interactive, is a “driving survival” game set in 1998, where players build, fix, and customize an old station wagon in order to survive a science-warped zone in the rural Pacific Northwest. Notably, PD features no traditional combat; instead, you must outwit and evade environmental dangers while using scrap…

Just yesterday, we were talking about how Google is going straight to Android 17 Beta 1 without going down the Developer Preview route like it usually does, and how the first beta could have dropped yesterday. However, the Alphabet-owned giant seems to have cancelled those plans. Although the Android 17 Beta 1 was scheduled to arrive at 10 AM PT, the company decided to pull the plug on the beta release. In a statement sent to Android Police, Google says that “last-minute changes” have led to the delay. Google Android 17 Beta 1 is now “coming soon” “Android Beta 1…

Discussions around artificial intelligence increasingly focus on speed, scale, and strategic advantage. These are important debates. But they risk overlooking a more fundamental issue—one that ultimately determines whether AI strengthens security or undermines it. AI does not create intelligence on its own. It amplifies what it is given. And what it is given is data. As governments deploy AI across defense, intelligence, border security, and public services, the quality, integrity, and governance of underlying data become decisive. Without trusted data, even the most advanced AI systems produce unreliable outcomes. In national security contexts, that is not simply a performance problem—it…
