OnePlus has strongly denied a recent report suggesting that the company is being “dismantled” and winding down its business, reaffirming that its operations are continuing normally. The clarification comes after an Android Headlines investigation claimed that OnePlus was effectively collapsing and being absorbed into its parent company Oppo, a narrative that triggered widespread speculation across tech circles and social platforms. According to the report, OnePlus’ global presence and market share have sharply declined, internal teams are allegedly being reduced, and key product launches might have been cancelled as part of an asserted consolidation strategy within Oppo. While no official confirmation…

TL;DR AI is already raising unemployment in knowledge industries, and if AI continues progressing toward AGI, some knowledge-worker categories may indeed reach 100% unemployment because AI will perform these jobs better, faster, and cheaper than humans. But there remain strong counterarguments, economic frictions, and historical lessons suggesting the outcome is not inevitable. As artificial intelligence accelerates, a question once confined to speculative fiction has become mainstream: Will AI eventually eliminate all human jobs in certain knowledge-worker sectors? “There will be rebellion!” Recent data shows rising unemployment in fields most exposed to automation. Experts warn that AI could erase large numbers…

Arguably, a few pleasures in life may be more satisfying than a restful sleep. Everyone needs one, no matter who.

Constantly bombarded with an endless feed of content on the infinity scroll, the youth has tried it all, from yoga to vipassana and everything under the sun that its practitioners claim to bring peace and rest. Youngsters are flocking to a new TikTok trend in…

Ok, going away to the place that had just been breached (ironic!) didn't help, but I think in general the pace we've maintained this year just needs to come back a bit. That said, I'll try to get this week's and next week's out on time, then it's off on travels for the next four weeks after that. Stay tuned for more IoT problems in a few…

XBuild, a company aiming to bring artificial intelligence to residential construction contractors, today announced it raised $19 million in early-stage funding to build what it calls a “vibe coding” estimating platform for construction projects. N47 led the Series A round, and Rackhouse Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz also participated. XBuild was founded by the Firemaps Inc. team, which provides a tech-driven solution that helps California homeowners protect their homes against wildfires by connecting them with contractors to complete and maintain “hardening” work.

Every autumn, as the Northern Hemisphere moves toward winter, Judah Cohen starts to piece together a complex atmospheric puzzle. Cohen, a research scientist in MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), has spent decades studying how conditions in the Arctic set the course for winter weather throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. His research dates back to his postdoctoral work with Bacardi and Stockholm Water Foundations Professor Dara Entekhabi that looked at snow cover in the Siberian region and its connection with winter forecasting.Cohen’s outlook for the 2025–26 winter highlights a season characterized by indicators emerging from the Arctic…
