The GENE026.5 robot brain enables dexterous, two-handed cooking. Source: Genesis AI After years of steady progress, robots are becoming far more skillful at handling objects, driven by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Genesis AI has now introduced GENE-26.5, a system it says grants robots “human-level physical manipulation capabilities.” The San Carlos, California-based company also revealed a method to “unlock unlimited amounts of data” and train GENE-26.5 at large scale. This method brings together two proprietary elements: a new data engine and a human-scale robotic hand that allows skills to be transferred directly from people to robots. “Together, these innovations remove the…

Hasan Piker dedicates seven to eight hours daily, every single day, to live-streaming on Twitch. The progressive political commentator began his career in 2013 as an intern (and occasional host) for the Young Turks. Over ten years on, he has become a major newsfluencer, leading Twitch’s Politics and Commentary category with the top channel. More than 3 million followers tune in for his analysis and wit regarding the decline of American power, international relations, and why Bernie Sanders would have been victorious. Some also find him quite attractive. Piker hits the gym every morning he can and eats a pound…

In 2026, the cybersecurity world faces a harsh contradiction: despite record levels of spending, breaches keep getting more frequent and more expensive. For today’s Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and large enterprises, the tried-and-true “defense in depth” approach has turned into a costly jumble of isolated security tools that strain both budgets and security teams. At this year’s RSAC 2026 conference, the focus is evolving. It’s no longer sufficient for security tools to only spot threats. To truly succeed, cybersecurity must be profitable, automated, and unified. Seceon is at the forefront of this transformation, enhancing its Open Threat Management (OTM) Platform…

I’ll paraphrase the article while keeping the HTML structure intact. Federal hiring managers now have access to a new technology tool aimed at simplifying one of the initial stages in the government’s frequently cumbersome and drawn-out hiring process. The Office of Personnel Management launched a new AI-powered tool called USA Class on Monday. It can create and refine position descriptions for hiring managers to include in job postings. According to OPM, the tool will help shorten the time-to-hire and reduce administrative workload for HR staff. OPM announced in a press release that USA Class will be available in early May…

The Internet of Things (IoT) has subtly transformed the way people engage with everyday devices. From smart homes to industrial automation, machines are no longer passive tools – they actively sense and adapt to human behaviour. At the heart of this transformation lies human-machine interaction (HMI), which focuses on making communication between humans and devices more natural and intuitive.Among the many technologies enabling this shift, proximity sensors and gesture detection stand out. They allow users to interact with machines without physical contact, creating seamless and efficient experiences. These technologies are already part of daily life, often unnoticed, yet they play…

Large language models are becoming remarkably capable, but there’s no denying that their inference speed remains a serious challenge for anyone deploying them in real-world applications. Google has just rolled out Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 model series. This specialized speculative decoding framework can deliver up to three times (3x) faster performance during inference, with zero compromise on output quality or reasoning precision. The launch follows shortly after Gemma 4 crossed 60 million downloads and directly tackles one of the biggest obstacles in large language model deployment: the memory-bandwidth bottleneck that throttles token generation no matter how…

Used microscopy datasetsHere, we describe the ten microscopy datasets we have used in this work, eight of which have been generated de novo by the authors; two others were taken from a previous publication3. All datasets will be publicly available, enabling full reproducibility of all experiments and results we have presented, and allowing others to directly compare their own methodological improvements to the approach we have presented. The datasets cover a broad spectrum of noise levels (SNR), number of imaged fluorescent channels, overall intensity and relative intensity of these channels, imaging modality (for example confocal, spinning disk confocal, structured illumination,…

Bitcoin has surged more than 20% in the last month, yet the underlying mechanics of this rally tell a very different story than the price action implies. Derivatives traders are predominantly short. Large holders are offloading into the rally. Momentum indicators point to a temporary bounce against the trend, not the start of a sustained upward move. While the price chart looks optimistic, the structural signals beneath it lean pessimistic. Derivatives Data Signals Caution Despite the Price Surge Recent market rallies have typically followed a predictable cycle. Bullish traders enter early, leverage builds across perpetual futures, funding rates swing sharply…
