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…

Kaspersky has uncovered a supply chain attack that has infiltrated the official installers of DAEMON Tools, turning them into vehicles for delivering malicious code. “These installers are being distributed through DAEMON Tools’ official website and carry valid digital signatures from the software’s developers,” explained Kaspersky researchers Igor Kuznetsov, Georgy Kucherin, Leonid Bezvershenko, and Anton Kargin. The tampering began on April 8, 2026, affecting versions 12.5.0.2421 through 12.5.0.2434. Although DAEMON Tools is available for both Windows and Mac, Kaspersky confirmed to The Hacker News that only the Windows variant was targeted. The attack remains ongoing at the time of this report.…

Posted on May 5, 2026 by Cortney Nickerson, Kyverno Contributor CNCF projects highlighted in this post We’re thrilled to share the launch of Kyverno 1.18 — our first release since achieving graduation status within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. This version reinforces Kyverno’s expanding role as a Kubernetes-native policy engine, bringing major upgrades in security, CLI functionality, and policy engine dependability. It also advances our shift toward CEL-based policy types, laying the groundwork for the next generation of policy as code. TL;DR Kyverno 1.18 brings: Enhanced security protections for HTTP-based policy execution along with multiple CVE fixes Major CLI upgrades…

It’s a tough job market right now, largely due to widespread economic instability — and scammers are only making things worse. Job and recruitment scams aren’t new, but they used to be much easier to identify. Shady or nonexistent companies, demands for upfront fees to join a “work program,” or requests for credit card details and pre-hiring purchases — those were the main warning signs we had to watch for. **Also: I’m a tech professional, and an AI job scam almost fooled me — here’s how I caught on** The landscape has shifted. As LinkedIn’s inaugural Job Search Safety Pulse…

Credit: Eugene Demaitre To make robots more flexible and capable, they must learn the way people do—but on a massive scale, says Tutor Intelligence Inc. The company has created DF1, its “kindergarten” or Data Factory, which houses 100 bimanual robotic arms. Together with remote teleoperators, or “tutors,” these robots are used to train the company’s Ti0 vision-language-action (VLA) model. “I’ve been constructing robots since I was 9 years old,” shared Josh Gruenstein, co-founder and CEO of Tutor…

# Introduction Before diving in, let’s take a moment to recap what Claude Code is and why it’s worth learning. Claude Code is an AI-powered coding assistant from Anthropic that can understand your codebase, modify files, execute commands, resolve bugs, write tests, generate commits, and integrate with external tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It operates across the terminal, IDEs, desktop apps, browsers, and other development environments, making it suitable for everything from quick experiments to serious software engineering. In this installment of our “5 Fun Projects” series, you’ll learn through hands-on practice. The projects begin with a straightforward…
