Google is developing its own Samsung DeX-like desktop mode for Android. Samsung DeX is a software feature that emulates a desktop UI that presents a desktop-like interface, allowing users to launch multiple apps in floating windows and control everything with a keyboard and mouse. The feature is still unfinished and almost certainly won't launch by the release of Android 16. This article presents a preview of the new desktop mode.

Amazon's Kindle app for iPhones and iPads wouldn't actually let anyone buy books in the app, until yesterday. The iOS app still doesn't allow books to be purchased directly in the app, but users can search Amazon's virtual bookstore inside the app and tap a new button that automatically pops them over to Amazon's website. Apple plans to appeal the ruling to allow third-party developers to use alternate payment processors in their apps - if successful, it could create new potential PR headaches for Apple as the company would then be taking away something from developers and users rather than preserving the status quo.

The Federal Aviation Administration has agreed to allow SpaceX to substantially increase the number of annual launches from its Starbase launch site in South Texas. SpaceX will now be able to conduct up to 25 Starship launches and landings during a calendar year. It will be required to undertake dozens of actions to mitigate environmental impacts. The company has yet to announce a firm date for its ninth Starship flight test.

Stratolaunch's Talon-A2 reusable hypersonic rocket plane has already carried multiple experiments and delivered payloads. The company is aiming for monthly flights by the end of the year and eventually wants to ramp up to weekly flights. The Pentagon has spent about $12 billion on hypersonic weapons development and testing since 2018 - none of the weapons are operational yet. China's first hypersonic weapon became operational in 2019, and Russia's government claimed it deployed a hypersonic weapon in the same year. The Pentagon's hunger for hypersonic weapons will likely fund Stratolaunch for some time to come.

Google has released early access to a version of Gemini 2.5 Pro with significantly improved coding capabilities. The model is reportedly better at coding tasks such as building interactive web apps, code transformation, code editing, and creating agentic workflows. It was scheduled to debut at Google I/O, but Google released it early in response to positive feedback. The updated Gemini 2.5 Pro is placed at the top of the WebDev Arena Leaderboard and scored 84.8% on the VideoMME benchmark.

Hyper is a simple markup language for building user interfaces that enables developers to generate complex UIs with clean syntax. It is a headless view layer focused on rendering. Hyper allows developers to ditch the hundreds of frameworks, tools, languages, idioms, libraries, and practices that attempt to solve problems within the idiomatic React stack. This post compares React to Hyper.

UK retailers Harrods, Marks & Spencer, and Co-op have all reported cyber intrusions in the past two weeks. A group that calls itself Star Fraud (but more widely known as Scattered Spider) is suspected to be the culprit of the hacks. The attacks bear all the hallmarks of the group's attacks. Other retailers have been warned to harden their defences as the group usually works its way through a sector.

Uber has announced that it will increase its in-office requirements and change benefits. Employees will be required to come into the office three days a week starting in June. The eligibility for Uber's month-long paid sabbatical benefit has been raised from five years at the company to eight years.

Elon Musk and Tesla's chair have denied a report that the company's board had launched a search process for a new CEO. The report said that Tesla's board had reached out to several executive search firms to work on a process for finding Tesla's next chief executive. Musk criticized the Wall Street Journal for publishing the article, saying that Tesla's board of directors had unequivocally denied its claims beforehand. The outlet had reported that Musk had not responded to requests for comment.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said during court proceedings that he hopes that Google Gemini will be added as a built-in option for iPhones this year. Pichai has held a series of conversations with Apple CEO Tim Cook and hopes to have a deal completed by the middle of this year. Apple's annual developer conference will be held on the week of June 9 - if a deal is agreed to, it will likely be announced then.

Tools for Humanity, the startup behind the World human verification project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has unveiled a mobile device designed to help people determine the difference between humans and AI agents. The Orb Mini looks like a smartphone, but it has two large sensors on the front to scan users' eyeballs. The data is used to create a unique identifier on the blockchain to verify that users are human. It is still unclear what the ultimate functionality of the Orb Mini will be, but its current main purpose is to verify more people.

Chinese tech company Leapting's AI-controlled robot successfully helped install 10,000 solar modules at its first commercial deployment in Australia. The 2.5-meter-high robotic arm sits on a crawler that can adapt to different terrain and environmental conditions. Its use increased efficiency by three to five times compared to manual operations. The robot will be deployed to another Australian solar farm to start work in May to install around 500,000 panels.

The list is designed to ensure developers are not overwhelmed by complexity.

A US federal judge has ruled that Apple must loosen its grip on its App Store and stop collecting a commission on some app sales. Apple was previously ordered to allow apps to provide users with external links to pay developers directly for services to avoid the 30% commission Apple charges. The company instead created a new system that forced apps with external sales to pay a 27% commission to the company and also created pop-up screens that discouraged customers from paying elsewhere. Apple is now restricted from taking commissions from sales outside the App Store and from displaying messages discouraging users from making external purchases. It is being investigated for criminal contempt.

Labor conditions for recent college graduates have deteriorated noticeably in the past few months. Unemployment now stands at an unusually high 5.8%. This could be the signal of short-term economic drag, medium-term changes to the value of a college degree, or long-term changes to the relationship between people and AI. Today's graduates are entering into an uncertain economy where some businesses are so focused on tomorrow's profit margin that they're less willing to hire workers who will take time to learn on the job.

AdSense for Search is now available for companies that want to show relevant ads in their conversational AI experiences.

LM Arena allegedly allowed some industry-leading AI companies to privately test several variants of AI models and then not publish the scores of the lowest performers, making it easier for these companies to achieve a top spot on the platform's leaderboard.

The internet enables individuals to meet like-minded people around the world, creating a new means of connection.

Private Processing lets users offload tasks to privacy-preserving cloud servers to utilize advanced AI features.

The audience for these memos is not the people who work at these companies, it's for other CEOs, investors, and VCs in the industry - just as it was for the other fads of the last few years.

Meta has launched Meta AI, a standalone AI app built on the company's latest Llama 4 model. Its standout feature is the Discover feed, which lets users see how their connections use Meta AI. Users have full control over what gets shared, but opting out of having user data scraped to train Meta's AI is nearly impossible. The app is designed to pair with Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses - users can start a conversation via voice through the glasses and then continue in the app or web interface later.

Waymo and Toyota have announced a preliminary partnership to explore bringing robotaxi technology to personally-owned vehicles. The partnership could result in Waymo incorporating Toyota's vehicles into its ride-hailing fleet. Waymo has previously worked with many other automakers, but most of these partnerships only resulted in the companies producing modified vehicles for testing or for Waymo to use in its fleets. The company now serves 250,000 paid rides per week through its commercial driverless ride-hailing services in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Austin regions.

Intel's 14A chip node will feature a mysterious 'turbo cell' technology designed to boost CPU and GPU speeds. It will offer a 15% to 20% performance-per-watt increase over the 18A process. The 14A process will arrive in 2027 alongside a '14-E' node developed to contain additional feature extensions. The company is also currently developing another node called 18A-P, scheduled to arrive next year, designed to deliver enhanced performance to a broader set of foundry customers.

Tesla was the most quoted battery brand in the second half of last year. It was also the second-most quoted inverter brand - its Powerwall 3 includes an integrated inverter that works for both solar and storage applications. Tesla's growth is lowering storage and solar prices. It is unclear whether brand backlash or equipment shortages will affect Tesla's marketplace share this year.

While most bots are just trying to discover new content, there are some created to spam, scrape content, or hack - one way to deal with these bots is by using zip bombs. A zip bomb is a relatively small compressed file that can expand into a very large file that can overwhelm a machine. This post walks readers through how to create a zip bomb to prevent malicious bots from accessing their servers. While zip bombs can be easily detected and circumvented, they are good enough for protecting servers from unsophisticated bots.

Meta's Llama API is now available in a limited preview. The API allows developers to build Llama-driven services, tools, and applications. It comes with an evaluation suite for testing the quality of custom models. Meta says it won't use customer data from the API to train its models. Models built using the Llama API can be transferred to another host. Access to the API will be expanded in the coming weeks and months.

The relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft has become strained. The companies' chief executive officers are increasingly at odds over the computing power Microsoft provides to OpenAI, the access OpenAI gives Microsoft to its models, and whether OpenAI's AI systems will soon achieve humanlike intelligence. The companies wield tremendous power over one another: Microsoft can effectively block OpenAI's effort to restructure into an independent for-profit company, and OpenAI's board can prevent Microsoft from accessing its most cutting-edge technology. While they helped each other become power players in generative AI, they are now preparing for independent futures.

There are many stories about companies replacing human engineers with AI. This thread contains responses from real engineers that discuss the current industry landscape. While there is a lot of hype about AI, much of it is built on a misunderstanding of what real engineering work is. Most of an engineer's time is spent thinking and talking about the problem and solutions, not coding. The hard part of software engineering isn't making new code - a large portion of the work is dealing with people, understanding what they really want or need, and helping them understand it.

About a quarter of all clinical trials and early drug development now happens in China.

Starlink's new 12-month residential service plans bring the price of the dish and router down to $0 in select markets.

Performance optimization is hard because you have to explore dozens of cases manually, iterate with inadequate tooling, and merge incompatible optimizations while dealing with both corporate greed and cultural apathy.

Amazon has booked more than 80 launches with ULA, SpaceX, Arianespace, and Blue Origin to deploy dozens of satellites at a time. The company will invest up to $10 billion to build the Kuiper network.

OpenAI has announced new shopping features in ChatGPT Search that will allow users to search for products and purchase them through merchant websites after being redirected from the ChatGPT interface. The experience resembles Google Shopping - users click on a product image and the interface displays multiple retailers on the right side of the screen with buttons to complete purchases. Product reviews come from various online sources and users can choose which review sources for ChatGPT to prioritize. The product results are not sponsored for now, but the company is likely working towards enabling sponsored placements.

A new 3D-printed Starbucks has opened in Brownsville, Texas. The Cobod BOD2-printed concrete fabricated shop is open for both in-person pickup and drive-through orders. It is not a very large store - its 1,400 sq ft shell is just enough for a mobile order pick-up desk and a drive-through coffee shop. There is no indoor seating and no in-person walk-in order system.

Scientists from London's King's College and Imperial College have grown a tooth in a lab. They used a specially developed material to mimic the conditions required for natural tooth development. The technology could eventually offer patients a biological alternative to artificial fillings and implants. Now that researchers have replicated the right environment, the challenge is in translating the discovery into a clinical setting.

PlanGo had one developer until 2025. This was made possible through Rails, which allowed the developer to be fast and efficient. The company's apps combined have over 100,000 yearly downloads, all built and maintained by one Rails developer. This post discusses how PlanGo was developed, the lessons learned over 14 years of building as a solo technical founder, and PlanGo's future plans.

OpenAI's models being overly sycophantic is bad because it's dangerous to validate people's belief that they're always in the right. This sycophancy is a dark pattern - a user interface designed to trick users into doing things they'd prefer not to do. The whole process of turning an AI base model into a model you can chat to is a process of making the model want to please the user. The problem happens when users collide with the real world and do things because a large language model has convinced them it is a good idea - and then they return to the model for comfort, and sink even deeper into the illusion.

Many in the tech industry arrived at where they are through their own work and research - reading the source code, books, and manuals and trying things out. While this may make some of them think they're better than college graduates, this is likely not the case: people are really good at justifying their status, and this is just another way for some people to reinforce existing power structures. A lot of college dropouts worked really hard to get where they are, but that doesn't mean they didn't also just get very lucky.

BYD has set an ambitious target to double its overseas sales to more than 800,000 cars in 2025.

Waymo's long-term business plans include the possibility of personal ownership. The company recently expanded testing to Japan and plans to introduce robotaxis in Austin this summer. Waymo previously floated the idea of selling self-driving cars when it made a deal with Chrysler in 2018 to build self-driving Pacifica minivans. Tesla also aims to release a personal self-driving car - it announced at an event last year that the Cybercab will be available by 2026 for $30,000.

Google claims that it is the only company capable of running Chrome effectively due to complex service integrations. Separating the browser from the company's servers could make some features unusable. Despite Google's claims, experts believe that a Chrome divestiture is technically feasible. There are many parties interested in buying Chrome, including OpenAI and Yahoo.

Humanoid robots are becoming increasingly capable as more and more companies invest hundreds of millions of dollars into the technology. Some are now being tested in the field to see if they can do useful work. Humanoid robots can now dance, run, and do flips, but while manipulation capabilities are improving, they still have a long way to go. While it's possible to automate any specific task, building a robot that can flexibly perform a variety of actions in a novel or highly variable environment is much harder.

Huawei's new Ascend 910D AI chip could be more powerful than Nvidia's H100, a popular chip used for AI training. It is still in early development and still needs to be tested to assess performance. The company will receive its first batch of samples of the processor as soon as late May. Huawei faces challenges in producing its chips - it has been cut off from TSMC and China's closest alternative is blocked from purchasing the most advanced chip-making equipment.

Tech positions nowadays are starting to look like regular jobs. Workers are contending with the constant fear of layoffs, longer hours, and increasing responsibilities for the same pay. A few years ago, tech talent was so in demand that some people were being hired to do virtually nothing. Employees are now doing the work of multiple laid-off colleagues. Changing jobs used to be a surefire way to secure a raise, but now, asking for more money can lead to a job offer being withdrawn.

Perplexity is building its own browser to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app and sell premium ads. Its CEO believes that users will be fine with its tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them. The company has said that it would buy the Chrome browser business if Google was forced to sell. It recently signed a partnership with Motorola to have its app pre-installed on the Razr series.

X is evolving from a social media platform powered by advertisers to one betting on revenue generated from AI and subscriptions. This change appears to have had a positive effect as the company recently posted $91 million in revenue tied to data licensing and subscriptions in February, a 30% increase from last year. The company boasted nearly $1.5 billion in annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. X now has almost $1.1 billion cash on hand, but it still owes $12.5 billion in expensive debt.

Despite reusable rockets being available nowadays, NASA is still paying more than it did 30 years ago to launch missions into orbit. Launches are now becoming more routine, with SpaceX sending batches of Starlink Internet satellites and other kinds of missions into space every few days. NASA is only one of SpaceX's customers - the US military is launching more missions than ever before and SpaceX is about to become the Pentagon's top launch provider. There's still a lot of demand, so prices haven't gone down.

Aurora Innovation plans to unleash driverless trucks on a 200-mile stretch of Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston by the end of the month. The company has been testing its vehicles in closed and virtual environments. It was denied an exemption request from a federal regulation that stipulates that truck drivers must deploy roadside warning devices whenever they're stopped on the side of the road. This prompted Aurora to sue the Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as the company doesn't have human operators to physically deploy the necessary devices.

Any prompt that has been fed into a public large language model has already probably been used for training, even if they haven't been disclosed publicly. This makes it difficult to create personal benchmarks for models - mainstream benchmarks already have a high risk of being gamed. This thread contains prompts that AI still can't answer, along with discussions about the inner workings of large language models. Examples include taking a common riddle and then changing one little detail, asking something about an obscure movie, and asking about things that don't exist.

Zev helps developers remember or discover terminal commands using natural language. Users describe what they want to do and Zev presents a list of commands which users can copy and paste to use. Zev can be used with Ollama and the OpenAI API.

While the smartest AI systems are surpassing humans in some domains, it's hard to argue that today's AI systems are conscious. Consciousness is a taboo subject within the world of serious AI research as people are wary of anthropomorphizing AI systems. However, that is starting to change, as there is a growing body of academic research on AI model welfare taking the prospect of AI consciousness more seriously as systems grow more intelligent. While AI models may not be conscious yet, it may be worth exploring for signs of consciousness as long as it's not diverting resources from AI safety and alignment work aimed at keeping humans safe.

CEOs looking to blindly implement AI may be doing so to find more funding rather than build a better product. Employees stuck working in these environments are best off deciding whether they want to go on a VC-driven startup ride or work somewhere else in a product-driven role. These types of AI implementations are often not a real strategy and are more for PR. Doing things for more funding and doing things that get the work done are not always the same. If funding is a real concern, the CEO's approach might be valid.
