Turing Award winner Richard Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" for scaling large language models. The world is infinitely complex, and any simulation of it is "microscopic," with human expertise acting as a bottleneck that blocks real scaling. Sutton's alternative is agents that learn continually from their own experience instead of relying on frozen models.

A new bill would impose sweeping restrictions and penalties for ties with foreign institutions and contacts with foreign-based media, making it even more difficult to access information within Iran.
The critical-severity flaw allows attackers to send HTTP requests to internal endpoints and extract sensitive information. The post MLflow Vulnerability Exploited for Cloud Credential Theft appeared first on SecurityWeek .
I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373456 Points: 411 # Comments: 95
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated an attack that revives expired Visa contactless credit cards for real in-store purchases by rewriting the expiration date a point-of-sale (POS) terminal reads over near-field communication (NFC), without breaking any of the card's cryptography. The attack, which the researchers named "Zombie Card," requires physical
In August, Toru Hinkle was stocking shelves at their job at Target when they noticed two customers and asked if they needed any help. The men requested a price check on an item - but even after Hinkle told them the item was $20, the customers asked for the price again and again. "After a […]
Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped. "With Slack Code, when you have […]

In March 2026, an internal AI agent at Meta triggered a “Sev 1” incident after sensitive company and user data was exposed to employees who weren’t authorized to access it. The incident began when a Meta employee posted a technical question on an internal forum. An engineer used an approved AI agent to analyze it, but the agent posted its response publicly without approval. The employee
Prosecutors and police in Munich believe they have identified the man who set a 1970 fire at a Jewish community center and old people's home that killed seven people. But he died in 2020, so prosecution is not possible.
The U.S. debt has surpassed $40 trillion. And, a new census report on noncitizen voting that President Trump is touting has ties to a think tank aligned with him, raising concerns among experts.
My two cats live a refreshingly low-tech lifestyle. They've never experienced a robot litter box, an automated feeder, or a GPS tracker. Noodle and Loaf live blissfully unaware of the technological trappings that surround the rest of my life. Except, that is, for the glowing neon sign that turns on whenever they go to the […]
Heavy Russian bombardment kills at least 13 people in Kyiv and surrounding regions, authorities say. Missiles strike a children’s hospital in Solomianskyi district, as well as residential areas and warehouses. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urges international community to act, saying on social media: "As long as Ukraine does not have enough anti-ballistic defence, Russia will not consider peace seriously.” Continue reading...
