物理学者、AIコンピューティングで電子を置き換える光と物質のハイブリッド粒子を生成
物理学者が、光と物質のハイブリッド粒子「ポラリトン」を利用した新しいコンピューティング手法を開発した。この技術は、従来の電子ベースの半導体よりも高速でエネルギー効率に優れ、特にAI処理において大きな可能性を秘めている。研究チームは、この粒子を用いて基本的な論理演算を実証し、将来的な光ベースのAIハードウェアへの道を開いた。

A state-designed worm from 2005 called Fast16 sat undetected on VirusTotal for nearly a decade. It intercepted executable files at the kernel level and silently altered floating-point calculations in high-precision engineering software like LS-DYNA, which was used in Iran's nuclear weapons research. Unlike Stuxnet, Fast16 received little public attention for over twenty years.
Paul Graham reports that Y Combinator startups now have over 75% of their code written by AI, a threshold crossed at least one to two years ago. This parallels a similar transformation at Google, where AI-written code went from 0% to 75% in about two years.
Scientists are increasingly concerned about the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system. Such a collapse could have severe consequences for North America and Europe.
A compromised version of the LiteLLM Python package (version 1.82.8) was briefly available on PyPI, capable of exfiltrating sensitive credentials like SSH keys and cloud secrets. The malicious package affected any project that depended on LiteLLM, though it was only available for about an hour before discovery.
A supply chain attack has compromised the popular npm axios HTTP client library with 300 million weekly downloads. Malicious versions install a remote access trojan, though some users may have avoided infection through version pinning or older installations. Security experts warn this is a live compromise affecting one of npm's most depended-on packages.
