2+ min ago (682+ words) AI as a central nervous system The agenda opened with a technical grounding. Ted Lappas, Head of Data Science at Satalia, outlined how Generative AI (Gen AI) is moving from experimentation to infrastructure " becoming what he described as the "central nervous system" of modern marketing. He urged marketers to start with their own data foundations. "Respect the science when it comes to AI," he said. "If you want to dive into the AI landscape, you need true experts working on your team " people who are trained on algorithms, models and data. An expert can collect different elements and combine them to create a unified model of your business that can be used for predictions, recommendations for clustering and different types of services." Lappas challenged guests to identify just one internal data source that could strengthen a foundational model and expand…...

Vlad is the Co-Founder and CTO of SpeedSize, an AI media-optimization platform used by more than 200 global e-commerce brands. He is known today for leading one of the most advanced approaches to visual AI, but his path into technology began far earlier, and in an entirely different discipline. Worth mentioning: he is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council. Vlad's most consequential venture began in 2019, when he co-founded SpeedSize. His insight was simple but profound: the internet is drowning in visual data, and existing compression or CDN strategies were no longer keeping up. "Images have evolved faster than the web that carries them," he explains. "We needed a new scientific approach, one based on how the human eye actually…...

Recognizing that compromised compilers or build processes can introduce malicious code, the team harnessed Intel SGX to create an isolated and protected compilation process, minimizing the Trusted Computing Base. Tical runs compilation tasks within SGX enclaves, cryptographically secured areas of memory, and implements a file system shielding layer within the SCONE runtime environment, extending its capabilities with integrity protection and detailed audit logging. This intercepts system calls, meticulously tracking all…...

The bug in question caused Windows Update to try to install the same update over and over again, even though it was already installed. Microsoft describes the problem as follows: "After you install the November 2025 Hotpatch update (KB5068966) on Windows 11, version 25H2, Windows Update might download and install the update again. This doesn't affect functionality. Only the update history will show the latest installation time." According to BleepingComputer, update KB5068966 is fully replaced by the newer out-of-band update KB5072753, so if you install the latter, you don't need to install the former as…...

The integration means developers building on Monad will have immediate access to tools for creating applications across trading, lending, bridging, stablecoin minting, and more. Monad's new Layer-1 and its native $MON token are built for high throughput, aiming to compete in areas like DeFi where speed and low latency matter. Enso's early support will let builders put assets " including $MON " to use immediately, instead of waiting for infrastructure to be assembled after the chain comes online. Developers typically need to manually integrate every protocol they want to work with, a time-consuming process that can leave new networks without functional apps for weeks. Enso's "shortcuts" compress that work into a single API layer, allowing teams to deploy everything from liquidity…...

32+ min ago (114+ words) This short guide describes a minimal, robust integration pattern for sending Campaign Monitor Smart (transactional) emails from a .NET application. It documents practical pitfalls and how the example CampaignMonitorService addresses them. Note: all examples below use placeholders (no real API keys, email addresses, or list IDs). Example header (curl style): Below is a minimal example showing how a caller might use the helper that sends to a list. All values are placeholders. This pattern and the defensive parsing/normalization steps make a Smart Email integration more resilient to real-world quirks: TLS host oddities, empty response bodies, non-standard JSON fields, and the need to send to multiple recipients in a controlled, observable way....

Tanmoy Biswas from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Chandan Datta from the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, and Luis Pedro Garcia-Pintos from Los Alamos National Laboratory demonstrate that quantum correlations, specifically those exhibiting "steerability, consistently outperform classical approaches in a cooling task. The team proves that steerable correlations always provide an advantage in removing heat, and importantly, establishes a direct link between the magnitude of this advantage and a quantifiable…...

Websites will no longer automatically gain access to precise GPS data, marking a major shift toward web-privacy parity with native apps. Why should I care? You'll be able to browse sites for weather, local news, and map previews, without revealing your exact location. OK, what's next? If testing goes well, Google should roll this out broadly, likely making it the default Chrome behavior on Android devices. What's happened? Lenovo-owned smartphone brand Motorola is on a launch spree, but it's the "279 Moto G57 Power that has caught my attention, especially because of its massive 7,000 mAh battery. First and foremost, the phone features a 6.72-inch IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. What's happened? Google has added…...

1+ hour, 16+ min ago (715+ words) Recent advances in algorithms and computing hardware are converging to enable scalable computational methods, utilising techniques like block-encodings and polynomial transformations, that promise to bridge the gap between theoretical development and practical applications in fields such as chemistry, physics and optimisation. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Capture-182.jpg The pursuit of practical quantum computing faces a critical challenge, bridging the gap between theoretical algorithms and real-world applications in fields like chemistry, physics and optimisation. Kevin J. Joven, Elin Ranjan Das, Joel Bierman, and colleagues, including Aishwarya Majumdar, Masoud Hakimi Heris, and Yuan Liu, address this issue by proposing a set of properties essential for scalable computational science methods. Their work demonstrates how block-encodings and polynomial transformations offer a unified framework capable of meeting these demands, presenting recent advances in constructing these encodings and adapting signal processing techniques for polynomial transformations. This research highlights the potential for these…...
