Biden's Red Sea Strategy Hits High Gear As Insurers Drop US Ships and Suez Traffic Reaches Pandemic Lows

Embattled Fulton County DA Fani Willis Makes Bizarre Accusation Against Wife of Her Alleged Lover

Image: OpenAI A new report from Bloomberg says that once-again CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman’s efforts to raise billions for an AI chip venture are aimed at using that cash to develop a “network of factories” for fabrication that would stretch around the globe and involve working with unnamed “top chip manufacturers.” A major cost and limitation for running AI models is having enough chips to handle the computations behind bots like ChatGPT or DALL-E that answer prompts and generate images. Nvidia’s value rose above $1 trillion for the first time last year‚ partly due to a virtual monopoly it has as GPT-4‚ Gemini‚ Llama 2‚ and other models depend heavily on its popular H100 GPUs. Accordingly‚ the race to manufacture more high-powered chips to run complex... Continue reading…

Jeep’s all-electric Wagoneer S to hit US dealerships in the fall. | Image: Jeep Jeep’s first all-electric vehicle for the US‚ the midsize Wagoneer S‚ will be available for purchase this fall‚ according to a press release. The vehicle’s specifications are similar to when Jeep first teased the Wagoneer S in 2022: 600hp‚ a zero to 60mph time of about 3.5 seconds‚ and a grille lit by LEDs. But as Car and Driver notes‚ Jeep owner Stellantis has yet to confirm whether the Wagoneer S includes the 400-mile target range the company announced when it first showed off the vehicle. The Verge has reached out to Stellantis for comment. The all-electric 2025 Jeep Recon is also slated to go on sale sometime in 2024‚ according to Jeep’s website. Unlike the more modern-looking Wagoneer S‚ the Recon evokes the old-school era of... Continue reading…

Galaxy AI: free‚ for now. Galaxy AI has arrived‚ as Samsung has declared in the loudest way possible‚ but the company left one small detail out of its presentation earlier this week: it might come at a cost. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra‚ S24 Plus‚ and S24 all include a smorgasbord of new AI features — everything from translating phone conversations to removing objects from photos. They’ll even be coming to many older phones‚ too. But as spotted by Android Central‚ the fine print on Samsung’s website reveals that they might not be free forever. And that might be a tough sell. The footnote at the bottom of the Galaxy S24 Ultra product page is vague‚ but clearly leaves a door open for Samsung to charge later: “Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the...

It’s a big thing for a tech heavyweight like Samsung to invest in a more niche wearable device. | Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge Smartwatches have long reigned supreme in the wearable world. Smart rings have hovered around the periphery‚ but earlier this week‚ Samsung ended its Unpacked event with a tease of the Galaxy Ring. To me‚ that reads like the company is itching to shake up the wearable world order. That might sound hyperbolic given that all Samsung did was play a flashy reel of a sparkly ring with a few visible sensors on the inside of the band. Few details were given onstage. But in an email‚ Samsung spokesperson Amber Reaver told me that the ring is meant to “empower more people to manage their health with a comprehensive yet simplified approach to everyday wellness at home.” Part of that is having consistent and accurate tracking data over a lengthy...

No matter how careful you are about creating strong passwords and keeping your data private‚ chances are good that some of your passwords will eventually leak. Huge troves of stolen data are being sold and distributed online every week‚ but a recent breach was so substantial that it even took Have I Been Pwned? creator Troy Hunt by surprise. In a recent blog post (via Futurism)‚ Hunt said that he was recently made aware of a credential stuffing list (a collection of compromised user credentials‚ such as usernames and passwords) that had been posted to a popular hacking forum. These lists pop up all the time‚ and as Hunt notes‚ they're usually just repackagings of previous lists containing the same information. This one's different. According to Hunt‚ this leaked dataset contains nearly 71 million unique email addresses‚ and more than a third of the email addresses have never been seen before in previous leaks. Hunt says that the new data in the credential stuffing list is "from "stealer logs" or in other words‚ malware that has grabbed credentials from compromised machines." Hunt tested a random sample of email addresses to see if they were actually connected to the sites and services in question‚ and they all worked. While many of the username and password combinations will be out of date‚ this is clearly legitimate data. There are hundreds of millions of passwords in the list -- at least one of yours is likely among them. That's the bad news. The good news is that Troy Hunt and his team have made all of the email addresses searchable in HIBP and uploaded all of the passwords to Pwned Passwords. If your data was part of this leak‚ you'll be able to find it on haveibeenpwned.com. Needless to say‚ you should probably take this opportunity to change your passwords.
