AI is our new leader. We just accept and do what it tells us. Maybe we should be a bit more circumspect. Concern over the performance of AI agents has been constant, ranging from ‘leaky’ to just plain wrong decision-making. Since the pressure to use more agents more autonomously because of supercharged AI-assisted attacks is now constant, Adversa AI’s decision to measure and compare the performance and security of 100 agents across ten categories is welcome. But the results are not. Of the 100 agents tested, and positioned within a new AI Risk Quadrant, only 11 are categorized as ‘capable…
NASA-supported scientists have provided new information about how the early Earth may have acquired some elements necessary for the planet to become habitable. They also suggest a new role for Jupiter in the distribution of these elements throughout the young solar system. The study, published today in Science Advances, examines this history by looking at the ratio of phosphorus to nitrogen in iron meteorites and in younger objects known as chondrites. Debjeet Pathak Rice University Our solar system formed from gas and dust that swirled around the proto-Sun more than 4.5 billion years ago. This gas contained the raw materials…

Before I got my first Kindle, I’ll admit I was hesitant to make the jump from physical books to an e-reader. I like collecting books, and there’s something about holding an actual book and turning its pages that just feels right. But when I finally picked up a basic entry-level Kindle, I was glad I did. Don’t get me wrong, I still like buying and reading physical books, but there’s no denying the convenience Kindles bring. You can carry an entire library of books with you wherever you go, which has been especially handy when I’m traveling abroad, and the…

Lithium mining is like a modern gold rush. The element is the main ingredient in batteries powering smartphones, electric cars, and even AI. Global demand is surging. Increased production could guide the world toward a more sustainable energy future.But ironically, current extraction methods offset some of those gains. Lithium mining involves separating the element from brines using toxic chemicals, a process that also pumps out carbon dioxide. This, alongside enormous water and energy costs—due to high temperature requirements—has confined mining to a handful of countries.To address these drawbacks, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now developed a low-cost,…

I’ve been really getting into running local LLMs lately, and Ollama has been a lifesaver. It’s a great tool, but I always felt like the interface left something to be desired. So I started looking for a proper UI that hooks into it, and turns out there are actually a few decent options, and I think I’ve found the perfect one for me. Related I hooked Obsidian to a local LLM and it beats NotebookLM at its own game My notes now talk back and it’s terrifyingly useful. Ollama is great… for developers I want something prettier Yadullah Abidi /…

Hundreds of thousands of websites are potentially exposed to attacks exploiting two vulnerabilities in the Kirki and Burst Statistics WordPress plugins, Defiant warns. Kirki provides website and freeform page creation, and WordPress customizer enhancements. The plugin’s versions 6.0.0 to 6.0.6 are affected by an unauthenticated privilege escalation and account takeover bug. Tracked as CVE-2026-8206 (CVSS score of 9.8), the issue impacted the plugin’s password reset flow, which allowed attackers to provide a username and an arbitrary email address and have a password reset key sent to that address. “This means an unauthenticated attacker can send a request specifying a high-privileged…
