The Gila River is among the Southwest’s most important rivers, delivering water for people, farms, and wildlife while linking the snow-fed mountains of southwestern New Mexico to the desert lowlands of southwestern Arizona. In wetter years, seasonal snowfall on the Mogollon Mountains and Black Range provides much of the river’s spring flow and helps refill San Carlos Reservoir, which is formed by the Coolidge Dam. When filled to capacity, the reservoir is one of Arizona’s largest bodies of water. However, in 2026, lackluster snowfall left the mountain snowpack in the Gila River watershed at 2 percent of the 1991-2020 March…

Cybersecurity startup Magnitude today emerged from stealth mode with $10 million raised in a seed funding round led by Ballistic Ventures. The San Francisco-based company seeks to enhance third-party risk management (TPRM) through an autonomous AI workforce that continuously assesses vendor risks and governs AI agents across third-party ecosystems. The rapid evolution of products, AI agents, downstream dependencies, and vendors in the Mythos era requires a faster, scalable TPRM approach that can keep up, Magnitude says. The startup’s AI risk agents gather and validate data to make risk decisions and resolve issues, and improve their reasoning in time, creating an…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Elon Musk’s SpaceX went public on Friday, exploding onto the scene with a valuation that quickly eclipsed $2 trillion.

I still remember the exact moment I knew something had changed when it came to generating AI images. I typed a prompt, clicked generate, and watched my MacBook Pro produce an image. No spinning wheel telling me I was out of credits. No softened, sanitized version of what I asked for. No watermark stamped across the corner. Just the image, sitting in a folder on my machine, completely mine. I’d been putting this off for over a year. That was a mistake.

One of the smaller reasons to choose an Apple TV 4K, arguably, is that you’re unlikely to run into many issues. Media streamers in general are simple devices, and Apple has stripped away a lot of the ads and recommendations you’d see on devices from Amazon, Google, or Roku. Moreover, the box is ridiculously overpowered next to its competition — it’s not going to hitch for a lack of memory or processor power. Things can and do go wrong, though, whether because of odd design decisions, or the complexity of home theater technology. I’m going to try to tackle three…

Like many hackers, Sri Lankan-born Isira Adithya was a child prodigy, building LED bulbs and selling them to his teachers when he was just 11 years old. But he has never used his skills for nefarious purposes. “Hackers,” says Adithya, “are people who refuse to take technology at face value. They probe, test, and dismantle to understand what’s inside and how it behaves. This can be used for security research, building better systems, or, in the wrong hands, for malicious gain.” His was a dual track to fully understanding this, starting when he was gifted a laptop by his parents…
