Cybersecurity startup RevEng.AI today announced raising $15 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $19.5 million. The investment round was led by NATO Innovation Fund, with additional support from Sands Capital, In-Q-Tel (IQT), IQ Capital, and Episode One. Founded in 2023, London-based RevEng.AI is using an AI model named BinNet to analyze compiled software at the binary level and identify vulnerabilities and backdoors. Unlike other solutions, the startup’s platform does not require access to source code to analyze executables, firmware, and third-party software and determine their contents. According to RevEng, the…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Billionaires aren’t like us. They get special tax breaks to protect their fortunes, operate private intelligence rings, and increasingly have direct lines to the White House, if they’re not there already. Given their increasing hold on the levers of political power, in other words, it’s likely that the world’s richest would get advance news of a civilization-threatening event. Kyle McDonald, a programmer and artist from Los Angeles, has developed a new jet tracker with exactly that dynamic in mind. Called the Apocalypse Early…

Researchers at Novee Security have disclosed a high-severity vulnerability in Pretalx, an open source platform that powers the call-for-papers (CFP) and scheduling processes for many technical conferences worldwide. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-41241 and described as a stored XSS issue, allowed any registered conference speaker to plant malicious code that would silently execute the moment an organizer searched for the attacker’s submission. The vulnerability has been patched in Pretalx version 2026.1.0. Because dozens of high-profile technical conferences share the same underlying Pretalx codebase, a single attack technique could be deployed across every deployment simultaneously. A malicious actor could submit a…
Anthropic added ~$11B ARR in one month which is more than the combined 10-year build of Palantir, Snowflake, and Databricks (which employed tens of thousands collectively). No precedent in capitalism history. SaaS/cloud created $5–10T value over decades, yet one model company matched the output of the top three recent SaaS giants instantly. Growth rates (500%+ cited earlier) imply insanity if extrapolated 3 years. This was the clearest signal ever of an S-curve exponential unlike anything seen, including DeepSeek. March/April 2026 Market Drawdown Dynamics Two types of drawdowns:(1) you’re wrong (hypothesis invalidated, crystallize loss)(2) you’re profoundly right but market disagrees on…

Most people treat USB-C as either a charging port or a data transfer cable. That’s understandable — it looks like a simple connector. But the oval-shaped port is hiding a stack of protocols that make it capable of things most folks never discover. None of this requires unusual hardware; you probably already have most of what you need to unlock USB-C’s hidden features. Related I stopped buying random USB-C cables after learning what three numbers actually mean USB-C cables are notoriously hard to identify, but these three numbers will help you figure out what they can do. Charge another phone…
The Blu-ray market has seen a resurgence lately, which is impressive for a format dating back 20 years, and faced with what are undeniably more convenient options. If you don’t care about 4K or HDR, you can spend $10 or less on a streaming service and get dozens of movies and shows each month, all of which will play instantly. Just a single Blu-ray is liable to cost more and take time to ship. When you leave home, you’re probably not going to be watching a Blu-ray movie in a plane or train seat. In a way, it’s an act…
Artificial intelligence is “an unstoppable force” that is being weaponized in ways that fall just short of traditional warfare, Britain’s cyberspying chief warned Wednesday. Anne Keast-Butler, director of the communications intelligence agency GCHQ, also said Britain and its allies are in “a space between peace and war” as Russia increases its “daily hybrid activity” against the West — even as Russian combat deaths in Ukraine approach 500,000. She said the West risks losing the conflict in cyberspace against Russia and other adversaries unless citizens, companies and governments treat cybersecurity with much greater urgency. “I’ve spent three decades working in national…
