Engineers built a flying drone that transforms midair. It rolls away smoothly to start ground missions. This makes it super agile and tough. Perfect for deliveries and exploration.

Earlier, Ethereum Foundation announced plans to fully integrate zero-knowledge proofs (zk) into L1, which could bring big changes to scalability and privacy, shaping Ethereum’s future.

One October night in 2019, a defector biked home after work. He’d spent hours serving yogurt-covered kabobs at a Yalova restaurant. The seaside town near Istanbul was quiet, shops shut early. Most locals were already home, glued to their TVs.

Miners aren't making much cash right now. Bitcoin's hashrate dipped a bit, but not by much. Still, miners—veterans and newcomers alike—aren't selling. They're holding onto their coins for now.

Apparently, there’s a story about a New York City townhouse linked to crypto and some pretty disturbing allegations. The New York Times covered it, and it's generated a thread on Hacker News, though it hasn't picked up much traction there – only two points and zero comments. It sounds like a wild, complicated situation.

Lawyer John E Deaton says calling to impeach Trump every other week isn't leadership. He hints Democrats' constant impeachment pushes lack real leadership value. Earlier, Rep. AOC called Trump's unauthorized Iran strike a "grave constitutional violation." She said it clearly warrants impeachment.

Hop on a Zoom call, sit in a lecture, or watch a YouTube vid—listen close. Beyond the talk, you’ll hear it: AI’s sneaky voice takeover. Words like "prowess" and "tapestry," loved by ChatGPT, are everywhere now. Even "bolster," "unearth," and "nuance" are slipping into how we speak.

X accused ElizaOS of breaking rules like selling data and bypassing API keys. Shaw denies it, saying they’d never do that. They cited his open-source code as proof—but it’s mostly not even his. X demanded $50K/month for an enterprise license to stop the pressure. Currently, they pay $1K for verification and $200 for dev access. Shaw calls it extortion, against his principles. He’s thinking about legal action.

Capcom kicked off tag-team fighting games 30 years ago with *X-Men vs. Street Fighter*. SNK also dabbled with *Kizuna Encounter*. Now, the genre’s growing again without Capcom, who hasn’t made a new tag fighter since 2017.

today's tech scoop from *The Download*. Amsterdam tried using AI to make welfare fairer. Officials hoped it could stop fraud without causing harm. But things didn't go as planned. The experiment shows how tricky AI can be in real life.

Vision-language models struggle with words like 'no' or 'not.' They're used for medical image analysis but miss negation cues. This can lead to errors when searching for specific images. Models might retrieve wrong ones by ignoring exclusion terms. Their performance drops unexpectedly in such cases.
