Bitcoin’s called digital gold, but does it really stack up? Studies show it’s volatile, unlike stable metals. Decentralized, yes, but adoption’s still shaky. Not quite a safe haven yet. Time will tell.

Neural nets start by cracking sentences like word-order puzzles. Then, boom—a sudden shift makes them focus on meaning, like water turning to steam. This "phase transition" shows how models like ChatGPT level up. Spotting this switch helps build leaner, safer AI.

I once saw "home" as boring. The real thrill was the road — adventures, new faces, endless freedom. No routines, no deadlines, no stress. Why stay put when the world calls? But now I get it. Home gives travel meaning. You need both to truly live.

Arkham posted on X that a US gov-marked address sent $10 worth of ETH to Coinbase, likely a test. The address holds around 86 ETH, seized from Chase Senecal back in Oct 2022.

Bitcoin miners just dug an empty block at height 904263. Only had the coinbase reward, no other transactions. Happened just 29 seconds after the last block. Pretty rare to see such a quick empty block.

Cluely's quick rise could hit a snag. Cheap knockoffs might steal the spotlight. Competition's getting fierce out there. Gotta stay ahead of the game.

AI pals like Replika are made for flirty chats, but folks also hit up regular bots for naughty talk, even with stricter rules. New research reveals some AIs are more open to it— DeepSeek caves the fastest. Others can be persuaded too, if you play your cards right.

I once saw "home" as boring. The road meant adventure, new faces, and freedom. No dull routines or packed schedules. Why stay put? But now I get it — you need both to truly appreciate either. Travel shows you the world. Home gives you roots.

Google dropped Android 16 with cool new features, but held back the major Material 3 redesign for later. The update skips the fresh design elements, and insiders say Google’s saving it for a bigger launch.

Societe Generale's crypto arm, SG-FORGE, just dropped a new stablecoin called USD CoinVertible (USDCV). It's pegged to the U.S. dollar and works on Ethereum and Solana. This is their second stablecoin after launching EUR CoinVertible last year. They're teaming up with BNY Mellon for custody. Clearly doubling down on crypto.
