Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been spotted out driving today with a large red mark on his face, which appears to be a bruise. The former prince was pictured driving his filthy Land Rover near his home on the Sandringham estate and appeared to have a big blemish on his right cheek. It is not known how he sustained the injury. One relates to an alleged incident last month in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, where the defendant is accused of threatening the former Duke of York. Mr Jenkinson is also accused of threatening another man, Stephen Terry, the day before. He denies both charges. The King’s younger brother is due to give evidence via video link against Mr Jenkinson at the trial, scheduled for July 29 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was walking his dogs when the incident is alleged to have taken place shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday, May 6. The former prince moved to Marsh Farm in Norfolk earlier this year, after extensive renovation work on the property was completed. He had been living at …

Microsoft debuts Surface RTX Spark Dev Box to run large AI models without cloud costs

Microsoft debuts Surface RTX Spark Dev Box to run large AI models without cloud costs

Published by skeptic

Microsoft on Monday unveiled the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a compact desktop computer designed to let software developers run large AI models on their desks instead of paying for cloud computing — a move that directly challenges the per-token pricing model that has defined the AI industry’s economics since ChatGPT launched three and a half years ago. The device, announced at Microsoft Build 2026, packs Nvidia’s new Blackwell-architecture RTX Spark processor and 128 gigabytes of unified memory into a small-form-factor chassis, delivering what Nvidia rates at one petaflop of AI compute. In practical terms, that means a developer can load, run and interact with AI models exceeding 120 billion parameters without sending a single API call to the cloud. “These class of devices, we think, will get to about 100 billion parameter model running,” Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft’s executive vice president of Windows and Devices, said during a press briefing ahead of the event. He emphasized that raw model size is only part of the equation: “The model size is one thing, but for the …

How human error became a weapon against large language models

How human error became a weapon against large language models

Published by skeptic

Typos are a sign of a human writer… for now Marc De Simone/Alamy Recently, a friend told me over coffee about some disheartening feedback she had received. “They said it was good,” she said, “but that it read like it was written by AI.” Knowing her, I understood immediately what had happened. Her credibility was being questioned not because her work was poor, but because it was too good – too clear, too fluent, too polished. The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence tools is changing how we think about good writing. In the digital age, it is increasingly important to signal that an actual person – not a faceless large language model – is behind the words. One paradoxical way of doing this is, surprisingly, to damage the quality of your own writing. Alan Turing even made such a suggestion in the 1950s: sprinkle in a few deliberate typographical errors to appear more convincingly human. The irony, of course, is that Turing was addressing that advice to machines. My friend’s experience isn’t an isolated one. …

California Sues 23andMe Over Large 2023 Data Breach

California Sues 23andMe Over Large 2023 Data Breach

Published by Sam Flores

May 28 (Reuters) – The genetics testing company ⁠23andMe ⁠was sued on Thursday by ⁠California Attorney General Rob Bonta, over a 2023 data breach that ​exposed genetic and other personal information of an estimated 6.9 million U.S. customers. In a complaint filed in ‌San Francisco Superior Court, California ‌accused 23andMe of ignoring numerous warnings that its systems had been compromised and downplaying the ⁠severity of ⁠the data breach, which exposed information about customers’ health, genetic predispositions, ​biological relatives, ancestry and ethnicity. The breach began in April 2023 and lasted about five months. Bonta said about 856,000 Californians were affected. “This data breach, and the company’s handling of it, was entirely unacceptable,” Bonta said ​in a conference call with reporters. Neither 23andMe nor its lawyers immediately responded to requests ⁠for ⁠comment. The lawsuit was filed ⁠against Chrome ​Holding Co, the legal name for 23andMe. Bonta said he is seeking civil fines that could ​total “multiple millions” of dollars for ⁠violations of California’s Genetic Information Privacy Act and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuit came 14 months after …

Roku’s New Home Screen Has More Personalization… and a Large Ad

Published by skeptic

Roku is rolling out a new interface across all of its devices, which now includes a prominent “For You” section — and a large ad.   Also read: Best Streaming Devices of 2026 At an event in New York City, Roku’s Preston Smalley said this was the first major update to the home screen in a decade. “This is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in streaming, as half of all broadband users are using this screen,” Smalley said. The ad marquee now takes up the right-hand side of the screen and includes suggested shows as well as paid placements. Smalley told CNET that the proportion of each type, paid or programmed, wasn’t set and could change. Previously, the ad was only visible when you clicked off the text menu into the apps, but this part of the screen is not defeatable.

Uber Builds Large Stake In Germany’s Delivery Hero As Takeover Speculation Builds

Uber Builds Large Stake In Germany’s Delivery Hero As Takeover Speculation Builds

Published by Jenni Sidey

Uber is exploring a potential takeover of Delivery Hero after building a large stake in the rival German food delivery company, Bloomberg News reports. This follows an earlier report that Uber had built a 19.5% stake. On Monday, Uber disclosed that it owns 19.5% of Delivery Hero, plus an additional 5.6% through options. The position was built with the help of Morgan Stanley traders, according to people familiar with the matter. Uber’s move to acquire Delivery Hero could be an attempt to expand Uber Eats’ global footprint and improve its competitive position against DoorDash outside the US. Delivery Hero operates in more than 60 countries, giving Uber exposure to markets where it is either underscaled or trailing its competitors. Map of Operatoins of Delivery Hero Brands “While Uber’s ultimate intentions on further stake-building remain unclear, we view the move as a clear endorsement of the strategic attractiveness of Delivery Hero’s asset base for Uber,” JPMorgan analysts wrote in a note. Earlier, Uber said it “currently” has no intention of increasing its stake in Delivery Hero …
