Spring Dinner Ideas What’s not to love about spring? The weather’s getting…
While quiet luxury has dominated fashion for the past few seasons, maximalist fashion (finally) is making its comeback. I’ve never been one for minimalism, and this playful trend is all about having fun with styling, embracing bold colors, and layering with confidence. Instead of wondering whether your outfit has too much going on, maximalism says to go ahead and add that extra accessory, texture, or color. More is more, and the goal is to express yourself unapologetically—which has become my fashion mantra this spring. What is maximalist fashion? Have you ever stopped mid-scroll just to take in someone’s outfit? The…
Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Image: Anthropic/YouTube Anthropic released a new study on April 3 examining how AI models process information and the limitations of tracing their decision-making from prompt to output. The researchers found Claude 3.7 Sonnet isn’t always “faithful” in disclosing how it generates responses. Anthropic probes how closely AI output reflects internal reasoning Anthropic is known for publicizing its introspective research. The company has previously explored interpretable features within its generative AI models and questioned whether the reasoning these models present as part of their answers truly reflects their internal logic. Its latest study dives deeper into the chain of…
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday a host of new tariffs that sent the stock prices of numerous tech giants plummeting. He applied individual “reciprocal” tariffs to several nations, equivalent to half of its trade deficit with the U.S., and a baseline 10% levy on all imports. Goods from Vietnam are now subject to a 46% reciprocal tariff 32% on imports from Taiwan 26% from India Additionally, China faces a 34% reciprocal tariff, which is on top of the 20% tariff that has been in effect since March. By Thursday’s close, NVIDIA’s stock had fallen by nearly 8% as…
Image: AnnaStills/Envato Elements Midjourney unveiled on April 3 the alpha version of its V7 model — the company’s first major model release in more than a year. The update introduces significant upgrades, including new operational modes and personalization features, as Midjourney invites its community to test the model and provide feedback. The independent research lab introduced its latest AI-image generation model, V7, as a substantial step forward from its previous versions offering two operational modes — Turbo and Relax — along with a newly introduced “Draft Mode” for faster, cost-effective image rendering. The update also enables automatic model personalization, allowing…
Image: Envato/DC_Studio Researchers from AI company DeepSeek and Tsinghua University have introduced a new technique to enhance “reasoning” in large language models (LLMs). Reasoning capabilities have emerged as a critical benchmark in the race to build top-performing generative AI systems. China and the U.S. are actively competing to develop the most powerful and practical models. According to a Stanford University report in April, China’s LLMs are rapidly closing the gap with their U.S. counterparts. In 2024, China produced 15 notable AI models compared to 40 in the U.S., but it leads in patents and academic publications. What is DeepSeek’s new…
Image: Sundry Photography/Adobe Stock In a bid to tilt the cybersecurity battlefield in favor of defenders, Google has introduced Sec-Gemini v1, a new experimental AI model designed to help security teams identify threats, analyze incidents, and understand vulnerabilities faster and more accurately than before. Announced by the company’s cybersecurity research leads, Elie Burzstein and Marianna Tishchenko, Sec-Gemini v1 is the latest addition to Google’s growing family of Gemini-powered tools — but this time, it is laser-focused on cybersecurity. The growing cyber threat — and why Google’s AI push matters Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and targeted. From ransomware to…
Image: pichetw/Envato Elements Google and OpenAI have rejected the U.K. government’s proposal aimed at balancing the use of online content for AI training with protecting artists’ rights to consent and compensation. The companies suggest that a broad exception for text and data mining (TDM) would be more beneficial for all stakeholders. The government’s proposal, published in December, outlined a system that permits AI developers to use creators’ online content to train their models unless rights holders explicitly opt out. It also mandates transparency from AI developers on which creative materials they use and how these are sourced. Tech giants favor…
Get out a sheet of paper and write down all your set expenses: rent/mortgage, car payments, cable/streaming bill, cell phone, insurance, school payments, etc. Tally them up. Then write down all your discretionary spending. This is what you spend on food, movie nights, drinks, shopping, that daily coffee from Starbucks, your daily midday snack, and other similar things. If you don’t know what you spend money on, go track your expenses for a two-week period, see what you spend, and come back. Add that all up. What did you get? Probably a large sum of money. And I bet there…
